Outlander Poetry Contest Winners: Short and Sweet
My recent Outlander poetry contest turned up some really fantastic entries! Whether they were romantic, serious, or fun, lots of poets among us sent in some wonderful verse. Congratulations to the two winners, Catherine Curtis and Diana Rotelli! I also received a couple of entries that didn’t quite fit the parameters (Outlander-related and 10 lines […]

Outlander: Ep. 213 Review, Saying Goodbye to Dragonfly
Season 2 is over, and like Claire, we reluctantly say goodbye. There has been so much packed into these short episodes that it’s really felt like more than 13 hours; but they flew by so quickly that I can’t believe I saw the first one three months ago in New York! And now we’re adrift […]
Outlander: Ep. 212 Review, The Hail Mary – A Prayer for Help
Last-ditch efforts, final words, dying declarations. While Jamie is trying desperately to avoid the disaster at Culloden Moor that Claire has predicted, smaller dramas are happening, apart from the war. And there are more than one Hail Mary efforts, more than one prayer for safety or change, being raised. In football, a Hail Mary is […]
Outlander: Ep. 210 Review, Prestonpans, One Among Many
