I switched from Chrome to Firefox JUST because of the ads on this site.  Apparently, Chrome and ADBlock don't play nicely together.

No need to apologize, just it's confusing sometimes to see it spelled differently. Sent me down a rabbit hole to see if the character is spelled that way somewhere in the books, etc. I'm old too. 😉

I spell it -- JAIME - on purpose because I like they way it looks.

Jamie technically resigned his commission. I guess that really isn't abandoning. Who is going to track him down in the middle of the war? We know who wins, but the Yanks are barely hanging on by a thread, and that last battle where Claire got shot was only a draw. I don't know if they could press him back into service like the British did with Lord John. 

We knew the Brits left Philadelphia fast on the city, but they're not that far away. I could buy that they think Claire is married to Lord John still, and at that point, after the battle, she's not that high a priority, but plenty of them saw Jamie there with Lord John. It's just an odd way to leave it unless it's coming back. Regardless of all that, just not having it come up on conversation is odd. 

Which, really, inevitably when Claire gets in trouble the next time, I could easily see her telling Jamie to find Lord John and get the marriage license. 

Yorktown is in 1781. I don't know what year it is now on the show now or how far past the Revolution they're going. 

I actually remember the 200 year old baby prophecy! Totally forgot it was on Jamaica though. 

Jamie is actually the 200 year old baby because he doesn't die and will be King of Scotland. 

Besides knowing who won in the end, I don't know the details of these battles. It's been 50 years since I studied the period.

I guess Jamie was free to quit but given how many times he was pushed into service, I didn't realize he could tell them to take this job and shove it.

Claire has been roaming Scotland and the early Americas for a long time. Peeing in a bedside bucket would not bother her in the least.  And after that fake bit of shyness, she and Jamie talk about sex when she hasn't washed her hiney or hands. 

I don't know how long after the initial surgery this scene was depicted, but she's been bed panning it for a while.

Sorry, I was typing on a MacBook Air and this forum nearly kills it with all the ads.

Same on the phone when the video pops up in the corner.

He doesn't die ever. That's not a ghost. It's really him. 

Out of curiosity - what would be the point of him coming to the future just before Claire goes to the past - is gone for 3 years - and spends  the next 20 with Frank?  While Jamie wanders around mid 20th century Scotland? Looking like he did as a young man?

Free love?

Well maybe Jamie finally decides to try time travel and he thinks about Claire and winds up in 1945?  and wants to see her with Frank because he's never seen Frank and he has to wonder if he broke up a happy marriage?  Just spitballing here.   If he's a ghost why would he visit that time to say goodbye to Claire?  She wouldn't even recognize him
