Damn Claire!!, she just can't listen to Jamie, "stay away from the witch", he said, but no, as soon she receives a freakin 18th century's WhatsApp, she runs to her place, stupid lady...
I haven't seen the episode yet, but in the books, Jaime asks her to stay away from Gellis while he goes on a hunting trip with the Duke. A day or two after he has left, Laoghaire (L' eery) or however her name is spelled goes to Claire and tells her that Gellis needs her. Claire goes into town, talks to Gellis who puts some stuff into her tea to try to ask her about where she comes from. About the time that she snaps out of it, people are banging on the door, claiming that Gellis is a witch. They arrest both Claire and Gellis. It turns out that Laoghaire knew that they were about to arrest Gellis for witchcraft and since Claire was there she would be tried as an accomplice.
I think I am forgetting a few of the details because it has been awhile, but that is the basic gist. I will update this answer if after I watch it and there are major differences between it and the book.
I can't tell you because I stop reading when I got to the spanking part, there I figured out that I was about to spoil to myself the whole show, but I can tell you that they're very close to the book in the first part of the show, so I'm pretty sure that continues now.
The first book Outlander is entirely from Claire's perspective. So, you understand that Laoghaire and Jamie have met and talked outside of Claire's narrative, you are not entirely sure of what transpired. I don't think that the previous episodes of Laoghaire appearing halfway naked in front of Jamie happened.
Additionally (in the books), Laoghaire did go to Claire for love advice - but it was advice, not a spell in the books. Claire at that time was under the impression that the two both mutually liked each other. While there was admiration of Jamie's character and appreciation of his looks, Claire really was committed to her marriage until she remarried Jamie.
Gellis was a much bigger character in the books. While I think that the second part of the series is still done well - the book is much better. It has a more fleshed out plot and it reveals other side stories that we are missing and play into the overall story later. I would recommend reading it. The first part is really slow, but then somehow you reach a point you just can't put it down. And you must read the next one and the next....
Yeah, there are some parts that we think, hmm it sounds better in the book, but the truth is, that we would need like 10 seasons of 20 episodes each, to cover it all. For example the first scene of Jamie and Claire, when Jamie has a dislocated shoulder, well, in the book he has the shoulder injury and the shot in the collar bone too, so Claire attended both injuries before they left the cabin, and the reason why Jamie gets unconscious on the road is a 3rd. wound he suffers in hands of the red coats in the mini-battle we also saw in the show, and it takes a few pages in the book to get to the part where Jamie explains to Claire that it was his uncle who shot him and made him fall from the horse because he was trying to get to Lallybroch, which makes us wonder WHAT THE HELL??!!, he uncle shot him??, and therefore another huge plot develops from there, so imagine from one scene you get like 5 at least, so my point is, that I understand why they make some modifications, I mean, the story is HUGE!!.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Great episode. Amazing show!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like something I would like better.
ReplyDeleteA couple of episodes back Claire told Laoghaire how to make Jaime ''love'' her and I thought how wilfully ignorant can you be.
Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! imagine that!!
