Amazing episode! Just trying to bring my thoughts together for a post!

Older Fergus is perfect for the role!

I didn't love it.

I didn't think it was bad, I just found it kind of slow I guess? I don't know. I

a bit at how their bodies hadn't changed at all in the past 20 years.

So what is Jamie hiding from Claire?

I liked it, but it was slow for me at times. Loved Older Fergus! Young Ian was good too.

There were parts I loved and other parts not so much. I was annoyed that they spent more time shooting Jamie's sex scene with his child's mother than they did with being reunited with Claire... but at the same time, their first sex scene was so slow I almost fell asleep and to do it three times! We just didn't need that.

Older Fergus is perfect! He has the same eyes, nose and hair as little Romann. I am very happy with this.

Plot wise, it's annoying me how much they've left out at the moment. Claire was shocked after finding out about one child... you could tell she was heartbroken, but accepted it. Jamie shouldn't have held back the rest of the information about his life.

Which brings me to my next point, Claire narrated that they spoke for ages and filled each other in about their lives, but then when they were lay in bed she didn't know anything about Jamie's life since they were split?!

On an enjoyable note, Jamie had a few great moments, such as his puns with not knowing what photos were and the bikini. Those really amused me. I also loved seeing Claire have breakfast with the ladies of the night too.

Yes, it was slow at times, especially the sex

sourburst · 10-23-2017, 04:07 AM

I feel like I grew old waiting for them to unclothe each other.

I was literally sat there making joke thrust movements at the tv screen like "come on" and Luke was just shouting crude sayings that basically meant "just get on with it."

Then after the second sex scene, I was like this is just like the wedding episode, just more boring.

Red Dragon · 10-23-2017, 06:43 AM

I didn't find their first sex scene(s) boring in the first season. I just felt this one was lacking the electricity they had earlier, and they tried to drag it out too long. If there had been a lot of tension that might have been OK, but I wasn't feeling much tension so then it was just bland.
