BitterApple Saturday at 05:19 PM Share Saturday at 05:19 PM I love this show, but all these near-deaths that are meant to be shocking aren't having much emotional impact any more. We know Claire isn't going to die, just like we know Jamie really didn't go down with the ship. I just roll my eyes at this point. I'm curious to see where Brianna and the kids end up. One thing has me confused though. When Buck and Roger were talking about their family lineage, Buck refers to himself as Roger's great-grandfather. Wouldn't he be Roger's great-great or great-great-great? With 200 years separating their births, surely there's more than one generation between them? 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151305-s0715-written-in-my-own-heart%E2%80%99s-blood/#findComment-8546386

When Denny came in with the basket of cheese, she said something to the effect of Roquefort and penicillin.

DoctorAtomic Yest. at 03:09 AM Share Yest. at 03:09 AM I'm sliding in on a Sunday! You forget how long the show's been on with all those battle flashbacks. Kudos to the editors. Kudos to the makeup artists too because Claire looked like a baby back then. Was the opening tease supposed to be Frank and Bree looking at the portrait of Jamie? I suppose it's worth the wait of about about ten years for the show to finally get into the cool time travel stuff. Going back to our history discussion from last week, did you all learn about Monmouth? (It was a draw but the kind of draw where the USA goes into the Estadio Azteca and takes a point). I'm surprised Claire actually didn't say anything. Of course, whatever the outcome of the battle, Jamie himself may not have survived. I've said before, I don't care for Jamie being an actual General of the Revolution in terms of the plot. It's not like the author was changing the outcome of the Revolution, so what's there new to mine? Given they showed Frank's book, I can buy Claire knowing a lot more than average about the Revolution, which we also talked about last week. I totally buy Claire being war-weary, but we know what happens. Unless she didn't know the outcome of the battle? I'm just not clear (ha!) on her 'this feels different'. She explained to Jamie what was happening with the Revolution ages ago. It's not like either of them are in real danger. I was surprised show-wise that Claire got shot because you'd think it would have been Jamie. Of course Hunter was sent away already. There's only two doctors in the entire Revolution. That said, it was exciting and suspenseful, and Lafayette still comes to the rescue! With his cheese! Something to be said that you know the characters are going to pull through and you're still right there in the moment. Buck continues to steal the show. Him and Roger are absolutely gold. And Buck knows way more about time travel than anyone. So smart to just 'send' a letter to Bree. I wish they actually said what was in the letter. Bree taking two kids back is massively shortsighted. She should have left the kids with their friends and go herself. For once, Claire mouthing off about being part of the medics really sold me. Watching her run the triage, and completely ignoring the sexist buffoon was excellent. I mean, not for nothing, Dr. Hunter is totally her gay bff, no? I was hoping we'd get a more tempered William. Three weeks worth of pissiness is getting to be much. I also don't care about his whore plot, even though I'm pro-whore. Who killed Harkness? I didn't even know he was dead. I have zero interest in his plot with Jane, and it brings nothing additional to the show when you have Bree, Roger, and Buck being sidelined. I suspect it's been the upping of the pace of the show, but they've really been bringing it all around. 8 hours ago, jacourt said: Remember Claire scrapping something off the Roquefort cheese at the dinner? Now they make a point of having some. Maybe there is something in the covering of the cheese that saves her. When Rachel said the cheese was Roquefort, Claire said 'penicillin'. Credit to the writers, Claire and Hunter doing the exploratory surgery earlier this season, the guy is literally the most skilled in-time doctor of his time. They can easily make an antibiotic out of the cheese. We all know Claire is pulling through; I'm crediting the writing for laying it all out for us to buy in at this point. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151305-s0715-written-in-my-own-heart%E2%80%99s-blood/#findComment-8547536

I so am not interested in Willie, and it was Jane who killed Harkness. She confessed that to Willie last episode? Or the one where she shows up with her sister and tells him why/how she killed him. He was going to rape Fanny. 4 minutes ago, taanja said: I was thinking the whole time -- I KNOW Claire isn't going to die -- but how in hell will she survive?

Well, there was anesthesia-Claire created it, remember? I'm sure she brought some with her; of course, I don't think I saw it being used-just giving Claire, alcohol? Or whatever it was to knock her out. And Denzell, when he finally showed up, did wash his hands and sterilize the instruments. Sure the conditions aren't sterile, but they weren't in the field hospitals at that time all the way through early 20th century. They did the best they could.

He's also experienced in the exploratory surgery from before too. We all know Claire is going to be fine, but at least the plotting holds up.

I knew Claire wasn't/isn't going to die. Did they still have any ether left? They've been gone from the Ridge a long time and they've been using the stuff on wounded soldiers. Um sorry! before antibiotics - just washing hands was NOT sterile. And I don't care how much mold is in that cheeses -- it's not really the right kind to make penicillin. But hey - Whatever. Like I said -- Plot armor and the fact that she is freaking narrating the whole story means NO WAY is Claire dying! No! Way!

I read the book it was based on, Washington’s Spies by Alex Rose (nonfiction) and was delightfully surprised when one of my ancestors popped up as someone who helped the cause. Who knows?
