A more pragmatic reason is that the woods are full of guards so it would be hard to slip by undetected. Jamie tells Claire that Colum wouldn't leave his castle completely unprotected with all of the clansmen inside and drunk to boot.

Where was it shown that he was descended from Colum?

Isn't there something in one of the earlier books about Brianna having a birthmark behind her ear? It's one of the woowoo dreams that Jamie has.

Well, that particular Scottish tradition is what was corrupted by the KKK in their crossburnings. I think that the producers were smart to use a Celtic cross. They said that they figured it would disturb people less.

Amazon Prime has all these channels that you can subscribe to, one of which is Starz. Because I have Starz through AP, I was unaware that there was pay-per-view Starz content available.

Claire and Brianna discussed Frank briefly, while Claire was helping her dress.

I think that was intentional to show us that Jamie and Claire never got to raise a baby together and never had to deal with such things. It was sweet.

She owns slaves - that's the main reason they don't want her money. They also don't want to be beholden to her, because she isn't entirely trustworthy. Yes. She was testing his character. He might be better off in a city. It's the wilderness, more than the year, that is his problem right now. I liked the episode a lot. I realized that it's the first Outlander episode in a while that didn't piss me off. Except the house. That pisses me off.

Sweet! That means it's available at 9pm on the west coast! Edit: Actually, it's available now!

I love Brianna's dress but my god, Claire's hair is tragic.

The way I understand it (vaguely, I admit) is that His/Her Royal Highness aren't titles. They're styles. They will no longer style themselves as, for exaple, His Royal Highness, Harry, the Duke of Sussex. Instead he'll just be the Duke of Sussex. More or less.

I only saw the first 30 minutes or so but I was vaguely amused. My biggest problem here is that I don't give shit one for Alice in the best of times. Angsty, depressed Alice is too much to bear. Although, I have to say that the actress killed it when Alice opened the door and saw Julia. The way her face fell was subtle and perfect.

Or, they did it to get ahead of the speculation by getting some facts out there.

Maybe once we see the season, it will make sense but for now I am extremely perplexed. There are all kinds of interesting early American ways they could have gone but choral music? I'm not seeing it. Edit: Is someone other than Bear McCreary doing the music now? Another edit: No, he's credited on IMDB. I want to know his rationale for the change before I judge it harshly.

I wonder if that's the cross they're going to burn and I wonder if its elaborate design is intended to reduce the ick factor of the burning cross.

According to the costume designer, that's intentional. Her clothes ARE going to be a big different from what everyone else is wearing. Even clothes that she has made there are chosen/influenced by her modern aesthetic. Look at the Dior-styled suit she wore in Paris, for instance. She would have worked with a dressmaker to make that outfit and we can see the 20th century clear as day.

I'm not sure if this is made clear in the show, but I know that it's at least mentioned. He's trying to separate his identities. He doesn't want people to know Jamie Fraser, Smuggler is the same person as Alexander Malcolm, Printer and Purveyor of Treasonous Documents. And he does have living space in the print shop.

Depressing, but probably accurate.

There was a whole episode devoted to it in season 2.

The music isn't quite right in this episode. "Squeeze Box" was released in 1975 and those two met in 1973.

They are already shooting season 4.

That might be the point. This was going on right under MI-5's noses and they missed it. They needed to be told by folks who were clear across the ocean.

I'm just curious - are you British? As an American, I can see now that Charles and Diana's wedding should never have happened. Charles was basically forced into it and was not allowed to marry the woman of his choosing. Also, Diana was not only not a saint, she was far from being a saint. I used to hate Charles for what I thought he did to Diana but the more I learn about it, the easier it is to forgive him and be happy that he finally found happiness with the woman he always loved.

Well, both of Charles' parents are living well into their 90's so it's not unreasonable to assume that he could be king for a good twenty years, maybe more. He's only 71 now. I think that when William succeeds him is when we'll really see a lot of change. Well, I probably won't see it because I'm old but I imagine that things will be increasingly modernized in a William & Kate reign. .

Sam Heughan and Tobias Menzies also show up in that show. It's wild.
