[Outlander Summary] S05E05: Perpetual Adoration.


Claire Fraser Monologue #1:

How many times have I put my hopes, my fears, my secret longings into the hands of a being I can't see, can't hear, can't even feel?.
And how many times have my prayers been answered?.

Part 2

Time is a lot of the things that people say God is.
There's the preexisting and having no end. There's the notion
of being all-powerful, because nothing can stand against time, not mountains, not armies.
Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Remember, Man, thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return. And if time is anything akin to God, I suppose that memory must be the devil.

The episode begin with a flashback of Claire and Bree in Boston after Frank died. Jamie and his militia arrive in Hillsborough to collect men and meet with Lieutenant Knox. Knox gave Jamie a letter from governor Tyron that say he intends to pardon the leaders of the Regulator movement.

Claire Fraser Monologue #2:

As a child, I used to stare at spiderwebs, watching and waiting
for an insect to become caught. While part of me was horrified
by watching the death throes, I was mesmerized by the way
the tiniest vibrations in the web would signal the spider
that her prey was near.
I wonder, is time God's eternal web, silk strands stretching through time, the mildest touch setting off vibrations that echo through the eons?.

With Marsali help and hard work, Claire finally found her penicillin. Claire also continue her treatment for the twins by using the penicillin.

Claire Fraser Monologue #3:

Is God the spider, embracing us through our death and resurrection, or is he simply the spinner of the web, watching as the silk shimmers and vibrates through the cosmos...
Awakening the real spiders, the ones lurking deep within the recesses of our own natures?.

When Roger try to calm Jemmy, he found the gemstone Bonnet gave to Bree. He and Bree later have another misunderstanding and argument on why she accepted the gemstone. To clear his mind, Roger go outside all night, hunting. The next morning he meet Claire and the mother in law give him some marriage advise.


Governor Tyron give newest order to Knox to continue the search of Murtagh only and order Jamie and his militia going back home. Before he left, Jamie was invited by Knox to play a chess. But then Knox received the transcript of the Ardsmuir prison roll after Culloden and Jamie is forced to reveal who he really is.

Claire Fraser Monologue #4:

God the infinite, God the merciful, God the eternal. Someday, I will stand before God, and I will receive answers to all my questions about everything in his universe, and I do have many questions.
But I won't ask about the nature of time. I've lived it.

[Outlander Summary] S02E07: Faith.

Claire was taken to charity hospital immediately. Tired emotionally and physically watching Jamie duel with Randall, Claire lost the baby.

Master Raymond sneak into the hospital at night to heal Claire from high fever. Claire Fraser Monologue #1: A white hotness burned deep in my bones. I knew what it was. Puerperal fever. The baby had come, but part of the placenta had not. It festered inside my womb... but as Raymond's hands moved over the meridians of my body, I could feel the tiny deaths of the bacteria that inhabited my blood. Small explosions as each scintilla of infection disappeared. The fever drained from my bones, and my tortured body relaxed gratefully into the frame of his hands, melting and reforming like moulded wax. I don't know what he did or how he did it... But he hea...

[Outlander Summary] S01E01: Sassenach.

For a tv show, the first episode is very important. Because it will determine whether the audience will continue watching or not. Well, I belong to this category. There is no chance for the second or third episode hehehe. Outlander S01E01 "Sassenach" managed to attract me to watch the next episodes because of the interesting and solid storyline, and strong characteristics. When in fact I am less interested with a story "traveling through time" background. Claire Randall Monologue # 1: People disappear all the time. Young girls run away from home. Children stray from their parents and are never seen again. Housewives take the grocery money, and a taxi to the train station. Most are found eventually. Disappearances, after all, have explanations. Usually. Strange, the things you remember. Single images and feelings that stay with you down through the years. Like the moment I realized I'd never owned a vase. That I'd never lived any place l...
