I am ALL about the beards on this show. Sorry clean shaven Jamie, I've heard some people early on in the show implying he was styled that way to make him more attractive to modern viewers but I say the beards are where it's at for me. And Dougal's mustache.

My guess is it's enjoyed by people who somehow never figured out how to get any other written erotica? Maybe they can't use the internet, I don't know. I came across a blog with chapter to chapter reactions and quotes from the book, but here's the amazing thing, the quotes she uses really don't do justice to the…

Oddly, it's actually The Hound who is the walking Scottish oats commercial. I mean literally the actor did a commercial. It's on youtube somewhere.

Dougal's face and body language during those scenes were so amazing. You felt both terrible for him and proud of him, and you understood his gruff demeanor a bit more.

Jamie's the most classically handsome I guess, but I don't find all the other men on the show ugly or anything. I realize some people may only find Jamie attractive, but to me Murtaugh in his own way is quite the babe, and Dougal is a very handsome older man. But maybe I have different tastes than most people.

Well, everyone is going to great lengths to save Jamie, too. By hiding him at the castle, by helping him stay away from the oath-taking ceremony. Dougal did not want to leave Jamie behind to die when he was injured even though Jamie could be a potential threat to him. And Claire goes to great lengths to save a…

I get that the pacing isn't going to be a fit for everybody, and that different people have different tastes in shows, but why would you call this 'female fantasy popcorn' while GOT is apparently not 'fantasy popcorn'?

I actually thought he was going to cut the man's throat at least a little right then. I don't dislike Menzies as Frank (even though I don't think Frank is the most captivating character, with what he was given to work with I'm not sure what else Menzies could do to make us like Frank more) I'm sure he got the role…

Murtagh would so be a wingman if he could, and seems like such a quietly cool guy.

I'm glad I'm not alone in connecting the two. I couldn't help but wonder what Dougal and the other MacKenzies would think of the current situation in Scotland.

I read some of it for lols at the insistence of a friend who shares my love of badfic but even I could not stomach it, and I read Twilight. There is a running bit with her 'inner goddess' that is more annoying than I can even explain. This may have started out as fanfiction, but let me assure you, there is plenty of…

Bored? I would go even further than the reviewer and give this episode a straight A. I loved the slow tension, the meandering build up that gained intensity with each turn and twist. There was not one bad or even mediocre performance, the background was beautiful but everything was trusted entirely to the actors. No…

To me he even sounded a bit proud.

I like how we're all hearing different things. Clearly it wasn't an easy sentence to follow.

TV Dougal does have something about him and McTavish is doing great work, but I found myself reflecting during this episode that perhaps because of that magnetism it feels a bit like I'm watching the Claire and Dougal Show, which is not quite what I was expecting, although to be clear I do like it.

That would make more sense, though I heard 'a' woman. I guess it's subtitles time? I haven't needed them so far but there's a few stray words I miss.

This episode had me wondering if I would be referring to Frank as Exposition Frank in my head soon.

True but it's kind of because the men seem to be hate-stalking them? The women had to band together. However I did think it was a great scene, and it highlighted how thoroughly Claire has been immersed in the world of men and how far she is from the position of a typical woman in that time.

That was kind of sad to me too. In another universe there's a hidden odd couple buddy comedy in there somewhere.

Yes, I actually enjoyed this episode too. I wish all the people posting the HURR DURR LADY FANTASY ROMANCE GIRL COOTIES crap I see posted other places from time to time could be forced to watch all of the piss sequence. Romantic about the period it is not. I thought it was excellent at highlighting the constant danger…
