Finally watched episode 1 last night. It was great!
The battle scenes were brutal, especially Jamie and Jack Randall's confrontation. Watching Jamie be at death's door was hard, his wheezing really got to me.
Liked the scenes in the present, too. I somehow have less sympathy for Frank than his evil counterpart. Makes no sense but I highly prefer Tobias Menzies as Jack. Frank is capable of being a jerk, too. (To put it nicely.) And I think maybe that is why...we know Jack is bad. When Frank is cruel, I have a hard time forgiving him for it. Chalk it up to amazing performances by Menzies!
The ending was sweet and touching, though. But that nurse! She got in a zinger!
Oh yes, the professor AND the Doctor at the birth! You could see the steam rolling out of Claire's ears!I was a little surprised that they were going into this part of the back-story rather than starting up with Claire going back again but am enjoying it.
I feel the same way about Frank but wasn't sure if I was being influenced by his behavior in the books. I could have just smacked that professor(?) for how he was demeaning Claire. I know it was typical for the time period, but still.(cheating on Claire)
Rightly so. 
Right, that one, too! grrrrrOh yes, the professor AND the Doctor at the birth! You could see the steam rolling out of Claire's ears!
Aren't you Scottish? How have you not read this?
You are funnyI'm a little Scottish, butt just a wee lad.......
No, what does it say?
just send me the shipping and handling fee 
I haven't watched this week's episode yet. Maybe today, hopefully. But have both kiddos today, and Scott home too, so me controlling the tv is probably not happening.
Yeah, that is always a problem! Or, maybe not a problem, so much.Definitely don't be watching it while the kids are around. One of the more "intimate" episodes not for young eyes.
