I feel a little like that too. Just that scene of Maggie going into the control room and schooling Don and Jim on how to turn computers on felt miles removed from First Season Maggie who did things like confuse Georgia the country with the state and fuck up pre-interviews. At least he's attempting to write competent…

"I will paint my face white. No man may have me!"

I really sided with Kristina on this one too. I do frequently disagree with her parenting, as some other people have mentioned, the coddling and bowing to his every wish is pretty out of control, especially in some incidents where she has sided with him against other family members when Max was clearly in the wrong.

Ha, I thought that too. And then the thought of this asshole, so desperate to fling his idiocy at college students that he's going around paying universities to allow this, made me laugh. It made the actual article even more disappointing.

I had to rewind too. I got to Alison's part of the story and I was like "…wait a second. I thought I remember this dress seeming 'sexier'." But then of course it would, told from the point of view of someone painting her as a temptress.

I was wondering if they're actually referring to the same party. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be intentionally confusing. Didn't the accounts with the detective last week refer to these incidents taking place years ago - and Alison has a kid now - did they say someone was killed after the party, or only that…

I could probably spend hours analyzing all the tiny little differences in the two accounts on this show and what each of them mean. I especially love little stuff, like Alison's hair being up instead of down in her version of the party, and how even though she is wearing the same dress in both, in her side it looks a…

I also recall learning from Watson(?), Kristy's stepdad, that instead of giving your dog a bath in an absurd amount of tomato juice to remove skunk smell, you can spritz them with a spray bottle of vinegar. Apparently.

I do too, he also has adorably little patience for a lot of the completely asinine questions he gets asked at a lot of those things. He seems to be such an intelligent and thoughtful person (I mean, so does all the cast, but him especially) that its very obvious how tiresome he finds questions like "what time period…

Yeah, I was a little conflicted about it. On the one hand, I've really enjoyed the novelty of seeing the story told only through her eyes. We could definitely stand to have way more of that on television.

Well to be fair I don't think her perspective is going anywhere. The post just says there will be two viewpoints now. It's still Claire's story, but added to it is his side of things as well. I mean, they're married now. Everything that happens to her affects him and vice versa and they're about to start having some…

I thought this was kind of interesting:

Yeah its definitely like that in the book. He feels so emasculated and responsible for the whole thing that it even comes up after he rescues her that he thinks she blames him for letting it happen to her so much so that that's why she ran off and got captured.

I linked to it in a previous comment, but it sounds like they may actually be giving him some of his own voiceover.

As far as seeing more of an intro to his character, I just saw this comment from the author: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sc841d

Yeah, that's how I always understood it. The comments come from some instance when a bunch of fans were talking about how much they hated BJR and she said she was privately thinking "You know you're talking to Black Jack Randall right now" in the sense that all of these characters come out of her own imagination.

I went back and read the scene recently because I wasn't sure what people were talking about when they referred to Jamie raping her. I read the book for the first time at 15 and the non-consensual aspects of it kind of went over my head. In the scene, Jamie and Claire fight and he starts to take her to bed. She…

I thought it might be showing them at Craigh Na Dun too, but then I remembered seeing this picture of her all wrapped up in his kilt there, and she's wearing her cloak from this previous episode in the trailer. So now I don't know what to think. Maybe its right after he rescues her in the next episode? But he has a…

Like I said, I definitely believe you, I'm just curious (because I've seen her referring the Jamie scene so many times) if that's not what she meant. I linked to one of the instances I'm talking about in my previous comment.
