- Best episode ever! So glad that it was written and directed by women who gave it the sensitivity that it deserved. Wonderful job everyone!
- It hit ALL of the necessary points, very close to the original story, lots of dialogue from the book, very sexy, but with cute flashbacks to explain things.
- I usually like stories to play out chronologically, not jumping back and forth, but even though they did that with this episode, often, it WORKED for me.
- And even though they did an entirely different first wedding for Claire with Frank (in the story, they get married in Scotland in the same church that she and Jamie are married in), that also worked well.
- The only part I thought was missing was the honesty pledge, when Jamie asked her to always tell him the truth when she did tell him something, and he would do the same (recognizing that they both have secrets). They did bring that into a later episode, S01-E11, when Jamie asked her if she was a witch. It worked there, but I think it worked better on their wedding night.
- And the COSTUMING!!!! OMG, Jamie and Claire's wedding outfits are WONERFUL! I am VERY interested in period costumes, and Terry Dresback and her team do a phenominal job! I have made Claire's shift from this episode in a very lightweight linen, and it is my most favorite sleeping garment. Can't wait to make the slight variation on the design like Claire wears at Lallybroch at the end of S01-E12 (with the ruffled neck edge and the white lace shawl).
