Season 6 is in the can. Droughtlander begins anew. Despite some flaws in the logic of this week’s story, I was very happy that we were given a generally excellent episode to cap off a generally excellent season! One of the best things in this episode was the renewed intimacy, in emotional terms, between Jamie […]
Writing these reviews is not always easy. I generally have to watch the episode three times, which can sometimes be painful (I’ve reviewed other shows besides Outlander, and believe me, some of them have been WAY more difficult to get through). Frequently, though, my opinion changes as I rewatch – usually for the better. A […]
I often look for a theme in Outlander episodes. In this one, a theme jumped out at me immediately – sin and redemption. But not in the way you might think of – those redeemed have not sinned, and the sinners are not redeemed. This episode was terrific! Ian’s story was strong and important. Jamie’s […]
Last December, I was asked to help out with the Thru the Stones convention in Iowa by leading the on-stage chat with Outlander’s stunt coordinator and horsemaster Dom Preece. He was funny and knowledgeable, happy to dish about actors’ abilities (or not), and we had fun with the audience throughout our hour and a half […]
Before the season started, we heard from Diana and from a few of the cast members that this would be an excellent, powerful season. Three episodes in – and while I had my quibbles with the first one, the only thing I really wanted to say about this one, episode 603, was that I loved […]
Funny, I heard an odd sound coming from the Outlander fandom today – a sigh of relief. And contentment. This week’s episode, “Allegiance,” had no huge high or low points, no fights, no violence – but it wasn’t in any way dull or unexciting. What it did have was what we’ve been looking for – […]
We have successfully survived Droughtlander! While our reprieve may be short, a brief 8-episode season, we have high expectations based on the word from Diana Gabaldon and the cast (although, what are they going to say? “No, it’s really awful, don’t bother”?). The first episode of the season wasn’t the brilliant, genius outing many of […]
Outlander had its exciting Season 6 premiere in London this past week! TiBS sent two correspondents, Koko Pipkin and Samantha Kraupner, to represent us on the star-studded red carpet and ask lots of questions (pointed and insightful, lol). While Caitriona was unable to appear in person, she graciously met with reporters from various outlets for […]
I love waking up to good news! This morning, Starz announced that Men In Kilts will return – but this time they’ll explore the Scottish heritage all over New Zealand! This is Graham McTavish’s home, and he has so much to show Sam – let’s hope they both survive the high-octane activities and the country’s […]
Today, Outlander took over New York City ComicCon! The show hosted a panel with Diana Gabaldon, Maril Davis, and Sam Heughan appearing in person, and John Bell, Lauren Lyle, Cesar Domboy, and Caitriona Balfe appearing remotely. They offered some insight into the upcoming Season 6 (still with no definite air date). This is a summary […]
