I have been obsessed with Blurtlander for weeks! So glad other people are too!

Get'em young and train'em. A rule for life.

I feel like this is something that should be provided for you. You know. For work, and... science?

Seems like you could justify butt-photo taking as a business expense, right? Get a new TV and write it off your taxes!

That comes later when she convinces them to plant potatoes...

LOL. Actually, not sure if they put it this way in the episode but in the books, Jamie thinks you do it from behind because he grew up around so many animals.

My assistant is friends with Sam Heughan. As I was sneaking in peaks at Outlander recaps today (including that Vulture post) it was all I could do not to be like, "so you know your friend's sex face is all over the internet today right?" Just didn't seem appropriate. That face though. . .

What followed was one of the few sex scenes I've ever seen that felt like it wasn't written explicitly for men. GAZE, LADIES, GAZE.

Actually, in the insider podcast Ronald D. Moore and his wife (the costume designer, Terry Dresbach!) do, he said that shot wasn't a VFX shot, and it just happened that way! And also, that the shot of the ring going between the floorboards just happened that way too! Who knows if that's true, but I don't see why he…

Okay I JUST finished this episode and I don't even smoke but I think I need a cigarette or something GODDAMN.

Aw, I love the way you put that last sentence. :) So true.

On Ron Moore's podcast for this episode, they said that the reflection was not special effects, just serendipity (like the wind rising when they were filming Claire near the stones).

Me too! I was always really curious about how Frank fared while Claire was gone.

SHERRY BROWN DRESS

I'm totally down with all the changes they're making to Frank's world in this show. For one, I thought it was odd that the church was the same one she married Frank in. What? Why would Frank and Claire get married in a random ass church in the Highlands and not somewhere in England? The spontaneous city hall deal…

This is a good bit of analysis!

Takes deep breath

better than cheese and whiskey

It's coming!

I just really have to hand it to Caitriona Balfe. I am truly convinced that Claire loves Frank and Jamie, and I really wasn't in the book (of course, I couldn't have cared less about it, either, because HOT JAMIE!).
