Loved your reactions. Roger is in 1739, Claire arrived in 1743 and Geillis was already there, it was 1968 when Gellis went through the stones the first time.
I love being in Lallybroch again and hearing all the accents! I even missed Laoghaire LOL 23:00 John's brother Hal (Harold, Duke of Pardloe, Earl of Melton) was the military officer who released Jamie during the Battle at Culloden (in honour of him letting John live when he was captured years ago). His son is a soldier. I don't think States was mentioned in the letter. Was the United "States" already established back then? I am not familiar with US history. I miss Laura Donnelly. No disrespect meant to Kristin Atherton (She is very good). Geillis - I think she was already there at that time She was involved with Dougall at some point. I read all the books but do not remember anything.
Cameron read Rogers journal and also read the letters about Jem knowing where the gold is. It’s not like he heard in town that this family time travels and maybe their son knows where the gold is 😂 or at least that’s what they’re saying in the show:
I find you delightful and adorable. I love joining you as we watch the episode and seeing your responses. You are so authentic and sharp.. you always seem to know what is coming. I look forward to the next episode and watching it with you. Happy Thanksgiving.
I didn’t even think until I saw your reaction that Gheillis/Gillian had already met Roger before she went to the past. She met him the day of or the day before… but very briefly. Will she recognize him? It’s probably less than a year later for her whilst Roger has aged a decade or more since that meeting.
I vaguely recall hearing or reading that Geillis arrived roughly 10 years before Claire arrived in 1743, which means that here in 1739, she's been there roughly 6 years. That's long enough she may not recall Roger, though for some reason she remembered Brianna over 30 years later, but we'll just explain it away by Claire jogging her memory when she said "you actually met her." Brianna has a much more striking appearance than Roger in either time period, with her bright red hair and American accent.
@@MeyaRoseGirlYeah I will definitely agree that Brianna is more striking than Roger on many counts and people run across so many people in a lifetime. I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t remember him and she doesn’t anticipate seeing other time travelers. It might mess with her reaction to Claire in “her future”.
Missed ya! ❤ Lol, when you suggested that it would be easier for Cameron to cross to America in the 80s, on instinct I asked out loud "With a kidnapped child?!"
@AnnaAlexanderAuthor Been trying to consider the pros and cons of each in order to make an argument, but the fact is that you're probably right, plus thinking of kidnapped children just makes me sad. You win 💔
I don't think we're ever told what year Geillis arrived at when she travelled from 1968, it doesn't say it in the books either. In her grimoire, she said about the stones requiring gems, and she thought there had to be a blood sacrifice, which may be why she travelled farther than the usual 200/2 years. Filming at Lallybroch in 3 different time periods must have been a challenge. I think Jenny sounds a lot like Laura did, even if she doesn't look a lot like her. Would have been nice to see Ned, must be about 100, though, he could have been early 50s in Rent ep, we next saw him when Claire returned, so maybe 75, could be 85 now. It's a good age for that time period.
Glad to see your back & also safe. If l remember correctly, Geillis arrived 10 yrs before Claire. Can't wait to see(l'm hoping we do) the rest of the 1st season cast members. 😃 Show changes things a lot from what happens in the books. So us book readers do get surprised. Don't remember the letter to Claire being from Lord John about his family. I thought the actress playing Jenny did a good job. Not sure if the actor playing Jamies farther is the same guy. Though Ian's brothers are the same. Remember when you go through the stones, l think, they take you to the direction (place/person) you're wanting or feeling. Roger & Bree thought about home & home was with Jamie & Claire. I think l need to read the books again(before season 8). I've forgotten a lot of things. But the one thing I haven't forgotten is the wild ride we're going on for the 2nd half of season 7.
I'd recommend you go back and watch the show again, Anna. Or at the very least, a detailed recap of each season, because this show is complicated enough if you ARE following the story lines and remember everything that happened in earlier seasons. And you are correct that this was a particularly bad place to have an hiatus because Brianna, Roger, Jem, and Claire/Jamie/Iam are in four different places and now at the end of this episode, Claire/Iam are in a different place from Jamie. I'm thinking Ian Sr. got himself dressed and went out to to the gate so that Young Ian's last memory of his father would be him standing in front of his home waving in loving farewell instead of wasting away inside. He unfortunately won't be able to give that gift to Jenny, Jamie, or any of the other children or grandchildren. I'm impressed that you figured out that Roger was in the wrong time before it was revealed, but you have mentioned before that you have friends that have spoiled the later books for you. Roger travelling to find Jem didn't line up with Jamie and Claire's Scotland visit in the books, so there wasn't a possibility that he'd find them there even if he HAD traveled to the right time, (202 years) but I did think it was a neat trick that the show was able to make non-book readers think for a while that Roger was conveniently going to arrive at Lallybroch while Jamie and Claire were there, just to add to the shock of Brian Fraser opening the door. I find it amusing that they kept the same actress to play both 20-year-old and 59-year-old Jenny even as they had recast the role. Jenny didn't actually believe it in the books. Jenny knew Claire was a seer of some kind because Claire told her to plant potatoes before Culloden, and that saved their lives after Culloden, but predicting famine is a stretch to "I was born in 1918." Michael didn't really believe it either, but a spin-off short story from his perspective shows that he takes Claire's warning seriously enough that he probably will make sure his butt is out of France by 1788. Lord John has NOT been told about time travel at this point in the show. The book is a different matter, but since they are ending the show before the final book comes out, I'm thinking the story line that has Lord John dealing with time-travel issues (which is part of the cliffhanger of book 9) is going to be cut. He may never find out about time travel in the show. Or maybe Claire will tell him in the next episode. 🤷♀ I vaguely recall hearing or reading somewhere that Geillis had been there for about 10 years before Claire arrived in 1743. Roger is currently in 1739. If he stays in this time, he can watch season 1 in person.
Gaellis had been in the past for sometime before we 1st see her. She establishes herself in the community, marries the prosecutor fiscal and is wed for a while. But I can't remember what year she went back
I don't remember when Gellis went back, but she traveled farther back than Claire did. ( Claire 202 years- Gellis 215 years ?).so she was already married to Arthur Duncan. The time Roger is in , she had never met him & she hadn't given birth to Dougals' child BUCK ! I assume they will explain what went wrong to get to the time they ended up in,( I loved that story), although I'm sure it will be brief in the show. I wondered how they would get Claire to go back, clever switch of the story, but it works well. Interesting times ahead. Hope you get your power back. I'll stick with Minnesota's boring snowfalls rather "bomb' freak storms ! Take care.
Hi really good to see your reaction I also watch 2 sisters reactions Mop stands for my outlander purgatory the letted from lord john doesn't make sense to the characters in the book it was Marsili youngest the dwarf that was sick and Larriy recieved the letter made more sense as she looks on them as immediate family and everyone encouraged her to leave but for some reason they have changed it but thinking about the change I think they should have made it William this would have made more sense for the characters and as for Roger cant wait to see your reaction to his story in this time line
Marsali and Fergus are not in season 7 because the actors had other commitments. Plus this season is covering stories from books 7 and 8, so A LOT has been cut. But they ARE coming back in season 8, thankfully. I don't think it is too much of a stretch that Claire would come running at Lord John's request because he IS a dear friend of the family that has been raising Jamie's son all this time, which makes him family in my book. I actually was more curious about how they were going to explain Laoghaire letting go of Jamie's alimony because in the book she came to Claire and offered to give up the alimony in exchange for her to go to Marsali and save Henri-Christian. The show just simplified it down to Laoghaire agreeing to stop alimony in exchange for Balriggen.
It would be easier for Claire to go to Craig Na Dun, go through the stones and end up in Scotland in the 1970s, then take a plane to the United States. Head down to Ocracoke, then go back through there and then up to Boston. Would be a hell of a site easier than going by ship for weeks, then finally to Boston. We're getting into some "Game of Thrones" traveling here. Also, how is it Geillis and Brian look older than they did when we last saw them. And I'm more than certain, Anna, you could write a better story than what Gabaldon's mess is.
The show is really not doing a good job at telling us how hard time travel is in Gabaldons world. In the books it's clear that it gets harder for each time and Clair is certain she will not survive another trip. The show now finally shows how it effects Buck in this episode - his heart is giving up - and how Roger isn't even sure he survived when he wakes up at first.
Travel still takes the normal amount of time, but the books and show aren't going to bother showing these weeks/months-long journeys unless something significant happens on them. Why would they waste precious screen time on the months-long trans-Atlantic voyages or the months that Ian spent travelling when he rescued William from the Great Dismal and met his son at Shadow Lake while Jamie and Claire were stationed at Ticonderoga? The show has always skipped weeks or months at a time, and it's perfectly reasonable to assume that the travelling happens in those skips. Three years have passed from the beginning of this season, alone.
Oh, so after "only" 13 months we finally get the second part of the seasons ? Isn't season splitting not a great thing ? And now i just have to hope it doesn't take too long until we also get the german version here 🙄 But at least your video so far was a reminder for me, else i would have totally forgotten about that show 😟
There's some kind of politics behind the scenes making the two parts of season 7 still considered one season even though it's double the length of season 6 and the hiatus between the two parts was LONGER than the hiatus between all previous seasons (besides the one between 5 and 6, which was over 2 years because of COVID.)
Loved your reactions. Roger is in 1739, Claire arrived in 1743 and Geillis was already there, it was 1968 when Gellis went through the stones the first time.

Yea, you are BACK! So glad you are safe and sound! BTW I know why Roger ended up in the wrong time, but I'm not telling! ; )
🤭 shhhh 😜
I just hope that Roger not gets caught and tortured by Jack Randall. I mean he is alive in that time, right ? 🤨
...it's that pregnant puse preventing that first attempt to share that yet to form thought... KILLS me every time!
Cameron read Rogers journal and also read the letters about Jem knowing where the gold is. It’s not like he heard in town that this family time travels and maybe their son knows where the gold is 😂 or at least that’s what they’re saying in the show:
It’s great to see you again. Love to watch your reactions.
I love outlander , but I adore you !!! Your reaction videos make me so excited for the series to be back .
You just popped up on my YT. So glad you did! I love your sense of humor. I've subscribed and hit the notification, looking forward to more lol
So Gaillis met Brianna and Roger in 1968 but briefly. I don't think she ever saw him in the 1700s.
I find you delightful and adorable. I love joining you as we watch the episode and seeing your responses. You are so authentic and sharp.. you always seem to know what is coming. I look forward to the next episode and watching it with you. Happy Thanksgiving.

In the 80s, yes. It was probably easier
