Too much violence and too stressful to watch. Could have done without Claire being punched and kicked. Are the writers trying to be more like game of thrones by seeing how much we can take?
Too much violence during this episode. The episode started well but when the violence began, it was long, too long and became unbearable.
Fantastic. How boring the first five episodes were, I can hardly believe I stuck with this series. I am glad I did. What a phenomenal episode this was. Visceral, haunting, horrifying and performances the like of which I have not seen. The twist of the captain at the end, a little sudden but still just a captivating episode. I await next week withing longing, not trepidation as I did the first five episodes. Bravo, please keep it up. I hope this continues. Claire and the captain had just incredible performances. The last two episodes saved this series for me. I will be watching, for sure. More history will help, and the dark aspects of this story give it legs. Please, please continue and don't water the visceral feeling down.
This episode is the first one to really stand out from the others of the first season. Jack Randall begins to show his true face and it's an absolute pleasure to watch as Tobias Menzies pulls out all the stops and reveals all the twisted shades of darkness inside his soul. He knows how to make a truly hateful villain come to life. I literally got goosebumps during the scene between him and Claire.
Much better than the previous episode, Randall is one messed up villian, poor Claire and I don't need to read the books to know Dougie's a piece of dirt

- TriviaWhen Captain Randall is interrogating Claire, she expresses that he has a decent man within him still. Randall replies, 'It would be pretty to think so'. This is the same line that ends Hemingway's 'The Sun Also Rises'. In Hemingway's novel and in this scene, it is a cynical recognition that that dream has slipped away forever.
- GoofsBrigadier General Lord Thomas states Claire has had a mesmerizing experience. The term "mesmerizing" was not yet coined as Frank Mesmer was born in 1734 and would not have been experimenting in 1743.
- Quotes
Claire Randall: Well doesn't it bother you that I'm not a virgin?
Jamie Fraser: No. So long it as it does not bother you that I am. I reckon one of us should ken what we're doing.
