Round 3 poll 2: Honoka Yukishiro from Futari wa Pretty cure vs Dr Elizabeth "mac" Macmillan from Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries

Entry propaganda:

Honoka Yukishiro

- She's the leader of her school's science club - loves doing silly chem experiments - Being a magical girl is a big experiment to her, she doesnt even fear death because its "interesting" - SHE IS SO GAY AND IN LOVE WITH HER BEST FRIEND/PRECURE PARTNER NAGISA OMG PLZ

she’s the president of her school’s science club, will go on scientific tangents that her girlfriend doesn’t understand fully but will still nod along to, and is also a badass magical girl who invented handholding with her girlfriend.

Dr Elizabeth "Mac" Macmillan

Gorgeous and really awesome. She's a doctor and a coroner, but knows enough chemistry to do various other experiments. And yes, she's canonically a lesbian 💕. I love her a lot and my tired 4am head can't do her justice.

A scene that never fails to make me laugh is in Season 2 Episode 3 ‘Dead Man’s Chest’ when Cec and Bert are delivering the bootleg liquor to the station, and Bert is absolutely plastered after been given his own bottle of liquor.

I could watch it again and again, from Bert’s stumbling and slurring, Cec absolutely done by him, Hugh’s disbelief, the extra in the back trying to look over the counter.

Perfection.

For everyone looking for something to watch after finishing Goncharov for the millionth time I would recommend Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries

SPECIAL ROUND 1

Hello all! Before the bracket gets running up, I have a surprise for you all.

As some of you have pointed out, Hank Schrader (Breaking Bad) is more a DEA agent than a detective. While I think that he fits the detective archetype given that he spends most of the show trying to find Heisenberg, I do have to agree that there are other detectives that are probably better fit. And so... I bring you... A FIVE WAY POLL!

From (most) of the remaining suggestions in the original poll, I have created a 5 way poll to either keep Hank, or replace him with someone else entirely!

The winner will take Hank's spot in Loser's Bracket.

Phryne Fisher isn’t all that goth but I think she would be good friends with Morticia Addams.

a day may come when I don't cry at the penultimate scene of "Death and Hysteria," but it is not this day

I have rewatched Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries too many times now. I could recite the script. It’s my comfort show.

I am rewatching it currently, something in the background while I crochet. I don’t need to actually watch it, I’ve seen it that many times.

Right now, I’m watching the second last episode of the first season, Murder in the Dark, and something bothers me each time I watch the episode.

*Spoilers for the episode below the line*

Why does Herbert Brown lie in his alibi?

From the timeline I gathered, Herbert found Guy and his (Herbert’s) daughter in an intimate position. When Herbert explodes, dragging Marigold away, Guy bribes Herbert with expensive drink, and the situation is, apparently, somewhat resolved. We don’t know what happens after that, but we do know that Herbert uses that situation to blackmail Guy the following day into giving him an alibi.

Guy was with Isabella the whole morning, never once going near the stables.

So why would Herbert need Guy as an alibi? Yes, sure, Herbert would be seen as a suspect. But, he would’ve been cleared once Dot continued to push to find out what happened to Murdoch Foyle.

It’s been made obvious that Murdoch Foyle was the one to kill Marigold. It’s a whole ploy to toy with Phryne, and Arthur once again witnessed a good portion of the crime.

So why did Herbert need an alibi?

Did Foyle sidle up to him at some point in the night, after Marigold and Guy were discovered, and offer some sort of solution? Did Herbert, in a drunken and angry stupor, allow Foyle to kill his daughter? Did Herbert have in anyway anything to do with her death?

It’s just a loose end that constantly bothers me when I watch this episode. Much like the box in Murder Most Scandalous, where it seemed to play a big role, but then disappeared and never showed up. Unless I’ve missed something. Anyway, just my bothered thoughts.
