I'm so happy the show is back. I took the summer to watch season 1 (which I didn't start until about midway through) and 2 DVDs, and episodes on WGN. (And stalking JLM on Twitter.) I loved the premiere, although, like some, I would like to have seen the days that were skipped over. But the scenes between Holmes and…

Boy, that was a tough and wonderful episode. The only part I can really watch more than once is the last 15 or so minutes. (Man, I'll miss Will, Rupert and Angus! I hope they're back at some point!) I don't watch GoT, so I can't speak to how it treats rape. I think that the show - and I presume, the book(s) - handled…

I don't watch/haven't read GoT, so I can't speak to what you're referencing there. But I think there's a difference b/w doing something different in the show versus how it was in the book, and doing something completely new - something that is significant - in the show that wasn't in the book. Apparently in the…

I thought that the winky smiley face after the word indicated that I was joking.Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I've been trying to find some message board where the review of the episodes, and the comments, can't/don't reference the books at all. I've flipped through book 1 and book 2, so I'm not spoiled by the show that much, but I hate the constant comparisons to the book. AVClub has been pretty good on that front.

The only thing I don't like about many book readers is the constant "That wasn't how it was in the books"-type comments.

But if someone has been watching panels about the show before the show even airs, aren't they just asking to be spoiled, in a sense? Or are you less upset that she spoiled it and more upset that she seemed "gleeful" about it? I didn't see her original comments, just people's responses, and it seems like she could have…

Since I wasn't aware of that connection, I just assumed that the line was from the book.

I cried too much the first time I saw the movie - even though they were mostly "happy tears," at the end - to be able to watch it more than once.

So Jamie's mother was pretty much a tramp, right? ;) Or, at least she seemed pretty popular with the highlanders. Jamie's father loved her. Murtaugh loved her. Marcus (was that his name?), the guy who owns the cows and recognized the pearls, loved her. Like mother like son, I guess, though. I'd be in line right…

Thanks for this response. Last night I was sort of confused about why Sherlock would relapse. But as you and others here and elsewhere have mentioned, there is no "why" - or no discernible "why", anyway - when it comes to addiction. I think that we -as a society and as TV viewers - so often want the "Big Bad" to be…

With an accidental colonoscopy you probably don't end up with someone as cute as Rafael. (Well, I guess with an accidental insemination you might not end up with Rafael either.)

Oh, to be sure! The wait is bad, but I like that there aren't as many re-runs.

Awww, no more reviews written by Myles. Now I feel bad about pointing out that there's some weird sentence structure thing happening in the paragraph under the picture of Sherlock and Oscar. :)

That's definitely true. But for me, at least some of the episodes I would give A's to were only because of things that probably shouldn't be in every episode anyway (such as sex ;) ). That's not really true, though, since lots of things non-sex related made episodes worthy of an A. :)

In something I read, Moore or DG said that they did shoot them going to the abbey. Or DG mentioned that the abbey scenes are part of the last episode. Not all of them, I'm sure, but some.

Ouch. A C+ seems harsh. (Although, since I'm in the midst of grading papers and have to remind myself - and my students - that a C is actually average, and "average " doesn't mean "bad." An average "Outlander" episode is still better than most.)

See, I don't think the show is cheesy at all. Is my love for the show blinding me to the cheese? Since I never understand what people mean when they describe shows as cheesy, I had to look it up. "Inferior, cheap or chintzy." I don't think any of those apply. I also found "Trying too hard, unsubtle and inauthentic."…

I don't know if I'd consider Kayla's comment about Sam/Jamie's body to be "objectifying" - although I can't really argue how/why it's not. I wonder , though, if the genre that "Outlander" falls under somehow makes the "objectifying" more…."okay"? Despite what Diana G. says - or what 've read people say about how…

Re-reading Kayla's post, it occurred to me that we could combine "Things from the Future that Amuse Jamie" with "Things from the Present that Confound Ichabod Crane (from "Sleepy Hollow")" and have a great show. Or at least a fun blog. :) But I did love the look on Jamie's face when Claire was explaining flight.
