But it was too "new" looking. That's what puzzled his friend as to where he got it- it didn't look 200 years old.

I wish they would do more with this. I like the comparing of a "woman's place" with that of the 18th century where they were literally and legally a man's property and post-war western world where they were property in practice. In the books there's a handful of these wonderful moments of showing how the 18th century…

Yeah, and in the first book he gets frustrated that she isn't the perfect hostess when she spills tea on a colleague they have over for tea and swears by accident in front of him.

I wonder if his acceptance of her having an affair is just foreshadowing him admitting he was with other women when she's not around. Like, he's the type to always need female companionship but doesn't see the problem because his heart is always with Claire. Like those people that don't see a problem with an affair as…

But, then in the books Frank is as well- he's very much a post-war Englishman in some ways.

If memory serves the graduation episode was aired as a special in prime time, correct? With a preview or possibly the pilot of the college years attached… omg why do I remember this so distinctly…?

I feel like he filed for bankruptcy at the end of the trial. He was worth a lot in endorsements at his height, lived wealthy but not over the top extravagantly.

Somebody out there is just DESPERATE for this to be the new Twilight, aren't they? But I thought the kids moved on? Sappy dying romances like Fault in Our Stars are the new thing with the young kids right?

Carrie Fisher is about my mother's age and guess what? She looks like a woman about my mother's age.

Their the best part of the show. The young pretty people are so desposble.

Yeah, I felt like that line about the generals felt a bit pandering, like the writers are afraid of offending the modern Japanese who might be watching with that common narrative- though gleefully not trying to do the same for modern Germans who themselves have a narrative about being being prisoners of their own…

So… Smith is Joe's dad, right? It seemed pretty heavily implied in this episode, right?

I think the hat was to hide his distinctive red hair and face since the British were out in full force looking for escaped prisoner.

I wonder how much worse these rape scenes were simply because this show had previously provided us with so much intimate and loving sex before hand. Especially to have it done to a character who's only experience with sex prior to it was with a woman he loved. It was clearly established that Jamie is a character that…

Also, how gorgeous was that ship at the end. God, I love 18th century ship designs

I've always seen Jack Randall as the clever sociopath monster that every now and then you hear about finally getting caught and the realization that he's been a predator for years. The kind that shocks people because they seemed "so normal." Jack Randall is the sadistic predator who uses his time period's social rules…

At first blush I completely agree with this review and everyone's criticisms. And, in some ways I still do. (If it really wasn't a hard suit to work or character to do why does it matter to keep the wishy washy comedian behind him operating Waldo? What really did Jamie add to this character other than the ability to…

Considering how weird people on here are about spoilers I figure it's better to air on the side of caution.

That opening scene was such a beautiful piece of writing: I love Jamie and McQuarrie discussing how when your hanged you loose control of your bowels. It's such a brilliant reminder of how ruthlessly ugly and inefficient capital punishment hanging is.

Okay, memory- the closest to any real feminist terms the show used was Peggy a couple of seasons ago feebly trying to use the "equal pay laws" to get a rightful rise and Don shutting her down for whining for more money
