Non-book person here and based on your description of book Frank, it’s pretty easy to see why these changes were made — it makes for a better story. They didn’t try to make Frank tragic, they just made him a decent guy trying to do right by the woman he loved. It adds nuance and multidimensional sadness to the story.…

Yeah, I didn’t expect FULL ON book Frank (although you do find out later he maybe KNEW SONE STUFF and was trying to protect Bree and maybe couldn’t say what he knew so some of his a-hole behaviour was him being misunderstood) but even if he’d just come home when Bree was a baby and the House was a mess and Claire was…

While that may have worked for the book, it certainly sounds like it would create a very uninteresting drama for TV. I mean, making the one guy sculpted, kind, brave, handsome, etc and his opposite the most complete asshole imaginable seems kind of comic bookish.

Bree - both the character (book as well as tv) and actress are the WOOOOORST.

Jamie hated beards in the books. He shaved every chance he got. Besides Sam’s face...

I was a pro-Frank non-book viewer. Dude generally loved his wife, a wife who completely disappeared on him leaving him shattered for years and then came back through some intricate timey-wimey shenanigans and was wildly in love with somebody else. He might have been a bit boring but if you look at it through his point…

Well, there’s reunite and then there’s REUNITE! They only got to the former last night. =P

Don’t be. The last few minutes are amazing.

I know right? Why is Ron Moore so set on making him this great guy? I get that we find out later he knew more and tried to protect Bree etc but THERE WAS NO “OPEN MARRIAGE” IN THE BOOK! Why make Claire the bad guy there in the show? And Claire had no living family so what a load of crap “she could have left”, in the…

I’m really looking forward to these upcoming episodes because the reunification is amazing but then... oh right, all these other issues I forgot to mention. Lots of good tension and drama coming up.

WAIT, THESE FUCKERS DIDN’T REUNITE LAST NIGHT? Damnit, I was so keyed up to watch last night’s episode today, and now I am ... much less keyed.

That’s my understanding about the books, but he isn’t at all horrible in the TV show I am not pro-Frank so much as somewhat empathetic to Frank. He isn’t an angel, but he isn’t a monster either. Of course it is hard to judge Frank without seeing Black Jack Randall, who is easily one of the most loathsome people I have…

She is one of the only bad casting choices — WHHHY!

This show is confounding. Caitriona is gorgeous and nails the acting physically, but am I the only one who is bothered by her melodramatic delivery of every damn line? Like bad soap opera style? Like imma half sob my words so you know for sure that I.Am.Emotional. I can’t. I watch because I’m descended from a highland…

Two weeks?! Ugh. You’re so mean to me, Starz. Guess I’ll read the section in the book until then.

Vaguely. Actually, I think the actress is much better than how she is in the book. Brianna is not my favorite character (Murtagh for life, followed by Dougal!), but she’s not entirely painful and I just finished the 8th book. Yeah, 8 books. And I think there’s plan to go to 10. So if there are 8 books, which is common…

So, I introduced this show to my parents in the first season because I thought it would totally be their thing, and guess what? It was! Which is great, I love when I give successful recommendations.

This guy has struggled with this his entire life. It’s a shame, but not a surprising one, to see the pendulum swing back in this direction.

Like the one in Cruel Intentions? ewwww spit is gross. Totally ruined the scene
