I am keen on Diana pulling a Snape too...it would be gut-wrenchingly beautiful, but one of the reasons I enjoy her writing so much is that one never really knows where she will go. Time will tell and my poor fingernails will suffer being bitten to a quick until then...

While I don't think he and Jamie are as alike as you do, there are similarities as you pointed out. And one thing you noted hit my is a singular truth. He is a tragic figure and very well may be this story's Snape. I agree he is the key to a lot of information. I think he tracked the historical record and knows (or knew) way more about Jamie and Claire than Claire realizes. Can't wait to see what Diana does with his character going forward.

Great reply (you had me at 'noone...Hello Nancy! Great reply (you had me at 'nooner with Frank'LOL!)! I don't agree with it all, of course, but see your point of view clearly. Jamie is a darling man, no doubt, I just see him as another version of Frank...in a younger and more buff package and feel Claire admired in him what she admired in Frank. That was my purpose of the piece...to give Frank some of the respect and consideration he is sorely lacking in the Fandom. Many thanks for an intelligent and thoughtful comment. *and yes, parts of Canada are pretty freakin' cold and a lack of undies can be the difference between life and death...or at least a warmer bum. ;) Cheers!DeniseSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493792372940243204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3396056115459934841.post-85058305652656665682016-02-24T15:49:54.196-07:002016-02-24T15:49:54.196-07:00Well, hello, Denise! My compliments to you for an...Well, hello, Denise! My compliments to you for another wonderfully clever and funny post. You have way too many points for me to address as I admit I have not delved nearly as deeply as you have on this subject. There are, however, a few points which speak to me. Therefore..................... I don't hate Frank, not at all. Probably many Sassenachs don't, either, especially those of us who love the books even more than the show. I think part of the negativity comes from the fact that Frank and Black Jack are played by the same actor and many just find it difficult to completely separate the two. (This would be for only the TV Sassenachs.) I do believe Claire loved Frank very much. This is shown by her always wearing his ring even after she went back to Jamie. She says more than once in the books that he was a man she once loved. BUT....I think that once she found Jamie and circumstances brought them together and they were married, she soon realized that Jamie was THE ONE.<br />For me, personally, there is no comparison between the characters, TV or book. It's JAMMF all the way. OMG, I could never call them equally manly! I guess I'll say it's all a matter of taste. Maybe if I'd never seen Jamie I could do a nooner with Frank, but then, I have seen Jamie. (swoon!) And you don't KNOW that Frank was GIB(or in ancient castle ruins) since we only saw the start of it either time. Claire might have been sprawled on that old table for eons, telling Frank to stop, already, because she had cramps in her legs! Just sayin'... (BTY, Denise, going commando is kinky? Geez, it is THAT cold up in Canada?)<br />And on the subject of infidelity, I think Frank draws the losing straw, for sure. He cheated on Claire while he was married to her, but she was alive and living with him. When Jamie did it, he was sure he'd never see her again. And neither time was initiated by him, while the same cannot be said of Frank. I don't think an unresponsive wife should be a green light for screwing around. And maybe once Claire realized that he was dippin' his wick in some strange wax, she didn't want to take chances with him. She was a medical professional, after all. <br />All of this, of course, is just my personal opinion. As I said earlier, I don't hate either book or TV Frank. He was an okay guy. He just wasn't JAMIE. Not his fault, but there you go. Frank deserves some fan lust, too. You can have my share, Denise.<br /> Nancy Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09937535542787903529noreply@blogger.com
