I don’t believe that. Or at least not entirely. I don’t know Baltimore at all, but I can’t imagine that the people living in those specific areas of Baltimore don’t see it as “our community” anymore. One of the buildings being burnt was a home for senior citizens, by the church. From all the preachers speaking on TV,…

And “rioters” is a more preferable term? It seemed to me that Hillary’s point was that these were just protesters (and shouldn’t be called thugs), and that the mayor seemed to be more focused on these “protesters” than she is on the cops. To me, protesting doesn’t involve burning down homes for the elderly and other…

Sincere question.....Is the problem that she called them thugs, and/or that she’s not calling out the cops more? The cops are the more systemic, entrenched problem, to be sure. But what do you call the people who burnt down a church-sponsored home for senior citizens? Who set fire to a pharmacy that probably provided…

I agree with you. I find it less - and less aggravating - here than on other sites. But as someone who hasn’t really read the books - I say “really” because I’ve read “certain” parts of a few books ;) - it’s hard to not be spoiled, even subtly with “wait until a few more episodes”-type comments. And frankly I’m tired…

The lack of sex notwithstanding, I think this was one of my favorite episodes. There was so much character development. Claire learns more about how to let a family deal with their own shit themselves. We get to see Jamie and Jenny grapple with the effects of their mutual trauma. I give the show runners a lot of…

I quit watching GH when Robin went off to wherever it is she went off to. I loved her and Patrick (although I know not everyone did) and didn’t want to see Patrick with....Who is he with? The girl who used to be with Jason? Who was dead but now isn’t?

I haven’t really seen her on anything, only references about her. What is so “courageous” about her?

I think that the show (again, I don’t know about the books) has the same problem that every show has when dealing with a romantic triangle. In order for the drama or tension/indecision for the audience to really work, both sides of the triangle have to be equally as compelling. I love Jamie more than Frank because…

And the AV Club is good, I think. http://www.avclub.com/tv/outlander/

Didn’t Ned say that witch trials were illegal at that time?

Did her decision make sense? Since I wanted her to pick Jamie, I”ll say yes. :) I guess I can say that the show hasn’t really shown us why she’d pick Frank. Yes, they were/are married. But we didn’t get to see that much of them as a couple to convince me that she was happier with Frank than with Jamie. Was that a…

I’ve been looking for good message boards too. I found this one, a subpage of a larger site about the books - http://outlanderbookclub.freeforums.org/outlander-star… .

I’m happier and happier that I haven’t read the books yet. I believe that books are, in most cases, better than the movie or TV adaptations. But I would hate to have read the books and then keep comparing the show to the books. (I’m not sure my mind works that way, though.) And I’m getting frustrated by reading…

I agree with you! You can send me a message on Sundays, so we don’t have to wait until late Mondays!

Where’s the rest? When he takes her to the stones (after she, presumably, thinks that by “home” he meant his home)? When he keeps her from going through because he isn’t ready to let her go yet? When he tells her that there’s nothing for her in 18th century Scotland? (I loved how that scene was so much like those…

Laverne - and all the rest of them - look great. But I don’t understand what she means in the interview when she says, “Black women are not often told that we’re beautiful unless we align with certain standards.” Apart from perhaps her skin color and being transgender - which are big “apart froms” - what about her…

If Jamie were going down on me, I'd be in whatever "perplexing" and "uncomfortable angle" I could be in, or he wanted me to be in, as long as it happened. I loved the look on his face when he's looking at Claire before getting up to answer the door. (And why was Jamie wearing pants, and not a kilt, in this episode?)

What’s the problem with high-rep light weights? Is it essentially b/c it doesn’t really do anything for your muscles?

God, yes! (And I’d love to hear more about your flashbacks! ;) )

I don’t think her wardrobe stands out all that much (which isn’t to say that she doesn’t look good), so I can’t judge.
