Outlander notes: Richard Rankin fun; Big House chatter!
Today, we’re starting things off with more chatter about the Big House! If you missed it, yesterday we shared some of our first insight about this “house” and what it may mean to the story. For those who are not aware, the Big House is going to be the new home of Jamie and Claire Fraser. This is something that was teased within a new photo yesterday and within this piece, we want to pose another question — how fast should the producers want to show this place off?
We do recognize the merits of getting to the Big House in season 5 sooner rather than later — it’s an iconic estate that will add to the beauty of Fraser’s Ridge and show more how this is Jamie and Claire Fraser’s true home base. Yet, if you have it come about too quickly, then you miss the struggle of having it built. Also, there is a part of us that longs to see Jamie and Claire having to figure out how to live of Roger, Bree, and Jemmy in that cabin. Think of the entertainment value of seeing them all struggle to figure that out!
In our view, the Big House should make its debut in episode 3 or 4 — or, at least roughly around when the cabin started to have a stable presence on the series.
Richard Rankin humor
Sure, there’s nothing altogether spoilery about this new Instagram photo HERE of the very top of Sophie Skelton’s head — yet, it’s still funny, especially since Richard takes at times the most fantastic of pictures. If also continues the trend of Richard and Sophie having fun on set — it feels like they’ve been the busiest cast members this week, judging at least from their social-media history.
What do you want to see on Outlander season 5, and for the Big House?
