we always speak of JC being absent from this season due to the lack of screentime, time to breath, to love, to be them… but there is something else
Drums always was for me the last step in Jamie’s healing from this 20 years.. it’s the book where
- he lives with his love without any major separation/threat for the first time
- he manages to spent some time with his son and witness the deep relation between LJG and his son and it helps him I think to be truly at peace with his choice
- he become the laird he was always supposed to be
- he built a home for his love, a home where she feels safe like if his arms are always around her
- he is free to wear a kilt and lives in all the scottish customs that are now forbidden in Scotland
- he find a way to make peace with Wentworth by helping his baby girl to heal
- he creates a beautiful relation with his baby girl
- he is here to help her through a thing he would have died to do with Claire: letting her crushing his hand and then taking the baby in his arms
so yeah here is the other great miss of s4.. Jamie taking his baby in his arms is his last step in healing… but they neglected this beautiful relation.. I can’t see why Jamie taking here on his knee and taking her in his arms to console her was unrealistic? I can’t see why Brianna’s constant need to bring “MY FATHER” in the conversation was being realistic? I can’t see why her not having Gaelic lessons with him and by that carrying her inherance was unrealistic?.. I can’t see why her being still angry and refusing to hear LJG speaking of her da’s honor was being realistic?..
in the book Jamie and Brianna had a kind of love at first sight relation.. A recognition that they were always part of each other.. She feels safe with him right away.. I don’t understand why her being tense with him since their meeting is being realistic..
Their relation had no time to breath, to be fully construct and this is the biggest miss in s4 with JC lack of presence… A relation that is the heart of drums and one of his biggest theme with finding your home, finding your identity but never forget your roots… Like Ian feels that he has this Indian calling but never forget that he is a Scott, Brianna accept that she is a Fraser and that she can love Jamie and still being a Randall too and loving Frank.. this is Drums…
but they missed the point and it sadden me because Show!Jamie deserves this relation and these beautiful scene so much.. Now I hope that we will have at least the birth scene and the most beautiful “if you stay I will live” from Brianna to her Da but I doubt it…
THESE FEELINGS EXACTLY 😶

We get a lot of comparisons with Jamie and Claire’s relationship, but what I like is the contrast. Jamie and Claire’s is a very ideal, simple, romantic, love story. Ours is entirely different. I like the fact that we have these two very different relationships. There is a very different spirit to each of them. What I like about Roger and Brianna as a relationship, as a couple, is how relatable they can be as a couple and individually in terms of how they conduct themselves within a relationship.

It’s something Rik has said in an interview.
I wouldn’t call JC love simple at all lol But yes for sure the two relationships are very different. One is believable, not the other. One is relationship goal, not the other. One is based on respect and trust, not the other. One is(was?) passionate, not the other. I could go on and on like that lol

“It’s just an oasis. A beautiful,… exciting,… romantic,…. oasis.”
#2 things are excellent about this scene: #1. Evie’s amazing long coat of light cotton in that coppery check (adventuress chic) #and 2. the way rick is transparently and devotedly in love with his wife #he’s trying to be chill about it to avoid agreeing to immediately going travelling again #but he’s LOST #FATHOMS DEEP #that third gif when she comes back around and he’s just PINING for his OWN WIFE #oh children
#3. The fact that despite being HOPELESSLY in love with his wife, immediately after this moment he demands to know what the catch is, because unlike so many other dads/husbands in humorous movies, he’s No Fool.
He knows he’ll be walking into crap, he just wants to know what kind
Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance4. The doomed attempt at a stern face in the third gif, when he turns to look at her and instantly loses it anyway 😂
