Roger is very much my favorite character in the later books. I can't say I've ever really invested in some of the other characters like Marsaili or William or Ian, etc.

It probably could have worked better if Claire had been able to do it. As it is, the couple in the books did manage to remain married long enough to raise Brianna and they weren't always unhappy together. We don't know yet what the TV show's take on it will be.

I'm fine with the television version of Frank. My take on it is that Frank saw the doctor to find out if his suspicions were correct, but he couldn't bring himself to move on like everyone was telling him to do. They may leave out some of his less appealing traits in this show. So far we know TV Frank was apart from…

I think there's something to be said for Frank's approach, actually. What good does it do Claire to hang on to a ghost or talk to Frank about Jamie, letting him marinate in his jealousy? Why let Brianna long for a father she never has any hope of meeting, as far as they know? If Claire was going to stay with him, he…

He had reason to think she was dead. I imagine there would have been people like Reverend Wakefield telling him it was time to move on with his life, think about marrying again, etc. Even in the books, Frank was written as a man who cared very much about his own family history and wanted children. Maybe he wanted to…

I doubt he was looking at her as a professional accessory at that point. He could easily have divorced her and remarried and adopted a child, without all the baggage.

Then there's the multiverse theory, where every choice you make creates another timeline. It could be the original timeline still exists somewhere, but the time traveler has just created a new version of events.

Jamie is very much a man of his time.

If I remember Frank's back story, he worked with Claire's uncle on research expeditions and fell in love with her when she was a teenager or early 20 something. He was older, was supposed to be sophisticated and intelligent and knowledgeable about other cultures. He was probably fairly unconventional. He also clearly…

He wanted them gone, along with any other reminders that Claire had slept with another man and her child wasn't his. It makes perfect psychological sense.

I would assume the TV show will continue to deviate from the books so there will be two different versions of the story. The TV series rounded out Frank's character and made him more sympathetic by telling the story from his perspective. Why would a man take back a woman who vanished for two years and came back…

I actually prefer Frank to Jamie in this television version of the series. He's almost too perfect to be real.
