I’ve been here a long time, happy to be Senior Editor. My kids are ok with me being a nerd (at least I think so, but they’ve left home, so, like, who knows). Hubby rolls his eyes. Covering Outlander and a variety of other current shows, movies and books.
This will probably be the shortest review I’ve written – because of my weekend jaunt to Thru the Stones, I’m very late getting this done, and the next episode is sitting in my screener account hollering at me to watch it. So let’s talk highlights of Savages! I loved the little home-building touches in this […]
One of the problems of having read the Outlander books, and loving them, and coming to watch and review the TV series, is that you feel like a low-rent psychic. You have an idea of what’s coming next – although one can never really know, right? – and you can see the paths and patterns […]
Hi #Outlander fans!! I’m here and ready for #AskSophieSkelton . Fire away! Will try and be as detailed as poss but forgive the limited characters on Twitter Q Hi sophie , was it difficult for you to play the scene where you break Roger’s heart ? A The whole scene was beautifully emotional to play.B’s heart is […]
One of the most attractive parts of Outlander, I’ve always found, is the strength of character of its men. Jamie, Roger, Lord John, Colum, Ian Sr and Jr, even Dougal, are men with failings, to be sure, but they know where they need to go, they have faith in who they are, and they develop, […]
Due to some technical issues prior to our broadcast tonight, I wasn’t able to put up a slideshow featuring the fan fundraising campaigns we discussed. I truly appreciate my guests coming to discuss their fundraising efforts with us – Melissa Pflueger of the Southern Sassenachs; Christine Gordon from Sassenach Society of South Jersey; and Koko […]
Jamie’s Aunt Jocasta, Irish actress/singer Maria Doyle Kennedy, answered fan questions on Twitter this afternoon. Okay Beauts , I’m here for 30-40 mins for as many questions as we can get in ( Im supposed to be in a recording studio so if I suddenly blank for a minute it’s because I’ve ducked under the […]
Outlander doesn’t shy away from tackling the hard subjects. And that’s definitely a good thing, because the books are full of difficult moments, contradictions between what was done “then” and what is done “now.” That juxtaposition, with Claire in the middle, frequently creates tension and trouble, and we know we wouldn’t have it any other […]
The last 11 months haven’t been so bad, have they? A thing worth having is a thing worth waiting for, right? But finally, Jamie and Claire have embarked on their new adventure, attempting to settle down in America. This production has had changes from the start – large and small, important, delightful, baffling. I’m sure […]
This Sunday night, or Saturday night if you can get it on demand, the first episode of the fourth season of the juggernaut that is Outlander airs. Church bells will toll, small children will happily dream (don’t let your small children watch Outlander), food will taste better, men will be sexier….and Jamie and Claire will […]
