The moral of this week’s episode would seem to be: no good deed goes unpunished, though saying that, unusually for Outlander, the opening episode of Season 4 is rather a slow burner that’s if you discount the first 10 minutes or so and the last 5, neither of which proves fortunate for either of Jamie’s […]

MY Outlander Review – Eye of the Storm

A Finale of Two Halves, Some Far-Fetched Heroics, Geillis in Nutty Scottish Nationalist Mode and Some Sexy Foreplay. Contains SPOILERS. From my perspective, this season’s finale was a bit of an anti-climax.

Lies, Sex and Murder. Oh yes, and Jamie proves he can also be a bit of a twat.Contains SPOILERS. After last week’s episode, this episode was always going to be a bit of an anti-climax. But after such a longed-for reunion, I didn’t expect the cracks between our two lovers to show so soon, even […]

MY Outlander Review – Surrender

In Episode 2 Claire and Jamie get on with their lives but can’t let go of their past and so far, I can’t get enough of Season 3. Not surprisingly in an episode entitled Surrender this episode is about exactly that. We first see Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a shell of the man he was, […]
