A Whitechapel Post!
Jul. 26th, 2015 09:07 pm-First of all, thanks to Tania for suggesting I watch this show, because I love both procedurals and historical crime, so this was the perfect combination!
-I can't believe Chandler's team made it through 8 cases without a single perp making it to trial without dying, that is supremely bad luck and I'm so upset the show was cancelled before we could see where (if anywhere) they were going with that plotline. I'm really glad it got acknowledged in-universe, though, because I was just starting to think, "Gosh, these criminals sure are dying at unusually high rates."
-Buchan is my son and the light of my life. (He reminds me of myself, unfortunate crushes and obsession with 19th-century serial killers and all.)
-I loved that medical examiner, Llewelyn. Was she pregnant because the actress was pregnant, or was that a plotline that didn't get resolved? (Also I would like you to know that before I remembered the phrase "medical examiner", I was ready to google "what do you call the cop who does autopsies?")
-I so wish we could have gotten more about Mansell's suicide attempt...I didn't see any fic about it, either. Getting back together with Erica (Erika?) isn't going to completely fix the fact that he's suicidal, and I am concerned about him!
-Creepy immortal old lady was exactly the type of content I want to see in my crime shows, to be honest. I wish we got to see more of that plotline too...
-(Let me know if there's Whitechapel info I'm not aware of, guys, like if we got to hear anything more outside of actual episodes about any of the stuff I'm complaining about.) (Ahhh does that sentence even make sense?)
-I have so many epic fics to finish, but someday I will write the epic Whitechapel post-series 4 fic where all of the supernatural plotlines get resolved. Why is everything happening in Whitechapel? Who is the lady in red? Is it the supernatural shit that's making everyone's mental health issues act up? (Spoiler alert: the answer to that last question is no. I love the way canon portrayed mental illness, but/and I do think the character might attribute their problems to supernatural stuff for a while.)
-I really want to send Chandler to therapy. Maybe I'm just projecting because I screwed myself over by not admitting I needed therapy for a long time, but I want this fic.
-EDIT: I forgot to mention three of the characters? This is what I get for posting after a 7-hour shift.
-Miles is great and his friendship with Chandler is great and I want all the fic of himforcing inviting Chandler to spend time with his family/children.
-I love Riley so much as well, and I wish we'd gotten to meet her children/spouse in canon. (Does she canonically have a husband, or am I free to assume she has a wife?)
-Kent is adorable and so smitten with Chandler. I can't believe his first (semi-)confession of his feelings got ruined by a bus full of cannibalistic cult members crashing. Rotten luck, Kent.
