Outlander episode 10 Prestonpans-Spoilers

@wildcatmom the scene with Claire and Jamie before the battle was heartbreaking to watch. I can't imagine having to be in those shoes, like you, and trying to keep it together.

I watched the episode again last night, I liked it even more the second time. I think sometimes when I watch knowing that something big is going to happen, I'm so focused on that something big that I don't appreciate all the details in other scenes leading up to that event. So my second viewing took my already positive review probably a step higher. There were some amazing things that took place in epidsode 210. I think for all the grief that book readers give about the adaptation and leaving stuff out, the way the show has made up for it- developing secondary characters like Dougal, Rupert and Angus has been so awesome. I didn't think I'd be shedding a tear over Angus, but there I was- tears flowing. And they were flowing not just for the loss of the character, but the death of the friendship between Rupert and Angus. The sense of dread and foreshadowing in this episode made me so uneasy for the last few episodes. I really feel that since the return from France, each episode has been building on one another toward a climatic ending. Each week is getting harder to watch.



To address the spoilers on this thread-I know I jump the gun early by getting this thread up before most people have watched it. I just like to get my thoughts out after I watch and even with a spoiler alert I try to keep things as vague as possible. As for the book spoilers, I am a book reader (haven't finished the last 2), so I do know that sometimes our knowledge of what is to come is hard to separate from what's going on in the show. Perhaps we can continue to use the spoiler feature, but place the words SHOW or BOOK above the actual spoilers to prevent this from happening in the future? Please don't stop ktdoesntscrap , I enjoy reading responses from book readers and non book readers alike. For instance, as a non-book reader were you thinking that something was going to happen to Fergus last night?

QueenoftheSloths BOÔK SPOILER

So next week Diana Gabaldon is the writer of episode 211. This news came out at the beginning of the season, but it seems more intriguing to me now since we know they cannot follow the book-there's too much and it's been written that several big scenes will not be included-the death in episode 210 was a departure from the book, they started the season different than in the book, etc... All this to say, Diana is going to have to make some tough adaptation choices. Nobody knows her work better than she does, but now, given time constraints, the framing of the season, the adaptation choices previously made, I am so looking forward to seeing what she comes up with.
