Well Ghost is who he lived his life to be. A lying, sneaky, conniving murderous drug kingpin. Had both women never came in contact with him; their lives would have turned out better.

🤔and there would be no show..

You've been watching since shows inception, but find it disgusting - hummm, interesting

@@elizabethlitowkin1789 Iam not watching this show from inception... Few episodes in i understood this is garbage and left the show and I was right this show is disgusting in its core. Both ML and FL are shameless and have no character

Absolutely agree with you, very well said! I made a similar (very long) comment on the last video of this channel, it’s very late where I am and I‘m too tired to edit it, so I‘ll just leave it here: »I‘m SO happy that they took this straight out of the books, pretty much word-for-word! The last few episodes (pretty much the whole season) has been magnificent, there are side characters and plots I‘m missing (like Hal, Dottie, Percy, Germaine etc.), but they stay very faithful to the source material with their main characters (also probs to last week’s ep!). All people involved - writers, actors, producers aso. - did a great job, also: When are we finally going to get our Lord John-spin off-series?! David Berry is so incredible and wonderful as LJG and I‘d kill to see the LJG novels/novellas adapted. I‘d love to meet all of his family, friends, and others on screen, and show more of his pretty snarky, cunning, daring side, his dry humour and how often he gets in trouble (I think the show has downplayed that a bit in the past and portrayed him as always pretty proper and level-headed, when he can also have a whole different side… but I think that inevitably comes with seeing him mostly in relation to the Frasers, when in the later books and his own series you see more of him also as brother, son, father, uncle, lover, soldier, spy, kinda sleuth aso…). But since the beginning every scene with David Berry as LJG has been a true pleasure to witness, and I‘ve always been a fan of this whole John/Jamie/Claire/William conflict/storylines in the books, because it’s just so messy and chaotic and complicated and brings out so many emotions in everyone. For those who think the “carnal knowledge” part was what made Jamie so extremely angry, it was absolutely more so the “We were both fucking you” part*, that definitely triggered his PTSD after what Black Jack Randall did to him. The first part made him heated, but without the second part things probably wouldn’t have escalated this severely (that’s NOT meant to be an justification/apology - what Jamie does here is absolute shitty and horrible - but an explanation). Remember Jamie’s reaction to John’s hand on his in Ardsmuir and then there’s also a TERRIBLE argument these two have in "Brotherhood of the Blade" (one of the LJG novels), that also almost ends in violence, I don’t want to spoiler things here, but let’s just say, Jamie and John there said truly fucked-up things to each other, that they likely later regretted, and something there really triggered Jamie’s BJR memories, too… as long as Jamie can ignore the fact that John is romantically and sexually attracted to him, this unlikely friendship between him and again an English officer and once jailer of him, can wonderfully work and be very equal and full of trust, respect and care, but here, well….. I’ve always really, really loved their friendship and I hope we’ll see them make up sooner or later (100% sure they’ll, especially because they’re so connected through William (in the books the Fraser and Grey families just become more and more connected), whose storylines btw are also beautifully adapted and portrayed!). Pleeeeease, STARZ, give us and David Berry the spin-off we all deserve! P.S.: *I think it’s also clear later in Jamie’s talk with Claire, when she compares what John did to her with triage, stopping the bleeding, putting his own grief, his own fury, over the welling blood of hers… (there’s longer, beautiful dialogue in the books…). And then Jamie uses a similar metaphor of feeling cut wide open, bleeding, raw, numb, when he says "And then there was William. When Geneva died and it was my fault, it was a knife in my heart - and then William... The bairn cut me wide open, Sassenach. He spilled my guts out into my hands. And that bloody English sodomite (I think in the show he just says “bloody Englishman”) bandaged me with his friendship.” Jamie I think feels betrayed in that friendship because it meant A LOT to him especially after the loss of Claire (and Faith and Brianna) and his freedom/culture/hope, first in Ardsmuir and later in Helwater (again with the basically loss of William) and it was a hard-earned friendship with a lot of repairing to do because of certain events/trauma/different backgrounds aso. (I can really recommend the dual John/Jamie POVs novel “The Scottish Prisoner” to anyone who wants to see more of this repairing their relationship). John not taking Jamie’s offer, when Jamie offered his body to him, played a huge part in Jamie’s growing trust in and admiration of John, and I guess (due to the Jack Randall trauma) Jamie feels violated and betrayed in their friendship. « Also said in another comment »(…) Would also love to see Hal, Tom Byrd, Benedicta, Minnie, Percy, Harry Quarry, Stephan von Namtzen, aso. LJG is my favourite character, too, and he sometimes gets in so ridiculous situations (like people thinking he's the secret author of dirty poems, the electric eel party, all these duels etc...), David Berry would be amazing in a spinoff show!«

Absolutely! He is just as compelling a character and the dialog is fantastic. I’ve often said that if I was given that scenario of 5 famous people from history (or whatever) you can invite to your dinner party… I want Lord John!

Yes, it's almost word for word from the book. And Sam played it brilliantly.

Jamie no hubiera actuado así si Lord John no hubiera sido un completo imbécil al contarle sin explicarle el contexto de lo que había ocurrido, Lord John se niega a ver cuanto Jamie ama a Claire y cuanto daño le podían hacer sus dichos. No solo no le explica si no que lo provoca diciéndole que no lo hizo con su esposa, lo hizo con él, era todo lo que Jamie soñaba escuchar (recordando sus traumas) 🙄🙄🙄 Lord John ha tomado pésimas decisiones 🤪, él historicamente tiene la peor suerte de outlander,🙃 me da pena la situación y quiero que se arreglen pero por Jamie no por John, él no me da pena, está en estos problemas por no poder superar a Jamie, ¿No sé que quiere? está condenado a sufrir, Jamie y Claire estarán bien y él solo perderá, pero no podrá culpar de todo a Jamie.

He's also very adaptable to changing situations and adept at dealing with people. We saw that in his role as Governor of Jamaica. The Lord John books delve much deeper into the political situation there with heightened unrest. He gets into some situations that should have been the end of him, but survives on account of his fearlessness aplomb and brilliant mind. Aspects of his character are, in many ways, what Jamie lacks--self-control in certain moments. That was evident in numerous incidents, but in particular when Fergus saved him from himself when he refused to free him from captivity on board ship. The Highlander in a kilt is a highly romantic trope, but the Fraser temper/Highland berserker, not so much. Throughout the books, the characters often read as plot devices--LJG, Fergus, Roger, Claire--coming in deus ex machina to save Jamie's ass.

Oooooohhh yeah!
