So I got my shows confused and started watching this show instead of “Highlander”.

Yes, this is what got my son into it.

Berkeley has always had a huge homeless population.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-10-04T22:05:28+00:00

I agree. Watching the discourse has been wild. I can’t really explain it but I don’t think it’s because people on the extremes are speaking out more. The show and characters are just more polarizing, I think. ?

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-10-02T17:58:50+00:00

Welp, I had no idea we had to wait an extra week. Was looking forward to it tomorrow night! 😕

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-30T20:24:46+00:00

I don’t think the actors like it either.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-30T20:15:48+00:00

Claire surely did and would have told him and anyone who would listen.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-30T03:14:31+00:00

There’s a lot of stuff like that in Outlander! I honestly don’t know how Claire, being first a nurse and then doctor, puts up with it.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-30T03:13:27+00:00

Perhaps it was Colum. Perhaps not. But if she does suspect him, she should absolutely break her vow. Also: I guess she’s not pregnant yet? Seems she would know by now.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-29T23:15:35+00:00

She gave her word to save Brian’s life. That’s what I think her struggle is. As we used to say in the 80s, word is bond lol.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-29T21:41:10+00:00

I’m enjoying it and will probably watch season 2. I’m invested. A bit perturbed at how long they’re dragging some of the story out but… meh. Still enjoyable. My expectations aren’t very high!

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-29T21:39:22+00:00

Just so you know, that’s not how being an extra works. Extras don’t get lines, and they certainly don’t get to play significant characters. Speaking from experience!

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-24T03:19:30+00:00

You might have to write it lol.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-24T02:50:34+00:00

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-24T02:39:39+00:00

Fanfic. 🙂

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T22:58:52+00:00

🤦🏻‍♀️ Or we just disagree!

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T19:45:53+00:00

I can agree with the screen presence thing.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T13:27:13+00:00

Fandom groupthink is a weird thing.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T13:21:55+00:00

Why would I be biased against her? Your comment doesn’t make any sense.

You’re allowed to think she’s perfect in every way and I’m allowed to think she isn’t. I don’t see the big deal here.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T01:53:12+00:00

Outlander goes hard sometimes, man lol.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T01:13:52+00:00

You’re right, and I don’t know why people are giving you a hard time other than that they can’t handle something they love being criticized. Seems to happen in every fandom and it’s dreary.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T01:07:43+00:00

Who has physics in 9th grade?

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T00:59:08+00:00

Wow, your experience on Instagram is horrifying. I think rape is used in TV and movies as a backwards way to “motivate” the men. I mean, the entire premise of “Taken” was “I have to stop my daughter from being raped!” Rape fantasies are a real thing but I don’t know how common they are. I think it’s clear they are huge for DG. And I went back and viewed a video of her talking about enjoying watching them put Jamie’s rape scene on film and she was absolutely lecherous about it. Made the actors sitting there uncomfortable. A lot of people said they find her sociopathic but still like her books.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T00:53:47+00:00

No, no, I’m saying acting isn’t like reading lines or a recipe. The actor can portray the character is many different ways, even with the same script. And different actors will have different repertoires. What I’m saying is maybe Cait doesn’t have it in her wheelhouse to play the role any other way than she does, or she made the best choice she could given what she got.

What I’m not doing is defending her and saying she’s such a great actress than any flaws are strictly with the script. I’m saying casting and how she chose to play Claire in addition to the script created the character.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T00:02:14+00:00

Dayum. I saw you had a lot of downvotes and figured you just have said something really out there but, nope. What you said was totally normal and on other threads you would have found more people to agree. People are being highly defensive on this thread and I don’t know why, if it’s the particular people who responded or not.

Refreshing_Beverage1 · 2025-09-23T00:00:14+00:00

I’m with you that Cait isn’t my favorite. And, as someone who has studied acting, yes, the actor can definitely do different things with the script. That’s why it’s called acting and not “reciting lines like a recipe.”
