No, but it was Dougal, the younger brother. Colum is the chieftan, the man with bad legs. So many pairs of names! I know I called Angus by Rupert's name the first three episodes, and I read the book...

Arg, I knew I had written the wrong name! Anyway, did that happen in the book? I don't remember it, but I read the first part of the book over a year ago...

It's been a while since I read the first book but I don't think that happened. Dougal in the books is married at this point in the novel. I wanted to do a reread but lent my copy to a friend.

IIRC, (who knows) it becomes a factor, but much farther down the line. Foreshadowing?

Gillian wrote:I never read the books, but I want to give the show a shot because I enjoy watching stories like this more than reading them.  I've only seen the first episode so far, but yeah, I think I like her husband too much.  How am I supposed to get swept up in Claire and Jamie's epic love when the whole time I'll be like, "Hey, no!  What about your husband???"

I would feel like that if I didn't know that there's no chance for them, so I just kinda repress that feeling lol, although it was really hard during this episode. Especially since the music during the scene where they're both running up the hill to each other is so glorious. What the heck, that's music you use for the main couple, not the B couple you're not supposed to really root for.

I've seen chatter in other places about how the show is wrong to be adding more Frank because he is not worthy due to
Spoiler:
Personally, I've always felt a bit sorry for Frank. His wife disappears without a trace and then when she really and truly does have the chance to come back to him, she chucks him over for another man, and when she does reappear, she has this cracked story about time travel and is pregnant. That's a lot to process.

But I don't feel sorry enough for him to want him and Claire together when I could be happily watching Claire and Jamie being all adorable and sexy together.

QueensixWhich book does your spoiler happen in? I only skimmed the first one, but enjoyed the Outlander companion, so while I know the general gist of what happens in the first four books, I missed out on some back story.

snorf, I think it's the third one. It's told mainly in flashback but it has a lot of people riled up as to whether Frank Randall deserves such consideration as the TV show is giving him!! [/righteous hair toss because why not?!]

Cool thanks! Yeah I'm watching the previously.tv mob implode. It's kindof funny in a shades of TWoP kindof way.

I think they have a point? I mean, (book series spoilers) Claire
Spoiler:
I can imagine many non-book fans just not getting where Claire is coming from at all, and no, you can never please everyone, but why make it easier for people to dislike the lead character? Which I worry might happen in the second half of the season and going forward to S2.

Good point. Like I said I'm pretty much Team Frank at this stage,
Spoiler:
I tried to think of something that I could use to relate to it, and the only thing I can come up with is maybe if Hermoine and Victor Krum were an item for the last of the HP movies. I would have been pretty livid/gah bah wah? about it.

Ask Claire: Whiskey or Sex? Maybe Claire is Team Scotch Whiskey!

Random question, but why did Jamie want Claire's wedding ring made from that key? thanks!

It's not canon, so only the show writers know so far.

Now THAT'S a teaser trailer. April seems so far away, but in a few weeks it'll be 2015 (shut up!) and we'll be closer to it.

That's not Jamie in that shot with the man lying down with the bird flapping over him, is it? Kinda looks like him but it's hard to tell, it kinda looks like it could be Willie too.

I liked the episode, but I gotta say I really don't like Jamie's voiceover. It's cornier, and Claire's POV is more informative/interesting because she's from the future. I don't know, it feels like either the writers are trying to make it more of a sausagefest or fan pandering to the fans who want Jamie to be THE main character and not Claire.

I thought they handled the spanking scene well.

It seemed like the writers decided there was no way Jamie would come off at all decent if that scene hadn't been presented with his perspective (and inner turmoil) just beforehand, as well as how he worked out a compromise. Claire's alone could have made some viewers turn off the TV and never come back.

Anyone listen to Ron Moore's podcasts? Are they worth checking out?
