Finally, we have the winners of the Outlander Poetry Contest! Winners in each category – general Outlander poems, Droughtlander poetry, and Murtagh’s Eyebrows verse – were selected by a panel of esteemed (well, friendly) judges: two in the General category, and one in each of the other two categories. So congratulations to Jackie Merrell, Tamara […]
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 […]
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 […]
When I write these reviews, I watch the episode at least twice, if not more. Some episodes have been a joy to rewatch; some have been, well, not so much. This episode was beautifully written, filmed and acted, but it was so much harder the second – and third – time. One line really struck […]
I’m feeling so much better this week. Aren’t you? Dougal’s back and causing trouble, Angus is still a git, and our strong, commanding Jamie is showing himself! So for now, while we’re stuck on the field at Crieff, let’s talk about this episode. (This week’s review may be shorter than usual… there’s a band rehearsing […]
Farewell, France! An adieu to beautiful clothes, stunning rooms, new friends, and at least a few excellent episodes. Jamie and Claire’s time in France, was, in large part, sad and unsuccessful – loss of their child, imprisonment, failure to change the future – but Jamie is well on his way to his recovery, and it […]
The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men, Gang aft agley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, For promis’d joy! (The best laid schemes of Mice and Men oft go awry, And leave us nothing but grief and pain, For promised joy! Robert Burns, To A Mouse, 1785 And that they did, leaving […]
Now that our hearts – and Jamie’s – have been ripped out by Claire’s demand that he not kill that horrible Black Jack RIGHT AWAY, will our loving couple ever get back to happy togetherness? What do you think – was she justified in asking him to wait a year so Frank won’t just poof […]
I don’t know about you, but when I make plans, I get all irritated when something comes up to change them (unless it’s something better!). And this episode, by the team’s newest member, Richard Kahan, is all full of irritating plan changes and foils. If you’ve accepted the many changes in tone and character that […]
Phew. Ok, y’all feel better now? I know I do. There’s hope in my heart that we’re on a path to the characters we love. Yes, this is an adaptation – I really do know, understand and appreciate that – but there has to be some fidelity to the original material, or else it’s not […]
