Where's my two dollars?!

The movie is On Demand now. You should give it a shot. I think you will like it if you liked Dazed and Confused.

Whatever. I was making a point that people do treat black people different by being hyper-sensitive about any thing against them. And I'm sorry, but when referring to a specific group of people, it is proper to refer to them as they. I would say the same if I was talking about white people as a group.

Racism will end when people stop thinking it's off limits to have two vice principals actively trying to take down an outside hire just because she's black. The actress is right. If it was a white woman who was hired from another school instead, no one would talk like that. Can't we all just treat black people like…

That's funny. I just read Roeper's reviews of Ghostbusters and The Infiltrator, and he had completely different takes than AV Club. Roeper said Ghostbusters is the worst movie of the year, and The Infiltrator is the best. Something tells me I'm more inclined to agree with him on The Infiltrator, but will reserve…

I don't know show Colum very well. He was only in a few scenes.

You put the book down. I read it 18 years ago, so can't divorce the book from the show. The show is okay, but the book makes a heck of a lot more sense.

Jamie was totally committed to dying that day. He thought he would be murdered by the Mackenzies if he didn't die in the battle. He was talking to Claire about seeing her in Heaven when it was her time to die.

This is where books give much greater context than the show. Jamie asked for Rupert to give him two hours to see his wife safe before he told the clan about Dougal's murder. It didn't matter whether Colum, in private, told Jamie and Dougal he was thinking about making Jamie the Chieftain because no one else knew…

There was, but I only noticed it because I had read the books. It wasn't very clear in the show how much danger they were in because of Charles Stuart signing Jamie's name to that call to arms (don't know the formal name).

Yeah, Young Ian is one of my favorite characters, but William not so much.

I did. I think the last half of the season really started to do right by Jamie's character.

I think we may. The book ended in the same place. What happened at the Battle of Culloden was the big mystery of the book.

It was probably just an interesting thing the author came across in her research. I once read that Diana Gabaldon wrote scenes out of sequence and then stitched them together. So she would find something interesting about 18th century coin dealers, and write it with Jamie and Claire, then fit it into the story. It…

That's funny because I was going to mention McConnaughey too. I used to think he was a doofus, but I saw him in a tribute to Richard Linklater, and he seemed pretty cool and funny. He was kind of weird on late night shows though, but then they're forced and probably very awkward having to talk in front of a live…

I forgot that there are a couple of pretty crazy commenters here, but overall it's better than the fawning over the author and books on other sites.

I know what you're saying, but they could easily make his character less stereotypical in the show.

How could they not have Mr. Willoughby? He was pretty essential to the plot.

Me too, and I've even grown to like some because of their interviews. I wasn't a fan of Drew Barrymore's acting abilities, but she has such a happy-go-lucky and positive personality that it made me like her.

Claire was in all the English broadsheets as a witch and a traitor. She would have been executed if caught by the English. No way would Jamie want her to go to Lallybroch after the Rising over her much safer future world.
