A risky yet satisfying episode rounds out Season 5, which I truly feel has been the best of the series. It was difficult, traumatic, horrifying… and so well put together that I have very little question about it. (Please look to the bottom of this post for information about a survey for the Outlander Gab.) […]
Fans were very excited for this episode – it was written by Diana herself, which automatically elevates it into another category. As one friend said recently, “at least we know the characters will get to speak in their authentic voices for an hour.” But just having Diana as the named writer for this episode didn’t […]
Are you tired of crying during Outlander episodes? Tired of emotional, tear-inducing stories? Tired of holding your breath, hoping your loves survive, greeting them when they return? No? Me either. And to my friends who say they don’t tear up (yes, I’m pointing at you, and you know who you are), you lie to save […]
Often, when I rewatch an episode to write my review, I like it more than I did on the first watch. The nuances and performances are more interesting, the writing makes more sense. But with this one – my first watch, I thought it was excellent, one of my favorites. And on second watch, while […]
I feel like I repeat myself most weeks in season 5 – more than halfway through at this point, and the majority of the episodes have been terrific! This one, The Ballad of Roger Mac, is probably the best in what has been a great season – and one of the best of the entire […]
Outlander is, more than usual, the show I’m most excited about. Halfway through, this has been a generally excellent season. This episode is, with a few exceptions, continuing along that line. But honestly, as I sit here in my social distancing state-mandated lockdown, away from my parents and my kids, the temptation to give in […]
Just what we needed right now – Sam Heughan chatted with fans on Twitter before tonight’s episode! (see a Monday morning addition at the end!) Here’s the entire Q&A: Q where are you spending the confinement? And where would you like to spend it? A Thanks for asking, I’m in Hawaii. Came here before travel […]
Today would have been Outlander’s presentation and panel at PaleyFest, but like so many other events right now, it was cancelled. So Caitriona helped to satisfy our craving for our favorite cast members, and did a second Twitter Q&A this afternoon, taking fan questions for nearly an hour. Q What would be Claire’s go to […]
We’re now a third of the way through season 5 – with a book as big as The Fiery Cross, do you think we’ve gotten far enough into the story at this point? (For the record, if you go by book pages, we’ve gone just about a third of the way through it as well. […]
So this was fun – Outlander star Sam Heughan has a new film coming out next week, a big-budget Vin Diesel feature called Bloodshot. Sam plays one of the “villain” roles, which looks to be heavily CGI-reliant. He did a fan Q&A today, and responded all in video! So this report is a little different […]
