THREAD: Maybe I’m very emotional right now b/c of personal stuff and feel very helpless. But the last time I went through a really shit time was when I started OL. I always said it “saved” me at the time. I was so moved by Jamie Fraser sending Claire back to save her & Bree.

And so for 1.5 seasons after we first met her, all I wanted was to see Jamie know his sacrifice was worth it. And for B to learn about where she came from and connect to it. And yet IMHO, the show has somewhat undermined this relationship since 306. We lost key moments in S4.

I tried to go with it in 501 even though that one conversation felt a bit unearned. But maybe Adele was wrong. Maybe we can’t have it all. And since then, we’re supposed to believe half smiles and glances make me believe she loves her Da as much as her beloved “Daddy.” And now...

I see that they not only gave the astrolabe moment to LJG vs Jamie, now they’ve cut another bonding moment that’s desperately needed. Yeah, so I’m taking this one a bit personally. It hurts.
