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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 been a long minute since we saw the developments unfold in season 3A of the fantasy-adventure gem, The Outpost. The CW offering has taken many twists and turns since its humble beginnings, but perhaps more than anything else, it has grown and improved in the three full seasons it has aired. And now, with […]
It’s safe to say that the season 3A finale of The Outpost wasn’t one of the lightest and joy-filled finales I’ve ever seen. There was a darkness, a sadness that ran through this marvelous final episode that really pulled me in and fostered an even deeper appreciation for the guts this show likes to show. […]
Well, the gut punch of losing The Mistress in season 2 was replayed with heart-wrenching anguish in episode 312 of The Outpost. And I blame Executive Producer Dean Develin and the writers for it. Curse your creative, yet enjoyable, juices. Oh, I don’t wish to speak ill of Dean Devlin and his staff, but have […]
Ah, at last, the search for the Black Kinj has been fully entwined with the mystery of Talon’s father. Oh, how I have yearned for this very thing to happen and for the chance to clear up a boatload of mystery surrounding everyone’s connection to both – Kinj, “dad,” Yavalla, etc. I must admit, while […]
Well, if Yavalla isn’t a god, she’s doing a pretty solid impersonation of one. That was one of the big takeaways from Episode 310, “From Paradise to Hell and Back,” as our two teams of “rescuers” converge on Yavalla’s stronghold and discover just how formidable, and popular, she has become. The Kinj parasites are changing […]
