At least he's passionate about something! That'd probably be one of my dealbreakers—someone who didn't feel strongly for anything.

Hear, hear. I love stories about how people's relationships work in reality. Nothing like how they're presented in something like Twilight, for example (so there's no such thing as vampire divorce?).

Depends too on the BMW. My SO drives a 20-year-old BMW and is so not one of those BMW douchebags.

Back at Leoch was my first thought. But there are several what I think significant events that happen between the wedding night and Leoch, and I don't know how they'll squeeze all that into two episodes.

According to <a href="http://www.vulture.com/2014/09/outlan…">this Vulture article</a>, "While the scene marked the first time the characters had had sex with each other, the actors who play Claire and Jamie had already done a love scene together — a more intense scene that we won't see until episode nine when Outla…

Thanks for sharing your story. It's interesting that you're able to say your dad's provided a roof over your head, given you money, etc. Very few people are truly all good or all bad, and I think I can understand your ambivalence towards labeling him.

Just another story to remind me of how racism still exists in our society. Seriously, I never thought being affectionate with one's spouse in public could be yet another thing that could get someone in trouble if he or she were black. Engaging in PDA while black, like driving while black.

I like how the cat tried to make the best of it by clawing at the mat. No, seriously, the cat could care less where its poop ends up.

The actor is credited as being "Lieutenant Jeremy Foster" according to imdb.

I was disappointed there wasn't more interaction between the two of them in this episode, especially after the scenes we've gotten of them seeming to enjoy spending time with one another. I wonder if it's because Jamie feels like he has to be one of the guys, because there is so little privacy on the road. Or maybe…

On this Goodreads forum that I'm on, someone posted the part from Outlander where Jamie sleeps outside Claire's door and Claire stumbles across him. I'd read the book a few weeks ago, but I hadn't remembered how much they conversed in that one scene. I loved the way it was depicted on the show, the way Jamie almost…

I can't help but think of how when you first start dating someone, you don't want to use the bathroom in their presence, especially if God forbid he or she could hear you! I wonder if people back then were inhibited in the same way. I get that courtship would be much more restrictive, but did people worry about…

Ha, I'd seen that picture before but I just now noticed the conifer branch stuck in one of the water bottles.

I was wondering how this would be portrayed on the show. I don't remember it so much from my reading of Outlander, but the graphic novel The Exile definitely highlighted the potential steaminess of the situation.

So I guess Jezebel and io9 occasionally will offer Outlander recaps? Speaking of hand-holding, did anyone catch Jamie holding Claire's hand when he guides her to a seat during the concert in last week's episode? I didn't participate so much in last week's discussion but I hadn't noticed any other comments on that.…

I became a fan of Richard Armitage after watching North and South. He's like the original giver of smoldering looks although it's harder to crush on him when he's costumed as a dwarf in The Hobbit.

Heartbreaking quote from the linked story:

Smoldering!

I wonder if a more analogous situation would be if a gay man made catcalls at them. Assuming that the construction workers aren't themselves gay, I'd bet most of them would feel creeped out by the attention.

Most of the jeans in my current rotation are Citizens of Humanity, not so much because they fit me better than other brands, but because I found certain cuts (wide-leg) that I like. I've been buying them off of eBay for cheap because they're no longer considered trendy. I've also had success with Paige Premium, Seven…
