Yeah -- and leave your paramour behind by 200 years lol, must be a tough call.

Actually Claire and Jaime were married within 6 weeks of her arriving in 1743....her decision to stay with Jaime rather than return to Frank was about 6 months after the point of her arrival. In the books she arrived in 1743 having left the 20th century Beltane (May 1/2, 1946) in the series during Sanhaim (Oct31/Nov 1, 1945). She is connected to Frank, feels responsible for ensuring he is born and she loves Frank HOWEVER Jaime is her soul mate.

Yes it seems like they are talking it up on twitter quite a bit.

She's so gorgeous! I have 'Cait Envy' everytime I see her pics!
And I'm so glad they chose her for Claire too!

Wanted to make sure after the Starz series I was ready for Voyager.




ESPECIALLY given the length of the books -- they seem to average 900-1000 pages, and more detailed as we go along. But its good that you will be finished Voyager and taken a good bite out of Drums. Voyager was alot of fun and slam bang constant action . It was almost good to get into Drums where the pace slowed and Diana concentrated more on how the characters integrated more into 18 cent colonial life.


Finally read past this in Voyager, but now instead of taking a side...i think i feel sorry for both of them. Years spent with only the child to hold them together. I dont even hold his mistresses against him, i was pretty shocked that he felt he had a right to take Bree with him though. It still left me feeling sad to read it, amazing they were able to hold it together that long but that shows the ethical differences between then and now though.

Yeah when I hit that part in Voyager with frank thinking of taking Bree with him I sat up and thought "Huh? Where the hell do you get off justifying that?" I wonder how much of the conflict we will see in Voyager Starz?
As an aside, one interesting comment I read in these forums was the fan theory that Historian/Researcher Frank had come across evidence of Bree travelling to the past and that he had sort of prepared her for that (ie shooting instruction?wilderness hiking?)
Wonder if that had something to do with it.

As to Frank finding info about Bree being in the past, that seems plausible, and as much as he loved her he would have done everything in his power to insure her safety.
Bottom line, her marriage to Frank was good, but her marriage to Jamie was on a totally different level. If you have ever been married, you will probably understand that. To find that rare kind of love and then lose it? Well, there are hardly words.
