[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well you saw the last episode that went directly from wedding to rape, abduction, rape without any of the lovely post-wedding bliss in the book. And since this is a spoiler thread, we pretty much now know what will come in the next 15 minutes of the 18th C part of the show.  And DB interviews have been gross on the subject. [/quote]

I dunno. The post-wedding scenes in the book are very nice and I wouldn't have minded a bit more of that in the show. But honestly, I think it would not have made very compelling TV to have another episode focused on them talking and making love, especially since there would be no flashback scenes to break things up visually. And I also think by not lingering over Claire & Jamie's relationship at this point--focusing on Frank, and how "forced" her relationship with Jamie actually is at this point, despite their connection, and how savage life can be in the 18th c--the show is doing a better job than the book at demonstrating why Claire wants to get the hell out of 1743 and back to the future. Spending another episode on Claire intertwined with Jamie would have made it seem very strange to the uninitiated viewer when Claire tries to leave him.

Re DB interviews--I have avoided them all because, in spite of liking (some of) her books, I have always thought her to be a complete whack-job. I honestly don't care what she has to say about the show. [/quote]
