TiggyB That's when!

*Imagining* Sam Heughan as a modern Macbeth We don't know what direction the production will take Macbeth is described in historical accounts as tall, fair-haired, and handsome, with a ruddy complexion. While Shakespeare's play portrays Macbeth with a different, more sinister

Sam had playing Macbeth at the back of his mind even in 2015 Of course he thought Cait would make a fantastic Lady Macbeth And Tobias, a witch or Lady Macduff? 😁 Outlander Paley2015 youtube.com/clip/Ugkx-HN-K… via YouTube

It's so cute the way he naturally leads her over for the picture She instantly responds Leans in They smile Then release It's like the steps of a dance they've done a thousand times before They're so good to their fans! ☺️🙌

The way that #SamHeughan is dressed - Is giving me a Macbeth vibe He looks like a king

Are you missing Jamie and Claire? This video will feed your hungry heart youtube.com/watch?v=VwLGJs…

Missing them... And simultaneously grateful 🥹❤️

Dougal made a pass at Claire  Fresh from her marriage bed Devious machinations were afoot He'd devised her marriage to Jamie with ulterior motives  Dougal had long lusted after Claire But couldn't bed her while she was single He dared not dishonor her while she was a favored

I find this very moving She was under horrific assault But in her mind she was pressed against him Safely hiding in his arms Comforted Jamie is Claire's safe place 😔

Dougal now realizes Colum's scheme Jamie is his preferred successor Having just proven what Colum suspected - Jamie would be a masterful Laird He has Leadership Courage Mental acuity Aplomb Showmanship The love and respect of the people Dougal is seething pix credit:

When Colum allowed Jamie to take the beating for Laoghaire And Dougal to control it Their opposing characters were revealed Gallant Jamie displayed selfless compassion for the lass Dougal displayed malicious self-interest towards Jamie Resolved, though already wounded Jamie

I've been looking into the early signs of Jamie Fraser King of Men Colum was the first to recognize that Jamie is special Dougal also saw it - and hated him for it The contrast between Jamie and Dougal Puts me in the mind of the biblical Cain and Abel More to come...

In the past 3 posts I've explored early manifestations of Jamie's innate ability to lead well It was Colum's determined will that Jamie succeed him Obstructing Dougal's claim But Jamie married the English woman The clan would no longer follow him Wily, ruthless Colum quickly
