It’s kind of ironic that the episode about the biggest Jacobite victory is one of the most depressing and bleak. But it had some great character moments!

So. Gutted.

Did you also train him (?) to sniff out trouble?

A+ for the costumes, as usual! I really liked Jamie’s embroidered waistcoat and grey coat combo. Cait can wear the hell out of anything.

Well...it is memorable.

Yes, they were still able to sell the sexytimes, which indicates both their chemistry and their acting abilities.

And “forest” ?? I can’t imagine what Heughan thought when he first realized he had to say those things, out loud, on film.

The writing in the bedroom scene after Claire got waxed was PAINFUL.

I loved that when Jamie was hugging Annalise, the first thing Murtagh did was look at Claire.

This episode was downright funny! Also lavish and beautiful. But I can’t decide if the best moment was the awkward ex introduction, which held a secondary nonverbal conversation just as entertaining as the verbal one, or Jamie tossing Duverney into the river without a second thought. Anybody else have a favorite?

Yay it’s back! I like the way they started the season. Gives everyone a little somethin’ since it’s not like the books.

Well, I don’t want to steer you wrong.

Maybe you’re more forgiving of mi-steaks?

I don’t know, I think they were really milking their screen time.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - Lotte Verbeek MADE the witch trial episode.

I do that all the time with Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black. And she does it for a lot more than just two characters!

That Claire reaction gif is right up there with the “that’s what she said” moment.

Just a heartbreaking, astounding piece of television. My thoughts on the episode (and on season 1 overall) are here: http://observationdeck.kinja.com/no-this-is-out…
