Outlander – If Not For Hope

Misdirection, Marriage Proposals and Making Up. Contains SPOILERS. This week’s episode opens with a sneaky bit of misdirection in the teaser before the opening credits when we are first led to believe that Roger (Richard Rankin) has headed back through the stones and is enjoying the advantages of 20th century indoor plumbing. It turns out […]

Outlander – The Deep Heart’s Core

In this week’s episode the story becomes all the more dramatic, secrets are revealed and Brianna proves she’s Jamie’s daughter in more ways than one – primarily by having a great right hook. There are some fantastic scenes in this week’s episode including the opening one when Jamie (Sam Heughan) informs Brianna (Sophie Skelton) that […]

Outlander – The Birds and The Bees

This week’s episode pulls no punches both literally, after all it is Jamie doing the hitting, and emotionally, when Jamie finally meets his daughter. Contains SPOILERS. At its heart Outlander is all about love. It’s one of the main reasons why the books and TV series are so compelling. There is romantic love as depicted […]

Outlander – Wilmington

Full Marks to the Outlander Production Team in Dealing with a Difficult Scene So Well. If Nothing Else, the Wilmington Episode Makes Clear the Stark Difference between Sex and Rape This week’s episode is a tale of two halves – Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) are in Wilmington, summoned by Governor Tryon (Tim […]

No Jamie or Claire this week, instead the focus is on the trials and tribulations of Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin), with the added bonus of a surprise return by one of Outlander’s stalwarts in the form of Brianna’s 20th century father, Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies). Thus this week’s show begins with Brianna, […]

MY Outlander Review – Freedom and Whisky

False Expectations, Brianna Grows Up, Timeless Ageing and Claire Decides.Contains SPOILERS. This week’s episode proved to be a case of false expectations on my part. Unable to avoid the chatter on social media, I thought this week’s episode would feature THAT reunion. Of course it did but in a way it didn’t, the brief snapshot […]

MY Outlander Review – Of Lost Things

In this week’s episode Claire’s story takes a backseat, Roger and Brianna finally kiss and Jamie is blackmailed into having sex. Oh yes, and there’s a new addition to the Fraser clan. Contains SPOILERS (obviously). I’m presuming Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) story takes a backseat due to the fact that there’s limited dramatic value in watching […]
