- I liked Claire and Jenny in the first part of the episode, working together to hunt for Jamie. I like that Jenny softened towards Claire, realizing that she really does love her brother.
- I'm glad that they kept the expressing milk part, and think they did an amazing job with the engorged breasts prosthetics complete with flowing milk! I was once separated from my nursing baby for a couple of days and remember being similarly engorged, to the point where I'd do just about anything to get back to my baby. Expressing milk manually helps a little, but a baby is much more effective.
- They changed the part with the gypsies some too, but it kept the story going and was a little clearer than in the book.
- I thought the search with Murtagh dragged out a bit in the book (but then, searches are like that). It kind of did in the TV version too, but I think they did a good job of it. They stayed pretty true to the story, and having Claire be the "singer" instead of Murtagh was fine. I liked her song (would like to see the words posted somewhere), and the way she finally kind of got into her act was cute. It's not one of my favorite episodes (no Jamie), but it was necessary to tell the story. The calm before the storm.
