I haven’t read the books either, but Frank’s arc in the show is so tragic. No, he’s not perfect, but he waited and waited in an unhappy marriage in order to give Brianna a stable home, then just as he’s about to sweep her off to Cambridge and marry a woman who does love him, boom, car wreck, dead. But at least…

JUSTICE FOR FRANK

I concur. Plus, it’s prison, a world we all know that throughout time people’s gender preference tends to stop being a priority in exchange for human intimacy. John’s not stupid, he knows Jamie’s into women (he was mourning after a woman, his wife) and, to be fair, Jamie’s the only person in the vicinity that’s an…

I feel the same, I dont see anything wrong with the scene. If anything its fascinating to see a gay character in the 1700s in these type of situations. John simply mistaked Jamie’s kindness for something else.

I hope that this means that Tobias Menzies can go on to be the true leading man we all know he can be.

Hey now, factoring in the soccer match last week, Atlanta edged out New England 35-34 on aggregate.

I’ve always liked Frank more than Jamie because the former’s a more interesting leading man idea than the former. Like, Frank went down on Claire in a dirty-ass castle within minutes of the pilot! He’s raising another man’s child as his own! He can rock an old-timey suit! His doppelganger from the past is evil but he…

I have great sympathy for Frank, especially show!Frank who so far hasn’t shown book!Frank’s worst tendencies. My issue as I mentioned on the last episode is that Claire chose to stay. She’s not Frank’s prisoner. Her marriage to him wasn’t arranged or forced like hers to Jamie. We can argue how much agency Claire has…

I was a book reader before I started the tv series and couldn’t really imagine how they would do it without voiceover - there were just so many thoughts and decisions she makes in the first book without anyone to talk to that seemed like they would be difficult to explain without it. But watching the series I’ve come…

So my SO has been catching up on this. Am I the only one rooting for boring real life husband? I’m not even a prude, but I find myself muttering “cheating b@#$%, I hope this ends badly for you...”

I hate this so much.
