Goes back to being envious of having photo with Det. Murdoch!!  I am looking forward to being the one who snaps your pic with the good Detective this summer. Yes, I'm that confident!  I hope so. A photo with Yannick is one thing but William Murdoch is my guy!  |

Yep, not only a problem but a gruelling schedule. Yannick looks really tired again at the end of this season as he did at the end of S7. Perhaps they should start sooner and finish later and have a couple of hiatus at appropriate intervals. It would also give them time to look over what they've filmed and make changes if necessary. I agree that Yannick looks tired. His colour was terrible tonight, but he looked good the night I saw him. **goes back to oogle prized photo** I noticed that last year: he looked tired in later episodes, but great in interviews done at the same time. I think some of that is a failure of the people doing make up and lighting. The lighting has almost always been bad on MM. It makes me wonder if American TV shows have some secret they aren't sharing with Canada yet. |

Maybe we're back to Snacky's point that 18 episodes all shot without a break may be part of the problem. Yep, not only a problem but a gruelling schedule. Yannick looks really tired again at the end of this season as he did at the end of S7. Perhaps they should start sooner and finish later and have a couple of hiatus at appropriate intervals. It would also give them time to look over what they've filmed and make changes if necessary. The writers seem to need more lead-in time as well. Hint, hint.  |

You have to wonder about how CBC didn't have all the titles, let alone in order, until very close to air date for the second half of this season. I think they've been scrambling since What Lies Buried. They had some murder plots but had mysteriously forgotten how to link the shipper arc. I think they did a good job with the suffragist arc as it's been going all season and the Gedna ship has been sweet but too much just doesn't add up in terms of the MM formula. I've been wondering what's been going on with the last half of the season's episodes. Unfortunately once they'd finished filming they couldn't add any more shippy scenes. Perhaps they tried to manipulate the scenes they had to try and appease the shippers. Didn't work. Excellent point about not being able to add any more scenes once filming stopped. I'd like to believe they tried to re-edit a bit, but it seems to me like PM at least has just been justifying what they did.  |

He's not going to admit he made a mistake and ticked off a whole segment of the fandom. We can only hope that he takes a lesson from this season and puts things to rights (as much as can be now) next season. Unfortunately he'll never get the opportunity to redo the honeymoon period. I still maintain he brought too much of his own idea of romance i.e. none, to this season. There was no attempt to create UST so that's no excuse. As individual episodes most of this season's were ok but taken as a whole the latter half of the season was an epic fail. It would appear that the board is censoring our posts. Three times I tried to write something and it wouldn't take it but did once I changed the wording.... |

Got the episode tonight (yay!) but not going to watch it fully until tomorrow (i wants foods with it! and not getting tired) Just watched the ending with Gedna. (Murder not spoiled) And am I the only one with the feeling that George's love life is resembling Williams? (like post marriage the whole Jilliam saga; and yes it was a saga)
Now the H word is back (and admit it we'd rather he wasn't) it's kind of reminding me of the whole Garland diabolical. Edna wants George but is stuck in a marriage with a man she thought was dead for over a year. Divorce really isn't an option; (financially) and annulment probably wouldn't work, we're back to wishing he was dead or stayed dead.
Reminding anyone of a certain situation?

Jonny has proved himself to be a great dramatic actor tonight. I did think it may be the sequential killer but it's more likely Edna's husband, unless he turns out to be the killer but I doubt that. I doubt it's Edna's husband too. That was a suit sleeve...Lesley Garland?? I'm on the husbund or "Artful Detective" killer wagon myself. It's possible it is Leslie Garland, but what would he want with George? His quarrel is with Emily/Julia/William. |

Stipulating that Agnes MacPhail is someone of historical significance I googled. I was right. Courtesy of this Wikipedia page I bring you Agnes MacPhail For those wondering Agnes MacPhail was the first woman to be elected in the Canadian House of Commons. She was born in 1890, so would be 12 around the time the picture was taken. She was elected in 1921 after changes had been made to the Election Act in 1919. She was then re-elected in 1925,1926 and 1930 Federal Canadian Elections. Provincial Elections wise-she and Rae Luckock were the first women elected provincial-wise and Agnes was the first woman elected into Ontario Legislature and was sworn in as the first Ontario Member of Provincial Parliament |

Hmm, I'm now wondering if it's leading into next week's ep and it is the sequential killer. Could he kill Edna's husband, leaving them free to marry? Not actually thinking that will happen, just positing the question. Still think George is going to be at SH4 after S9 starts if not right at the beginning. As he can't be there as a detective and he can't really afford to marry on a constable's salary it doesn't make sense to kill off Edna's husband so they can marry, unless ... they're going to try angst and UST with George and Edna.  |

Three times I tried to write something and it wouldn't take it but did once I changed the wording.... Yes the board does censor certain words. I've noticed that before, hahahaha.  Regarding PM - as we've drawn closer toward the end of the season, and, as you say, there is no chance of a "redo", I've been hoping more and more that the distance was intentional. PM denied it, but I kept hoping it was actually going to crop up and he didn't want to let the cat out of the bag too soon. As Fallenbelle put it: "embrace the angst". You can't get the honeymoon period back, but if you decide the distance is "on purpose", and write some dialogue to resolve it, then what the characters can do is something like a "second honeymoon" period to address the tensions that they've been going through. Perhaps they can go to Europe for real honeymoon~ |

Yes, wouldn't it be nice if the first to die was Edna's returning husband...  |

It's possible it is Leslie Garland, but what would he want with George? His quarrel is with Emily/Julia/William. Total soap opera if Leslie becomes a serial killer. Still voting that he's a "mob lawyer" in the making, and he's an idiot who will be used by some other criminal mastermind. |
