My God I hate this episode. Brianna and Roger are such morons in this episode. I really dislike the actress they picked play Brianna as well she's not a very good actress and even though she gets slightly better as time goes on her character and the way she portrays her just don't go together. And in this episode she really shows what a spoiled upper middle class dummy she is. It always made me mad that Claire and Frank didn't teach her some resemblance of logic practicality and survival skills. Considering the way Claire is and what she cares about and Frank's job and his personality. Their daughter turns out to be a clueless spoiled dummy. I always liked marsley so much better and the actress plays her so much better. I thought that she fit the role of Claire's and Jamie's daughter so much better. Which is kind of an insult considering her mother and the background there.. And yes I understand that Jamie didn't raise Brianna but she has absolutely no characteristics from him genetically at all besides red hair which by the way is a mutation and only partly genetic, so it's more like a 90% chance that the children won't have the same color of hair. But in this episode with Roger, you'd think that if you went back in time to look for someone you would ask around where you thought they might have gone and spend weeks or months searching for them locally rather than immediately jumping to conclusions that she went across the sea to the US. Just imagine that that Roger would run into the worst scum of the Earth and board his ship to go to America. Just like how it almost Scotland Brianna is saved by Leary.. a script writers must think there's about six people who live in this area lmao. Youd think Brianna might dress appropriately for the weather and bring better supplies and tools to help her with her journey. But Brianna proves once again what an idiot she is and how her parents really didn't teach her life skills at all. Maybe it was different in the books and maybe it was the directors and script writers choice to make her like this..but whatever it was I honestly can't stand it! Claire and Frank are very intelligent capable down to earth people. Frank in the '60s is portrayed as such a snotty uppity jerk. Quite the vast contrast from the way he was showing to be in the first couple seasons. And of course in this season they have to do everything so it goes wrong. Unfortunate series of events rather than her coherent flowing excellent story. The only redeeming qualities are the flash backs which help fill in the story from the past a bit. Going to Harvard together, sharing an office.. What the crap? Cringe,is she 5 years old.
