My Murder Call Blog

I'm obsessed with this Australia show that has a fandom the size of a fish bowl

When Tessa and Dee call Steve ‘Hay’ 

[mymurdercallblog]

Tessa, her head freshly stitched up, probably with a concussion: -and then we can check out that lead, and then-

Steve Hayden, who’s been putting up with this for far too long: for the love of god will you stop

[mymurdercallblog]

Malcom and Steve: Say Tessa was wrong

Fisk: go to hell

[mymurdercallblog]

Steve: hmm, what would you pack in your suitcase?

Tessa Vance, who gently cradled her well loved teddy bear before placing it in the day prior: i would pack nothing what are you talking about

[mymurdercallblog]

Steve was the dinosaur kid and Tessa was the kid into science

Episode 3:

Imogen, looking at Steve’s x-ray: It’s a nice change to get a live one. It’s like a preview!

Fisk, looking over her shoulder: Yes, he’s definitely near the end

Dee and Tessa, laughing:

Steve to the barkeeper: aspirin, please

[mymurdercallblog]

Dee is Autistic and Tessa has ADHD I don’t make the rules : )

[mymurdercallblog]

Tessa realizing ‘i have no will. I deal with murder every day and i have no will’ and her immediate response to rectify that is to bequeath her goldfish to Steve in the event of her death

and Steve just goes with it like he takes a bow and everything eeehhh they’re such nerds

[mymurdercallblog]

Character And Continuitie Details I Love:

-Dee whips everyone at pool

-Steve’s love of home improvement projects (and lack of follow through of them)

-When looking at a victim- particular one with a throat injury-, Tessa often clutches her neck

-Fisk being the only one who doesn’t call Imogen Tootsie yet giving her so many other nicknames (my favorite being Ice Queen)

-Everyone pokes fun at Steve

-everyone (Mostly Fisk) has no patience for Steve

-Malcom calling Tessa her father’s daughter and sounding as if not even he knows whether its a compliment or an insult

-Tessa prefering mineral water to alcohol 

-Tessa’s love of her goldfish

-Steve bringing up Tessa’s love of solo activities, ‘such as rock climbing’

-Steve complaining about Tessa’s 2 AM phone calls

-Steve reluctantly accepting that if he gets a phone call at 2 AM, it’s Tessa

[mymurdercallblog]

Malcom’s criticisms of Tessa and warnings to Steve to reel her in aren’t so much because she’s a woman but because Tessa is her father’s daughter ie: she’s as obsessive and unpredictable as he was

[mymurdercallblog]

Important note: Aside from socially drinking white wine, Tessa prefers mineral water

[mymurdercallblog]

The more i think about, the more plausible it is that Murder Call preceded and maybe inspired Bones.

A team consisting of 

-pathologists (Tootise and Cam)

-etymologist (Fisk and Hodgins)

-photographer (Angela and Dee)

-logical mind, not too great with people (Tessa and Brennan)

-regular Catholic guy, just trying to keep his partner alive (Steve and Booth)

Also: Lance being called ‘Lancelot’ (Fisk and Sweets)

[mymurdercallblog]

Fisk: The victims were dismembered and sacrificed on an alter of antlers

Dee: Dear god

Fisk: Most likely, yes

[mymurdercallblog]

Tessa’s packing that suit case to prove what the victim would take and shoving her Teddy Bear in : )

[mymurdercallblog]

but Steve going through this thing of thinking nothing gets to Tessa and then seeing her mourn Poppy like i needed more on that : (

[mymurdercallblog]

Is ‘girly’ some Australian thing or do all middle aged men just have the same reaction to meeting Tessa Vance?
