Apart from the fact they hadn't spent enough time together since they married, once the war was finally over Frank took her on a "Let's explore MY genealogy" themed second honeymoon. Recall that when Claire brought up adoption, Frank was firmly against it, and didn't bother asking Claire about her feelings. I found his stance on this topic to be especially thoughtless considering that Claire herself is an orphan. Frank seems to be all about what HE wants. Also, apart from the implied doubt as to Frank's fidelity during the war, there's the scene where he gets embarrassed and annoyed when Claire gets burned on the tea kettle and curses in front of someone he wants to impress. There was zero concern from him over Claire's injury. Finally, there is a 12 yr age gap between them, and Claire was very young when she married Frank. Considering her nomadic childhood and her wartime experiences, I doubt life as Frank's little woman would have run smoothly - especially with no Bree as the glue to hold them together.<br /><br />Book Frank is condescending, self-absorbed, cheating, selfish, hurtful, and a racist. Just because he agrees to take back a pregnant Claire, that doesn't make him a hero. He knows at this point that he's shooting blanks (I've always wondered what prompted him to get tested while Claire was gone), and this baby is his chance for a child, but he isn't kind about it by making it sound like he's doing it for the sake of appearances. <br /><br />The show's version of Frank as the wronged victim and sainted martyr - especially while making Claire out to be the too cold and too busy bitch - annoys the fire out of me, and does an injustice to the books' characters. Of course, male writers and producers thinking they need to "fix" this story and create a love triangle where one didn't exist annoys me, too. But at least now, yay! St. Frank is dead! And there was much rejoicing! ;)<br /><br />Dolittledolittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918644216099319518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-43158195608196901972017-09-30T17:26:52.878-04:002017-09-30T17:26:52.878-04:00Totally agree.

That alone questions his love for Claire, and in the show, he knows Leoghaire tried to have Claire burned at the stake. He saw she standing in front of Claire as she was being whipped, sneering and saying, "I will dance on your ashes." And he married Leoghaire knowing this?? How in the world can the show write this ok?? I just don't see how they can. I don't see how anyone will be able to believe in Jamie's love after episode 308.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308730533572178976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-91822546991747516052017-09-28T17:10:54.869-04:002017-09-28T17:10:54.869-04:00I am hoping the thing with Leoghaire will show him...I am hoping the thing with Leoghaire will show him having problems bc his heart is still with Claire. If not I will be very upset. That's why I feel they should have shown flashbacks of good times or endearing times with Jamie. After S2 and the way it pulled us away from their deep feelings for each other it's a miracle if any non book reader believes in the intensity of their feelings for each other.

I was viewing episode 1 again and then I went back to episode 1 of Season 1 mainly because I wanted to listen to the differences in the theme song this year. You know what I noticed? In the opening scenes with Claire and Frank this season and the first scenes you see of them in season 1 (when they are arriving in Inverness) Claire is wearing THE SAME OUTFIT. A blue wool coat, burgundy colored dress, a blue scarf that compliments both. Not the same scarf in both scenes but very close. That small little detail really tells a lot!

In 9-inch-diameter pie pan, toss shallots with oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until shallots are deep brown and very tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. <br /><br />Boil broth and Port in large saucepan until reduced to 3 3/4 cups, about 30 minutes. Whisk in tomato paste. (Shallots and broth mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill.) <br />Pat beef dry; sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. In large roasting pan set over medium heat, sauté bacon until golden, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Add beef to pan; brown on all sides over medium-high heat, about 7 minutes. Transfer pan to oven; roast beef until meat thermometer inserted into center registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 45 minutes. Transfer beef to platter. Tent loosely with foil. <br />Spoon fat off top of pan drippings in roasting pan. Place roasting pan over high heat. Add broth mixture and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Transfer to medium saucepan; bring to simmer. Mix 3 tablespoons butter and flour in small bowl to form smooth paste; whisk into broth mixture and simmer until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Whisk in 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in roasted shallots and reserved bacon. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Cut beef into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spoon some sauce over. Pass remaining sauce.<br /><br />Note: Tawny port is the listed ingredient (and my personal preference) but any dry red does well. This sauce/gravy is simply divine over potatoes mashed with butter and sour cream.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-75842815563354929002017-09-28T06:49:11.239-04:002017-09-28T06:49:11.239-04:00My concern, is that they are "whiting washing...My concern, is that they are "whiting washing" Frank to the degree that it will be harder to tell which husband was truly the better choice for Claire. If the show is victimizing Frank, I have to say they are not showing Jamie's grief for his loss of Claire very well. In this episode, Jamie basically gets over Claire's loss and has closure. Claire, on the other hand, is still grieving after almost 20 years, "No amount of time exists." The next episode and future events (aka. Leghaire) are going to bring Jamie's feelings for Claire even more into question, leaving me wondering if I feel Frank was the better man! Which I never thought after reading the books.

This is something that ...I absolutely agree 100%!! This is something that has bothered me since the beginning of the tv series. "Pooooor Frank..." The books do such a great job of showing just how different Jaime and Frank are in terms of their personal character, as husbands, and as MEN. And I think the show falls short of this. Jaime would never have put up with Claire's nonsense (like the cup throwing (that probably would have been a turn on to Jaime, lol)) but he wouldn't have given up on her or their marriage either. Think of how understanding and respectful he was of her relationship with Frank. It was these differences that drew Claire to Jaime. Tv Frank seemed so victimized by Claire. I found myself feeling sorry for him when what I really wanted was to dislike him.
