Sizzle! April 4 + 9 months = lots of babies in time for Christmas! But further: oh my goodness, this is going to be amazing, ground-breaking television. The depth of the story plus Ron Moore's amazing adaptation is going to the talk of television for 2015!
I know what you're talking about. Without spoiling anyone; when it comes to the first scene many people will not be pleased with, especially women: you have to watch it in the context of the time period and context of the upbringing. As for the second scene, which is way more traumatic... Well, we'll have to just trust the creators to do a good and sensible job.
Me too. Some moments really have ups and downs and I don't understand everything (reading it right now). I kinda hope they do not show all these scenes or I don't know soften them even if it isn't for the sake of realism.
Having read the books and knowing what violence could be done right from the start of this new episode, which a lot of women would have a problem with, the writers could get away with not doing it. In the book, before leaving Claire in the clearing to go meet Horrocks (from Episode 8), Jaime says something very specific about what will happen if she disobeys him. But in the show, he doesn't say it, thus giving the writers an out, so they could get away with not doing it. Plus, the first promo is a scene from later in the book, actually when they return to Leoch!
They could, but they're not going to. I know that they filmed that scene, because it's Starz and they don't shy away from that kind of stuff. Moreover, why would they make a very good historical fiction but refrain from the ugly of the 18th century? I read a very good article, it was analysis of that scene, which, from what I read, helped many people to cope with it. I think it's one of the scenes that takes part in changing the dynamic between Claire and Jamie, mostly in a sense of what he can and can't do when it comes to Claire. I think it helps them to better understand boundaries of their relationship while still taking the time period into consideration. I'm very sure the scene will be hard to watch and that many people will just skip it, but I'm really curious how are they going to do it and what consequences it's going to have.

I am not sure how I feel about this second half, as I read the books and I will not be pleased at all with some of the upcoming violence!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait till April! Looks so good :)

ReplyDeleteSurely that question was rhetorical.
ReplyDeleteApril is still so far away...:-(

THE FEELS GUYS !!! THE FEELSSSS !!!! CAN'T WAIT
ReplyDeleteThe books are good. I re-read them when I watched the first epi....and seriously...I would skip the scary parts. IMO.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Some moments really have ups and downs and I don't understand everything (reading it right now). I kinda hope they do not show all these scenes or I don't know soften them even if it isn't for the sake of realism.
ReplyDeleteTotally agreed!
ReplyDeleteHowever, given the directors comments of the show....I suspect that they are going to go full tilt on the real aspects.
