I think the recapper has said she hasn't read the books.

Outlander continues to empower its female characters

Most excellent.

Yep, that was a good episode. He did look especially gorgeous in his kilt with all that curly hair.

The scarf is a slight non-hotness.

Husband: Why is your browser perma-opened on this guy?
Me: Because he's hot.
Husband: He looks like a dick.
Me: NO. He's hot!
Husband: What does he do? Besides quaffing his hair?
Me: He's professionally hot. That's all he has to do.
Husband: He looks like a total dick. What's all that crap in his hair?
Me: That's…

Hang on. Let me check (any excuse for stalking!!)

Nooo way. He looks so cute in his kilt and his cravat and all that hair curling over his collar.

Agreed. I prefer his Jamie look although sometimes he does look like a hobbit. I'm not a fan of all those GQ-style photos he posts on Instagram - far too stylised and fetishist. I like men to look like men, not primped and landscaped girls. Ick.

Hey, we're discerning. Right?

Those knees are totally worth fetishising.

I thought I'd responded to this but can't see the reply. Past books 2.5 the material becomes so ridiculous I can't see how they can continue to follow the books.

3) Too obvious

The perfect personification of upper class twits. Hilarious show. I think the premise of the show is the Americans are bemused by anything "other", so it's not necessary to go to Borat-like lengths to get the same polite but perplexed reaction from them.

I'm reading it now. So interesting. Thanks again for the link.

6/13/16

Fab link thanks.

That makes sense, then. Perhaps Dresbach is trying to balance the requirements of authenticity and the romance of Gabaldon's material.

True but wearing clothes made from flax that are of a similar colour, probably that which the local herbs provide, is far less skill and time than weaving different patterns for a multitude of clans, of which there must have been hundreds.

..but so much of it? That means every crofter and shephard was weaving. The demand would have been on an industrial scale without the technology. Industrial revolution hadn't happened yet.

I'm prepared to be judged for this, fellow posters: I've downloaded Memoirs of the Rebellion in 1745 and 1746 by James Johnstone Johnstone (chevalier de) and it makes for compelling reading.
