- Although most people consider this one of the best episodes so far, when I watched it the first time I really didn't like it. But considering, it's about battle, and that's not something I typically watch or think about, I can appreciate it even though it's not my cup of tea.
- There was a lot going on. Many different stories woven together. Some I liked more than others.
- Loved Fergus, as always. Even though he ignored a direct order and went to battle without Jamie's permission. Thank goodness he survived, but he will always be affected by this.
- I thought the battle scenes were filmed really well. I liked that the sound was off. The savagery and brutality came through very well.
- I hated what Dougal did with Lt. Foster. His true character was revealed, and he got his due with the prince witnessing Dougal's true nature. Yet Jamie stood up for him and he really was cunning with his solution.
- It struck me as a bit odd that the prince wanted to fight. Yes, he's incredibly nieve, but if Jamie had let him fight and he'd been killed, wouldn't that have solved everything and avoided Culloden? And how COULD Jamie have ordered the prince to stay back with the General?
- Hated Angus' death. It was a surprise, but well played.
- The part of the story that I probably liked the least was Ross and Rupert singing at the end. Just didn't get it. They were both grieving for their friends, but why sing a song about it? It didn't seem in character.
- Wished we'd seen a bit more of Claire and Jamie's love for each other. But there hasn't been much at all this season. If my husband was going off to fight a dangerous battle where he might be killed, even if I believed our side would win, I'd say more than "Off you go soldier" as he left me.
