Okay I don't want to accidentally spoil you (or anyone else), so I'm still going to be vague with my answer.

For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.

I can get you a toe by 3 o clock this afternoon. With nail polish.

That is a weird coincidence!

I suspect Gabaldon picked pretty much every single characteristic she could think of to label Randall as a definite villain, so after his actions in the first book, it was hard for him to do anything even more shocking, beyond assaulting a child.

His girlfriend gave up her toe!

Agreed! The pages and pages of descriptions also didn't work for me. I was really resisting the urge to skim in large portions.

Uli doesn't care about anything.

You must be here to fix the cable.

That's a great point about the scene with the king!

"There's a nasty streak of misogyny in this fanbase."

He might need to add "child punching" to his CV. . . .

I do agree, though, that there is a problem if people are shrugging off the other scenes solely because of the gender of the victim.

One of my main problems is the actor who plays Fergus is 14. The actress who plays Mary is 21, and Sophie Turner was 18 or 19 when her scene was filmed.

As I've mentioned in an earlier comment thread on here, I think the storyline about Fergus could have been preserved but without showing anything.

I really hope that was the case!

It aired when she was 19, so presumably she was over 18 when it was filmed.

I know exactly what you mean! So many things I want to watch!

This is our concern, Dude.

What is that, yoga?
