Fuck this episode. I was pretty close to an ugly cry. Also, I'm tired of Sophie Skelton. She got better, but she stopped improving pretty rapidly and by far and away the worst actor on the show.

That was a great episode. Loved it.

It will be Jamie, just as it was Dougal's responsibility, Jamie will take it as his.

The series has lost the charm of the books (a lot of which *was* the minutia of 18th century frontier life and the struggles of the modern crew to settle in) and it won't be long now before cancellation. Probably season 6, then done. Things never go well when the actors become producers.

I've always hated this. The majority of the Scots in America (they were the majority population at the time of the revolution) fought on the side of the British. They'd no interest in losing again to the king. I did love the fact that Jamie went all laird right in front of the redcoats though. You could see them thinking "Personal fealty...was not what the Governor had in mind..."

No viewership here unless they do Elisa Marie.

That short bit with Saxe, Tameika and Tasha was one of the funniest scenes in Power. Everyone sold it. "Why is this day fucking me so hard?" "What is wrong with him?" "So many things."

I remain solely invested in the story of Elisa Marie. Fuck everyone else.

The only spinoff show I want is Elisa Marie's. Everyone else can just go. California, Hell, wherever. Just go.

The Saga of Proctor's Daughter is the only sequel I have any interest in whatsoever. Her parents were both shady fuckers, but she's Girl Bruce Wayne.

I'm not going to lie. I hate watched this show faithfully for some time. There was not one redeeming character on it.

Jesus Christ. All the feels. I have no idea why, but I guess I loved Proctor a little bit. And Ghost and Tommy - frenemies for a while.

New York is a one party consent state, but I'm not sure how that works if the consenting party is dead.

Right? With all the dead people who were never burned. I mean...seriously? Prediction: Jon becomes Azor Ahai and the wielder of Lightbringer (?) by killing !Wight!Ned.

My biggest problem is that the audience did not fall in love with Ian. So his dramatic adoption into the Mohawk tribe is not going to be as poignant as it should be. He should have been a much, much bigger player this season so we could love him.

The books in the end are ALL ABOUT Bree and Roger. They've been the main characters for quite some time. Rik Rankin was great casting, but not casting Bree properly will destroy the series. Cat and Sam have no right to be angry at all if they didn't read the source material and know what they were signing on for.

Jesus Christ Rik Rankin. That was some top tier acting across the board. Fuuuuck. The rest of the episode was semi-whatever, though was sort of "hmmm" about Lord John covering for the regulators. You know he did it for Jamie though because Murtagh and Fergus are who they are. But it really, really compromises him, and I'm not sure I like that. I, for one, think it's waaaay more dramatic in the book. I still don't understand why I don't loathe Steven Bonnett. Maybe it's just the actor. Anyway, one of the better episodes of the season for me. I was riveted and it's been ultra-rare this season that's happened.

Her entire face was broken out. Maybe she's allergic to the makeup or something, who knows. That stuff's terrible. At any rate, I hated this episode. It fell entirely flat and was not at all good for me. And. The Wig. I think we fuss too much about it. All of humanity with the exception of the past 5 generations was brought up with pregnant women who were soused, 24x7. The water wasn't safe to drink unless it had an alcohol content - and people knew that. We got along juuuuust fine.

He did though. He basically said she lied about the whole thing and was a damn whore and jumping to the worst conclusions possible about *her*. THAT is why she's mad at him, not the misunderstanding. I can't believe everyone's missing that.

Good episode. I finally don't hate Sophie, it's official. I am still not happy with her monotone, wooden delivery, but otherwise, she's fine.

They were ranking members of the nobility of the kingdom to which Jamie is both subject and former traitor. Of course they were special... Ian has never been supposed to be innocent. He lost his virginity at a brothel at Fergus' urging when he was just 14. And you recall the "Good, you'll know what to do then." part of the Bakra scene with Geillis who was not entirely upset that he wasn't virginal. Or rather upset at all.

Thank you!! I feel terribly sorry for a lot of husbands, boyfriends, and SOs if I'm being honest...

I finally understand Sophie Skelton. The side by side profile shots of her next to Sam made it crystal clear. I loved this episode. Pretty much all of it.

I always thought "You bastard!" at that. He never told Claire or gave any indication that he was going to! He was condemning her to a life without children without consulting her! And this was back in the day when it was *always* the woman's fault there would be no babies.

Seeing ribs is not an indicator of ill health. Rather quite the opposite, unless you see them at the clavicle. I thought Sophie was beautiful.
