S07.E07: A Practical Guide for Time-Travellers - Outlander

Sure, now they show the hanging in the previouslies. They could have done that last week. I get they wanted that cold opening to introduce him. I did like the dissolve of Claire writing the letter and Bree reading it. And they pointed out that they're staying in the camper, and not the house yet.

Good also to show that the gem in the ring was burnt. 

I don't want to be overly much, but, sadly, this is a song of the lass who is gone.

I liked how Jamie snipped at the book being made poorly. 

I have to give Rankin credit; his complete unraveling the entire time was funny at the dinner.

I would have thought easier for Roger to bring Buck to school; to teach *language*, than Bree bringing him to work. Although, he might be good security. 

I was going to call out Phil Collins, but I had no idea the song came out in 1980. I remember it first from Miami Vice. 

You'd think the time it takes to reload the rifles that there would still be value in archers. I never got that.

that would be stupid when they don't know it really exists.  what, Rob thinks he's going to get Jem to tell him where it is, then he's going to find a ship to take him to NC, find the gold, and come back?  in the middle of the Revolutionary War?  haha, good luck dude.

I think that's probably the plan there. Maybe Rob had a couple of rings. Grab Jem and the gems (ha!) and go through. Clearly, this isn't the kind of show that's going to kill a child. Jem is the only one that knows where the gold is. Which, stands to reason, as you said, how Rob knew he could travel. Although everyone seems to now.

oh, maybe he's related to Gellis' family (her original family from the 1970s - not the Mackenzies of the 1700s) and that's where he also heard stories about traveling through the stones?

The show is what it is, but they're in rural Scotland, so it's not outside of reason that Gellis had an extended family; she was from the 60s, but you think maybe 100+ years or so of a couple of towns in the area. There's a lot of marriages but everyone is cousins. He could have heard of stories. There could be a lot them that can travel. I'm not really going to call ooc on the show on that.

I did not need that much of my precious Outlander time dedicated to “In the Air Tonight” drum solo sex with Roger and Bree. Really. I didn’t.

You kind of did though. How many people you think did it to Phil Collins in the 80s? All of them. 

I don't think Jamie is dead either, again, because it's just not that kind of show. Wounded? Sure. He's also 60 years old and in the middle of one of the most pivotal battles of the Revolution. He's got to be dehydrated. What I do call ooc on is a veteran, probably one of ten, of Culloden, is reduced to a low rank of actually being on the battlefield. The show even showed at Ticonderoga that he should be an aide-de-camp to the general, if not a Lt. General himself. That's just patently absurd. Especially since he's got intelligence via Claire that no one else has.
