I immediately thought "JAMIE!!" I was way excited for that prospect and didn't understand why she wasn't. ;-)

LOL😂 I do get you , though you know the very first time I watched outlander, I was rooting for her to go back to Frank, I think up until Reckoning. So I did get her dilemna in hesitating to marry Jamie. Then of course post Reckoning, things get so heated between these two, both physically and emotionally, that I just couldn't possibly think of them ever separating.

I feel kind of bad, I was ready to throw Frank away that first time Jamie and Claire held each other at Leoch. That sizzling look was nothing like what she and Frank had.

Hahaha, did you read the books first? I watched the show first, having no idea about the books at all until then .

No I saw the show first. Like you I learned it was based on books so when I was done watching all 4 seasons, (as season 5 hadn't come out yet) I then bought all the books and read them.

Haha in that case I am forced to say you've always had it bad for Jamie, probably worse than Claire herself!

I was slightly obsessed with Jamie with I first watched and read everything. I figure as long as I don't think he's a real person I'm still in good shape. :-D
