The Ravens Three

This ep was great. I almost peed watching Murtaugh dance. I didn't like Claire agreeing to marry Dougal, but I see why they choose it.

That's what I meant. I liked it because though I've never been pregnant, I have Had friends who were and they described the experience in a similar way(less eloquently). I just think it is a nice intimate piece of prose.

I liked this ep. I think The Watch and Lallybroch have seemed like interim eps because I know what's coming and I'm interested in seeing how everything will play with BJ, so I would like to rewatch them because there are real good moments in them. Jaime and his father in Lallybroch, Ian and Jamie and Jenny and Claire in this ep. Side note, I like that DG reiterated that BJ is a sadist and not gay. I often got that reading from it too, but was afraid she didn't. I loved that they kept the dialogue where Jenny talks about birth. I never got a creepy vibe from it like some, I Liked the way it made birth primal and intimate.

I think this episode I spent a lot of time trying to compare the book verses the show, to my detriment. I need to rewatch it and not compare what I read to what I'm watching. I know that this part of the book is where the exposition hits the fan and I know that all these sequences really are just a way for Jamie and Claire to lay their cards on the table which is Claire telling Jamie the truth about where she's from and then Jamie taking her to Lallybroch and it's interesting to see how they have to edit for time and pacing. I'm so excited to see Claire tell Jaime the truth that's the part that I'm looking forward to. Also Sam Heughan is so hot when he sword fights.
