  1. The year is 1980. Corporal punishment was banned in the UK in 1982. He lost consciousness due to ether and fell to the floor in a house that then immediately exploded into flames. Unless they pull a stunt, that's unsurvivable. The smoke, the heat, the flames, and he wasn't even awake to save himself. She clearly did expect resistance. Just not being locked in a tunnel. That's extra.
  2. He blackmailed Chief Lovett into letting Beth back into the Historical Society by mentioning that she took an extended leave of absence from work in 2016 and threatening to use his father's contacts to find out what that was about. Before that, he tried to blackmail her with a hit-and-run incident in 2009, but that didn't work because it was her neighbour's cat and she and the neighbour had worked it out at the time. Hope that you feel better!
  3. Considerate of those Grims to attack Nick one at a time. ;)
  4. And they have a baby daughter, now. He already was angry last season in "The Hour of the Wolf" for most of the episode and resolved it with Kaheroton. He's over it by now. At least the anger stage. Not the sadness stage, as Emily noted. At least until he saw Swiftest of Lizards. Just knowing the child exists is a silver lining for Ian. He seems to have had catharsis and now be more ready to begin the next chapter of his life, ex. with Rachel.
  5. I'd attribute that to her only experience of sex up to that point having been non-consenusal sex with her brother. Same for her questions to Claire about women being supposed to enjoy sex or not.
  6. I would've checked the bushes. I went much farther the two times I searched for our cat when we couldn't find her inside the house (but she was somewhere in the house, hiding).
  7. Given that Ian said his being informed he had to leave the Mohawk happened very suddenly one day, and that Emily's grandmother told him he needed to return to his people for his spirit to be whole, I'd venture he was told to leave because Emily was pregnant with his child and they hoped returning to his people would strengthen his spirit so that the child would be born healthy. (Incidentally, Swiftest of Lizards was their third pregnancy, not their second) Yes, Claire mentioned in the beginning of her letter that the lieutenant was not a qualified doctor, and Denzel later said he (Denzel) was the one there who had a degree in a medicine. So he was just an officer with pretensions of surgeonhood. And it didn't much sense in this case. She said maybe they didn't want to know how Fort Ticonderoga turned out, but obviously the Frasers survived in order to get to Scotland and leave the box with the bank. Another boy said that Jemmy, Mandy and Bree were going to burn in Hell for being Catholics, and Jemmy said, "See you there" like Roger had taught him. He said it in Gaelic, so his teacher said, "We speak English in this classroom" and shook him and called the headmaster, who gave him the belt on the hand three times. Apparently, the stigma from when the English made Gaelic illegal remains. My Dad got the belt on two occasions as a Scottish schoolboy, but not for speaking Gaelic, and it was the 1940s.
  8. We saw the chest being delivered to Fiona's home at the beginning of the episode. She obviously contacted them and asked them to come. The bank would have had instructions to deliver it on a certain date. The bank accounts were mentioned in the episode. People explained in the thread for the previous episode how it would be relatively easy to get birth certificates and SSNs for Jemmy and Mandy in that decade.
  9. It seemed like his resentment from her decision to quit going to Bible study just before that was carrying over, even though those two things have nothing to do with each other.
  10. Yes, her name is Rachel, not Mary. We don't know how quick it was, we didn't see it. I agree. It annoys me when in fiction a child says they met a monster or something like that and their parents assume it was completely made up instead of considering that, while of course it's not really a monster, maybe they met a shifty person instead and thought it was a monster. Like when in Resident Alien a boy tells his mother there's an alien under his bed and she just accuses him of lying and leaves Without. Even. Looking. Under. It. If she had, she would have seen "Harry" in his human disguise because most people can't see his real face, but she would have seen there really was a person under her son's bed. I would never neglect to check these things if I were a parent.
  11. That's an ongoing mystery, since they ended up scattered. Perhaps they didn't coordinate their thoughts well enough, or should have used rope like Bree and Roger did. When Wendigo said, "I never even made it to where I was supposed to go", did he mean the wrong year or that he never got the opportunity to travel to a physical location either he or the whole group was supposed to walk to after going through the stones? Otter Tooth appears to have gone to the time he wanted in order to warn people, but the people didn't listen to him.
  12. It could be that you go somewhere random when you're not thinking of anything in particular or that Claire and Jaime have a bond that reaches across space and time, but it's entirely possible she was thinking about the era her husband's ancestor lived in, since they were there to research it.
  13. Geillis went to the specific time she wanted, thanks to sacrificing her husband. Bree went to the time she wanted when she followed Claire by thinking of Claire and Roger went to the time he wanted when he followed Bree by thinking of Bree. They stayed in the 18th century when they were thinking about the 18th century. They have no better option than to hope it will work, and even then they worried multiple times about it and didn't just trust it would work.
  14. Ava beat me to it. Because he's the only close doctor friend of Claire's we've seen.
  15. They're living in Boston (at least until they buy Lallybroch, apparently). Roger said to Brianna that they'd ration out the remaining letters when they got back to Boston. They must have only gone to Scotland to open the box after Fiona contacted them. Thank you. Yes, Larkin was in Black Sails as Captain Berringer, I remember reading about the family reunion at the time.
  16. It's my recollection of that thread that people pointed out it would be quite easy.
  17. After seeing Adso in the preview when I took a look last night before my and family I watched it today, I fast forwarded to make sure he was going to be okay. My Mom needs to be warned if any animals are going to be hurt in a show. I don't think she should be astonished by anything at this point.
  18. At the very least, I would have expected Ra's to be the man behind the man. I could not. Good point. I think NexStar's "new direction" has more to do with it than high standards.
  19. I should hope so; most people I know still have landlines in addition to their cellphones.
  20. They didn't have the rights to use Dick, Jason, Tim or Damian so they created a composite character. When I went here right after the finale aired the page was filled with people upset about the cancellation: https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/gotham knights?sort=recent But obviously not enough. It's disappointing there was so little good word of mouth about such a good show. It turned out way better than the previews made it look.
  21. Only people who can hear the stones buzzing can use them, which is hereditary. Jamie can't go through the stones at all.
  22. Presumably they did. Most of their ancestors weren't in a position to use it.
  23. And Geillis and Dougal's son presumably inherited it from one time travelling parent, Geillis, and then generations of MacKenzies in Roger's paternal line inherited it until you get to Roger. Then Jemmy seems to have extra abilities because he inherited it on both sides.
