She forced Jamie to sleep with her by threatening his family (no matter how much they tuk out, the bottom line is still the same) and John turned down sleeping with him (which, cum on, we all know he desperately longs for) becoz he knew it wudnt b ryt, given that Jamie wud only b doing it 4 his son's future.

An example is Tommy Flanagan, the Glasgow actor who many felt should have been cast as Murtagh, but after seven seasons of playing an outlaw biker in Sons of Anarchy, would have carried that part along with him. Unfortunately I cannot say this for Willie. The child neither looks like Jamie, nor does he have blue eyes, despste the constant reference to him having his fathers's eyes. Brown eyed children do not grow up to have blue eyes! As the resemblance was the reason for Jamie leaving Helwater, and was a mjor plot point, I think a child could have been found who looks like Jamie.

Lord Milton knows the truth about Jamie bout doesn't tell the truth , Genvia theatens Jamie by using Lallybroch as blackmail , she demands he come to her room he does but its clear he does it out of fear for his family, loved the love -scenes I just wish it could have been someone less cold-hearted , love Jamie telling her what love really means . At the Manse Fiona gives Claire the pearls she had kept from Mrs. Graham , was a good scene. love the fact that Roger comforts Bree when she think she might loose CLaire if she goes back to the past . you can see their romance starting here. Lady Geniva is giving birth and is in trouble , she delivers the baby that Jamie knows is his , love Lady Isabel at her sisters death. and understand when she hits Jamie in reaction. the scene between Helwater and Jamie saving the baby 's life is right out of the book and very well done , also is Jamie 's decision to stay after being offered to be given the chance to go home , and he's decision to stay , loved the scenes with Young Willie , was right from the book . at the National Archives of Scotland Roger , Claire and Bree are stone walled in finding out more about Jamie 's past , at the bar Claire decides its time to stop chasing ghosts and the leave for Boston . after hearing and seeing comments at how much Young Willie looks like him Jamie too decides to leave , love the scenes with him was in tears , love the fact that Lord John was there for Jamie when he needed him the most and the friendship between them goes deeper. beautiful scene with Jamie and young Willie praying , like the use of the Bob Dylan song it tells so much about the scenes , I love this episode and will watch it again this week. felt Geniva got what she deserved am sorry to say .this season gets better and better will be watching more next Sunday . please post more soon.

I don't know where you got that idea. His hair is chestnut, like Geneva's. Chestnut is a shade of rich shade of brown with reddish undertones. But yes, his beard is as red as red as Jamie's hair and his pubic hair as well. As far as him not looking like Jamie, I guess you've never seen pics of elementary school age Sam.

This episode was full of heart wrenching moments. Sam just gets better and better of portraying Jamie. He has been consistently amazing since season one , and this season he really shines . Bravo, Sam. The actresses portraying Isobel and Genva were very good. I have seen Hannah James(Geneva) in "Mercy Street" on PBS, about a Civil War hospital. She did a good job of portraying GEneva as a spoiled, entitled , impetuous girl . I thought the actor playing Willie was adorable, but I saw no resemblance to Sam. That was a little jarring since it was supposedly the reason Jamie had to leave Helwater because everyone would be able to tell that JAmie was his father. David Berry continues to do an excellent job portraying John and his love for Jamie.<br /><br /> I have noticed that Sam seems to have become the designated player for the nude scenes. I am starting to feel a little like a voyeur. Cait was shown fully clothed in one love scene and from the back in the dark and under a cover in the other. Sam , on the other hand, has already done two nude scenes in only 4 episodes. I also noticed that when Jamie sees visions of CLaire, she is in a long night gown and shawl ,and in another vision, she is fully clothed. However, in Claire's vision of Jamie, he is stark naked and coming toward her ready to pounce. The female gaze? For people who have not read the books, it might seem that Jamie pines for his spiritual, close connection to CLaire, while CLaire misses JAmie's body and sexual prowess. In the books, we know that Jamie and CLaire represent a timeless love if both body and spirit. Well, just something I noticed.<br /><br />♥Susanlynnnoreply@blogger.com
