Yes, I was talking about that scene. I just... I understand Jaime's reasoning. I don't understand Claire. If I were Claire it would have immediately turned off whatever feelings I might have starting feeling for that man. I just can't reconcile that scene with Claire being in love with Jaime. Just- how can you be so madly in love with someone that beat you? Ever once, even if it was socially accepted at the time. It's something I can't wrap my head around and it just doesn't allow me to enjoy the show.
Plus I got irked by an interview Gabaldon made, basically defining reactions like mine excessive and ones of knee-jerk feminism. If this is knee-jerk feminism to her, I'm not sure I'm comfortable immersing myself in a world of her creation and immersed in her world-view.
/his character did something even worse on the last episode and I don't know why I'm watching anymore/ - OMG, even worse?!? O_o Worse than last season's horrific rape? (Which at least was interesting in its subversion, with the male character having been the one raped and not the female one. Plus I have to admit Jaime suffers beautifully.) IDK if I want to know what Randall did now. Except I kind of want to at the same time? *bites nails*
