#15: Jamie’s Baby BreeFace: Koochie koochie koo. #16: Jamie’s Fried Green Commando Face: Why is it women always insist on tending to Jamie by a romantic fire? #17: Jamie’s Dream Lover Face: This could have been really awkward if Jamie had been imagining Claire naked. #18: Jamie’s LOTR Face: Or what Legolas and Gimli’s baby would look like. #19: Jamie’s I Miss My Husband Face: Oopsie. #20: Jamie’s Is She Really Pissed At Me?Face: Yes, Jamie. #21: Jamie’s Dead Raven Face: The only thing I kept thinking during this scene was … Fergus couldn’t have thrown a friggin’ rock? #22: Jamie’s Where Did I Go Wrong? Face: Someone needs to teach that Fergus a lesson. #23: Jamie’s One With The Trees Face: With that red hair … not so much. #24: Jamie’s Broken Man Face: It breaks the heart knowing what Jamie’s going through. #25: Jamie’s TMIFace: Only Jenny would nag Jamie about his sex life while he’s wielding a cleaver.
This is what happens when you don’t use birth control during a booty call. Do you think Mary McNabb would have volunteered to put a smile on Jamie’s face if she didn’t know what lay hidden under that bush? #27: Jamie’s Booty Call Face: Last hair joke, I promise. Not sure I’d hire this guy to do my books. #29: Jamie’s Wanted Face: Why is it they can draw a dead-on accurate sketch of Red Jamie, but they can’t seem find him? #30: Jamie’s SasquatchFace: Granted he’s a lot better looking than Big Foot, but it might be a tie in the hairy department. I very much enjoyed this episode of Outlander. It’s quiet yet suspenseful and lots o’ stuff happens as you’ll see in my little something to help you get over the hump this week … Jamie’s Top 30 Looks for Episode 302: SURRENDER. I realize I’ve jumped ahead to Ep303, so I’ll get back on track. There is some handholding involved and even a kiss. Ha ha! Did I fool any of the non-book fans? Oh, well.
Which brings us to … dum dee dee dum … my absolute favorite part of the story – Jamie and Lord John Grey meeting, falling in love and running off together. He must be a second cousin of Lord Melton or something. I never quite understood why the Lieutenant didn’t pocket the pouch for himself. So, Jamie hatches the brilliant plan to have Jenny turn him in to the redcoats for the bounty on his head. Yeah, I know it’s really all that other stuff, but the tapestry. But by George, they will not vandalize the tapestries! They can threaten Jenny only minutes after giving birth. They can throw Ian in the clinker again and again. The breaking point for him seems to be when he finds his family crest slashed with a sword. So, Jamie lives in a cave, hunts by day, scowls by night, hides from the redcoats at all hours until he can stand it no more. The stars of this episode are truly Jamie’s hair and Sam’s eyes … those eyes which do not need dialogue because they speak volumes on their own. Those nasty redcoats – a Scot among them, no less – just will not give up trying to track him down. He’s not scared for himself, of course, he’s afraid for his family. In Ep301, he had the job of lying like a stiff, and he did it wonderfully. In Ep302, his job is to look lonely, frustrated and, yes, scared.
It must be the humidity going to my head. How wonderful would it have been if he had only grunted throughout the entire episode? No? Well, it might have been funny anyway … a little tribute to the cavemen of yore. He’s become a hunter and a brooder, nary whispering a word. So, Jamie (and his hair) are living in a cave which happens to be the same size as a studio apartment I once had. Hope I didn’t just piss off Jamie’s hair. Either way, I’m sure there is already a twitter account with more followers than mine by now. What did y’all think of Jamie’s hair? Did it get its own screen credit? I didn’t happen to notice. Outlander Episode 302: SURRENDER aired on Sunday, 17 September.
