Whoa. I didn’t know that dude died. Who is going to be creepy to all those women now?

It’s not stupid. I do it often when I’m freezing at work. 

Oh! The breakfast!  I was in the middle of typing a post indicating complete bafflement but I get it now.  I thought it was some arcane web design thing at first.

Did Kayla steal your birthday or something?  I don’t always agree with her and I see that her reviews sometimes contains errors of fact and interpretation, but so does every single review on this website. 

Oh heavens.  Regardless, they are closer in age to the characters they are currently playing than they were in the first two seasons. 

BOOK SPOILER:

Not every 51yo has reached menopause.

The actors are only about 10 years to young. And much is made in the books that Claire looks younger than the women around her because she had the benefits of 20th-century nutrition, dentists and skin care.

It still might.  Jamie’s recovery took a while.  

Book spoiler:

When they met, she was 25-ish and he was 20-ish. So now, she is 50-ish and he is 45-ish. She went back to 1763 and they were together for a couple of years before Culloden and separated for about 20 years after Culloden. She’s probably been back in the past for close to a year, so the timeline works roughly.

Outlander fandom is split fairly dramatically over the choice of music there at the end. Me, I thought it was brilliant. It took a scene that I was really dreading - one that I skip over when re-reading - and made it really powerful. I was shocked and sobbing by the end of it and that is 90% due to the music.

I’m pretty sure that there isn’t a river in Scotland that looks like the particular river they were on, though that doesn’t excuse the terrible green screen.  I have a bad feeling that we’re for a lot of that this season.  

Maybe, but he’s definitely the hottest.

Nifty!  

Your exact dog? The little pug?

Those little mashed potato nuggets are one reason I’m glad that TJ’s is not geographically convenient to either my home or my place of work. Mashed potatoes shouldn’t be that easy to make. The only reason I don’t eat them every day is because they’re a kind of a pain.

I dunno. I kind of have to draw the line at eating something that’s still alive.

Do hearts count as offal? Because that’s what I’d pick, due to it being just a muscle and so not so different from the meat I usually eat. But anything in the digestive tract? Or filter organs?  Maybe if I’m starving, but I’d honestly rather not eat meat than eat that.

Meh, someone ate marrow on a regular old Food Network show on my teevee just this afternoon.  It’s not as nearly as weird as brains.
