[MILD BOOK SPOILERS}

I posted this up-thread, but knew I couldn't be the only one who saw this. He's even doofus-y like Steve Holt!.

Ehh, it's pretty hard to get a popped lens back in without one of those little teeny screwdrivers.

He looks like Steve Holt. I'm going to think of him as Louisiana Steve Holt for the rest of the season.

I had lagged in my interest for Survivor for a while, but finding the AVC reviews and commenter community a few seasons back revived it. Thanks guys. (I probably should post this sentiment in the Survivor reviews, I guess).

I'm around the same age, and remember having the movie on VHS and watching it twice a day for a while there. I was a sucker for anything history-themed (didn't end up specializing in the Middle Ages, though).

So…..what was the bit with the key that Jamie had made into Claire's wedding ring? That's a departure from the book (she just gets a regular ring) and I'm wondering what the key key signifies? (plus, wouldn't an iron ring rust pretty quick?)

I've never liked the banishment of the series to the "romance" category. Every romance novel I've ever read ends shortly after the partners realize they're in love. The Outlander series has the protagonists figure this out (SPOILERS) early on, and the rest of the 7.5 books are about marriage, not courtship, with a…

Unless the SO is sniggering and giggling and saying "boobies" in a baby voice every time there are boobs on screen, just to fuck with you, because he claims this show is terrible, yet can't seem to leave the room when it's on. (To be fair, I kind of did the same thing to him with Spartacus, so fair's fair).

You can have Whedon as long as you've actually tried to watch Buffy and Angel.

I think that you're right. You keep looking for stuff as great as Call and especially Gus, and nothing measures up.

Many many people who know me in real life would agree with you.

I have never been a Springsteen fan, but his album of Pete Seeger covers was on heavy rotation on my music player for a while.

Actually, I did make it through the sequels to Lonesome Dove, even though they weren't even close to LD for me. And Mox Mox is fucking terrifying. He's a "thing" in our house too.

I never said it was his only hit; it's the only one that I enjoyed. And enjoyed immensely — it's a book I go back to every couple of years. Don't know why I liked it so much yet couldn't find any way to like the others (I tried Picture Show, Terms, and one other I can't remember, and then stopped buying his books).…

"If it were you, we'd never leave" — stuck with me like no other line from the show. Even in the midst of their strained relationship, having that fierce statement of parental devotion….excuse me, it's dusty in here.

He's brusque! He's angry! He smokes! What's not to love? (I'm serious).

I never heard of Corey Stoll till this review. In fact, I've already forgotten him.

I wish I understood why this made me laugh so hard.

Much of this episode was either created whole-cloth (the dinner with the English soldiers), or based on a book scene but with heavy alterations (Claire and Randall). At this point I'm feeling very good about Moore and Co's ability and willingness to truly adapt the source material. They were smart enough to keep the…
