Wilmington

By bringing emotions to the highest, the film took me to the end of silence!

This is not just some episode you can happily just watch. Heart-breaking. The other events and 'what could have been' contrast with the intimate scenes and seem out of place, or disturbingly poignant. But this is outlander after all... drama and romance. And the story threads must unfold...

Wow, for so many years watching this show, and I never felt so cheated by the screenwriters. They just forced the story to fit and somehow justify the deeper plot, that I hope it has later. But it was like the writers said - yeah the audience will believe in anything, let's just make these events so they fit to the larger plot, don't be elegant just make it fit so we can continue with the schedule. Its like they took the audience for fools, at least I felt that way after watching this episode, I hope the next ones justify this horrible and forced story plot.

Another perfect episode that broke my heart. I'm looking forward to the next, as always.

Taxes taxes taxes... I have heard this mentioned since their arrival in the colonies. The War of Independence was NOT about taxes. The War was fought as a work-around to circumvent the Treaty of 1761 and the Royal Proclamation of 1763. These were to prevent the colonists from settling west of the Appalachian Watershed the European powers had to prevent the westward hoe as per agreements/treaties with the First Nations Peoples. Everyone wanted western expansion as a manifest destiny, so the ONLY way to get colonists to the west without being stopped by the European Powerhouses was to have a faux war... have it last 6 to 7 years - to socially nudge the mindset of the colonists, then to all of a sudden have the British Military loose. Voila = a New Country is created and it is neither tied nor bound by the treaties and agreements made by others. This new country was the solution to the 'Indian Problem' as it was viewed. The country was created and the colonists... well went all the way to the Pacific Ocean slaughtering the First Nations Peoples with each advancement westward. To present the story as needing taxes to be raised/paid to build grand homes, is FALSE. They had slave labour and Indentured Servants, so the cost of buildings were just man-hours which the land owners already possessed. Over 80% of Europeans arrived as Indentured Servants and 100% of Africans were sold to the slave traders. Slave / Indentured Servant... treated the same with the exception the IS's would be released at age 21 or 25 (if they had not married nor any pregnancies - if so tied to the landowner for life) and would be granted 40 acres and a mules for their years of servitude typically from the age of 8 or 9. If you were 10 or 11, you were sold into IS as a 8 or 9yo. Stop glazing over the real historical facts and stop perpetrating the myth of taxation as the cause of the faux war of 1776.

*The Proclamation of 1763 angered the British colonists because it prohibited colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountain range. Furthermore, those who had already settled in the region were required to relocate to the eastern side of the Appalachians.
