They don't get how there's acting???

Oh good lord. What is wrong with these people……………don't bother to answer.

Ah him. He was cute and showed that there's no such thing as a small part. That actor was fantastic.

So true and in the context of greater British history, Culloden, whilst critical to Scotland, was not really that big an event when you consider endless French squabling and losing half a continent. Also, loss of life was quite modest comparatively - 2000-ish. I thought Gabalson did a great job of making us…

From what I've seen, some of the online fans at least, are quite intense.

…and fully understanding the cost to Scotland if he lost. Swine.

That's very true.

Straight or gay - who cares. Why are people being threatened because they won't believe Heughan is gay? I tell ya' the fandom surrounding these books and the show is beyond even Internet crazy. I wonder whether the actors feel a bit worried.

Isn't that funny. I have exactly the opposite view.

Off topic: I was reading a forum that endlessly debated Sam Heughan's sexual orientation (I'm Camp Who Cares, pardon the pun). Boy, if you think some of the book fans are deranged, they're nothing to these little monkeys. Any suggestion that this talented actor is not gay is met with vitriol and threats and…

SPOILER****

I have all the books (don't judge me! I'm recovering from surgery and have to fill my time with SOMETHING) and I think by the time Prestonpans happened I was in full scanning mode. I may have to re-scan with intent this time.

Do you think it became obvious to the producers at some point that Jamie was the more compelling character? And more Sam Heughan time was essential to the show? Early season 2 was woefully Sam deficient.

I'm a bit thick - who was Lt. Hottie?

I loved Dumb and Dumber; their antics were hilarious. Good acting I thought. Not for you?

That cheering you hear from the south of the planet is the whole of Australia celebrating the Lack of Claire this episode.

Good point. I thought she generally played to her strengths and stuck to what she knew, a good strategy for newly minted writers.

Past book 2 and a bit, the plots become so schizophrenic that Jamie barely has time to remember his name, let alone major historical events and his role in them!!!

This episode, I was struck by how much of war is sitting around and thinking about the likelihood that you will die

Stuarts, even the girls, not at all hot. The word that springs to mind is "gormless". Also, "chinless".
