It could be any of those things - they don’t know much about it and it isn’t discussed very much in the show. That said, isn’t the uncertainty about what could happen enough of a motivator to keep your kid away from the stones?

It isn’t discussed much in the show but the whole experience is said to be horrible and terrifying and they’re pretty sure that there are people who went into the stones and never got out.  

Or the baby could die on the way.

I just read an interview with Sam Heughan in which he said that he and Caitriona Balfe are going to try to get some more creative control over the story and their characters.  Apparently they are going to talk to Starz & Sony about it.  

Ron Moore always said that they weren’t going to have sex scenes just to have sex scenes. If the sex isn’t helping to tell the story, then he isn’t going to put his actors through them. We saw them having sex in the beginning of the season. It established that they are a happy, thriving couple in love. I don’t,…

Even book readers hate the first 100 pages or so of The Fiery Cross.

Sigh. That was Otter Tooth. The reviewer is always bleating on about the Native Americans not being fleshed out, not having back stories. Well, the title card was an attempt to give one of them a bit of a back story.

She pretty much learned that individuals cannot effect change on an epic scale after Culloden. I’m less concerned about her preventing genocide than I am about them not helping the woman who was thrown out of camp for helping them. 

I like the last two books a lot, though I skip a lot of the war and battle scenes.

A couple of years ago, that would have made me sad but I honestly wouldn’t care at this point. I kind of wish that they would break out of their book-a-season conceit. There’s enough interesting stuff in the last four books to make two good seasons of television but there isn’t enough interesting (to me) stuff in…

There is no way for them to know if the child can go through the stones and until they do know that, they can’t risk it. 

“It’s a rare centering of violence for the sake of violence that this show usually doesn’t dabble in.”

People share their Amazon accounts?  Is it possible to have a Prime password separate from the rest of Amazon?  I have credit cards linked to my Amazon account for Kindle & the app store (as well as ease of purchasing other stuff) so I would never ever share that password. 

I haven’t had a single problem.  Maybe it’s your particular Starbucks?

I live four blocks from my Starbucks so I get there very quickly.  Maybe one time in ten did I have to wait for my order. I suspected that they had a person dedicated to the mobile orders. 

That’s why I don’t ever go through the drive-through at Starbucks. I want to do up my own coffee, thank you very much.

I went through a phase when I was ordering off the app all the time and I had a blast configuring the shit out of my drinks in a way that I would NEVER do in person.

I ask for no-foam lattes.  Is that something different and if so, how?
