His glancing at Claire's boobs when she says she is a nurse only to look a wee bit embarrassed when she snaps "Not a wet nurse!" Is funny. His declaring the cold, wet night to be a "fine time" for a ride is funny.

WatchrTina August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 (edited) I love all the Jamie-is-hot and Jamie-is-charming moments in the first two episodes but what I particularly liked in episode 102 is Jamie's change in attitude during the scene where he volunteers to take the beating. He really is a bit too big for his britches (if he were wearing any) at the beginning of that scene. That smile and swagger are asking for trouble. And he gets it, which you see him realizing with increasing clarity after each hit. The look he shoots Dougal after he bows to Colum . . . oooohh if looks could kill!

WatchrTina August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 I figure if I watch it with CC the first time around then I can enjoy the second viewing without it That's exactly what I do. I do the same thing for Downton Abbey due to the accents and I used to do the same thing for Deadwood (though in that case it was because the writing was so exceptional I did not want to miss a word.) And the closed captions came in verra helpful for the stable scene since Sam had to eat heartily during a good part of the dialog. That had to be tricky for him. Cait, I noticed, avoided the issue by taking teeny-tiny bites.

You must have loved that last shot of Claire after Mrs. Fitz dressed her. She's back-lit by light from the window and her hair looks really bad -- frizzing all around her. Which is, of course, very true to the books, but surprising in a TV show. And yes, Jamie's hair was less than awesome in the scene where he volunteered to take the beating. It was looking, dare I say it, rather mop-like. And let's not even dwell on how it got that long in the two or three days since he arrived at Leoch. It was markedly shorter on the ride during the first episode. I wonder if that scene from episode 2 had to be re-shot for some reason? I suspect Sam is letting his hair grow out (as Jamie's did in the book) since all the episodes are being shot essentially in order (blocks of two x 8 directors). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12613-james-alexander-malcolm-mackenzie-fraser/#findComment-301144

I actually didn't even notice because it just fitted the scene. I usually get rather annoyed when characters on TV wake up in the morning with perfect hair and having had their faces done by some fairy make-up godmother while they were sleeping (that includes the men). It's the unrealistic stuff that stands out for me. I have to admit I chuckled at Claire's hair when she got out of bad and tried to eat her broth though. Made me really glad I chopped my hair off a few months ago because that was a sight I was very familiar with ;-) On a more practical note, I guess the hair stylists on set are glad about the time-saving realism considering the humidity on location. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12613-james-alexander-malcolm-mackenzie-fraser/#findComment-302381
