Outlander 4x1 Full REACTION

Ughh… this episode! First of all, I’m being totally superficial here, but can we talk about Sam/Jamie’s wig? When Sam got the part, he started growing his hair out which is why it’s still pretty short in the first episode and he would dye it red, which I actually prefer because of his “Bonny blue eyes” during Seasons 1-2 he didn’t wear a wig, but sometime during season 3 he cut his hair. They film the episodes out of order, so the first few episodes was his beautiful red curls, but when we would see him with his hair tied in back, that was a wig. We first see it in episode 4 Of Lost Things, when he’s forced to sleep with that daughter. But then in First Wife, he has his curls back again and that’s the last we see of his hair because he started getting other roles. They actually shut down production in Scotland and moved it to South Africa for all of the episodes in the second half of the season on the ship and what was supposed to be Jamaica. I wish it had been in his contract to keep his hair. Even when they were in France and he pulled his hair back it didn’t look like this… and bangs… come on!! Let’s just say that I love the picture of them at the start of this video with the two of them and Jamie’s hair. Okay, now that I got that out of my system lol. I love the scene of Jamie giving Claire the chest for her medical supplies. He is just so romantic and I forget they’ve been married for 24 years. I hope guys watching the show are taking notes. Stephen Bonnet was in the back of their wagon and heard them talking about getting money for the jewel before they caught him and that’s why he went back to rob them. He knew they’d have money. Caitriona has said that she really put everything emotionally into that last scene with Stephen Bonnet and their dialogue and then they cut the dialogue and just played America The Beautiful over the scene which was so beautifully done, but I can’t watch that scene. I always stop it there and go on to the next one. In the book, Bonnet actually gets the gold ring of Frank’s and there is a reason we find out later why they switched it from the book.

I love the intro Imon. The picture, the music, that was beautiful. Also I meant to say, I love the new thumbnails you have on YouTube. I loved the start to this episode, I thought it was the Native Americans too, we then find out that this ritual goes as far back as 2000 B.C Claire said "For centuries, humans have held an endless fascination with circles, attributing meaning where they are found. From the eternal rotation of the planets around the sun, to the movement of clock hands, to a simple wedding band." You said that you love spinning in circles too. I can picture that, how happy and beautiful you would look in that moment. That scene with Ian, when he starts having flashbacks to his time with Geillis, a lot happened to him that we didn't see. Jamie tells him that he too, had a festering pain inside until he shared it with Claire. He then tells Jamie what happened to him, the things he was forced to do. You said "It's almost like physical gaslighting. Like your body's saying something different and your mind is saying something else. Your body is betraying you in someway." Jamie then comforts him, he asks Jamie if he's ever lain with someone he didn't want too. He has, twice. Ian then says "Then ye understand how it can be? How you can do it without wishing to, detesting it. And all the while, it feels... Pleasing?" Jamie tells him "Well, lad... What it comes down to... What it comes down to is that your cock doesn't have a conscience, but you have. It's not your fault, lad. You did what ye must and survived. That's all that matters." Later when Jamie and Claire are alone together she tells him "I feel so lucky to be here with you." He said "It isn't wrong to be alive, sassenach." She says "You're right. We have to treasure these moments." She then tells him that's she's worried that all of this could be ripped away at any moment. Jamie says "It doesn't matter, sassenach. Don't you see how small a thing death is between us? After you left me, after culloden, I was dead. Yet all that time I loved you." She tells him that she loved him too, that she never stopped. He tells her "When my body dies, my soul will still be yours. Nothing is lost, sassenach. Only changed." She says "That's the first law of thermodynamics." He says "No. That's faith." You said "Imagine just having this much love and lust for someone." You then laughed and said "Some people have all the luck... And for like, years. It's awesome." I loved what you said next "I believe this is how things should be. Enjoy your person, make your person feel secure, make your person feel loved. Love them, enjoy them. Your eyes are on them and vice versa. And you're friends, you spend time together, you have fun together, you eat together, everything." You said it's just nice to see something like this. You then said "I really feel like if you invest your time and love into something it grows, and it can't fail. If you water something it continues to grow. Do you know what I mean? I really believe that. I believe it with all of my heart, that people get bored or lazy and they don't want to water anything anymore." I really love the way you talk Imon, the way you see things. There's a light to you that's just so beautiful. I like the part when Jamie and Claire are outside and she asks him does he know what lies beyond those trees. He says "Aye, more trees." She tells him that this is just the start of what America will become, that people from all over the world will come to live what will be called the American dream. He asks "Is that the same as our dream?" She says "I suppose it is. A chance to live in a place where the only limitations are a person's own abilities and the will to succeed. That's the dream." It sounds like something you would say. Later we see Claire in that dress, you said "God I would love to wear an outfit like this, take some photos." If you ever get the chance Imon, please share at least one of them on your Patreon. I would love to see that. I know you would look really beautiful, you always do. I loved that scene when they decide to stay in America, Jamie says "This becomes Brianna's country, does it not? I dinna wish to fight in wars again or have you in danger, sassenach, but if there's a bit I can do to make this a good land for Brianna. If my presence here now can be felt by her later, then... Then that would be something." That gift that Jamie got Claire was beautiful. He asks her if she likes it, she tells him it's wonderful. He loves her so much, you said "That should be a currency. Love. That type of love, that type of respect." The ending, you were right about that ruggedly, handsome prisoner as you called him in your description. You were right he was too charming. I loved what you said "This is the thing about life, we're supposed to trust each other because if we don't trust each other then we will not find the good people like Claire, like Fergus, like Jamie, like Rupert and Murtagh. The good ones in the series. You're gonna find several Douglas and some Geillis'. You're gonna run into some Randal's and all this stuff. It's not a perfect world, but if we don't trust, then we just don't know. We're never gonna find the good." As much as I love this series, I honestly couldn't imaging watching it without you. Listening to you talk, seeing you smile and hearing you laugh. It's beautiful. You're beautiful Imon, always. <3
