A viewer paying the slightest attention to the timeline of "Murdoch Mysteries" would be aware that the current season is situated not in the late 1800s, as was Season 1, but in the years leading up to the Great War --I would guess about 1911-1912 by this point. I thought that this episode was, in the best "Murdoch" tradition, both an enjoyable mystery story and a dig at our contemporary society and mores. Instead of the World Wide Web, we have the PPP; as a nod to the future Facebook, we have Face Space; we even have amusing allusions to the memes of present-day social media, viz. Inspector Brackenreid's delight at the equivalent of cat videos. Maybe it needs to be pointed out as well that, at the episode's end, Pendrick abandons his new technology, leaving it to be reimagined at a much later date. Part of the charm of this series is the way it reflects its period and also ties in with our own; perhaps it would be sensible not to insist on a literal depiction of the era the show is set in...
