#Inspector Brackenreid

Brackenreid has literally so many kids my god, there are his actual three biological kids, and then there's Higgins, Crabtree, Watts and Mrs. Hart, at LEAST

I love this scene because I feel like half of these could be used as some very good reaction gifs.

can please someone help me find a specific episode of murdoch mysteries. I remember Brackenreid living in an apartment for a while after he had a fight with Margaret. He is also visited by another woman. i think she's a recurring character but i cant remember her name...

Thomas Craig and Sarah Strange in Murdoch Mysteries (2008) Mild Mild West

S2E1

While attending Buffalo Bill Cody's Western Extravaganza, Det. Murdoch, Insp. Brackenreid, Constable Crabtree and Dr. Ogden witness a killing when a stunt apparently goes bad. The stunt involved one legendary wild west gunman shooting the other who catches the bullet in his teeth. It's all trickery of course and he's not supposed to be shot for real. Murdoch determines that the man was actually shot by someone with a rifle. When the second member of the stunt team is also killed, Murdoch starts looking into their past to find a solution to the crime. A horse hair provides the vital clue. Insp. Brackenreid's wife has joined the temperance league and he has promised to give up drink. An encounter with the flirtatious Annie Oakley puts an end to that.

*McRawlins is said to make "only $40 a week" - more than five times what Murdoch is said to make in the third episode.

Inspector Brackenreid’s inconsistent homophobia confuses the shit out of me. But whatever! on to season 14.

Thomas Brackenreid, I swear to god, if you leave the station house, I will brutally murder you in like five fics, those are your CHILDREN there at the station house, you cannot go out to get milk on them, I refuse to allow this

The way Murdoch sounded so surprised when Choi asked about the science behind his UV light… 😭 an inspector who actually cares about the science behind his inventions and actively wants to know more?? He deserves this so muchhhh

Margaret Brackenreid: An appreciation

Margaret Brackenreid. Social climbing wife of a police inspector. Met her husband when he was arresting her. Used to cuss until she cared what people thought. Has been arrested multiple times, at least once for gambling. Does not believe that she needs the vote herself because she controls her husband's. Went so hard with the temperance movement for a while that she hosted Carry Nation in her home. (No longer abstains.) Learned to cook a bunch of Chinese dishes because she thought they were neat. Started and ran her own wedding planning business. Did not hesitate to cheat in order to win a cooking contest to become the face of a tinned meat company. Frightened the crap out of some neighbourhood hooligans by jump-scaring them dressed as a witch on Halloween. Fiercely protective of her sons. So traumatized by hearing her older son had a tryst with a married woman that she fainted and then blocked out the matter entirely. Took a bullet for her younger son. Accepted her husband's mixed-race, born-out-of-wedlock daughter as her own family. Has gaydar and demanded that her husband support gay rights. Now works outside the home as a nurse. Canonically psychic. I love her.

The way Inspector Brackenreid protects his men is just insane, like I respect him so much for that

[crabtreee]

so every season or so, brackenreid vacates his role as inspector leaving some poor hopeful at station house 4 to take over. but no worries! you can count on him to make a comeback within a couple episodes next season- ready to swoop in and reclaim the title. the ultimate tease.

[johnsspacesuittight]

Watts talking to Brackenreid about romance problems is actually everything to me, like basically everyone major knows about him, and yet he chooses the Inspector, whom in some ways is perhaps the most uncomfortable with it, and yet of course he's so sweet and gives advice I can't

Season 18 episode 4, watched!

Again, not a lot to say about it. I love the little gag going on with inspector choi trying to acquire one of watts' plants. It was cute. The murdoch, watts, choi trio already feels so natural. The actors work great together.

It was interesting to watch choi's interrogation room dynamic some more and the contrast with Brackenreid's more physical threat.

And finally, not surprised that for all his growth, thomas brackenreid is a nimby, and always delighted to see Margaret remain a reasonable, open-minded person despite her original apprehensions. I love her.

I think the murdoch mysteries folks are doing a great job in keeping the show fresh when I (and I think a few people) worried that it was going to run out of steam.

"People kill for all kinds of reasons, Tom. But this, most certainly, is *not* a matter of national security."

Terrence Meyers, that is, Lyle Henderson (Peter Keleghan) as he’s known in his civilian life, uttering words Brackenreid (Thomas Craig) and Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) most certainly, never, in a million years, expected to hear him say, on Murdoch Knows Best [S15E08]!!

Brackenreid: I'm at a loss for words! Henry: Despite being ‘at a loss for words’, Inspector Brackenreid yelled at me for the next 45 minutes.
