Fantasy Ronald D. Moore to Adapt Outlander series for TV

[Marvolo]

It wasn't that bad. It was a lot more tame than what happens in the book. If you was able to stomach the lashing he got earlier in the season you can stomach this. Randall doesn't cut on him or smash anymore fingers or bones. And we don't see much of the rape. The episode mostly deals with Claire attempting to mend Jaime's mind and soul at the convent.

There is a lot of feels throughout the episode between Murtagh and Claire and Jaime.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Well that was an intense finale for sure.

Finally caught the finale and I thought it was fantastic. Excellent acting especially on Sam. The flashback scenes were brutal to watch but I thought the scenes from the previous eps were worse.

The ending was great especially Claire's reveal. It was nice to see Jamie at least have that bit of good news after everything he went through. My god Randall! He's hands down one of the most vile villains I've seen on TV.

 

[Golgo-13]

Finally saw the finale. Pretty good/intense.

I'm curious to know where this all leads.

Anyone who has read the books, let me know this; Do they later address indepth why Jaimie's ghost was watching Claire during the first ep?

I re-watched the first ep right after the finale. It's funny how all the little things that appeared in ep 1 that didn't really click, made more sense after you watch the entire season.

The explanation of whats going on there hasnt been revealed in the books yet:

Diana Gabaldon told Vulture that the figure will be explained and that the reveal will likely be "the last thing in the last book," but she said that she has shared the identity of the Highlander with showrunner Ronald D. Moore and actor Sam Heughan. "But they're the only people who have or will see it until we get to that book," she teased.

So it may not have been Jaime.

 

[Golgo-13]

Perhaps the highlander is Jaime and Claire's child, grand-child,etc that due to Claire's time travelling experience, has the ability to vanish at will…?

The fact that Gabaldon shared the identity with Sam and not the actress that plays Claire, to me, indicates that it is indeed Jaime…

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

It's back with a bit of French dialogues for they are in Paris.
Claire has a knack for making enemies.

 

[kvz5]

I liked that they started back in the present. He has some rage inside him but Frank is like the moooooost understanding guy ever.

 

[Marvolo]

I wonder if they will do the [blackout]20 year time jump?[/blackout]

 

[Golgo-13]

So eventually she ends back up with present day Frank in NY. I like that they spent half the ep in 1948.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Currently watching ep02.
I love the accent from the French characters, it's like mine and I call it Commander Cousteau ( the navigator ), it is strong and don't try to be English at all.

OMG, the apothecary is played by Dominic Pinon, a famous French actor that played in Alien 3, The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain or The City of The Lost Children to name a few. A contrario his English accent is excellent.

Such a delightful episode !
Godmichet ! (I may get a warning for that .. ), an hairless mount is "de rigueur", the waxing scene, the poop scene, the breast ahoy dress from the King concubine ( I am not sure this is accurate ), it was so funny.
The Minister of Finance is also a known French actor in TV movies.

This whole episode .

 

[Primal Slayer]

This was a great episode. Claire being hit with that huge ancestry dilemma was good.

 

[Golgo-13]

Ep2. Surely Claire would realize that Jack Randell would had to be alive, or Frank would never have been born.

Ep2. Surely Claire would realize that Jack Randell would had to be alive, or Frank would never have been born.

She thought when Randall died she erased Frank from the existence. It's a big dilemma for her in the books. She is operating under the assumption that the future can be changed.

 

[Golgo-13]

I assumed that. I've just come to the conclusion that the History she learnt in the 1940's with Frank; all her time traveling had already been included into those historical points, but obviously while reading about it with Frank she didn't know it yet.

Another thing, and i'm just speculating because i haven't read the books but Claire is pregnant when she returned in 1948 during the s2 premier. She is pregnant in the eps in France. We're to assume that she returns to 1948 soon, thus being pregnant when she returns to 1948 as seen in the premier. She states in the premier that she had been gone for 2 years. Not sure how time works (if she returned years later compared to how much time passes for her in the past i.e she disappears in 1946, spends a year in the past, but is time jumped to 1948 when she returns) but i assume she looses her current baby, and becomes pregnant a second time, as she appears much further along in France than she did when she returned in 1948.....

Spoiler

She has a miscarriage in Paris in 1744. Then she gets pregnant again in 1746 before she comes back to the future.

The costume porn this season is SO good!

Last Saturday's episode is the best of the season so far. So much good stuff happening! I love Murtagh and Fergus.

Poor Mary. Did I remember it right but it's not Alex who married her, right? It's Jack, right? At least according to that book Claire saw in the present time?

Are they hinting that the guy from the potions store is also a time traveller?

I knew what La Dame Blanche meant but I spoiled myself and checked what it meant in the context of the show and I thought it was cool. Also ended up spoiling more about [blackout]Comte and it was interesting... He's also a time traveler?! Maybe he's not a villain as we thought he was?[/blackout]

 

[Marvolo]

I hope they don't drag out revealing the real reason Jaime broke his promise.

I just finished reading the first book and I desperately want to watch the TV series now.

I hope they don't drag out revealing the real reason Jaime broke his promise.

What promise is that? Is it from the second book?

Yeah it's from the second book and season 2.

Spoiler

He promised Claire that he wouldn't try to kill Jonathan Randall after he found out Randall was still alive. He broke that promise because he found out that Randall did something really horrible to someone Jamie loves like a son.

 

[Donner]

Ah gotcha. I watched the season 2 finale. I'm still crying.
