Regarding Murphy's timeline i've always been a bit bothered by it...For one thing, she's a teenager with a very protective mother (BR..She had to sneak out of the house to attend her senior prom) but she's allowed to marry a man 13 years older than she is? does that amek sense to anyone? I mean for one thing that would mean that a thirty year old was dating a seventeen year old..Where I come from that is called statutory rape (Well, it is if you actually do anything..otherwise it's just plain icky..).
Second, and more importantly, Murph is a LT. at the time of SF (and has been so for some time based on the vigenette) which means she acheived her rank at the ripe old age of no more than 27...Let me get this straight..She;s a young beat cop when she meets Harry and helps save Hope and four or five years later she's a LT.? Does anyone see what is wrong with this? No one gets to be an LT. in a large police force without gaining seniority and there's no way she'd have enough of that at 25-27. Give her another four or five years and yeah, it works, but as it stands,she just too young for her rank..Also, she's too young to have the experience which is alluded to during the series..Just when did she have the time to move up the ranks from beat cop to corporal to sargent to Lt plus work homicide sufficently to become proficient at such an investigation?
All this while being married and divorced twice to men ten or more years older than her....All of this in a scant 10 to twelve years? No way!!!
