I agree with you.

I mention the cave scenes with the hope that people will at least read the last chapter of the book. It's a great read.

I don't mind the cable presentation but I prefer the book presentation because they escape to France and wind up at the monastery where one of Jamie's relatives is a priest. By the time that they get to the monastery, Claire has already operated on Jamie's hand and that ring branding had already been cut off Jamie's…

I miss the cave scenes from the book because during the cave sex where Claire and Jamie reestablish their spiritual connections and it's on the cave step while leaving the cave where Jamie tells Claire that he knows that she is pregnant. She tells him that she has a gift for him and he says, have you now, while…

I watched much of this episode with my eyes closed but it did not help. I know what happens because I've read the book, many times.

SPOILER ALERT

in Jaime's era, swiving = fucking

I suspend belief to a certain extent when I read fiction - - years ago when I first started reading the Outlander series, I realized that stepping into to that era's realities meant not being judgmental based up my 20th/21st century world-view

in the episode where Jaime pledged that he would never strike her again, she did not immediately respond to him when he asked if she still wanted him - - in this episode, she chooses Jaimie over Frank and it's a major turning point for their love for each other

in the book, when Claire returned to Jaimie from the standing stones, he had dried tears on his face: I love that reunion passage

I thought that 'Claire' had a real, toes curling orgasm!

at a minimum, the Ricktator group would have been somewhat on alert about Gabriel - - somewhat because, with everything going on, they didn't have a person to keep constant surveillance on Gabriel and they would not have been blind-sided when Deanna made a presentation that indicated that she accepted what Gabriel…

Ever wonder what would have happened if Maggie had told the Ricktator group about the information that Gabriel presented to Deanna BEFORE Gabriel "inadvertently" left that gate open?

I'm much more afraid of the damage caused by Gabriel than I am of the fall out from Rick's fight and rant

like Sasha, I'm creeped out by the 'safety' offered in the Alexandria enclave because people worry about what's served for a special dinner which obviously is not high on Sasha's list of worries AND I refuse to discount that her personal losses has on her - - when one is in the midst of an on-going war with constant…

I like Daryl's and Carol's responses to what appears to be nirvana in apocalyptic chaos. Even better, I like Rick's 'we'll just take this place' because something is wrong/missing with these people. They are worse than soft.

This is an episode about a good man deciding to die, because death is, ultimately, a hell of a lot easier than living.

I vote for dumb ass - - there must be a stack of bibles in the four walls with a roof functioning as a church

where is Gabriel going? or, is he just out for a stroll because he's tired of being indoors

I like reading apocalyptic fiction. It's all a metaphor for our global perspectives. In the real world, we see people in denial concerning events that are up close and personal. If we who live in the US have a total collapse for whatever reasons, our growth or stunted understandings under the circumstances would…
