Do No Harm

You think someone in the future would be smarter... You think someone so intelligent would fight for the greater good. She dies none is this and c only risks more people because of her supposed greater morals or intelligence even after being warned.

Great writing to have the viewer so passionately upset. But you just have to hate Claire and her overly righteousness.. And thinking she will singlehandedly win a civil war over poor Jaime's back.

Even with every river and stream in the America's having a dam and flood controls, there are still Floods. During the 1760s to have a house built on such Flat Flood Plain so near the river... the house would be flooded many times per year and would not actually be able to remain standing. Houses near rivers would have been built on pile driven posts to elevate the house at least 20 feet (6 to 7 metres) above the high water mark. That house would could not have lasted a single torrential rain flood. Do the set makers not have a basic understanding of geography, geology, and architecture??

I'll keep the situation generic, not spoiling this episode, just a comment about Claire's intelligence - or occasional lack thereof. Although I'm still a fan of most episodes. It's 1770 in the Southern States and once again Jaimie is at risk of being killed for Claire's insistence on expressing her opinion... this time that she finds slavery abhorrent. Maybe the show's writers are afraid if they have Claire appear to go along with the practice outwardly - even if it's to keep her group from being killed - she will be seen by the viewer as somehow (ridiculously) kind of approving of the practice. She is a character that we're always told is smart, yet she's too dumb to keep from shouting her opinion when lives are on the line. Not just this episode, but several. Last season when she was told it's safest to stay down below deck of a ship when a storm hit, she (of course) did not. She tells the physically stronger nephew to stay below deck, then goes up top where Jamie must abandon steering the ship to help her when she starts to go overboard. I'm still a fan, but I wish Claire would be a little smarter in life-threatening situations.

Claire is officially my least favourite character , the producers killed the last two brain cells she had ... now she wants to end slavery ? im soo irritated with this idealistic, unreal , naive approach..

i cant handle people like this in real life, now u want me to put up with it for a tv show ?

River Run looks amazing. But Outlander has always been beautifully visualized, so I expected nothing less. Jocasta's character is stunning. I knew what was going to happen, and it still shocked me. It's absolutely worth watching, as always.
