Matt Carter — Sun, 31 May 2015 02:03:11 +0000

The “Outlander” finale on Starz Saturday night was almost a year in the making, but was it worth it? That’s something that may be a debate for much of the next several days. For the time being, though, we can at least say that this was an intense, possibly-traumatizing episode to some viewers given that […]

‘Outlander’ season 1, episode 15 review: Black Jack Randall sets out to ruin Jamie and Claire

Matt Carter — Sun, 17 May 2015 02:09:24 +0000

The penultimate episode of “Outlander” season 1 aired on Saturday, and if there is a specific word that can be used to describe it, is is “brutal.” This is one of the hardest episodes of the entire series to watch. It is violet, shocking, and takes no prisoners virtually from start to finish. If you […]

‘Outlander’ episode 14 review: Who wants to marry Claire now?

Matt Carter — Sun, 10 May 2015 02:00:16 +0000

“Outlander” is always a show stuffed full of surprises, isn’t it? We are not a book reader and have little knowledge of the events there, so if you were to tell us that at some point this season we would be seeing Claire Fraser sing a Scottish version of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” in an […]

‘Outlander’ episode 13 review: And now ‘The Watch’ has ended

Matt Carter — Sun, 03 May 2015 02:00:03 +0000

Sure, what better story than an “Outlander” review to make a “Game of Thrones” puns? It is one of the many ways that we try to entertain ourselves, since mostly this show has struggled do that as well the past couple of weeks. As lovely as it has been to see more of Lallybroch, the […]

‘Outlander’ episode 12 review: Jamie’s homecoming to Lallybroch is far from perfect

Matt Carter — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 02:00:10 +0000

Tonight, “Outlander” brought us a story in “Lallybroch” that was fascinating to watch from a character and history perspective, but at the same time, we also have to be honest here when it comes to the action in the episode. Before we got to the surprise ending at the close of the episode, there was not too […]

‘Outlander’ episode 11 review: One side now?

Matt Carter — Sun, 19 Apr 2015 02:00:06 +0000

“Outlander” to us has been so far one of those series that you can tell has the potential be great, but just is lacking a tool or two in order to get it there. Sometimes, we’ve felt like it was too reliant on either the shock value or the sex to bring in eyeballs. This […]

‘Outlander’ episode 10 review: Claire, Geillis Duncan learn of consequences

Matt Carter — Sun, 12 Apr 2015 01:59:19 +0000

“Outlander” can at times be a very entertaining show, and then at others be somewhat bizarre. Tonight, we bore witness to poisonings, drunken swordplay, and a woman doing some sort of spell ritual in the middle of the night while taking her top off. This woman was Geillis Duncan, who may be to Claire the […]

‘Outlander’ episode 9 review: Jamie Fraser’s past, present, and future

Matt Carter — Sun, 05 Apr 2015 02:03:04 +0000

In many ways, the midseason premiere of “Outlander” on Starz Saturday night was an outlier, especially when you relate its story to that of the installments that came before it. There was no narration from Caitriona Balfe through the minutes of the episode, just as there was no sighting of Frank Randall or the time […]

‘Outlander’ episode 8 review: Does Claire chose Frank or Jamie?

Now that Claire and Jamie are husband and wife we might expect that things will be easier for the couple when it comes to Black Jack and their future, but this is “Outlander” and nothing comes easy. We’ve seen what’s happened to Claire over the past few episodes since her disappearance, but what about Frank? […]

‘Outlander’ episode 7 review: ‘The Wedding,’ and those Caitriona Balfe – Sam Heughan scenes

Well, you can now definitely say that “Outlander” is holding nothing back, now is it? This is very clearly a show airing on Starz, since not many other cable networks would have touched the content of Saturday’s “The Wedding” in the slightest. This was a powerful episode emotionally, but also a very explicit one. This […]
