I'm happy that there is more time-travel content with Roger and Brianna's story, but I kind of scoffed at the idea of a Lord John and Claire hookup. I understand that people grieve differently; however, this just did not ring true to me at all. The morning-after conversation was cute though. I did like Lord John's rather bitter reply to Claire when she accused him of being a bigot, telling her that he understood only too well what kind of life it was to hide your love, and did not want that for his nephew. Glad to see Jamie back, hale and hearty. Next week should be interesting.

Oh how I've enjoyed this show. Sad that they only got 3.5 seasons, but last season was some of the best writing and acting I've seen on a CW show. The finale was satisfying to me, I kind of like seeing how everyone went on after they beat Luthor. Really enjoyed seeing David Guintoli show up. Fare well, Superman and Lois. You had some of the best theme music for any show on TV today. Thanks for being so good.

I loved this. Just so well done, and filmed. I hope there is another season because I want to learn more about many of the characters.

So, I've been enjoying this season of Murdoch much more than last season, but I'm still missing a lot of the regular characters. The old days had everyone on hand to be involved in the stories. One question: At the end of the latest episode, Murdoch looks at a ticket(?) or telegram with White Star on it. Is he sailing to London, or are Julia and the baby (can't think of her name) coming to visit him in Toronto?

I enjoy Dag, I think she's grasping for some power. Her observations can be very witty, if not the most helpful to her boss. It took me awhile to place the actress who plays Dag, Lolly Adefope, but she's funny as the naive young ghost in the British version of Ghosts.

I wanted to like this so much, but I had issues with it from the start, the same as I did with the book, sadly. I loathe people who put themselves in danger just to prove themselves right. Judith rubbed me the wrong way, pushing in where she had no authority, and then acting surprised by the consequences. It's not like she tried to go through proper authorities first and then determined she needed to strike out on her own. What kind of a moron determines she's next in line to be murdered and doesn't ask the police to help her? It's not like she was concerned the murderer was on the police force. I hated that. Judith is so brilliant that she sets herself up like that? No, just no. And she continued to not play fair, even when the police detective made her a consultant. Ugh. What I did enjoy was seeing the beautiful village and scenery. Let's hope season 2 provides more character development. This was a very well-lit series and I would watch a second season for the cinematography.

Laughed for 15 minutes over one of the set ups. This is awesome!

I've caught up on this show and I love it. Really funny! Anybody else watching?

Well, between seasons 1 and 2, not much time elapsed, as Bunny was killed after they solved Tim Kono's murder, and they jumped right back into podcast mode. Between seasons 2 and 3, there was a year; I even think it says that at the end of season 2 because Oliver has been directing a play and getting it ready for Broadway, and Mabel has been finishing her aunt's apartment. Between seasons 3 and 4, again, not much time because Sazz is killed during the opening night party, and the trio jumps right back into podcast mode again. I would guess a total of 2.5 to 3 years. Others may calculate it differently. But Helga told the trio that she and Sazz had been communicating by ham radio. So there is that connection, where Sazz could have known about the rental scam and Dudenoff. But I agree, the show didn't emphasize that.

Jan told Charles she didn't poison Winnie. And there were two notes, one on Oliver's door and one on Jan's. While she might have lied about poisoning Winnie (the way it was done leads me to believe she wasn't), there was no reason for her to put a note on her door. There was no payoff for her. I still see it as a plot hole, something indicating there was someone other than who we've seen watching the trio.

Sazz told Marshall she was going to NYC to talk to Charles about the script and movie, so he booked a red eye to try and get there ahead of her. He was set up to take the shot at her when he saw her in the courtyard, but he pulled back, arguing with himself, "I'm a writer, not a killer, I'm a writer, not a killer ..." until he finally resolved himself to be a killer, and then saw her come into Charles' apartment and took the shot. I guess he figured she'd be coming to Charles' place to discuss the movie with him, and he could take her out before she got the chance. It wasn't until he saw she was still moving that he went over to make sure she was dead. I guess the show figured we didn't need to see him put her in the trash chute or the incinerator.

That's a good point, but I think the theory that Loretta might be next started before the season aired. The show does rely on a lot of meta moments for comedy, and so much of it reflects what forums and discussion groups are saying, it seems likely to me that the writers would mine it for content.

I loved how the writers were playing with us by bringing up Loretta as the next possible victim at the beginning of the episode. Hilarious! They must read all the theories that people put out there. So Lester was not the mastermind behind the spying on the trio. Poor Lester, I'll miss him.

First time ever! 🔍 I didn't have a clue in seasons 1, 2, and 3. I suspected Marshall because of the actor. He's successful but not as well known, as some of the other guest stars on the show this season. The script part, though, was a tough one.

Well, there was a twist but not the one we were thinking of, at least I wasn't. I really enjoyed this season, see you all next season!

So, who is staying up late to watch this episode after it drops at midnight (ET)?

All very good points. The Tim Kono angle occurred to me, too. And, as Yeah No pointed out, we saw Marshall (or someone that looks like him) put the pillow over Glen's face, but we didn't see a flashback to him shooting Sazz. This season's recurring theme has been doubles, or twins, so I agree that there is room for the last episode to go anywhere. I kind of hope that Marshall is not the killer, because I have imposter syndrome as well (as do most people) and I sympathized with him in that episode. Plus, I love the actor playing Marshall. But, the show's pattern has not been to have that big of a twist in the last episode. Maybe they'll be different this time.

Sazz was killed the night before they got the texts about the movie, so she had been figuring things out for a while before her murder. Marshall (or Rex) had to have submitted the script long before Sazz's murder. The movie was at the start filming stage when Sazz was killed. Somehow, the killer found out she was going to tell Charles a secret and knew she had to be silenced. The cameras in the trio's apartments would have given whoever installed them intel about what was happening. Maybe they overheard Sazz telling Charles she needed to talk with him about the "sensitive" matter. If I think too hard about this, my brain hurts. 🤔🧠🤯

For all those hoping for a big twist in the final episode, that hasn't been the show's pattern (except for season 2). The killer is revealed in episode 9, and then episode 10 is usually the season's denouement and set-up for the next season. But like many of you, I would love it if there is a final twist worthy of all of our fabulous theories about what is going on. (Still disappointed there wasn't a fabulous twist at the end of season 3.) While I thought Marshall was the killer from the moment he first appeared, I never thought it was over the script for the movie. Exactly when he stole the script and submitted it as his own, I'm not sure, but it had to be a while before our trio went to Hollywood to meet with Bev. They were surprised to see how far along the movie was when they got there. Heck, it had even been cast. I doubt that everything will be resolved satisfactorily, but put me in as hoping that Loretta is involved. Ha! One other theory. I have some suspicions about Helga. She's a locksmith, which would make it easier for her to access the trio's apartments. Why she would direct them to look at the stunt person from Ronconkoma, I don't know. Maybe she's working on something else, but I think she's involved more. Maybe.

Sazz arrived at the opening night party in the last episode of Season 3 with that box of beer. She left it at Oliver's place because she never came back from Charles' place, where she went to get the wine. I guess she had the script in there and was going to tell Charles about it. The trio took it to the hospital to try to wake Glen Stubbins from his coma with the aroma of beer. When they got back to Oliver's apartment, Oliver mentioned that he didn't want it, so Mabel took it. That's why it was in her refrigerator in the studio apartment where she's been squatting.

👏 👏 👏 I really enjoyed this episode. I never thought we were going to see Ron Howard, but at last, one of Oliver's stories proves to be true. While I suspected Marshall P. Pope from the first episode, the "why" was more difficult to figure out. This episode clears up who the shooter was after. I think. Because Marshall had every reason to kill Sazz but not Charles. As others have guessed before me, the resolution of other plot holes will probably come in a later season. At least Glen is freed from seeing rats. RIP Glen Stubbins. 💔 Now all that has to happen is the wedding.

Loved that line! 🤣

Oh, sorry, I should have referenced Milburn Stone's hope for no more seasons. Plus, I thought the reference was for next season as last season, but maybe what was meant things will not be completely resolved until the last season, whenever that is. 🤔

Are we certain that Season 5 is the last season? I don't think so.

And I absolutely hate her books, but they are very popular.
