Good points. For all the discussion of how "brave" this series is in showing life in the 18th century, the show is really not so brave after all. Everything still has a 21st century gaze to it. An episode featuring Jamie beating Fergus would have been viewed with outrage - even though it was a normal punishment…

Fergus was a child prostitute in the book. He was a street kid. The TV series writers changed it - made him just a pickpocket for TV. I'm sure there were many child prostitutes in those days. It doesn't make him any less a victim. The show just never brought it up in previous episodes, so they had to change it…

So… do you also disapprove of the way they changed that whole Fergus story quite a bit from the book? In the book Black Jack arrives looking for a prostitute. He sees Fergus and and asks for him. Madame Elise tells Fergus to go and she will split the profits with him (Fergus has done this before) and he willingly…

Ron Moore didn't write this episode. Nor did he direct it. Your complaint is with Toni Graphia/Metin Hüseyin . They have team of writers. Diana Gabaldon was even part of that team for awhile - she wrote the screenplay for Episode 11. Looks like you have some personal grudge against Ron Moore. Book readers need…

The last thing we knew about Murtaugh (I thought), he was hunting for Mary Hawkin's rapists. Remember, he was "shamed" about not defending Claire and Mary. Maybe he was accompanying her to England? He also had to get rid of that wine. Still, this episode covered at least 2 months - Claire's miscarriage and…

The child actor is French, and I believe this was filmed in Scotland. American laws wouldn't apply as far as the actual filming. I don't know about laws in the UK or France. Also, the on-screen version didn't show any "skin" or even actual sex - it was all suggestive. It was a lot less than say - Brooke Shields…

Brianna (that little girl grown up) is a totally obnoxious Mary Sue in future Outlander books. I barely got through book 4 because I disliked her so much. If they continue the TV series they will need to make some serious adaptations from the books - especially with her.

I noticed they chose to make this a mainly French-actor episode (except for the main characters Claire, Jamie, BJR of course). Murtagh and the Bonnie Prince were totally missing. I'm glad they gave Louise a serious side after all her frivolous behavior in previous episodes. Catriona Balfe was wonderful - she…
