"But a woman initiating oral sex and the guy just going for it? Correct
me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a thing on
television before Outlander."

Not only lifted from its original literary sources, but lifted from other characters in the show. Rust steals the "time is a flat circle" line from Reggie Ledoux. People seemed to miss that present Rust is giving a performance to Gilbough and Papania, and is appropriating stuff he's heard to sell it.

Old Fashioned, huh? I guess chivalry is code for handjob.

I guess I never realized how looked down upon Happy Days and its rawkingness was. I'd been a fan since Ferment, but I remember Happy Days being a turning point for me. I kept it on almost permanent repeat for months. Now when I go back and listen to them, it's the one album I never think to put on. Oh, well, Wishville…

As the guy who shows up to everything, including movies, 15 minutes early, Becca's resonates with me the most. But the worst thing I can imagine (and have already come pretty close to experiencing here on earth) is having only one person to talk to and that person speaks only in quotes from popular TV shows and…

I had an interesting experience recently with this. My grandpa on my mother's side and I were best friends when I was young and he told me tons of stories about his experience in North Africa and Italy, although very little about combat which he undoubtedly saw as a machine gunner on a tank. I was talking with my mom…

It's entirely forgivable since pop culture representations of WW2 very rarely talk about the North Africa and Italy campaigns, especially recently. Patton and The Tuskegee Airmen are maybe the most notable I can think of written from the US perspective. My guess is that there just isn't the same amount of source…

I'm wondering how many people have a similar three categories. I wonder that because my grandfather had been fighting in the war for a full two years by the time the allies invaded Normandy. He was a machine gunner on a tank in North Africa and Italy. People seem to forget about that portion of the war.

Those are the two instances I remember. The Wikipedia for Liebgott says he wouldn't correct people and would use the assumption that he was Jewish to his advantage, so the confusion makes some sense. I don't necessarily see it as problematic in the scenes at the camp, because he doesn't react too strongly when he…

He was promoted to regimental S-2 (intelligence) right after Carentan but then we see him being told by Winters in this episode that he's being demoted to battalion S-3 (operations). Another great moment where he brushes it off, "What do you think I should write to these parents, Dick? Yeah, demoted, gotcha. 'Cuz I…

Quick correction: It was Perconte that was sent back to find an officer. It's somewhat important because he has some focus earlier in the episode when he's expressing his disillusionment to O'Keefe. Showing him in particular running diligently back is this quick glimpse of a renewed sense of purpose. Then later we get…
