I thought it was a solid debut. The battle was well done but not so gory I couldn't stand it. Jamie set his mind to die on the battlefield and is disappointed he didn't; which is very true to the book.
I liked the relationship of Claire and Frank; they are trying but there are just so many barriers between. I thought her wanting to become an American citizen made sense. She doesn't want her child to be English as they are the ones who murdered her husband and his way of life. And I think Frank realizes that as long as she still thinks of the baby as Scottish instead of English, it will never really be his no matter what she says.
Oh, the misogyny was laid on thick, but it's probably not far from the truth. Almost expected the doctor to be smoking a cigarette in her room as he basically tells Claire to lay back and shut up. UGH.
Looking forward to more. Wondering how long before the reunion!
