Was it organic that we go from Murtagh to Duncan Innes? I don’t really think so even though I completely understand why Jocasta is rejecting Murtagh. But Duncan hasn’t been around to let us see him as an option.
The ring scene was… I don’t even know. Why would Philip ask for her rings? Because he admired them? I just think that is a stretch.
(more…)While fleeing from Scotland after Culloden, Hector and Jocasta Cameron appear to be in the custody of a trunk of the Frenchmen’s Gold. Jocasta seems surprised by it’s presence and it is believe Hector uses this gold to finance River Run after they come to the Colonies. If Hector and Jocasta took a trunk of the French gold to the Colonies after Culloden then what was the trunk on the Selkie Island? Is there more than one trunk of gold?

Adso is such and adorable “wee cheety” as Jamie would put it. I love it. I miss Rollo though. OMG, I loved ‘The Impetuous Pirate’ in the episode. It is actually in the book Voyager. It was in the surgical lounge and Claire’s reading it and it is a very naughty book. Joe is sitting across the way and when Claire is shocked by the love scene, Joe asks if she got to a specific page. It is just a great addition.

Jamie’s been walking a tight rope trying to find the right balance of loyalty to the crown and what he knows about history. Murtagh wanting to fight doesn’t help but Jamie goes along trying to influence and assist when he can. However, Knox’s inquiry into Ardsmuir forces Jamie’s hand. After Jamie is discovered to be a Rebel by Knox, Jamie strangles him to protect Murtagh and the others. Jamie hides the evidence by burning the Ardsmuir prison roll and starting a fire which destroys all the evidence as to his actions. Source: Perpetual Adoration
Despite Jamie’s best efforts to forestall a battle, Tryon gets his skirmish and Brianna realizes it is the Battle of Alamance which many believe sparked the American Revolution. The Battle of Alamance took place on May 16, 1771 and was the final battle of the Regulator Movement. It is considered to be the opening battle of the American Revolution.

While aboard the Glorianna, Roger encounters Morag MacKenzie and realizes she’s his four-times-great grandmother and her son his three-times-great grandfather. He protects them from the Captain: Stephen Bonnet. While coming back from warning Murtagh about Governor Tryon’s intentions during the Battle of Alamance, Roger comes across Morag MacKenzie. He tries to warn her but is confronted by her husband (Roger’s 4x great grandfather) Buck MacKenzie who is also the son of Geillis Duncan and Dougal MacKenzie. Buck beats and ties up Roger, leaving him to be thought a Regulator. Geillis is a time traveler. Could Buck be a time traveler too? Source: The Ballad of Roger Mac, Down the Rabbit Hole

Go Lauren Lyle. Lauren was taught how to butcher a pig and a goat prior to filming and actually did the butchering on set. A badass indeed. Honestly, I don’t know if I could do it.
