Despite some concerns about where this episode left off, and where the next one will go, I thought this was another terrific outing. We’ve had a nice string of three now – dare I hope that the three left this season will continue the run? The Deep Heart’s Core, taken from a William Butler Yeats […]
There are times when I don’t really want to write a review, because the episode (and I’m not just talking about Outlander – I review other things) is just so bad, and I really don’t like saying bad things about shows I like. And there are episodes, like this one, that make me not want […]
Sophie Skelton took a few minutes to answer questions on Twitter yesterday! Q how did you like working with #TobiasMenzies ? Was he an inspiration ? A HE IS AMAZING. Q How did you feel about Bree’s decision not to use the name “Fraser” when she booked passage to America like she does in Drums of Autumn? A She […]
With tonight’s episode, I’m beginning to hope that season 4 has found its direction and tone. Two episodes in a row now that feel like one show! Another thoughtful, well-written, beautifully acted story that truly feels like it follows the ones before – and deserves our sincere admiration. Lord John shows up at Fraser’s Ridge! […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
