This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right, without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell for that heavenly cause
– From “The Impossible Dream” by Mitch LeighI yam what I yam & dats all what I yam. -Popeye
What an episode. Beards, Lord John, a multi-faceted Mohawk culture and the Fraser womenfolk kicking tail and taking…

And so today, my world it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
Thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the only one
Happiness, no more be sad

“Now it’s like… like my own fortress has been blown up with gunpowder – there’s nothing left of it but ashes and a smoking rooftree, and the little naked thing that lived there once is out in the open, squeaking and whimpering in fear, tryin’ to hide itself under a blade of grass or a bit o’ leaf but…but not …makin’ m-much of a job of it.”

I miss this adorable tartan goofball
I *love* how in Season 1 we saw Rupert and Angus really come to life - their bumbling cuteness remind me of Laurel and Hardy. Intelligent comic relief is verra hard to come by these days.

Claire: I believe your left hand gets jealous of your right. That’s about all I believe
**Jamie emerges from behind the horse, smirking, making heart eyes at Claire**
**Tense pause**
Rupert: *Laughs hysterically* I’ve never heard a woman make a joke!!
