    It's Not Geordi.

    Another top performance in writing for this episode.

    And Bear's music, just outstanding.

    I still am going to really miss Frank.

    But looking forward to more twists and turns. Obviously I haven't read the books.

    Top notch.

    So much anticipation

    No spoilers. This episode was such a great one. There was a lot of build up, anticipation and then... it happens. The reaction was wonderful! Loved how both Sam and Caitriona displayed such a vast progression of emotions and then I was giggling madly. Loved it! Cannot wait for the rest of this season to play out and see how they transform the book into this show.

    • Quotes

      Brianna Randall Fraser: [to Claire] I've been trying to figure out if I'm more Fraser or Randall. And I realised, I'm more you than I am either of my fathers. And if I can turn out to be half the woman you are, then I'll be fine.
