I use it on landscape most of the time. I still end up correcting every other word. I proof read everything I write. But if you're making quick notes, you don't have to be grammatically perfect...easier said than done, however.  When I first joined this forum, I didn't have a computer-just my iPad which seems intent on autocorrecting things to some strange words, and it still does. Strangely enough, it really only seems to do it here on this forum, and I don't understand it. My kindle is about twice as big as an iPhone and it still drives me up a tree. I'm not sure I could even think in electronic format in the first place anyway. Most of my creative writing happens after I've jotted down some notes by hand - the process of organizing them keeps me from drawing a blank when I'm writing on my laptop later. |

Yes Hodge was loyal, to a fault apparently, and someone who just wanted to please his mates and bosses. William always has some project or experiment on the go where he needs volunteers to do the legwork or whatever. Would be more likely that Julia would invite William to come have a drink with the boys!  Then what might happen is that Julia is the first to visit Hodge's pub to smooth things over, and then she lures William over for a drink after making sure no bar fights will break out. Works for me! Probably works for Julia too! I believe they could hire Hodge to assist in the morgue---wheeling bodies around, in and out of the freezer, etc. |

It's not a matter of being grammatically perfect, it's a matter of actually recognizing the words! |

Send that to Christine Jennings!  |

Potentially...HUGE...blooper...?
Something just occurred to me.
This episode's events is supposed to have originally taken place in 1882, when the body was buried and poured over with concrete.
The episode skips forward to 1902.
...Why is there an 1889 date on the stationhouse wall?

Maybe the body was buried in 1882, but the concrete pouring didn't occur until the Station House was rebuilt in 1889? |

No, the concrete was poured the next day. It says so in the episode.

I don't need to. Watch any episode of MM. It says so on the station-house entrance on every single establishing-shot. Season 1. Episode 1. About seven minutes into the episode: "Police Station No. 4" "1889". Here's a shot, anyway, just to satisfy your curiosity...   This is from Season 2 - Snakes and Ladders. It's the same in every single episode. "Police Station No. 4"
"1889"You mean after all this time, the producers completely forgot that their murder-site wasn't built until SEVEN YEARS AFTER the murder took place there? |

Writers and showrunners, you have some 'splaining to do!  Ps. It would be sad if there is a major historical nitpick with what should be showcases as one of MM's greatest episodes...  |

That episode has me so glued to the plot and undercurrents of emotion that for once the details fade completely into the background, even on rewatch 4, 5, 6... |

Perhaps the stationhouse was only a small one story building at the time and major expansion took place in 1889. Just a thought as to how it could be explained away. |

This could very likely be the explanation....the original Station House 4 was combined with a fire hall, so renovations to the building are quite logical......
Cheers.

The CBC is replaying this episode tonight and I just watched it. Every time I see it, I am amazed at how powerful it is. This has to be my favourite episode....even though I knew what happened, I was still on the edge of my seat during the interviews scenes between Murdoch and Giles.
Cheers
