I don't know who wants to kill Julia and like Carco, I thought that "The Black Hand" was back and I never thought of Eva PIERCE but it's quite plausible. But to be honest, my first question was to know if Julia really was the target or if it was just a combination of circumstances. Indeed, it could have been William if he had opened the door instead of Julia. I just hope that we won't have to wait until the next season for knowing if Julia will survive and if she will be fine. I also thought -and I don't like this idea- that maybe they could pretend that Julia is dead until they find the culprit and she will "temporarily" -and I know that it could last a very long long long time- be obliged to leave Toronto and go to Europa -a way to explain her absence during the first twelve episodes of the tenth season. After all, the writers adore to seraparate the couple. After watching the preview I wondered if it was Julia the attacker was after, as I would have expected William to answer the door as a rule. Perhaps it didn't matter who answered the door and either one of them would be shot. The modus operandi/operating method used by the shooter is rather strange/a little puzzling. It seems based on the result of happenstance. It made me think the third episode of the sixth season, Murdoch on the Corner; the episode in which Mrs LYND wanted to punish people chosen at random for their sin. So it could be a man or a woman who has been betrayed by his unfaithful wife or her unfaithful hubsand and like Mrs LYND, he or she would feel invested of a mission. He or she would visit hotels, the best place to catch illegitimate couples in the act, and would punish them because any man or woman in a such relationship both would deserve to be killed according the attacker. It could be ironic too. Indeed, William wanted to leave the hotel for moving in their home (sweet home). Or it could be an angry woman who wanted to kill her hubsand or his mistress. She knocked the wrong door because of a 6 turning into 9 for example. She could have shot on her husband or any woman in states of undress in front of her. Ooooooor I should stop making suppositions. By the way, I'm bad at guessing correctly.

Dear fan2TV: I'm with you on this one--PM has a lot of back-story to pull from-- they do tend to drop in little tid-bits to use later and I like your overall assessment...I did notice positive affection between W&J in the subsequent episode and I was relieved-- but I don't trust it...on the other hand if PM is not torturing W&J maybe he is just torturing "us" ...-rg Hello rg! I don't know if the writers want to torture "us" but I note/notice with regret that they spoil the romantic and humoristic potential of the relationship between the two characters. I saw in the "Bl**dy h*ll" episode that there is no distance between Julia and William anymore. It would appear that they are now returning to their everyday life. A good thing! But I can't help thinking that there is a distance between the two actors. According to me, their performances were better years ago. Now, they were often frozen in one or two positions as if they didn't dare move/as if they avoided to move or touch. I liked their interactions which were subtly integrated into the stories/the middle of investigations and they didn't make the MURDOCH MYSTERIES show a soap opera. I miss them.

I can understand that it might be hard for Julia and William to let Roland go. The writers showed us that they loved this baby. So I can understand their pain/their sadness because of the separation. But this ordeal created a distant between Julia and William. I think that Julia can't blame herself for asking Miss Freddie PINK to investigate and I also think that William can't blame Julia. It would be absurd because he would investiagte by himself, he couldn't help it. From the moment that they both knew that Joanne PERLY couldn't be the natural mother of Roland, they both knew that he surely had parents expecting his return and so they couldn't keep him. And objectively, bringing Roland back to his natural father was the best and the only thing that Julia and William could do. And no one can deny. According to me, the separation is the origine of this distant but not its cause. I think that the ordeal made Julia remind how much William wanted to be a father and maybe made her feel guilty for not being able to give him a son. She must have remembered " his joke " when William said to her that he would go with Captain BERNIER to the North Pole, a four years expedition, if he wasn't a father. What a modern husband! She can so easily think that he wouldn't stay just for her. OUCH! And it could explain the reason why she needed space and time. And I was disappointed to see that one more time, William put his work first and let Julia leave. I just hope that Julia -as a psychiatrist and as a doctor- will not fall into depression and become alcoholic. To finish, I also thought about a possible solution to their problem but I found no one. According to me, they just can not adopt a child to remplace another one. And Julia being pregnant seemed not to be an idea for the writers of MURDOCH MYSTERIES. Dommage!

I'm not sure I agree with William being too passive. IMHO, William made a deliberate choice to be "modern", but that choice is hard for him. He's determined, but he's also in unknown territory. Since Julia represents modernity to him in many ways, he lets her take the lead. Sometimes I think stick-in-the-mud William is played too far, and he comes across as slightly frumpy. It's more fun when outsiders like Bat Masterson totally under-estimate him. At the very beginning, you seem to be agreed with me. Then, the next seconde, you try to explain his passive behaviour and try to show a positive side/aspect about it. I even have the impression that you make excuses for him/for defending the image of the great detective William MURDOCH. It was not -and it's still not- my intention to tarnish the character or his image. But saying -I quote you- "he lets her take the lead" is other words for "William is passive". This is a fact. And I don't like the umbalance in their romantic/marital relationship. You also said that William made a deliberate choice to be "modern" -it's a good thing!- and being "modern" makes me think: - mutual respect between spouses. - equality between husbands and wives. - gender equality. - mens/husbands and womens/wives both support a family. - husbands do not care if their wife have a higher professionnal statut in the society or come from a higher social class and so earn or have more money than them. - wives not being in a submissive position, wives are not obliged to obey their husband. - the conjugal duty can not be imposed by husbands to their wife. - wives are free to decide if they want or not to have babies. As you can see, it makes me think a lot of things but it can't explain why William is so passive. Or otherwise it would mean that if he wanted to hug his wife or to kiss her or to make love to her, he should wait until she takes the first step because of his will of being modern. It doesn't make sense! To finish, I noticed that even Julia took the first step -and we can't deny how determined she is: she wrapped herself up as a present for him-, William was not very reactive. But as you said a long time ago it's not a soap opera.

Woah, if I was George I'd be saying "Sir I'll be back in an hour" and do the clothes on the Christmas tree mean William has thrown his off or given other picture does Julia redress with hair up and all dressed again! Of course all reliant on pictures being related, I'm thinking they are but constantly wrong! Have been loathe to post given earlier comments about negativity and rereading some of mine, I wondered oh dear maybe me. Anyhow lesson one don't write something after a lunch, a very long lunch in the sun! Loving the interaction between William and Julia this year, someone on Facebook said they preferred their romance more subtle, I'm the opposite I'd like it ramped up even further!!The chemistry between the actors is so cute! Poor George! But I wonder who is the most embarrassed in this awkward moment. It will be hard for the three of them to look into their eyes... but not for a long time. I also noticed the romance between Julia and William was back in the background of the episodes of the ninth season and I'm not complaining. On the contrary, I like it! But I can't stop thinking that William is rather passive, as usual, even now they are married and even when he was drugged (he was not "hungry"), which causes -according to me- a umbalance in their relationship. But I suppose it is take or leave it and that's why I stopped focusing my attention of their couple. Maybe at the end of this episode, he will show her how much he loves her in his birthday suit and a red ribbon knotted around his neck. After all, everything is possible at Christmas Day. Well if she is still able to see him and appreciate her gift, the garland of light bulbs seems to be too powerful and Julia could end up blind.

Julia has a very special christmas gift/present for William. But he couldn't enjoy it... for now! They use the old right tactics/trick of the interruption which is in this case: the surprise guest!But the guest didn't know that he would be surprised. It's so sweet to invite George for Christmas. It would appear that William wants to light up the Christmas tree or... burn it!

Hello! I found the last discussion between Freddie PINK and William very interesting. Indeed I'm curious to know the true resaon why Freddie PINK wants to open her agency in TORONTO. It's obvious that she has to leave MONTREAL even if she denied to be in trouble. Moreover, she accepted William's help for the future. I wonder if she'll need his help just for her future cases and/or because of her past activites in MONTREAL. William seemed to be worried about her idea of working in TORONTO. Is he afraid of competition? About the Dr OGDEN's fight against the racial discrimination: Dr OGDEN is a character that I like very much from the beginning and Hélène JOY is a good actress. I could feel how hard it was -especially for a woman- to stand up against a such injustice. I liked the influence that Dr OGDEN had on the Inspector BRACKENREID -it's as though she was his wife- to get some informations to defend her assistant, Miss Rebecca JAMES. The way she said "tell me what you know" was enough for him to decide to cooperate. I would even say he had no other choices. The entire scene made me smile. And I also thought that she was good at blackmailing. Échec et mat, M. RICHMOND! I noticed that since Dr OGDEN was back to the morgue and since George CRABTREE was demoted, the group dynamics has been restored. YES!

Goodbye Dr GRACE! I don't want to be mean and maybe I'm the only one to say it but... I will NOT miss Dr GRACE. At the beginning, I found the character funny because she made Detective MURDOCH a bit unconfortable but it didn't last for long. Her relationship with George was -according to me- uninteresting. I didn't like it because it was a poor copy of the relationship between the doctor OGDEN and the detective MURDOCH and because there was no chemistry between them. The only good thing was that she encouraged him as constable to show initiative. At the end, when she fell in love with a woman, it sounded false/it rang hollow. And after the death of Lillian MOSS -may she rest in peace! lol-, I was relieved to learn that she still wanted to go to England. And after the death of Dr SLATER -may he rest in peace too-, I was happy to learn that they needed a coroner sooooooooooooooo... Welcome back Dr ODGEN! A good news, don't you think?
Welcome back fan! Long time no see! Hi Snacky! Yes, it's been a long time! I can't follow and read all comments, I would like to but I just can't. I decided to post my opinions from time to time.

I hope George will be soon released: he can not be guilty. It seems that MURDOCH is obsessed with the idea of flying. Some other pictures from the filming of MURDOCH MYSTERIES. Waouh, they really keep us informed this year! They share pictures and now a video.

Hi everyone! I have to say to you that you will not like this thread if you don't like SPOILERS. For the others, I propose to share pictures that we can find in waiting for the all new season of MURDOCH MYSTERIES so... Que l'enquête commence!

Greetings Murdochians, just watched the last episode of season 8. what theories have you out there to what has happened. I like your thread, it's a good question: what's happened? Warning for people who think theories which could be SPOILERS: stop reading. My theory is that GEORGE IS THE KILLER. He let all the evidences against himself behind him and he will let his superiors think that he wanted to cover/protect Edna or Simon. And it will be easy because they'll think George is not able to do a such thing. So MURDOCH will expose a plausible theory to innocent George but without proving the guilty of Edna or Simon or someone else and it will be normal because they are innocent. THE PERFECT CRIME. Nooooo, I'm joking. I think that George bought a gun and gave to Edna so that she can protect herself and her son against her husband. But she surely couldn't accept at the beginning but he finally menaged to convince her just in case of. I think there was a fight and Edna threatened her husband with the gun and when he tried to disarm her: - he was killed with an accidental gunshot. OR - the gun fell on the ground and Simon picked it up and killed his father to protect his mother. Then George felt so guilty to bring a gun/firearm in their house than he confessed to the crime/murder he has not committed. OR -Perhars, George wanted to stop and arrest the husband of Edna. There was a fight, Archie BROOKS tried to disarm George and BANG! Mr BROOKS dropped dead. But it will be hard to prove that it was a situation of self-defense because: - George could be depicted as a jealous lover. He loves Edna and proposed her before the return of Mr BROOKS. - He tries to disguise the crime in a murder of another case. And what's yours?
