I just watched this morning! Loved the shout outs!

Any Crazy Ex Girlfriend fans? Some fun Outlander references on last night’s episode!

I actually assumed the same thing, especially since so much of it was older than he expected it to be.

Oh god I forgot about that!

1922

No I don’t think so. Roger is descended from Dougal and Geillis and while Geillis did travel backward, Roger descended traditionally from then on. As far as we know only Brianna fits the prophecy of being born 200 years after conceived.

I could live with that!

I would love that too. I do wonder, though, that the Campbell’s know Claire as Mrs. Malcom and whether that will come into play.

WatchrTina I pretty much agree with your whole post! Yes thought it was a very solid episode and a good way to burn through material, tie a lot of plot points, and add some new stuff in that actually makes sense. Well done. Also the first episode that had held my non book reader husband’s interest in weeks. Loved how they faded Lotte’s hair color. Exactly how my red-headed mother’s hair aged.

I thought fire too! Although using the glass as a weapon could be useful too.

Overall I thought it was pretty good. High praise from me considering most of this part of Voyager is up there among my least favorite in all of Outlander. I laughed when I saw the turtle title card....RIP turtle. And while the jungle trek went on a bit long, I didn’t think it was overly so. Loved the wedding, and the turtle soup scene was excellent. Made me want to send the kids away for the weekend and spend it drunk with my husband! Lol. I am probably the only one but I thought the reunion on the beach, complete with running toward each other as the music swells was cheesy as hell. Sam, (while I do think he is gorgeous) and his over developed pecs didn’t help the harlequin romance feel to it. I love that they kept some of Claire and Marsali’s conversation. I am looking forward to the next 2 eps, especially with Lord John and of course Ian. And I’m sure we have a loooong wait, but very excited for season 4!

So I am already thinking about next season and wondering what we will see/how the show will translate. I’m also thinking about the opening credits because I believe they are the most beautiful opening credits of any show. They took my breath away when I first saw them on season 1 and I love all the changes that are added depending on the season/what is happening. I wonder if next year we will have some fife and drum interspersed?

I’m glad it’s not just me! It feels like they should know but also seems like I can envision when Ian and Jenny are told but can’t picture Fergus being told.

Completely blanking right now. Do Fergus and Marsali ever know the truth about Claire?

Yep! I still have the American Express and Citibank Visa card that I got in college from when they set up tables in the student union. Amex was awesome because if you applied they gave you 2 round trip air fare for continental US for only $99 each! I used mine for spring breaks AND my sister’s (because even thought the ticket was in her name, the airlines didn’t often check ID way back when.

I think the photos were lost right before washing up on shore in Georgia.

Sigh. Of all things to cut! Oh well. I did adore the scene in the moonlight so will pretend it was part of it after all.

I have stayed away from re-reading voyager while the show is airing because I enjoy the show more if the book isn’t fresh. But last night I gave in and read some of the ship portion. Oh how I miss/would love to see show Jamie going through those photos. And saying more about Brianna than, “you miss her, don’t you?” Bizarre to me. I missed his prayers for Claire and the bairne as well. He just seems so disconnected to Brianna and the passage in the book hammered it home to me again. As for the medical stuff, I am fan wanking away that they survive. And if found, they aren’t anachronistic, they are french! Lol

Toward the end of First Wife, Jenny and Ian gave permission for Jamie and Claire to take young Ian off to the coast to the island for the treasure and then on to France to have a bit of parent-sanctioned adventure while they had Jarod help liquidate the treasure. There was never a plan to return to Lallybroch before heading on (the island is off a remote part of Scotland, not near Lallybroch) so they assumed he would be gone for quite a while.

Exactly. I also think the whole thing being so sneaky just made Jamie uncomfortable too. I would bet that had things been different, and they hadn’t had to leave Scotland, Jamie might have gone to bat for Fergus. But I am also betting it wouldn’t have done much good.

If I remember correctly, Fergus doesn’t have a “real” job, is a French son of a whore and wouldn’t be considered a good match by Laoghaire. Jamie is shocked by the whole thing because he knew nothing about it before the ship and I think he knew what Loaghaire would think so rather than incur more of her wrath, and hurt her further, he feels like the match isn’t a good idea. Marsali is also younger in the book.

I may be wrong but I have assumed all along that we will find Murtaugh with Jocasta. He knows her and after his indenture I assumed he would make his way there. Not in the Duncan role necessarily but I’m sure there is some role on her land for him.

It’s funny, sometimes, even most of the time, I think Sam is amazing. And sometimes....not so much. And yeah I wince a bit. I thought this was a really good episode. I’ve never been a huge fan of the ship portion of voyager but enjoyed it. Thought the writer did an excellent job, glad to have a new strong writer in the mix. Does she have any more ep’s this season? Loved all the intimate moments we finally are getting with Jamie and Claire. Love Dr Claire and omg I want Claire’s hat! Her ship-wear is gorgeous. Love Yi Tien Cho and his story. The actor is killing that role. Well done to all involved bringing a controversial character to life. I speculated about there being new credits and am so happy to see they continue to shake them up. Can’t wait to see season 4’s!!!!

So now I am wondering if next week we will get a new opening, much like the split last season when they left France for Scotland. Hmmm...

Rewatching yet again and still chuckling about how very clean Jamie, Claire, and wee Ian are in the opening scene. Shouldn’t they be at least a little bit dusty after several days on the road? Also, why have Jenny ask Claire if she and her american husband had children? Claire doesn’t lie, but why have the exchange at all? Seemed unnecessary to me.
