A more recent one, from the most recent episode. I don't hold Jaime kissing Laoghaire against him. I don't think he was taking advantage of her at all, either. Hell, Claire was trying to play matchmaker for those two in the beginning of the episode, and it tanked. And since Jaime saved Laoghaire from a beating for "loose behavior" (I'd like to know just what it was...was she free with her kisses? With whom? Was it more than one Scot? I would think her kissing just one wouldn't be cause to be brought for punishment), Jaime kissing her is not taking advantage. And it wasn't any passion laden embrace, either.
I'm so with you on this one. Claire and Laoghaire were both saying "Here, direct your sexual frustration towards this one." And so he did.

But you just know that in the show we are going to treated to a FlashForwardBack of the happy couple, Frank & Claire, running out of the church amid tossed flowers and rice. Frank is going to haunt that ceremony the same way Claire's fetch haunted Jamie's wedding to Laoghaire. Or at least, that's my prediction.
Ohhh, I think you're right. I hope you're right. That's too good of an image to pass up.

When did Geillis go back in time? I seem to remember it being in the 1960's or 70's, so that the way she wears clothes, including her scarf seems to reflect that period -- burgeoning women's movement, feminism, free love, etc. -- more to me as opposed to Claire who traveled back in the 1940's.
Maybe I'm wrong and she went back earlier, but something about that "fact" has stuck in my head.
I haven't gone back and looked but I think Geillis went back in 1967 or 1968. I know that she went no earlier than 1969 because Brianna was back in the US to watch the moon landing on TV.

I have never watched ANY show over and over and over again like I'm doing with this series! During the podcast my eyes are on Jamie almost exclusively. Someone said this show has turned them into a 14 year old girl again - my sentiments exactly!
I used to watch episodes of Doctor Who and Veronica Mars over and over again but I thought I had outgrown such obsessiveness. It turns out that I just needed the right show to come along. I wonder how many times I'll watch the first eight episodes during the hiatus.

But I totally get what you mean about it taking you out of the story. I was just reading a similar incredibly pedantic :) discussion on Ravelry about the knitwear on the show. It's all lovely but highly anachronistic. I'm sure to most people it evokes a feeling of old-fashioned and/or rustic, but if you know much about knitting or historical costumes it's a jolt to see chunky cowls, etc. on an 18th-century character. I think the show sometimes chooses to evoke a certain mood rather than be completely accurate, and that's fine except when it's within your area of expertise and is a distraction instead of an enhancement.
I'm not an expert in historical dress but my knitting background is enough to know that the chunky knits just read WRONG to me. I do know that Claire's arm warmers are pretty accurate, though. I should probably get back into the Outlander group on Ravelry now that we have the show. I poked around in it when I first joined (seven years ago) but then got sucked into other groups.

If anyone ever finds that Starz has provided an RSS feed for the podcast, could you post it here? I prefer to get all of my podcasts through a podcatcher instead of having to remember to go download it separately.

I listened to Ron Moore's podcast for this last night. It included his wife, the costume designer. She provided a lot of insight on the choices for costumes, if you are interested in more details. You can find a link for the download on this page: http://outlandishobservations.blogspot.com/2014/08/ron-moores-podcast-of-episode-102.html
Does anyone know if there's an RSS feed for the podcast? I'd rather not have to download each episode individually each week.

Watching Lindsay's marriage is interesting considering that the whole show started by stating how bored her sister was going to become in her marriage while the wedding was still happening. Both women appear to have entered into the marriages that they thought that they're supposed to have while Gretchen and Jimmy insist that they're not having a relationship yet the show continues to show how well-suited they are.

Well, "viruses from porn sites" was literally the key plot point of the pilot of NBC's Chuck, an 8pm show.
But not because a woman was looking at the porn. Because god forbid that a woman seek out her own pleasure.

I'm liking this show a little more with each episode. When they premiered, I was in for Married based on the cast and figured I'd also try You're the Worst while I was at it. While I certainly enjoyed this week's episode of Married much more than the first two, You're the Worst has been consistently great for all three episodes. Aya Cash needs to be hired more often.

Are we even certain that the actor is a "white guy"? His IMDB profile just says that he's British.
Kassianides sounds Greek to me.

I'm torn about the Quinns. On the one hand, I think it's great and I've loved the whole storyline. On the other hand, I think it's why I'm having problems with Mariana. She's the one who seems the most like a sister to Callie and Jude and they just don't seem to really know what to do with her outside of those sibling relationships. I like Mariana a lot, certainly more than Jesus, I just wish that they'd come up with something better for her to do while Callie and Jude are off in another storyline.
I think what it comes down to is that other than Callie, and to a lesser extent, Jude, I prefer everyone in stories that involve the Adams Foster household more than the outside world.-

I just learned that there is an actor named Michael Kelly and that he is not Zeljko Ivanek.

I don't think that's why Mariana voted against Tia. She voted against Tia because she thought that that was what Caitlin wanted. IMO everything we've seen Mariana do re: the dance team (e.g. dying her hair blond, throwing a party, espousing vaguely racist sentiments) has been connected to her wanting desperately to fit in and be accepted by the group.
It's also why she changed her vote to Tia so quickly. She just wants to fit in and figured that the group would go back to including Caitlin's friend after they previously turned her down in favor of Mariana. She just wants to fit in but they keep changing the rules on her and so she's stumbling all over herself. I was definitely like Mariana in that way, especially in middle school and maybe early high school.

Benji and Misty made the show for me tonight. Benji with his actual West Coast swing choreography and not some watered down contemporary version of it and his dig about how sometimes a dance can just be a dance without some ridiculous theme tacked on. Then there was Misty with her legitimately constructive criticism. I want them to be around all of the time.

Yes, Lady Edith! I was always on her team, so to speak, since the very beginning but she's definitely become more awesome since WWI and Sybil's death. She went from "Look! I can follow all of the rules of society! I will marry whomever the heir is and save the family! Won't someone just love me?" to making her own rules and giving exactly zero fucks over what society said that she should do. Lady Edith might be the number one bad ass.

I also agree with wanting Toby back. And also Wilke.
Yes, Wilke. The Carrie Diaries was cancelled so he might be available. They need to get him back, even if it's just for a three-episode guest arc. If nothing else, I love his name sign and want to see it more often.

My problem with this episode was that I spent the whole thing worrying about it being a huge parole violation for Callie. The idea of Lena and Stef leaving five kids alone in the house while one of them is a foster child on parole whose custody status in currently up in the air was just a bit too much for me to look past. Not even Wyatt's hair could distract me from the fact that I couldn't buy into the basic premise of this episode.

Catty - I don't know if she was terrified or what but Jill winning was the worst possible outcome for me. Her voice was absolute nails on a chalkboard.
For me, it wasn't her voice that annoyed me, it was her weird hand gestures.

If Paris Hilton's performance could have been as self-aware as her Supernatural episode (without necessarily having to be herself), that might have saved Credit Where Credit is due. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Therefore, my vote is:
Credit Where Credit is Due

The Girl Next Door (I find this episode too depressing, even for Veronica Mars)
Lord of the Bling (never quite worked for me)

Speaking of S2...I also hold the UO of adoring Gia.
I first fell in love with Krysten Ritter because of Gia/Veronica Mars and have loved her in pretty much everything else I've seen her in. Gia's not perfect but I love her.

I've seen it happen. I remember back in our TWOP days many of us complaining about a contestant who did that. It seemed like poor sportsmanship.
I kind of wonder if part of why it doesn't feel right is the same as why jumping around the board doesn't. It's more fun to watch if the game goes along in an orderly fashion and if you actually get to see all of the clues. Of course, the home viewer isn't trying to win a bunch of money and I've come to appreciate good strategy almost as much as just knowing a lot of stuff.

Yes, that is indeed Kerr Smith - I remember him as Jack on DC. I knew immediately by the stricken look on his face when Callie was talking, and the way he was staring at her, that he would turn out to be her bio father. So he must have been a young guy (early to mid 20s?) when he left Callie's mom. Great casting for the role of the younger half-sister. She certainly looks a lot like actress MM.
It might say something about how much ABC Family shows go for the shocking cliffhanger ending that I knew that whoever's order Callie was taking at the end of the show was going to be her bio dad before we even saw his face.
