Very mixed feelings about this episode. Wrapped up a lot of the Sandringham nonsense, which was completely incomprehensible in the book, but a little better on the show. I find the episode rather boring, but a decent transition to upcoming stuff. Saw traces of Diana Gabaldon’s writing all over this script -…

Don’t think I started warming up to Brianna until Book 7 and she was STILL annoying as hell. She should be awesome - she’s Claire & Jamie’s daughter! but instead she’s just ugh most of the time. Roger is way too good for her I say, way too good.

I’ll need to check out the podcast. Rupert has always been the more sensitive of the two, so I think that does make sense - Angus would just get drunk - just like Rupert did, but I don’t know that I would *feel* his pain the way that Grant O’Rourke so quietly expressed it in that last scene - that was the face of man…

Angus!!! *sobs uncontrollably* I was so sure it would be Rupert, which would have been equally, if not more devastating.

so did the bear end up electrocuting herself? they turned off the video right at the crucial point!!

Well welcome aboard :) Not surprised that SF would roll their eyes - San Jose, unfortunately, has always been the annoying little brother that so desperately wants to be as cool as San Francisco but instead just ends up looking foolish. Sharks flaming out every year is almost like tradition at this point - I’m still…

It can handle more than a few. There will definitely be bandwagonners, but as a San Jose native, I feel like Warriors and Sharks are the two teams that all of us in the Bay Area just *like* no matter if they are doing pretty damn great or pretty damn terrible.

I come from a family of large-chested women - it really sorta sucks having D+ boobs at age 12. Constantly being told to cover up, or not wear something so low cut gets really old, really fast. My mother policing my clothing because she didn’t want me to look “cheap”. Feeling constantly overweight as a teenager because…

When I was pregnant with first child, pre-natal vitamins made me violently ill. I mentioned it to my OB who told me to just stop taking them - that really the benefits of pre-natals was prior to getting pregnant and that it wouldn’t harm anything if I stopped taking them. My son is actually on the autism spectrum, so…

i noticed the same thing! I wasn’t sure if the timeline was supposed to have changed or what happened there. There have been some strange continuity errors this season.

the rapes never ever end! it’s a sad commentary that you roll your eyes and sigh “ANOTHER rape?!” in every single book in the Outlander series.

IMO alot of Dragonfly is a boring read - the politicking is so much more in the book and it just seems to drag on forever. I actually like Claire through Season 2 so far - bookClaire made me want to scream from frustration. Will it get exciting? There are some exciting scenes coming up, but I can’t see it get truly…

The Jalapeno ones are awesome. I like them better than the peas. I have to be very conscious of how much I am eating otherwise I WILL eat the entire bag. They are that good.

I think of my ex-husband as an annoying brother or even one of my kids at times. Any romantic or sexual feelings have long since disappeared but we have 2 kids together and a lot of shared history and we actually do a decent job co-parenting. He’s like an annoying relative that I will always have to deal with, so I…

It’s Renee Elise Goldsberry, not Elizabeth. It was pointed out on the linked post, but never corrected, and is wrong yet again.

never mind. kinja'd

I completely admit to being a family photo xmas card whore. It’s funny - the reason I do it is because we NEVER took group photos when I was a kid. There were pictures taken of course, but I also wanted to do a “true” family photo even if it was at freakin’ Sears. So now that I’ve got a couple of kidlets of my own, I…

A friend and I were just discussing the Esprit outlet this past Saturday. Back in the day (yes, I'm an old), it was an actual warehouse in San Francisco, and you just had to pick through bins and bags and boxes of stuff to find those treasures - so much school clothes for so little money. Man, Esprit was awesome.

I think even the black shoes that she said to save for the summer would be fine if the socks were black. The white socks are terribly jarring, but a block sock would really just make it look more like a closed shoe.

My worst fear - i'll die at home for whatever reason but the police will be convinced that I was for-sure-murdered because the house is very much not "well-kept". All of the newspaper articles about my death will be "I Started Something was apparently not a good housekeeper so police thought someone had broken in"
