I'm not understanding how to post about this show. We just started watching it...from the end. Season 9, Episode 1.

anyone know where I can find info on the people who make up the evacuation team? (Esp red-headed guy!)

I have been bored silly by this season. But this episode was so so beautiful in terms of cinematography and acting and the way the story unfolded...Westworld got me hooked again!

yeah, I think it's just because he's missing from most of the main plot/action. I tend to skim, I must admit ;)

Not sure how to do spoiler tags...

My fiance hasn't read the books so he didn't know Geillis would be showing up again. His commentary while watching that scene: <bloody foot> what the... <rest of her emerging> hey now! <sees who it is> ...what?! Geillis! Yes! It is ON!

I'm ready for this season to end. I am not feeling it with Fergus and Marsali. Blandness squared, imo. I'm in this for Claire and Jamie, I must admit. I'm anxious to get to Roger and Bri and the ridge story lines. Something funny: my partner was walking in and out of the room as I was watching this episode. At the end, when, um, turtle soup was happening, he paused in the doorway and then said, "Hey, rewind that part!" ;)

Yeah. I still (mostly) enjoy the show. But I've always thought Sam "cheated" his head/face too much in scenes and it became a drinking game for me ;) However, I think this series is a good place for him to grow his craft.

ok so I watched it and managed to plug my ears while the vomiting was going on. My fiance helped me with the timing ;) I think the conversation here about Sam's acting is so interesting! You all are so insightful! I wonder too if there is some anxiety about the rabid fandom for his character. Do you think that plays into it as well? Does he feel constrained not just by the writing but by the anxiety to please fans while also honing his craft? Just musing out loud, er, in type. Personal note: I've been letting my grays grow out and my fiance (who is 10yrs younger than I am) told me the other day how he liked all the different colors in my hair. And then to have Jamie tell Claire he liked her grays! My fiance turned to me and said, 'SEE?!' :)

I am so so glad that I read these threads *before* watching the episodes. I have emetophobia. I think I might give this one a miss.

I'm still feeling like C and J's "chemistry" is off. I don't mean that they are conveying how complicated it would be to come back together after 20 years. I mean, it feels flat between them. They are both great actors. I see them working LOL I don't know...maybe it's the writing? Or maybe it's the source material (this book)? I'm just not feeling it the way I felt it Season 1 or even Season 2.

I read the 1st three books years ago and am catching up on the show. I've been reading these forums like a madwoman! Something I'm curious about: Thanks!
