I think it's pretty obvious that she chose to stay. That buzzing tells you whether or not the stones are "active" and whether or not it would have worked. She definitely made an active choice to stay. I honestly think you miss the beauty of the moment because you're like "did she choose to stay" instead of taking in that she did! I would definitely recommend you watch that part again. It's so beautiful when you know it's her active choice. And Loighire (I think I spelled that wrong) was absolutely the one who set them up. They just spent the days they had them waiting in the pit to gather the other witnesses.
Jamie will break your heart ALWAYS, but 99.9% of the reasons will be either him being sweet and wonderful, like this episode, or someone hurting him. The man is a gem and if all men were like him, this world would be a better place.
She also said fucking bbq , they didn't know the word fucking ( remember Jaime asked Claire what it meant ) when she said that it was a given she was from the future!
Jaime does believe her. Not just because he loves her, but because he knows she comes from a place that's infinitely "easier" and he is an educated man and knows that no such place exists. So when she says she's from the future, it dawns on him and it all begins to make sense. The way she speaks, the phrases she uses, how she doesn't seem to understand some of the very basic aspects of 18th century culture. I think it makes him quite relieved that she's not crazy as they ALL must have suspected, she's just going through CULTURE SHOCK!
She picked Jaime. What the book revealed was when she initially showed how she just walked up & touched the stone, her hands started to disappear, which is why he jerked her hands back, the stones were working just fine.
I LOVE the scene where Jamie gets mad at himself for whipping Claire’s butt for trying to get back to her time and Frank. First it gives the impression that he’s mad that she was trying to get back to Frank, but quickly you realize he was upset with himself. How can you not love Jamie? (Not to mention….yum! 😂🤤🤣) Nothing wrong with a little eye candy!
i loved the beginnings of jamie and claire's relationship but this was the episode that got me fully hooked on the show. the ending of s1 was rough (for me) but s2 is incredible. excited! i want to rewatch it all now
Ugh that scene with Jamie in the woods after the trial. So emotional but one of the best part about the show. He is just so damn selfless. Strange enough the word barbeque did exist in 1743 lol but the word fucking did not. Jamie actually mentioned this a few eps ago when he beat Claire and she called him a fucking sadist. He didn't know what either of the words meant lol but I'm assuming in 1743 the word barbecue is much different from our version
One of my favorite scenes in the whole series is when she tells him where she's from. The actor does a marvelous job of looking like "That does not compute.", like his brain has shut down.🤣🤣😛🥰🤣 Good thing he's a superstitious Heilander, even though he keeps TRYING to deny it to her.
Geilis said to Claire that she was from the 60s. She spoke a year to her in the cell "1960-" something I can't remember the rest. But her own time is 1960s.
in the book he didnt believe her right away. She was in histerics, screaming and laughing that of course he wouldnt believe her and that he would believe she was a witch, so he kept repeating he believed her until she calmed down. but then as soon as they got to the stones he grabbed her hand and made her touch the stone. since she looked like she had just die din his own hands he took her away from the rock and then he believed her. and so he left her there to leave back to her world. And after hours of not finding a rational reason that weighted more that the other to go or stay, she followed her heart and went to find Jamie XDD

Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite episode. Claire chose Jamie. Laoghaire had planned everything since the arrest. For Father Bann, he had a hatred against Claire because Claire was the one who saved that boy, not Bann. Bruised ego. Word of mouth spread faster like Gossip. Little secret: Father Bann suffered a painful death. Colum didn't want to help Claire, but in my opinion, I think he didn't want to help Claire because he wanted Claire gone, by making Jamie a widower and he didn't want any wrathful conflicts with his MacKenzie people. If Colum had murdered Claire, Colum knew that Jamie would avenge his wife by not taking up the place Laird of MacKenzie, and there were a slight possible that Jamie would kill Colum. So, having Claire declared as a witch, he washed his hands off her, Jamie would be a widower with a possible chance to be Laird of MacKenzie. It was quite selfish, and cruel. Considering that Claire helped him with his condition through her medical expertise, and Colum, in my opinion, had used Claire.
In the books Claire doesn't truly believe that Jamie believes she is from the future...but he swears it.....until later in this episode. He sees something in the book.....not on the TV show. She chose Jamie. In the books, she realizes that Jamie needs her and she is falling for him. Keep watching. In season 2 we learn more about Gellis.....and season 3 too. (Didnt say she survives....lol, just that we learn more....BINGO!
The part in the book where Frank sees a man in Scottish gear at night in the street looking up at their house and thinks it's a ghost (beginning of the book) reminded me of an experience I had as a teenager (18-19) once. I don't think anyone ever believes me when I tell it. I used to like to take walks in the middle of the night (I was an idiot girl) through the suburbs I grew up in and this one time it was very late, 2 or 3am, it was winter and there was snow everywhere and a really thick fog. Oh, this is in Washington, btw, where I'm from. All of a sudden I hear someone playing bagpipes. I kept walking and they got louder. Then I see a man just standing in the middle of the road dressed in head to toe Scottish highlander gear playing the bagpipes. I should have tried to catch up and talk to him but I was very shy back then and didn't want to bother him. I just listened for a bit and the sound grew softer so I thought he must have started walking in the opposite direction of where I was standing. I could kind of see him though the fog. The next night I went out again to see if he'd be back but he wasn't and I tried a few more times but nothing. I don't know. It was one of the weirdest things. I haven't thought about it for a long time until that one part made me remember. :) Oh this was in Spokane, WA in the 90s, and it on on Myrtle Street close to Minnehaha church and Minnehaha park, btw.
The second time I went to Scotland I could hear bag pipes as I was climbing the stairs at the train stain. But it wasn't a ghost. There was a man playing on the corner a couple of streets over. But I wish it was a ghost or a time traveler🤣
@@AnnaAlexanderAuthor Yeah, I'm not sure what I saw and heard but if it was ghost or a time traveler wanting to be in Scotland he missed the mark since the pacific northwest definitely isn't the Scottish Highlands. Haha. I've always wanted to visit Scotland. It's on my bucket list. So happy you got to go.
If you think Jamie took it too easily - he didn't. In the book, he pretended to believe her to calm her down, then took her to the stones to, I don't know, prove her wrong? Then the way she reacted to the stones, the buzzing, etc. made him realize she wasn't faking it. And he'd heard enough Highland legends for it to be a possibility that there is something about those standing circles...And he realized that she would never be truly his if he didn't let her go, so he did (he said later it took everything in him not to drop to his knees and beg her to stay).
Lally. Lallybroch. It means, among other things, leaning, crooked in a silly manner, lopsided, etc. If a child spins around many times then tries to walk their balance is off and they weave around. They are lally. A drunk on his way home may walk lally and fall off the curb. If you stack books on a chair the pile will become lally and fall over. In this case the broch, or tower, is lally. It does fall down every couple hundred years and they re-build it, but apparently the land in unstable and the new ones end up as lally as the old ones. It can even mean something silly or funny. A clown could be lally.
I am L-O-V-I-N-G watching you watch Outlander from the beginning! You are ME! It's like watching myself watch Season 1 without any knowledge of what comes next and you are perfect! I keep pointing to my TV screen as you react to something "big" and saying, "Yes!! That's what I did/felt!!" Or, "Oh, what you must be thinking now!" This is a whole different perspective compared to the other Outlander podcasts I watch/listen to and I SO appreciate it. Please please keep it up! You are lovely and smart/insightful and so much fun to watch. Thank you!
She chose Jamie. She stayed there all day and said I’ll stand and just run and whichever direction I run is where I should stay and she ran back to Jamie
Gailis was there for a reason and she had "done" by putting together a lot of money for the Jacobites. Maybe she accept to die for her aime. (This was, I were thinking, when I watched this first time. Now I know better. She's such a gambler 😉 - and a weirdo)
Claire's official title is Lady Broch Tuarach. How Claire ended up on trial is...complicated. In the book, Collum arranged for the ecclesiastical court to try Geilis. Claire believes Collum meant to have her killed, too. I disagree, though, bc of something that wasn't includes in the TV show: a rosary made out of jet. Collum gave it to her after she saved Hamish's life. According to superstition, witches can't abide the touch of jet. Jamie used the rosary to prove that Claire wasn't a witch. Collum never meant for Claire to be targeted. But Laoghaire, the scheming wee bitch, knew about the trial bc she listened at doors and she tricked Claire into being there when the witch-takers came. Jamie is the King of All Men, for now and forever. Accept this. It makes life easier if you acknowledge that no man measures up to the shadow that James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser casts. At some point in the future, Claire will say, "Jamie had become the breath in my body." SHE CHOSE JAMIE. She'll always choose Jamie.
In the book it does work. Claire words it "and chaos reached out to grab me and pull me through". Jamie sees the look of terror on her face. He sees her swirling into the strange malestom the space between is and that's what makes him snatch her back. He believes her before because he wants to. After, he believes her because he saw it. Also, I wish they hadn't left out, she didn't call him back to tell him goodbye when he leaves her at the stones. She called him back to plead with him "For everyone who ever loved you, please never set foot on Culloden moor. Don't go there, Jamie." If she can't help Scotland perhaps she can at least save him.
This is one of my favorite episodes! Leery set them up for sure!! But Collum did not give aid once they were caught. Yes, just entertainment got the crowd all ramped up. Yes, Geillis tried to change the outcome of the Jacobite's. NO, Claire chose Jamie!! Based on the books.
Right up front, I started to be disappointed at Anna's comment "Does Claire have a smallpox mark on her? Is that what the Devil's Mark is?" Luckily, Anna didn't seem to dwell on it. And the rest of the reaction was surprise after surprise - most enjoyable! My only advise... please don't be so suspicious of Claire's motives nor Jamie's motives. Each of these protagonists are noble; flawed certainly, but quite good people deep down.
I think it's pretty obvious that she chose to stay. That buzzing tells you whether or not the stones are "active" and whether or not it would have worked. She definitely made an active choice to stay. I honestly think you miss the beauty of the moment because you're like "did she choose to stay" instead of taking in that she did! I would definitely recommend you watch that part again. It's so beautiful when you know it's her active choice.
And Loighire (I think I spelled that wrong) was absolutely the one who set them up. They just spent the days they had them waiting in the pit to gather the other witnesses.
Jamie will break your heart ALWAYS, but 99.9% of the reasons will be either him being sweet and wonderful, like this episode, or someone hurting him. The man is a gem and if all men were like him, this world would be a better place.
Because he's The King of All Men and the sweetest puppy at the same time 😍
It is an immature mind that wants to better others, instead of themselves.
She also said fucking bbq , they didn't know the word fucking ( remember Jaime asked Claire what it meant ) when she said that it was a given she was from the future!
Interestingly enough, they DID have barbeques though, even in that time.
Jaime does believe her. Not just because he loves her, but because he knows she comes from a place that's infinitely "easier" and he is an educated man and knows that no such place exists. So when she says she's from the future, it dawns on him and it all begins to make sense. The way she speaks, the phrases she uses, how she doesn't seem to understand some of the very basic aspects of 18th century culture. I think it makes him quite relieved that she's not crazy as they ALL must have suspected, she's just going through CULTURE SHOCK!
She picked Jaime. What the book revealed was when she initially showed how she just walked up & touched the stone, her hands started to disappear, which is why he jerked her hands back, the stones were working just fine.
Her stockings were still up cuz they tie them up with laces :) So many nice things to come and not so nice :)
I LOVE the scene where Jamie gets mad at himself for whipping Claire’s butt for trying to get back to her time and Frank. First it gives the impression that he’s mad that she was trying to get back to Frank, but quickly you realize he was upset with himself. How can you not love Jamie?

Ugh that scene with Jamie in the woods after the trial. So emotional but one of the best part about the show. He is just so damn selfless.
Strange enough the word barbeque did exist in 1743 lol but the word fucking did not. Jamie actually mentioned this a few eps ago when he beat Claire and she called him a fucking sadist. He didn't know what either of the words meant lol but I'm assuming in 1743 the word barbecue is much different from our version

@@Blue-rl5dp haha right! Sam does a wonderful job at jamie. It's so weird to think people were wary about his casting and now look at him
He let her go back, so now there is no question whether she is there of her own free will. She chose Jamie.
Geilis said to Claire that she was from the 60s. She spoke a year to her in the cell "1960-" something I can't remember the rest. But her own time is 1960s.

My favorite episode. All the feels and more!
I just borrowed the first book from someone and started it today. I'm very excited about it. :)
It snowed all day here yesterday after being almost 90 on Thursday. You are sooo perceptive clocking what the Devil's Mark is at 4:22.
It's 91 and feels like 97 now in CT.
@@katyareads221 Crazy weather.
I started rewatching this show so I can enjoy your video reactions more. And because there's a new season and I can't remember where I left off. :)
