Each season I’m more grateful that I’m a book reader first. Knowing the whole story it’s easy to see how they’re going for the “instant shock” because they only have three minutes instead of thirty pages. I also hate the idea of Claire self medicating because it just doesn’t seem that she would. I do think there’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back but I think for Claire it would be harm to a loved one not herself. Just my opinion. The Starz production in itself is magnificent - I never thought anybody could come close to getting it on screen and positively dreaded a movie attempt. -- Ladies of Lallybroch Social Board

In reply to: Betsy BFS 's message, "This novella is confusing to me in many ways. Each time I read it, I find something I hadn't noticed before. Trying to figure out where in time the Comte is at the moment, and how many times he has traveled.... it's hard to keep it all straight. I find it addicting. The Comte is one interesting character. I don't compare the Starrz version of the story to the books; If I don't separate the two, I get peeved at the series. However, the scene in the palace when the Comte drank what he knew was poison made me look at him just a bit differently. I think it was the tears in his eyes..... For whatever reason, he intrigues me. The "brief scrawl" at the top of the sheet on the box of afile powder that said 'Rose Hall, Jamaica,' what's THAT mean? Who will we see again??" on Thu, March 31 2022, 19:39:08
