Treatment of opera records in S1 E2

Like the show very much. Shaun has done his own profiling of "Morse" to bring his mannerisms into play so we recognize the older gentleman in the younger.

So far it's excellent. I'd go so much as to give it in the nines for IMDb ratings for detail, execution, plot building, wardrobe, casting, directing, soundtrack, locations, all of it. With one exception of Endeavor slamming his record player while playing because something came to him. I know it was for drama but I also think he'd cherish his prized Classical and opera LPs. Now how could they have made this 'ah ha' moment without how they did it?

Okay, didn't get any responses.

So do you think they'll take this show well along so we see how Inspector Morse came to be so terse, curt, and down-right abusive to Lewis? Do you think we'll meet Inspector Lewis in Endeavor? And will we ever know why he never uses, nor wants to, his name in Inspector Lewis? And will we ever find out who damaged him from finding or 'hesitating' to approach another romantic relationship / involvement as Inspector Morse?

I thought exactly the same thing about the treatment of the records !!! But then I wondered if it was just highlighting that he had a different temperament as a youth - with age comes wisdom kinda thing ...... I love that strange is a pc in endeavour but then becomes his boss way down the line :-)

That's right, hazedobson, details matter.

i don't think Lewis will come into Endeavour. i don't suppose he became Morse's sergeant until years after the time of Endeavour - probably not until the 1980s, and i don't think they will keep Endeavour going that long.

Morae still seems to be quite romantic in jnspector Morse - despite being generally unlucky in love, he seems to be willing to take the plunge from time to time, though it never seems to last.

i have never really understood the name thing - there is no law against changing your name if you don't like it.

It takes time, lots of time for things to become cherished. I treat my vinyl records now with pride and care as some are very expensive. However back in the day when I was a teen and into my 20s they were just run of the mill and I am sure I must have left them on the floor or even used one or two as coasters. Something I would never ever do now even to a £1 find in a second hand store.
My originals are mostly tattered, scuffed and hardly pristine.

Read the books and watch Morse and the answers to your second point will be revealed. Morse is already ruined, he just doesn't know it yet.

Wendy Susan is the answer you are looking for....
