Lassies at the Print Shop **Spoiler Alert - title edited by MNHQ**

[Lessstressedhemum]

New thread for all things Jamie and Claire. But mostly Jamie

Almost time for a new thread! Can I suggest we insert "Outlander" in the title so other like-minded lassies can find us more easily?

How about something like "The Outlander thread - Lassies of Lallybroch in the New World"

Or hopefully something cleverer but which keeps both the lassies of Lallybroch and Outlander in the title :)

Really cannot wait for the episode. Saw mixed reactions on twitter but then there's no pleasing some folks, especially when the source material is so dodgy. The pictures I've seen show a very sun-burnt claire but also a lot of laughter and levity and also, finally!, the demise of the batsuit once and for all.

I also have a confession to make - everyone keeps talking about turtle soup and I have ZERO recollection of said scene in the books! Absolutely none. I have read them all, promise!!!

Apart from missing a huge SPOILERS in the title, I think that's fine

Ah, yes, of course, SPOILERS AHOY!!!

No, I couldn't remember Turtle Soup either (although it's a good scene in the show, the book didn't leave a lasting impression).

I feel like that with a lot of the book stuff though. Readers of the book will say, 'oh, such and such is a great scene' and it's only once I've finished that I realised I haven't even registered the bit they were raving about

its a shame they couldn't just leave out the whole caribbean interlude entirely and just have them wash up in Virginia in a more straightforward way. Anyway, looking forward to tuesday night and my weekly fix! What will we do when it's all over???!

I think we should start from the beginning. One episode a week, then meet here to discuss

I preferred this latest episode to last week and can't believe there are just two left now

courtney I'd be up for that

Starting all the way from season 1, obvs

Don't forget to put mumlanders in the title 😂

Yes AKA have to start from season 1...may have to watch a couple episodes if cliffhangers though

How about Lallybroch Mumlanders of the Caribbean? Or have they actually reached the New World now?

I liked the turtle soup scene in the book. It's pretty hot. But the mad women make far to big a deal.

Would be up for a new episode a week thread as well.

just have them wash up in Virginia in a more straightforward way

No, they wash up in Georgia in the book! Close to where I grew up. They have to keep that in or I will be like those complainers on Facebook, moaning about every deviation from the sacred texts.

New World is fine. I think the Caribbean is part of the New World.

Love your idea of going back to the start and watching an episode a week Courtney

Please can we not have mumlanders in the title of the next thread? It makes my toes curl ... sorry I liked AKA's suggestion.

I suppose it must be, Seneca, when you think about it. I always just think of the new world as the Americas

I agree, it needs to be Georgia. I don't know why, but I like them to stick to places. Don't care about colours or costumes or any of that, but I feel like the actual places are important.

I agree. Sorry Aka's title was fine. I think it had everything in it, and won't put off anyone new who wants to join the thread.

Oooppps I meant Georgia

Toddler slept in! Will watch during naptime and report back. Excited!

We can maybe lose the “Lallybroch” in the title... sadly we’re not in Scotland anymore :(

Outlander - Lassies of The Caribbean SPOILERS AHOY or something along those lines could be cool

Or

Lassies of Lallybroch in the Caribbean

That is genius, a nighean. Can we br Lassies of Fraser's Ridge in season 4?

I really liked that episode. The writers do so well avoiding the one dimensional side characters, don't they? Father Forden was so much more complex than the pathetic figure he cut in the book, so was Mamacita. Fergus and Marsali looked so happy and it's nice to see things between Marsali and Claire beginning to soften. Jamie giving Fergus his name would bring tears to a glass e'e.

I had a wee tear at the name part.

Really enjoyed that episode!

SO, now that winter is here and my teens are being stalked by horrible death |(i.e. have a bit of a cold), does anyone want a recipe for elderberry and ginger syrup to help treat/prevent this awful doom?

Yes, please Less we're all full of the lurgy here!

Father Fogden and Mamacita were a great double act. Nice to see some more comedy after Elias . I do remember the books having quite a few funny moments in them.
