Outlander...


May 12, 2021, 6:39 AM

Mumbette and I are now watching “Outlander,” which is on Netflix. It’s set in Scotland, a pretty gritty tale of 5 seasons in the can so far. It’s also a fairly raunchy depiction of sexuality for modern eyes, with lots o' ghey rapey.

But I continue to be amazed at the Scot’s language and witticisms. A scene tonight made me laugh out loud:

Our heroine, Claire, is painfully extracting a woman’s tooth, as a small boy watches on, horrified. A rough Scot Highlander sees the boy’s reaction, and tries to comfort him:

“Aye, laddie, my friend Angus lost both o’ his front teeth when he was even younger than yerself. A cow kicked him in his mouth, and he swallowed them straightaway. He didna sh1te for a week for fear o’ bein’ bitten!”

You’ll love Scotts word of the day then

Easy there, tiger. Posting a video like this, while not

completely pixelated, might still give BigDaddy® a Big A heart attack.

Also, why leave out all the rapey bits?

Well


May 12, 2021, 7:50 AM

there's another scene where Claire and Jamie are in Paris on the lam from Scotland, where Jamie has a bounty on his head.

Claire is in the parlor of a French noblewoman, who is getting her legs waxed, and the scene progresses to where her waxing procedure will indeed include her honeypot, as well. Claire is intrigued, and we move to a subsequent scene where Claire is in bed with Jamie.

Things move along, and Jamie discovers Claire is bare down there, so to speak. He is shocked, and Claire tells him, "Why don't you take a look for yourself?"

Jamie goes under the covers, and says, "It's more complicated looking when its not all thatched over."

I completely forgot Letterman had a running Wade Boggs joke

I was a kid, so I don't remember why

Great show!


May 12, 2021, 7:40 AM

There's a few on here who watch/watched it. Tigermanac is one, IIRC.

I'm all the way caught up (waiting on season 6). It's a top 5 show for me, I believe.

Apparently


May 12, 2021, 9:17 AM

the meaty swords are steely, too.

Waiting on the new season. Claire gets me randy sometimes


May 12, 2021, 7:44 AM

and Jamie gets the wife going, I think, so we often watch it then go out in the woods and fuck on a log or something to make it authentic.

Nah, it is an awesome show. Really really graphic at times, so beware of that. It can catch some people off guard.

2024 purple level memberringofhonor-greenr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

After a while you start seeing more of the daughter


May 12, 2021, 9:00 AM

getting nekkid and less of Claire when she gets old.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah, the nudity slowed down some, but I love that show


May 12, 2021, 9:04 AM

Hopefully the new season doesn't disappoint.

2024 purple level memberringofhonor-greenr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Slipped one by the goalie there.

How is sh1te not allowed, yet 4uck is OK?

We enjoyed it, the only issue was


May 12, 2021, 9:03 AM

that it will devote lots of screen time to romantic scenes and then skip over major plot points.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I FF through a lot of that***

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Watched it. Wife sez it’s for the gheys


May 12, 2021, 9:47 AM

I liked (not loved) it

For me...
Ozarks
Peaky Blinders
Succession
The Americans
The Last Kingdom
Breaking Bad
Animal Kingdom

are all a level or two up

Like Game of Thrones I'd read the books first


May 12, 2021, 9:48 AM

and it kind of ruined it for me - the books are much better

I wouldn't put it in the upper-tier, either.


May 12, 2021, 10:45 AM [ in reply to Watched it. Wife sez it’s for the gheys ]

But the dialog and history are pretty good, with the time-travel thing not being a crutch, so far.
