I enjoyed the episode, but I'm hoping this won't be anywhere near the best episode for the season!! I think that there was just a lot to cover in an hour, and some of the passion and connections between characters seemed to get a little lost. Also, what the heck is it with the ring?? Why did they change it to Claire swallowing the silver ring that Jamie gave her, to making it so she swallowed the gold ring from Frank, and therefore lost Jamie's ring!? That was kind of a big thing for me in the books....so it really stood out for me that they had her lose Jamies ring...I mean, that is how Brianna ends up getting involved in the situation with Bonnet, and a lot happens because of her seeing the engraving on the gold ring from Frank to Claire....I guess Brianna knows what Jamie's ring looks like as well, but I just don't get why they changed it in the show...hopefully there is a reason for it later on!! I understand that they need to change things from the book to the show, but this just seems like a weird thing to change....bc fans of the books will most definitely notice it right away!
Anyways, while I wasn't blown away by the first episode, I wasn't disappointed either, so I'm excited to watch the rest of the season!!
