Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I love Hoyt and Jessica, so even though it kinda makes no sense with where the story has gone, I'm glad the show just decided to say "Fuck it" and got those two back together again.

I cannot with the Bill/Sookie/Eric anymore. I really don't care about any of them except that Eric's Sookie induced stupid has gotten close to getting Pam killed again and if Pam dies I will cut someone. I'm just ready for it to be done. The whole show could've wrapped up for me with that dinner at Bellefleur's (nee Merlotte's) with Arlene telling Lafayette to hurry up and get to the table to eat and Lafayette's voice from the kitchen, "I'm coming, hooker." Yes. That's how everything should have ended.

To be fair, the Sookie Stackhouse books were not enormously consistent in terms of sensibility, IMO. Veering away from the source material was not always a mistake. Like keeping Lafayette alive: good choice.

Likewise the absence of Quinn and Bubba.

Because books.

Is anyone else watching Outlander?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Amy, I was just coming in here to ask if anyone knew where to find it for streaming/download! I thought it was available on iTunes but apparently not.

Amy, I was planning on watching it, but we don't have Starz anymore.

Um, not above-board, that I know of.

I do agree with -t's point about Lafayette. Absolutely.

I am watching Outlander, Amy...while simultaneously listening to the books. (It turns out that the series constitutes several hundred hours of entertainment!)

I liked the second episode much better than the first and am hopeful for the series being much more loyal to the source material...though there are already some changes.

What have you thought of it?

You can watch the first episode of Outlander on the Starz site.

It would be so good if they did the delayed release that hulu does...or made a deal with netflix!
