Total and complete insult to the intelligence of women
In all the time since Outlander began, these fools in management and in control of things, be it Starz, or Sony or S/C PR or in later years LG have never got it.
They failed to understand the glue of what holds these massive set of books together. They certainly failed to understand the crux of what is Jamie and Claire either.
Through all the boring segments and meandering of Diana Gabaldon in those novels, what holds the reader is the love between Jamie and Claire. It binds it all together and makes it real. A love to end all loves in fiction for all time.
Yes, it is sexually explicit at times. It is violent because 18th century Scotland and the Colonies were violent and dirty, physically dirty and moreover degrading to women. But through all that, what makes it outstanding is the love between Jamie and Claire. Period.
It's not about a hot, naked chest, or body. Never was. Jamie is loyal to his family, to the men around him, and most of all Claire, his wife. He is everything but a sexual stud muffin, and to project that onto this character and the actor playing him, is sick, twisted and WRONG.
Claire is a woman from the 20th century suddenly stuck in the 18th century and as such will react differently. But at the same time, she puts Jamie and Bree above all else. Though she is guilty of getting into messes that Jamie and others have to get her out of at times, true. In the end she is used to roughing it and adapts to that world. But there is no question of doubt, she loves Jamie and stays in that world because of that.
At the same time, Claire and Jamie are fictional characters, and the love between them is real. But it is a story, they are not real.
And Sam and Cait however are real, but they are not their characters. Never were. Anyone who thinks so or gets them confused, thinking Sam is their Jamie etc, are the foolish and delusional ones.
And to think that most smart, intelligent women believe Outlander is all about eye candy in Sam/Jamie or wanting Cait/Claire all the time with her 18th century version of Dr Quinn medicine woman is a view that is warped, stupid and male chauvinist. It is an insult to the intelligence of women.
What is between the leads of this show is pure gold. And yet, these fools at Starz, Sony et al would bury that gold mine in favor of eye candy for women.
You can't buy what is between these two, or the intense love between their characters. If it happens, it happens. A God given gift.
Not getting into the reasons why, but to bury what they have in favor of pushing eye candy or pacifying the selfish book mommies is sick. It's insulting to my intelligence.
Period. I wouldn't give them a red dime for their merchandise. I haven't either. Except for a few Google play episodes. That's it.
These fools in management certainly don't know what intelligent people want, that's for sure.
Regardless, the end is coming. In my opinion. Take that to the bank.
I am adding another comment to this. You think for one minute that these fools would not set up and stage innuendo to purposely make you think a wedding happened that weekend? Oh, believe me, they are dirty enough and skanky enough to do just that. Absolutely would.
Hirsch and Parnell in my opinion would sell their own for a buck, they would.
But I go by instinct and gut feeling and my own sense of deductive reasoning. I am saying it now, I call bull shit to that so called wedding! One may have happened or another service, but it wasn't between C & T. BS to the Sam beards also.
I call it SOB. Standard Operational Bull.
There may be people on here willing to drop their beliefs, but not this cat. Nope.
But I also think that you can't out someone who doesn't want to be outed either. For various reasons and that's both sad and morally wrong.
Day is coming though, take that to the bank.
Drip. Drip. Drip. Have yourself some coffee all.
