That’s one of the things I love too, regardless of my issue with there being so much rape, attempted or otherwise, throughout the books notwithstanding. I love that it stays with him, because in real life that would never go away, even if you’ve dealt with it on an intellectual level.

i’m not saying it was necessary for it to be this graphic, because for me it definitely wasn’t, but i do support the creative decision to let this happen to Jamie (as horrible as that sounds). for some reason i feel like it kind of resonates with Jamie being a virgin until marriage and Claire being such a sexually…
FJ, I think the long "table conversation" between Black Jack and Claire was meant to reveal just how much torture this guy can inflict.....he's just so damned scary, even when he's using words alone there becomes this slow feeling like your brain layers are being peeled off, one by one. And despite Black Jack's…
I have been waiting forever to share this story with people who know what I’m talking about! I lived in London last year, and one night I was dining at this private club and Tobias Menzies was at the next table. I don’t think he had even been cast in this role yet, I didn’t know his name, but I had seen his on Spooks,…
I read the first few Outlander books years ago, so vaguely remembered what was coming. (In the book, IIRC, Jamie tells Claire about what happened, but that wouldn’t have made for very compelling tv.) It occurred to me that we so rarely (if ever?) see situations on tv or in movies where a man experiences sexual trauma…
Anybody noticed it? When Black Jack offered a “better” death to Jaimie, a more “noble death” (if he lets him rape him before), he took for example the romans falling on their sword, like Brutus....
Plus once you’ve got your aim down you can do funny things like squirt your partner in the face from across the room —like shooting a water gun but better!
Sure, it’s possible to manually express milk. I almost always used the pump tho; it’s faster and less painful on your hands.
This is why I’m not allowed to time travel
They can't kill Jack Randall because of Frank. Duh. ;)
I think this was also a way of inserting something from the book - when Claire was roughed up by Black Jack the second time around, she realized that when she got still and silent he lost his erection. He can’t seem to get an erection without causing someone pain. But it was an inner thought, and probably wouldn’t…
Jenny laughing at BJR was perfect. She understood that rape is about power and dominance. He couldn’t get it up and by laughing at him, took both away from him. And good on her for taking Jamie down a peg. He was a jerk to her when he arrived.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but if I had been Claire, I’d have gone home. Book Claire, I get why she’d stay. Book Jamie seems much hotter than Book Frank, who we never get a real feel for. TV Show Frank, though...hubba hubba! Maybe I just love me some Tobias Menzes. Dude Whose Name I’ve Forgotten Who Plays…
“Looks like I’m going to a fucking barbecue”
Please don’t tell anyone but this show is one of my guilty pleasures. But I digress. I agree, enough of this witchcraft b.s. What shocked me was the fact that Geillis was from the future. She was a full blown flower child! I could barely tolerate her character on the show. Now I want her back. What an untold story....…
Yeah, I thought that was really interesting. However, I kind of felt that Ned was being smart in that he knew that the best way to defend Claire and Geillis was to get on the townspeople’s level. He knew that reason and sense would be lost on people who believe in witchcraft, so he skillfully turned their testimonies…
This is sort of a general comment about Claire's brashness with the preface that I love Claire and think she's a phenomenal character though certain qualities telegraph differently on screen than from the page. So here goes: For a woman who time travelled back 200 years through some witchy Scottish rocks, she should…
