It's based on a series of novels written by a woman. The show follows the plot of the books pretty closely.

I think it’s a reasonable assumption that Diana Gabaldon has a rape fetish.

The sooner the culture stops paying attention to Tommy Wiseau, the better. He accidentally made something entertaining through sheer assholery and incompetence, and he’s in on the joke now. How long does he get to coast on that goodwill?

The way the show deals with slavery and indigenous people is really miserable, and one of its biggest problems. Jocasta being portrayed so positively and sympathetically just doesn’t work. Ulysses’s entire character arc is just him being obedient to his mistress and getting rewarded for it. Kayla isn’t inventing these…

Hey everyone, it’s Bob and David.

I liked this episode a lot, I loved how much it tied the events since Jamie and Claire shipwrecked in America with the previous three seasons, as they both sometimes feel like two entirely different shows. But there were a few patently bizarre moments, Claire showing Jamie the sperm he had shot into her under a…

No, Brianna did not have Moby-Dick memorized. She’s retelling a vague outline of events from the novel, but her words are not those that Melville wrote. His prose was far more poetic and less dinner theater.

I think Bonnet is mistaking his desire for control over Jemmy for love. Because the scenarios he describes and fantasizes about are not of family and affection but of ownership.

I’m very happy that the Bonnet saga is at an end, because it means the last plot thread from season 4 is also gone.

This will fail spectacularly in the vast majority of cases.

Well, I haven’t read the books except the first, and there’s zero reason to believe doing so is a requirement to enjoy the show properly. 

I feel like the story frames Jamie’s position as wrong, so I wouldn’t call the bit about the amputation ableist. He’s a soldier, it’s understandable that the thought of losing a leg is horrifying to him, but presenting Fergus as a foil worked pretty well.

All the tiny snippets of things that we know about this movie have been gold. Do not fuck this up, Denis.

While the device certainly looked really cool, I thought the reasoning behind it was a bit convoluted.

Do you come here exclusively to insult Kayla?

It’s the opposite of ironic.

Isn’t this the same author that described what it might have felt like to be in Kobe Bryant’s helicopter as it was crashing?

The delegate gap between Biden and Sanders is far from insurmountable.

I read somewhere that Laura Donnelly who plays Jenny doesn’t like being on the show, and decided not to come back for Season 4 even though it would have made sense for her to be at Lallybroch with Ian when Brianna visited there. Could just be hearsay, though.

I see no reason to ban it, but I don't really see drag as something for children. Though that's probably just because the drag content that I've been exposed to has been on the more sexually-charged side.

The closed loop theory has been more or less proven at this point, because Geillis’s skull and Claire and Jamie’s obituary both existed in the 60s before Claire went through the stones for the second time. All the things she did in the past had already happened.
