TONIGHT! *happy dance*

[Hallia]

I'm on the third book, and I've watched all current episodes

 

 

I'd be on Jamie like white on rice on a paper plate in a snowstorm

 

:laugh;

[Songstress]

Rawr!

Right! How are you liking the series? (books not the show) 

 

Tress I thought of you on Sat how was the show? 

[Songstress]

I really enjoyed it. This section of the first book was one of the more controversial, but they did a good job putting it in context by having Jamie as the narrator / viewpoint character. And the acting was excellent.

 

And then there was some heat.

[Rasheta Ardashir]

Was it the beating part or when they have sex after they get back to the castle and it gets all BDSM kind of thing...well sorta. LOL I've been busy writing a thesis paper so I haven't had a chance to see it yet. LOL 

[Songstress]

The beating was the controversy i was thinking of - being in Jamie's head instead of Claire's helped with the context i think. There are some who will find it unforgivable regardless, but the way they did it emphasized how Jamie learned from the whole situation.

 

And the sex scene back at the castle was smokin'

[Songstress]

Their argument along the road between the rescue and the punishment had some fantastic acting.

[Rasheta Ardashir]

*ggl snorts* You crack me up Tress. 

[Songstress]

I recommended the series to a nurse that I work with, and over the weekend she managed to catch the new episode.

 

Unfortunately I neglected to mention that there was likely to be nudity involved.

 

On the bright side, her elderly mother and her 12 year old son were not in the room during either the beating scene or the steamy scene at the end.

 

Whoops.

[Rasheta Ardashir]

Oh dear. Could be worse she could be trying to watch Game of Thrones with no knowledge of the nudity involved. LOL 

[Songstress]

So I called my ISP on Tuesday because my internet was cutting in and out, and while I was on the phone with them they offered me a cable package with a pretty small, crappy selection of digital cable channels, but with free Starz, HBO and Encore for a year for only $20 more per month than I was paying for Internet alone.

.

And said package comes with access to the HBO Go and Starz Play websites/apps.

 

And apparently on Starz Play you can watch that night's episode of Outlander early.  It's not supposed to be on for another 3 hours here, but I watched it an hour ago online.

[Rasheta Ardashir]

How was it? I have to live vicariously through you while I get done with this paper. LOL 

[Songstress]

I really liked it! They made some changes in the storyline - gets them to the same place in the end, and it plays out well.

[WWWwombat]

I kinda like it.  Needs more Sean Connery and beheadings and less vase monologues imo.

It's important to appreciate the simple things in life.

Saturday night!  New Outlander!!

 

[Rasheta Ardashir]

Saturday night!  New Outlander!!

 

True story. *laughs* I got sucked into The Musketeers so I have not watched Outlander in awhile. 

[Nightstrike]

I've seen most of the first season. I hope they make more seasons of it. Does anyone know if it's been a financial success so far? Many TV shows seem to get canceled after just one or two seasons. Hopefully this isn't one of them.
