Please, share the links and let us watch them! Sorry I was excited... Can't tell exactly if it's her though. I see some constables on the first photo but there are also a lot of people and I didn't think that Julia and William could have so many guests for their wedding. That's true! I don't recognize Hélène JOY. But perharps they use a stand-by for the rehearsal in order to take some landmarks before starting filming.

It's definitely a church and there have been more photos on tumblr recently that have got me rather excited. Not to mention a trolling comment by Maureen herself. Please, share the links and let us watch them!

Ever wonder why she's always twiddling with William's tie... >.> Julia dreams of removing William's tie which represents the last boundary between them. She, unlike him, seems to be ready to get through and share more intimate moment. But for him, it cleary remains the symbol of the propriety, he believes in propriety and he will not let her taking it off from him before beeing married.

Hi everybody! I have to make it clear that this new thread is not for you if you don't like SPOILERS! I saw some pictures from the filming of the eighth season and I thought you would like to see them so I wanted to share the links: - /photo/1. As you can notice, they started to film/shot the third episode of the season eight. Indeed, you can read "803" in the top right corner of the clap. So it makes me think -and I don't know why- that the first two must be one episode in two parts. - Zoom on the left of this picture: ow.ly/i/5MpqR/original. Say "hello" to the Inspector BRACKENREID! - 38.media.tumblr.com/0dec29b625a690ed09c06299866711b8/tumblr_n87n5mice91rqd5leo1_1280.jpg. This picture was posted by Harryronhermioneginny on tumblr with a comment which caught all my attention. I quote: "Is that a church I see?".

I love it! It reminds me of me every time I was watching a all new MURDOCH MYSTERIES episode. Indeed, I focused all my attention on it -and I surely frowned- in the one hand in order to well understand what characters were saying and on the other hand to find out the culprit/to resolve the mystery. And I waited until I was enlightened. Thanks again for this picture!

I know a US TV show sets in present day in which the main character fantasizes about men that she meet. It's older than MURDOCH MYSTERIES. There is not only one kind of fantasies (some of them were pure desires, others were daydreams and there were also hallucinations; they vary depending on the context) and these fantasies are a very specific way to make this TV show very popular and different to the others shows. Let me take a guess: this show you're talking about was Ally McBeal? I don't think I'd want William to have that many fantasies! (or become such a flake!) ...it's funny when in reality his plan goes awry. Yes. And neither would I. I just wanted to emphasize that "fantasies" are not new in the TV shows and they were a determining factor in the success of Ally McBeal but they used in a very different way. Their purposes/effects were totally different. I agree! It's also cute and touching.

people who, like, me expected a darker, more serious murder mystery show and became intrigued by the quiet humour and very human characters. ...yet eveyone was speaking English!! So those two may have to live-in-their heads a little bit longer until they can be together. Let the fantasies begin!! Higgins is not quite as willing to be George's underling so he sometimes "pushes back" when George gives him orders. They are good buddies and a bit like competative brothers. I have been having trouble getting people in the US to try MM because they assume the style will be like PBS mysteries: the US viewership is not accustomed to the pacing and humor of those. Of course, in the US it's just danged hard to FIND MM under a DIFFERENT NAME on the incredibly obscure Ovation channel. But that's a different story. Anyway, MM is not what people assume it would be from where it falls on their "cognitive map" of the TV universe. English: OMG, when I studied in England, I couldn't understand lectures for a month!!! This baffled me since I understood British English as spoken on PBS and in Shakespeare plays. But live at Oxford it was incomprehensible. D: Regarding the fantasies: I think there is scope for the fantasies to continue even within marriage. Miscommunication and "compartmentalization" can still happen. Fights lead to anticipated resolutions. Encounters can be imagined in advanced. A few nights apart or a sense of things getting too boring might lead to some thoughts on how to spice things up. ...never have the same sort of authority William does. Try to imagine George telling Higgins to put on a dress and shoot a pig. Or dig holes while he leans against a tree and coolly observes. Since I knew MURDOCH MYSTERIES, I met just one person who kew this serie and she didn't know that the fifth season was shot. PBS??? A another "mystery " for me. About english, I started watching TV shows in their original version because -as you already know - patience is not my strong point. But I'm not able to make the difference between american and british words. About the fantasies: it would be plausible. And if that is the case, William is so much awkward than there will be a lot. Detective MURDOCH is very good at delegating unpleasant tasks to the poor George. He does in a natural manner. I love it!

...yet eveyone was speaking English!! The interesting thing to me is how much the Inspector says "Bloody" which is a terrible thing to say in England! I think it was (maybe still is) something akin to the "F bomb". Yes William and Julia's fantasies were something very unique to Murdoch Mysteries, I think. Shows set in present day just have the couple fall in bed together right away....no need for fantasies for them! But now William and Julia are engaged! I have a hunch (feeling) their wedding may not come as soon as we'd like (as in opening scene of Episode 1, S8!!!) although I imagine it WILL happen this season. So those two may have to live-in-their heads a little bit longer until they can be together. Let the fantasies begin!! Oh yes! Crabtree and Higgins are a great duo!! George has Murdoch and the Inspector who are above him and give him assignments, etc. and now, as George gains experience on the job and matures, he has started to do likewise with Higgins. But Higgins is not quite as willing to be George's underling so he sometimes "pushes back" when George gives him orders. They are good buddies and a bit like competative brothers. They have different personalities for sure and each of the characters is great on their own, too. Thank you for this full explanation. I didn't realise that you english speakers could have such difficulties to understand each other. "Bloody" is translated into a french blasphemous swearword which fit the language used at that time and not into something akin to the "F bomb". I know a US TV show sets in present day in which the main character fantasizes about men that she meet. It's older than MURDOCH MYSTERIES. There is not only one kind of fantasies (some of them were pure desires, others were daydreams and there were also hallucinations; they vary depending on the context) and these fantasies are a very specific way to make this TV show very popular and different to the others shows. About MURDOCH MYSTERIES, even if the wedding didn't take place early in the eighth season, they could flirt so I don't see how fantasies could be again introduced. William stopped fantasizing about Julia since her marriage to Darcy. And thank you for the precision in the brackets. It helps me to understand. Good summary!

I'm also a fan of the "mysteries" and that's why I wouldn't not say I want more time to develop relationships to make MM a "soap opera". The balance would be affect. But since the time for relationships is limited, they should be more revelant and more coherent in order to meet all the viewers. I find that most of the mysteries are very interesting and original. All above, I find the character of MURDOCH is very special even unique and I like the way he solves all these mysteries. Yes, I tend to focus on William rather than Julia even in relationship analysis. After all it is "Murdoch Mysteries". By the way, I notice you still have the Bald Baby default avatar. Would you like me to make you one? I take requests. And because of his beautiful eyes? Why not? Have fun!

And what to say about William's fantasies about Julia... I JUST LOVE IT! The staff and the actors made a good work. And now, William and Julia are engaged, they will come true. And I think everyone wants the Writing Team to BRING BACK THE FANTASIES!
How?

"Relegated issues", "unresolved conflicts" and "a row not solving anything" are what for I blame the writters of MURDOCH MYSTERIES. Thank you for bringing me the words which I missed. I agree that these issues do not get a lot of coverage during the show. But people who are primarily a fan of the "mysteries" would argue that too much time is spent on "relationships" already: any more attention to relationships would make MM a "soap opera", and they would march out in a huff, and take some claimed-to-be-huge segment of the audience with them. I'm also a fan of the "mysteries" and that's why I wouldn't not say I want more time to develop relationships to make MM a "soap opera". The balance would be affect. But since the time for relationships is limited, they should be more revelant and more coherent in order to meet all the viewers. I find that most of the mysteries are very interesting and original.

I'm not a particular fan of mysteries as a genre. I'm the same way lovemondays, I'm not a "mysteries" fan at all and for that reason, I avoided Murdoch Mysteries like the plague until one evening last summer when I caught a few minutes of it before I grabbed the remote. What hooked me over the next few days was: (1) Brackenreid's calling Murdoch "old mucker" (my mum's from Yorkshire and I grew up hearing "Who do you think you are - Lady Muck?"---actually, it sounded more like "Mook")---(2) then I had to laugh out loud at some dark humour (Me, Myself and Murdoch) --when Wm was questioning the girl about the murder of her father and she told him she had the devil in her and he said something along the lines of "Do you expect me to believe ' the devil made you do it?' " that was a famous Flip Wilson punchline back in the 60's and was so incredibly out of place in that scenario but made me laugh and (3) the biggest hook of all for me...William's fantasies about Julia. Oddly out of place over bodies in the morgue but hinting of so much more. Three episodes in 3 nights and that was it....I binged all last summer and have never looked back . I watch series which are very different the ones from the others and I think you can say if you will like or not one or other genre of series before watching a few episodes. And sometimes it takes almost nothing to be hooked. For you, hearing "Old mucker" was enough to draw your attention. By the way, it seems to be a typical expression from Yorkshire and I never found a meaning that I could understand. I don't think that it could be translated in French. Can you please try and explain it to me? And what to say about William's fantasies about Julia... I JUST LOVE IT! The staff and the actors made a good work. And now, William and Julia are engaged, they will come true. To finish, what do you think about the CRABTREE/HIGGINS duo? They often made me laugh.

The issues were then relegated to water under the bridge status. That's a lot of unresolved conflict in my books. The only time it bubbled up was during the row they had after William slugged Darcy in the street. It still didn't solve anything. "Relegated issues", "unresolved conflicts" and "a row not solving anything" are what for I blame the writters of MURDOCH MYSTERIES. Thank you for bringing me the words which I missed.
