SPOILER ALERT - do not read unless you have finished chapter 38 in Dragonfly in Amber.
Holy CRAP - I canna believe everything that just went down. I mean - you KNEW Jack Randall would rear his fugly head again at some point - broken johnson or not. But did I think he'd do it in Jamie's SITTING ROOM?!? Um, NOOOO. I canna believe the BALLS on this guy! What if Jamie weren't sick?! I'm thinking he would have torn Randall's butt limb from limb (as my former classmate Will Smith once sang. Snicker.) He must really care for his brother. Which kindof surprises me as he referred to Jamie as "Alex" while he was raping him. I still don't know if he was referring to his brother, Alex.. or that poor soul named Alex who he also raped some time ago. Blech. The guy is disgusting... and frankly, I'm surprised Jamie let him live; Frank or no Frank. I mean - the guy is just going to do it to someone else. Look at Fergus!!! Letting him live is like taking a dirty priest and sticking him in yet another parish to molest again. DISGUSTING, Sassenach!!!
Why do I feel the need to type like Jamie? I canna figure it out for the life of me.
You know what this blog needs? Some Scottish commentary in the comments section. Let's work on that, y'all.... mmmmkayyy??
PS - My Jack Randall - hands down - Jason Isaacs. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!
I'm tellin ye Sassenach--google "Jack Randall" and "casting," and up pops the Patriot guy. Every. Single. Time.
ReplyDeleteBut wait--I thought they had this big discussion in a church, not the sitting room...???
They did - but he knocked on the door of their sitting room while she was having tea alone because Jamie was in bed with Fergus. AND it bummed me out that she kicked Fergus out of bed and made him go back to his little pallet on the floor. There was no mention of putting more blankets on him - and he had gotten in bed with Jamie because he was cold!
ReplyDeleteJason Isaacs is TOTALLY my Jack Randall as well, there can be no other.
ReplyDeleteI apologize if it seems like I'm spamming you--just found your blog and am going through the posts instead of going to bed. ;)
Oh my god you are so not spamming! Comment comment comment!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect choice for Black Jack!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure why but I felt a bit (just a bit) of pity for him when he showed up on Claire
's doorstep...
Oh no - I hear ya, Four. Even Jamie felt some pity for him when his brother died. Remember how he took him by the arm and led him to his room?
ReplyDeleteI must agree Jason Isaac's has always been my Black Jack! I'm so glad I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm so behind, I just found your blog.
I know. I'm so sad...I guess he's just a little older now (and/or too famous?) I will always love Jason Isaacs. Tobias Menzies will be fantastic though, I know it. :)
DeleteJust finding your blog (after finding OBC forum) and LOVING it :D
ReplyDeleteSo the big question is, now that the Starz series is through season 3, what did you think of Tobias Menzies portrayal of BJR??
Welcome Shelly! :) Tobias was fantastic, as usual; he's amazing in everything he does...and that includes shows/films I'm not all that fond of. Right now he's in The Terror on AMC and I lose interest more and more every week...yet I feel he's carrying the show. I will always love Jason Isaacs, though...and long after the TV series is over, I'll probably still have him in my brain as BJR. ❤️
