I've actually kind of been wondering if the books are better then the show, because I'm not seeing what the fandom seems to be seeing.

Maybe it's that I can't get into ships where one party is technically cheating but I have no interest in Jaime/Claire and I can only see myself continuing with the series if things pick up and other characters begin to get expanded on.

And Dougal is kind of a weird character for me right now, there are times when I want to like him but all the attempted rape isn't my thing. I think I just like his actor.

But is it even "technically" cheating? I mean, her husband is not even alive - he's not even a sperm travelling toward an egg at that point. He's non-existent. It's not like she can get a divorce or an annulment for a marriage that might take place some 200 years in the future.

Also, I really do enjoy all of the ethical arguments that crop up with scifi/fantasy's mostly impossible happenings (time travel, body swaps, etc).

AYRT. True that the morality of it isn't clear cut when it's a very fantasy plot line. But this is just a personal thing for me where I can't get into a couple so quickly when you spend your introduction to a series concentrating on someone's marriage.

It's really, really just my own feelings and obviously I don't blame Claire for going into the marriage with Jaime under the circumstances but we are supposed to know she's also conflicted about it. So it's just not a ship I'm into at this point.

Yeah, I get that. I really do understand that (presuming this kind of situation could happen), Claire would still *feel* very married, since she just got instantaneously zapped through time. And if it were me, it would feel very much like cheating. It's just the word "technically" that caught my attention. Maybe it's like virtual cheating. Emotional cheating? Of course there's a physical component, but I'm thinking of time/space logistics. LOL! Like I said, I really enjoy the twisted ethical conundrums for all these situations that don't exist.

I don't mind Claire with Jamie right now, because who knows when she'll get back to the 1940s. However? Jamie does NOTHING for me.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT I said above but I don't necessarily judge Claire being with Jaime under the circumstances, it's just my own thing that makes me not really into the ship.

I think I'm also just not that interested in Jaime so far either, Claire I'm sort of into? I don't know. I feel conflicted about these series because it feels both interesting but also kind of slow and there's no character I fully love yet.

He *is* rather odd-looking. He just keeps making me do double-takes, i dunno. She's got less curves than I usually like, but there's something very...i dunno. Ethereal about her nude scenes, so i'm definitely liking her. Plus - she's so tough! I love her nurse side.

[(Anonymous)]

Unpopular opinion, but I agree with you re: the technical cheating. I find it uncomfortable and it interferes with my enjoyment of Jamie/Claire

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT. Yeah I know it's a fantasy setting where the morality is more then unclear (her husband not being alive yet, not knowing if she'll get back and then the added pressure of needing to get married to be under Scottish protection) but it's still JUST ENOUGH to make it hard for me to like the ship.

I don't judge Claire at all but she is conflicted about it herself so I don't see why the audience needs to be completely into the idea of Claire/Jaime.

Any sort of hint of cheating plot lines are just not my thing. I just can't get into a ship that way. I don't hate the characters because of it but the ship itself is my problem.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I agree. I know she had her reasons and all (I gave up on the book midway through, though, and it's been a while since I attempted to read it) but were I in her shoes, I wouldn't consummate the marriage and would hope anybody offering to marry me for my protection would understand that. Like, we could lie and say we did, who'd really know the difference? And if they need blood on the sheets (because, you know how awful knowledge of how the vagina and hymen actually work was back then and even now) it would be really, really easy to fake that. Take a needle and poke yourself, then bleed on the sheets. Tada!
