Quote: "How did Wayne get that huge wound in his stomach? What was Nora going to do before she found the baby? Of course the answer to both questions is “it doesn’t matter,” but you still have to try to figure it out."

Quote: "It feels like a lot of things. And that is really the best way to summarize this episode: It feels like a lot of things. As I said a bit for the last episode, it’s throwing up Rorschach ink blots and waiting to see the reaction on its audience’s faces. So it’s not particularly coherent, and I’m beginning to…

This was by far the BEST hour of television I've seen in a LONG time. I've read the book, and this is basically how it ends, but they really do a great job on screen. A+

I'm a fan. It's fun and silly.

Hmmm that brings up a good point. Why wasn't the baby just being breastfed?

Oh you're right! Thanks for the refresher.

Yeah, but I like how Frank's an intellectual. As yummy as Jaime is, it would be nice if we could see a book-smart side of Jaime; although with the sparse number of books in the 1740s, I'm not sure there were too many bookish men.

Thanks for the info. My Eastern History, as with many American's, is very weak. That's a major issue I have with the American education system: While we at least touch on significant parts of European History, we hardly go further east to India, Japan, etc.

I think part of the problem lies in the fact that on TV, Claire has to hit Dougal with a stool to "fight" him off. Any time a man doesn't back off by himself, but has to be "fought" off, it might come off as an attempt to rape. Could that be the difference?

You're right. Causing a scene was looked at as "hysteria" by Freud even a century and a half later; and the oh-so-calm male was needed to preserve peace.

Yes, I was afraid someone would remind us of that evil spinster "Gossip," which essentially tears down my argument of past female power.

That's true. It's not like we're dealing with the repressed English aristocrat.

Great perspective. I was recently thinking, about how far into the future I might live to: 2050, 2060, maybe more if I'm lucky? They'll laugh at us for being born in another century. It's eerie to think that 200 years from now, we'll be a tiny speck in the distant memory of a history book.

Love the wool waulking encounter. Made me realize how much more "connected" women could be—the sense of sisterhood. That's the spirit of feminism! Now women stay isolated indoors and hate-stalk other women on Facebook.

Hah! My in-laws went to go see "Borat" in the theaters cause they heard it was good. My father-in-law is a Silicon Valley engineer so something like "Borat" is the farthest thing from his radar. Thank God I wasn't there to watch him see Sasha fight the big fat guy naked! The only thing worse than watching an…

Oh, I took my mother to see "Pulp Fiction" in the theaters cause I heard it was good. There's the butt rape scene, and the F-bombs every other second; and then Bruce describes how he hid his pocket watch up his a$$ for seven years. Straight up, NEVER see a Tarantino movie with your parents!

I watched "Home Alone" every single day during the summer of 91'. No joke, I can still recite lines from the movie. It opens with,

Nah, it's always more fun to have a Partner-in-Crime.

Yep, I watch the bleakness of "Married" and "You're the Worst," then jump over to "Garfunkel and Oats" for some pure happy-go-lucky optimism! It's the perfect Thursday routine.
