It’s hard to believe it’s over. After four seasons and 49 episodes of homemade fantasy-adventure goodness, The Outpost has aired its final episode. Oh, the cast and crew have long gone on to other things, having wrapped filming many months ago and most assuredly gotten advance notice that this season was the final one, but […]
This is going to be somewhat brief compared to my other looks at single episodes of The Outpost. The series’ penultimate episode, “The Betrayer,” did a lot of setting the table for the season finale next week, but along the way also provided some interesting perspective on these wonderful characters we’ve been following for 49 […]
There’s always a little trepidation when you hear that a TV network or movie studio is going to dip into your personal pantheon of entertainment favorites for a reboot. It’s the kid of news, when it concerns a beloved classic of some kind, that makes you sit up a little straighter and start to look […]
It’s hard to believe as I write these words that there are only two more episodes to go in the lifetime of The Outpost on The CW. The recent announcement that this will be the show’s final season landed with a thud on the fan base, though I suspect many of us knew it was […]
Man, you can’t say the creators of The Outpost aren’t keeping us on our toes in season four. The plot turns are coming thick and fast and it is clear that no one is safe from the writer’s red editing pencil. And so it was in episode 408, “The Pleasing Voice of the Masters,” that […]
One of the things that I’ve grown to really like about all those involved in the making of The Outpost is that they aren’t concerned with sparing our feelings or punching us in the gut. It’s often surprising and unpleasant, but that air of uncertainty — that anything can happen to any one of the […]
Some mighty strange goings-on for our heroes in an episode titled, “All We Do Is Say Goodbye,” which it should be noted was directed by our former queen, Immy Waterhouse. And what Immy crafted for us in the sixth episode of season 4 is one with plenty of drama, yet more unanswered questions, and a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that this season of The Outpost has dialed up the intensity and darkness a bit from previous seasons. There’s a vibe to this season that feels more serious, more threatening, more malicious than in other seasons. There’s also been a healthy amount of guilt added to the pie. […]
Is there any greater tribute to The Mistress than her boy Janzo opening a speakeasy in the Outpost? I mean talk about the apple not falling far from the tree. When The Outpost went “dry,” the opening of an underground establishment is exactly the thing The Mistress would have done to keep the coin flowing. […]
It’s interesting to me that with so many salty operators within its walls, that the latest episode of The Outpost would have so many naive, reactionary moments within it. But that’s what struck me about episode 3B02, “A Throne of Your Own.” And in the end, a small tide was turned by a man who, […]
