There were many welcome things about the latest episode of “Outlander” airing on Starz this weekend, but one of the most notable sights was the return of Dougal MacKenzie to the proceedings. He’s a complicated figure in so many ways, largely because he has such a history now with Claire; yet, there is also a […]
Tonight on “Outlander,” the Starz series lifted the veil on some wartime preparations for Jamie and the rest of his army in Scotland; in the process, we also saw just how much Claire Fraser was struggling from the aftereffects of being Claire Randall during wartime efforts during World War II. We wish that some of […]
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 […]
We’ve made no secret of our love of Murtagh on this season of “Outlander” so far. The man has proven himself fiercely loyal to Jamie and Claire, and at the same time, still finds the time here and there for shenanigans … at least in France. Now that we are back in Scotland, it is […]
We’ve been wondering for a little while now as to why in the world Starz hadn’t renewed “Outlander” yet, with one of our big theories being that maybe there was a debate over a season 3 episode count. We knew that the drama was almost a lock to come back, given its popularity and the […]
In general, we often consider Memorial Day Weekend to be one of the worst three-day periods of the entire year when it comes to television. It’s the end of May sweeps for one, and there is a general sentiment of exhaustion from many people who just want to take a nice break and go and […]
Before we go any further, let’s provide a translation for the “Outlander” episode title above: “Je Suis Prest” means “I am ready,” and it is the motto of Jamie Fraser and by extension, his whole clan. Now that we’ve gotten that matter out of the way, let us go ahead and focus now on the […]
The second season of “Outlander” has provided wonderful entertainment, but at the same time, it has also given us a few little deviations here and there from the source material. One of the biggest ones came during this past new episode, given that we saw none other than Laoghaire appear far earlier than she does […]
As someone watching “Outlander” without the foresight or the knowledge of the Diana Gabaldon source material, we were not aware going into Saturday’s episode that the appearance of Laoghaire would be considered much of a surprise. It felt organic to the story, and where Jamie and Claire Fraser were. Ultimately, it made sense. It was […]
Tonight on Starz, “Outlander” returned with an episode that brought our heroes back to Scotland, and they also made a key decision to change history potentially when it comes to the Jacobite Rebellion. They have changed history before, so why not use Claire’s knowledge in order to create a very different outcome this time? By […]
