Season 3 Ep9

Oh shit, the whole flipping gang is going to Jamaica

We brought some old trunk and junk from lollybroch, including marseli, rhymes with parsley

Everyone must touch the horseshoe

Barflander

Why is whiloghby trying to persuade Jamie to give him his testicles?

Oh, why did he speak of testicles and then make the snip snip gesture when he just wanted to give him acupuncture This is confusing

The snip snip gesture returns during whiloughby’s eunuch story. This time with expected meaning. I am very confused

The ancient struggle between superstition and reason can only be mediated with story. Thanks Whiloughby for this well timed recitation of your life story

He loves every woman! Every one! The entire category of woman. He is really shitting on Scottish women. “Rank as bears” oof. Wiloughby is venturing into incel territory here with this yellow worm stanza

The British suck, looking like they will be pressing men into service

But I guess these dudes just have a raging plague And they need someone to sort them out

Jesus Mary and Joseph. It is grim below deck

Claire. You can pull a Scarlet O’Hara. you can just pick up your skirts and run away. Blame it on your delicate female nerves

Love how Claire is always citing her Hippocratic oath, but nobody else has any honor.

Better just steal the doctor lady and run away with her on our ship

hello there sweet one! if you could only watch one outlander episode for the rest of your life, which would you pick and why? 💜

Well hello there @ecampbellsoup!!! What a fun ask! As per usual, I also think I gave it way more thought than necessary LOL xD

*deep breath* Okay, so this one required some thought… and I think the answer surprised me. As much as I love the Big™ episodes like The Wedding, Faith, Dragonfly in Amber, A. Malcolm, The Birds and The Bees, I honestly think my answer wouldn’t be any of those. Faith and DiA simply because I can hardly even rewatch those now without bawling my eyes out. And as much as that pain hurts so good, I don’t think I could only do those for the rest of my life.

So one really good overall episode that has a little bit of everything (fun and humor; angst and bittersweet; action and drama; and, of course, Secksay Frasers Time!) that I keep coming back to is…

3x09, “The Doldrums”

Even though I didn’t choose it, it was one of the episodes that I was debating over for my Season 3 pick on my favorite eps list. I think it’s probably an unpopular opinion and very much an underrated episode, but it honestly is just so well-rounded and has some of my favorite elements in it.

Goodnight, Moon (feat. Parent!Frasers and Cuddly!Frasers Part I)

Claire x Marsali relationship development (feat. Sassy!Claire)

“You look like a pincushion” (feat. Ridiculously Cute!Frasers)

Flirty!Frasers

Secksay!Frasers

“I like the grey” (feat. Cuddly!Frasers Part II)

Not to mention some great side character moments like Yi Tien Cho’s epicness, a really great Milord x Fergus conversation (“If you were forced to marry Milady, then I am forced to breath. My heart, it is forced to beat.” 💜), Claire getting to showoff her BAMF healer skills (and JAMMF’s understanding of her need to heal), the introduction of Elias Cinnamon Roll Too Pure For This World Pound, and separation drama (which inevitably leads to amazing Jamie x Claire reunions)! There was just so much to love in this episode and I go back to watch it frequently.

It also just felt like Classic Jamie x Claire, the kind that we all fell in love with. When the show purposefully and dutifully puts them at the heart of the story where they belong and lets the rest of the characters / plots flow around them, that is when we get the type of television other shows should be envious of.

Thank you again, Campbell, for such a fun ask!

And now I’m officially making this a TMS PSA: if you don’t follow @ecampbellsoup, what are you waiting for?! Get to it and go enjoy her lovely still edits!

“hate the “King of Men” but after. That’s not even in the books, that’s some fandom bullshit unless I am gravely mistaken. Have some chill, show. THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one! Also, lame and corny. Is Jamie really King of Men? Yes, he’s hot AF but his life is a mess and everything he touches goes to shit!

I am here for Claire, so when it comes to Jamie Fraser my attitude can be a bit, “Do YOU, girl.” But yeah, “fan service” can be out of control in places.
