The debate about which Claire is the better Claire reminded me of something I learned - and was shocked to learn - quite early on in joining the fandom. Someone told me how there were actually a large amount of people who hated book!Claire. This was obviously pre-show and had
Been the case since any form of social media/internet community had been in existence. I was really shocked to discover this but it actually makes sense when you start dipping a toe into fan groups etc. People are obsessed with finding âtheirâ Jamie. Except why donât want to find
âTheirâ Jamie....they want Jamie. And Claire is in the way. When reading the book itâs easy to place themselves in her place, not so easy when you have someone actually portraying her. My theory is that a lot of these women donât like show!Claire (and by association
They donât like CaitrĂona) because with a face to the character itâs harder to put themselves in her place.
That both Sam and CaitrĂona have massively improved on their book counterparts is not in question. Not that either are awful but Sam has definitely softened Jamie while

Still retaining his inherent masculinity and Alpha-maleness. Having emotions isnât emasculating him. The arguments that CaitrĂona somehow protrays show!Claire as some sort of nagging scold makes me think we are watching entirely different shows. She is brave, funny
Smart, resourceful...everything that book!claire is too. And itâs pretty tacky of DG to even raise this as a question. And to comment that there are differences but without defining what those are or whether they are for better or worse. It only helps to lead a pile on to a
Character and actress who is already marginalised in her own fandom. How can people expect fans to respect CaitrĂona when it seems not even DG doesnât? I donât get it. If you arenât here for BOTH Sam and CaitrĂona and the amazing performances that they give us, what can
A person truly get from this show?
