And I think the series is tightening things up a bit from the book. <br /><br />And Jamie, my goodness Jamie. Series Jamie is SO good. Towards the end of the last episode, where Claire and Gellis get arrested as witches, I actually had tears running down my face over how awesome a hero he is. I never did that while reading the book. What he does for Claire, who does not deserve Jamie, is just so amazing. And the actor plays him brilliantly. And then there sre the love scenes....... I quit smoking a few years ago now, but as I've been telling other watchers at work, I sure could do with one after some of the scenes. *sigh accompanied by deep breathe since I'm not going to start again just for that*Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-3016724497311894972015-04-22T18:55:30.989-04:002015-04-22T18:55:30.989-04:00You know, I plan to give the series a shot- when i...You know, I plan to give the series a shot- when it's completed the first season. I'm not a fan of Claire either. It just goes to the skill of Gabaldon that I can ignore her main protagonist in favor of Jamie and the other things she manages to shove in there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-82421789192499778892015-04-10T20:43:58.986-04:002015-04-10T20:43:58.986-04:00Oh AL! You don't know what you are missing. ...Oh AL! You don't know what you are missing. The series is SO good. And considering the book is written in the first person, I think the voice over actually adds to it.<br />But then we have quite a number of die hard Outlander where I work and a couple of them don't plan on watching the second season. One isn't happy with who they chose for Jamie, something I don't understand at all as have I mentioned he's hot? And the other doesn't like that the series follows the books to the tee. And this point I don't get either as the author is deeply involved and I think many of the changes actually tighten things up. *grin*Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-13721131746349284712015-04-10T18:55:43.140-04:002015-04-10T18:55:43.140-04:00Sorry, I ain't watching Outlander.
I was a p...Sorry, I ain't watching Outlander. <br /><br />I was a pretty dedicated fan for about four books, then I lost interest. My then s.o. got them the next two (three?) books and they are sitting unread in one of my bookcases.<br /><br />Given how much I did enjoy the first few books, and that my experience is that movies/series never do books justice, I was already pretty set against watching.<br /><br />But a) I am weak and b) the actor playing Jaime is pretty yummy indeed, so I tried watching the first episode. The voice overs did me in. No more, thanks but not thanks.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />On series ended too soon: Oh how I feel your pain! <br /><br />Firefly. *shaking both fists at FOX and cursing*aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
