Brace yourself: the Jamie Fraser apologists are coming.

Mean is subjective, sweetie. And sadly, no, I don't teach WS, but I am a feminist who finds female misogynists like you irritating and embarrassing.

Jury's still out on whether you do, in fact, possess any kind of intelligence, and I can't insult something that doesn't exist, now can I?

*Maitresse* darling. It means "mistress" in a language you probably equate with wine drinking, rude smelly people.

You do realize that it's pointless to complain about what the show hasn't done, given that the author herself has considerable power over the show's creative process, yes?

Well, now you can continue to masturbate to young Jamie without interruption, so…

Julia Child was in the OSS, this is true, but the OSS was a lot bigger than Julia Child's department (topography, i.e. map making). In any event, the analogy isn't even apt because Frank is English and wouldn't be in the OSS, which was an American agency and the precursor to the CIA. As a British intelligence officer,…

Also also, why are you conflating toughness with maturity? Those two things aren't the same.

Children can also suffer emotional and physical trauma, but those experiences don't make them adults. In fact, they can stunt a person's development, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what's going on with young Jamie.

Yep. This episode cemented my position on Team Frank. Jamie's cute and all (fine, he's gorgeous), but I can't help thinking about what was said regarding Laoghrie (sp?), "She's a lass and she's bound to be a lass till the day she's fifty, ya ken?" The speaker might as well have been referring to Jamie. His immaturity…

Sadly, our views as a country on abortion are, in fact, quite backwards than those held in the 1740s. Back then, it was not unheard of for a woman to take care of an unwanted pregnancy with herbal abortifacients, and most people didn't care unless she actually began to show or felt herself "quicken."

Each dollhouse had their own unique codenames for their actives, and the LA dollhouse used the NATO phonetic alphabet specifically. Echo, November, Sierra, Victor, Whisky, Tango, Mike, Kilo, etc. Jed and Maurissa were the head writers on Dollhouse. They could have used any other letters for Talbot's password, but they…

Whoa! Check out those Dollhouse references getting dropped left and right! Reed Diamond, aka ex security chief slash NSA mole Laurence Dominic, as a recurring character. Plus, Talbot's security clearance password containing the characters "Sierra" and "Victor."

"See people? We really ARE better together! You people are like the young, sexually inexperienced Jamie, whilst we are like the patient, sexually savvy Claire. Under our tutelage, you become better lovers!" said the Tories as they breathed a sigh of relief that Scotland chose to remain part of the Union.

Depends. Is that water balloon gluten free?

From the dress to the unique wedding ring to the hand fasting vows, I predict this is the episode that's going to launch a thousand Offbeat Bride posts. As in, "Check out Madison and Carter's Outlander-Inspired Gaelic Hand Fasting!"

MTV 3 or some such channel has a series called "Quiero Mis Quince," which is supposed to be a Spanglish version of "My Super Sweet 16." I could see Fausto showing up on that.

I agree. It's just that, in the heat of the moment, the dumped person can't see beyond, "He/She doesn't want me."

Also also also, very happy to see a well-rounded, fully actualized Latina lesbian couple on TV, but very sad to see them break up. I feel like I would totally hang out with Adriana and Lucy in real life. Heck, I'd probably take Lucy out for a "Fuck you, Adriana, why are you leaving me?!?" beer.
