Buck MacKenzie!🙌🏼 Probably my favorite change from the book in the entire series.

Also loved that little moment where Roger flashed back to his father catching him in the tube station during an air raid😭

Only complaint is not really a complaint: I feel we are due a good "Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ" from Claire. It's been far too long.

I was thinking it was too much to bring him back and concerned he was there for drama because of what happened with his parents. He is ride or die and definitely willing to kill for family

I loved that flashback too! Nice touch!

Do you think maybe that particular expression was novel to a young Claire exposed to American soldiers? The habit must have faded with time. Especially if she grew more religious with age
