Lassies of Lallybroch part 2.....SPOILERS

[Drywhitethanks]

Because we can't wait until next year for season 3. Highbrow discussion of Jamie's knees, hair and anything else Outlander

Tell us more Courtney! How was it?!

It’s all about the ending. That is all I will say

I wonder if i can get a friend to take my lot to school so I can watch it first thing?

I'm getting ready to watch it now. In the US it is broadcast on Sunday night but Starz subscribers get an early release.

God, I can't wait for tomorrow! I'm betting that it ends as he faints. I loved that bit so much in the books. And later him worrying that he'd wet himself from shock So happy to hear about an extended episode 6.

It looks as though they're in Madam Jeanne's at night which is fairly true to the books.

I've just caved and ordered Snow and Ashes from the library. (I've only read to the end of Fiery Cross). I was going to wait until after this series had ended so as not to mix myself up, but sod it!

Very good point made above that had she stayed in 1746 onwards, Claire would have spent most of her time either pregnant or breastfeeding.

Yes, she and Jamie look far too young in series 3 but I'm suspending belief as I don't want to see Jamie toothless because of scurvy.

I'm going to abstain from episode 5 until 6 is released and have a outlander fest, complete with husband (who is now totally on board) and vino. Hope I can hold out!

Though, as "Red Jamie's" wife, Claire would have had a pretty difficult time, unless she'd stayed in the cave with him

Jamie is a good boy and eats his greens, so no toothlessness from scurvy.

I have far too much time on my hands....
So just HOW good should Claire look when she returns 20 years later?

She was born in 1918, the same year as the beautiful actress Rita Hayworth who was one of the top stars of the 1940s.

This photo shows Rita in 1968, the year that Claire returns to the past through the stones.

Rita did not have to contend with british food rationing during and after WWII, or the privations of 18th century life.
However she had been married and divorced 5 times by 1968...

Claire would have looked much better than other 18th century women of her age when she goes back. I think there are some references to this in the books. She would have had the benefit of living in the twentieth century in the US, with modern medicine, and probably most important birth control and dentistry, in addition to skin care and other beauty regimens that would be available to her.

I hate to spoil the fun, but may I just remind you all that this is a series about time travel.

And yet here we are pondering the likelihood of Wrinkle- free ageing and never ending sexual stamina in your fifties

Have we considered whether it's possible that time travel has an anti-ageing effect?
I'm just saying Doctor Who stays looking young for hundreds of years.

That must be it Toni

I’d like to know why they’re dressing Brianna as a member of the Partridge Family. I know it’s supposed to be the 60’s but she’s a hip young thing, not a middle aged housewife

Why oh why do we have to wait 2weeks for episode 6, I just watched ep5 and omg the last 5min I was holding my breath.

What time does ep5 hit amazon prime? Is it very wrong that I am contemplating staying up? I usually work until 1am anyway.

I still can't believe we have a 2ww for ep6.

I watch it on a link a friend of mine sent me. I couldn't wait till tomorrow to watch it on amazon prime.

lucky you - I watch it on iTunes and it isn't released until early tuesday - which means i get to watch it tuesday night.

I tried watching over those free streaming links but the quality is so hit and miss and I've decided this is worth paying for :D

I have to hide this thread for 2 weeks

LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

SORT OF SPOILER

and omg the last 5min I was holding my breath

Me too! I don’t think I’ve ever felt quite so anxious and nervous watching a tv show. It was very well done though. And now I have to wait two whole flippin’ weeks! 😫

The whole episode was very well done.

@LonelyOversharer Episodes appear on prime at 5am so don’t stay up tonight. Maybe get up early tomorrow though.
I’m definitely getting up at 5 to watch episode 6 before I go to work. I want to watch, enjoy and sob on my own. If I don’t see it then I’ll have to watch with dp in the evening.

Thanks snozzle early start for me then! Can definitely dodge the school run. Not that I should...
