[@katreeves64]

One of my absolute favourite scenes! That perfect sparring dance rapidly transitioning between gentle concern, irritation, indignation, anger, full-blown wrath, hurt and anguish, followed by tender reconciliation is probably the best acted sequence in the entire series.

[@katreeves64]

The only tiny bit of criticism I have for this otherwise superbly acted scene is the voiceover at the end. For me it falls flat when Jamie explicitly declares to viewers that he is in love with Claire. It's cringy. And utterly unnecessary. Did the producers have an urge to reassure the audience after the fight: "But that's okay, he still loves her"? If so, they poorly misjudged their audience, and broke one of the most important rules in cinema: "Show it, don't say it."

[@GillyWhitfootHaysend]

There was a reason for it. This was the first episode of the second part of season 1, which the producers and writers wanted narration from Jamie’s perspective. The episode began this way. And also picked up from his perspective in rescuing Claire from BJR (entering through the window etc). It makes better sense with the beginning narration.

​@monicastricker3582 it kind of does, in this instance. Surrounded by a patriarchal and reproaching environment, it's impressive that he got into his skull that trying and remaining that way to his wife would never bring him what he found attractive about her in the first place. True, she also does go down routes that should make her pay more, but fair to lenient consequences always come to them.

@@monicastricker3582 it absolutely does. 23 is very young and this is his FIRST relationship after growing up not really seeing many healthy relationships. He panicked and reacted harshly but also self regulated which was impressive.

Claire behaves like an infantile child the whole way through this scene, saying anything and everything to not take responsibility for her own actions. She lashing out and trying to hurt the man who saved her just to protect her own foolish pride. She has zero gratitude. It's a childish temper tantrum, and a proper man of the period probably would have just decided since she was going to act like a child to spank her.

What the fuck are you talking about? Men are still this way. Victim blaming is like the one thing men can agree on when it comes to women.

I feel like the people condemning Claire are oversimplifying her situation. I can understand how, from Jamie's perspective, she was wrong, but from her POV, she had just almost been raped and finally saw an opportunity to get back to her time period and took it. She's not wrong for trying to go home.

[@sookibeulah9331]

Whoosh….straight over your head. Claire ‘was’ a woman of her time, it wouldn’t have made any sense if she completely changed her personality & become some submissive housewife, & beyond boring as well, and there wouldn’t have been a story either.

Why is it not listening? Like she said, he is not her boss. She isn't supposed to just passively listen and obey, she has her own mind about things. She should always listen to her own gut, right or wrong. Jaimie never listened to Claire, he always followed his own gut, but no one says he always caused trouble by not listening to her. Double standard. She was a brave, independent and strong woman, imo.

[@nuraisha4546]

As much as I dislike the way Claire talks back and slapped Jammie, I have to understand that she’s came from a different time in society where women have the right to choose or express their opinions and not be forced to follow the men whenever they want.

@sookibeulah9331 As a viewer, it's much more exciting to me to interpret well enacted behaviour in a scene and thus arrive at a truth about the character myself, than to listen to useless explanatory narration. And in this case the narration was useless. It feels as if it was added because they lacked trust in Sam Hughan's ability to show us the desired emotion. But that's by far not the case. Sam Hughan is a terrific actor. We could already see the content of the monologue written on his face, absorbed in his every fibre.

@@_Colie Understand her feelings? This isn't about her feelings. They are in very dangerous times where the enemy is constantly milling around. She knows this. Second, the men around him just had to risk their lives to rescue her. They aren't trying to die for her. From their viewpoint, if he can't control his wife, they will not stay loyal to him. I don't like how she was expected to obey him, but that's the world she's in. She needs to fall in line whether she likes it or not. It would be like me waking up in a country where the women are expected to wear burkas and me insisting on wearing a bikini when I know damn well that that will reflect poorly on me and whoever I'm staying with. I love Claire, but she was forever putting Jaime in a position where he was having to defend her and explain her to people. It got on my nerves.

[@LyricalXilence]

Thank you. They are both the victims but at least he acknowledges what happened to her. She is just acting like she knows everything and showing no regard for the danger she put them all in. Imagine being in Ukraine right now and just "going for a walk". You'd be out your mind.

I love the Outlander book series!!! The only characters I like is Jamie, Young Ian, Marsali, Lord John and Murtagh. I don’t like Claire even in her older age or Brianna or Roger Lol I can go on. But Claire is annoying, even as she gets older but Jamie loves her so🤷🏽‍♀️

[@lasv15]

I’m a woman but I stopped watching this show because of how much annoying and stubborn Claire was. I know they need to create drama to keep the show going but letting her playing feminist all the time refusing to listen to her husband and putting both of them in danger was infuriating. After he got raped because she refused to obey his commands and stay put I started to feel discussed by her character. She sucks 🤮

[@leoniep9231]

Would you also describe a man who thinks independently and does what he wants without consulting others as stubborn? Or would you call him decisive and assertive? I sense a double standard from you regarding the same behaviours from men and women...

[@buffysummers74]

It wasn't her fault that he got raped. He went off with the Watch and was captured. Randal wanted Jamie from the moment he saw him. He tried to have his way with him the first time Randal took him. Claire was at Lallybrock waiting for him to come back.

[@misspriss2482]

@@leoniep9231 Yes, I would if the book was written in the sense that Jaime was in a matriarchal society and was expected to obey Claire. For me, this isn't about feminism. This is about Claire being stupidly stubborn. Should she have to obey him? No. Were their expectations about men and women fucked up? Of course. However, she knows what this society is like and what's expected of her. This doesn't just affect her; it affects Jaime and his relationship with his men as well. They had to risk their lives to rescue her all because she was trying to get back to the stone. She should have stayed put. Of all people, she knows that the English are everywhere. If she had to marry Jaime for protection, talking a walk alone as a woman was peak stupidity.

[@LyricalXilence]

Men at least have the sense to know what environment they are in and adapt. Claire was just annoying after years of refusing to recognize she is in 18th century Scotland and has put Jamie and too many in danger with her attitude and outbursts of feminism which is rooted in lack of accountability and selfishness.

It’s almost unbearable to watch as she puts everything into danger and never seems to think things through. Especially when she was trying to save Jaime in Wentworth prison…. She thinks she is untouchable.

No she cheated on Frank with Jamie for sure.

[@jakek4876]

@@thruthemotions No, she didn't cheat on Frank with Jamie because Frank was not born during her time with Jamie.

[@thruthemotions]

@@jakek4876 she went back to the present day and told frank to his face that she had an affair with James. Frank later read that she went back to james before he died in the car crash. She didn't even try hard enough to get back to Frank which is understandable; her and James have been through more hell so of course they're bond grew stronger.

[@jakek4876]

@@thruthemotions In the context of real/present time, it would be but not 200 years before Frank was born and she had no idea that she would have ever been able to go back to her time. Moreover, she was pregnant and was 100% truthful about what happened to her. So no, it wasn't cheating.
