I was able to watch episode 1 of Season 2 early. I was struck by the similarities between the episode and the first episode of season 1. They were almost mirror-images of each other.
Season 1:
1. The first half-an-hour, Claire is living a "normal" life. The last half, she is in a strange time and place.
2. She mistakes Black Jack for Frank.
3. Everyone around her speaks Gaelic, and she doesn't know what they are saying, and neither does the audience.
4. She and Frank are trying to have a baby.
5. The first sign that she is truly in the past that she accepts is that there are no electric lights on in Inverness.
Season 2:
1. She is in a "strange" world for the first half, and then we return to her new "normal".
2. Frank displays some very Black Jack-like behavior. Tobias Menzies, you so need an Emmy!
3. Claire seems to speak perfect French, while Jamie apparently struggles with it. I don't think Murtagh speaks French at all. Subtitles abound.
4. She's pregnant with Jamie's child.
5. Loud noises bother her in the future. She adapted to the past very well.
