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.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
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!

It's been a long time since I read the books, so a lot of the little details are probably going to escape me, but I'm loving it so far. I think they're doing a fantastic job creating the world and the characters so far. The casting for Claire and Jamie is really great.

The "Guest" ep of The Leftovers was fabulous, I thought. Carrie Coon as Norah Durst was amazing. That ep brought to the table the ways things have changed in the world at large by setting it in a city at a convention. It was good to get out of town. Wayne seems to have a genuine gift, too, even if he is a scumbag in his personal life. It may just be empathy and/or intuition, but it's something. The sacrificial lamb aspect, dunno about that. Delusion probably.
"Cairo" whoa. I want to know how the shirts got there - I guess he did that? The guilty remnant thing is so weird, tho' I'm glad Masters of Sex can have an actor back now. The implication is that Laurie will make herself a sacrifice in the future. Jill, M Qualley, is Andie McDowell's daughter.
What on earth are the GM doing? Those are bodies, yeah? I think Im not going to like next week's ep.
