Outlander season 2 review

Let us begin this “Outlander” finale review with a simple admission: “Dragonfly in Amber” equates to a flood of tears. We’re not entirely sure that an episode has aired of the show with so much emotion, so much passion, or so much a deft hand when it comes to the writing. There is so much […]

For this weekend’s new episode of “Outlander,” there was clearly one moral to the story: Nothing comes easy in life, and even seeing the future does not mean that you can change the present. While we anticipate something huge coming soon in the Battle of Culloden, the story in “The Hail Mary” was more about […]

There were many things that unfolded on this weekend’s new episode of “Outlander,” but the majority of them seemed to revolve around one person more so than anyone else: The Duke of Sandringham. We always knew that there was something shifty about this man, but who would have imagined that things would go to this level, this […]

We are always curious as to how television will try to craft an epic battle sequence. This is a world of reality first and foremost, and crafting some of these sort of sequences cannot be even remotely affordable even to premium cable networks. Yet, somehow “Outlander” this weekend managed to do a brilliant job using […]

We’ve known that war was coming to “Outlander” for quite some time, mostly because of the movement of the overall story and also the determination of one Prince Charles. Yet, as someone coming into this story with little experience with the Diana Gabaldon book series, we had little idea as to how it would unfold […]

Tonight on “Outlander” season 2, we had certainly what was a change of pace for the series, a change in setting, and a change of perspective for some of our heroes. After spending weeks trying to stop the Jacobite Rebellion my undermining Prince Charles in France, Claire and Jamie Fraser, now in Scotland, have realized […]

Heartbreaking. There is no other way to describe much of Saturday’s new episode of “Outlander,” a story that seemed to put an end to many of the narratives that have encompassed the second season to date. For one, this was the episode that ended the pregnancy story for Claire Fraser, albeit in the most devastating […]

There are many things that we identify as key characteristics for Jamie Fraser on “Outlander” season 2, and honor is one of them. What we learned tonight is that rather than lying, the man has discovered another way to get around keeping his word: Technicalities. Specifically, we’re referring here to Jamie determining that since he […]

There have been some episodes of “Outlander” so far through season 2 that have carried with them elements of politics or great sequences of mystery. In Saturday’s episode entitled “Untimely Resurrection,” we ultimately had neither of these things. Instead, this episode was fairly simple in its approach, especially once we got past the point that […]

How quickly things can turn on a dime within the world of “Outlander.” What started on Saturday night’s new episode as a dinner party designed to get the secret out regarding the Duke of Sandringham’s donations to the Jabobite Rebellion ended up instead being a brutal brawl, one that caused Jamie and Claire to lose […]
