4th viewing ? .. wow .. that’s the commitment!! ?

Good analysis though.. I do agree with you on this.

I was just thinking that if they would miscast either Jamie or Claire.. the show could be such a disaster. The leading actors have tremendous chemistry and ultra talented.

during
my first 2 viewings of 307, i found myself alternatively annoyed with
claire and with jamie. on my 4th viewing it hit me that this episode,
following the tenderness in the 306 reunion episode, was intended to
convey jamie and claire each trying to fit their basic selves – their
personalities after 20 years apart – into this new relationship of
theirs. imho, it succeeds, bringing to the fore the tensions that can
exist when any two individuals try to make a life together as a couple.
and that scary final comment by claire in the 308 promotional video, to
the effect that she doesn’t know whether they really belong together,
works for the same reason. many loving couples go through such doubts
as they work their way towards the commitment that marriage demands. so
– as far as i’m concerned ron and his crew have done a great job!
