One of the glorious things that can sometimes come out of watching a show blindly is that it gives you some of the freedom to craft your own interpretations on things. Such was the position we were in going into this weekend’s new episode of “Outlander.” We are not someone who has read a single […]
Before we talk about the candidates for Episode of the Week for the week of April 12, let us first recognize the winner of the CarterMatt poll from last week: With 51% of the vote, the “Afterlife” episode of “Agents of SHIELD” season 2 wins the honor for the week of April 5. Congrats to […]
At the end of tonight’s new episode of “Outlander,” we saw Claire Fraser ultimately end up returning to Jamie. Did she do it out of necessity after learning that she could not return home, or choice? We enjoy the ambiguity of it all very much for now. All we can say for now is that […]
“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” fans, be prepared to gather around your TVs tonight at around 9:00 p.m. Eastern time for “The Devil’s Mark,” an episode that is poignant, complex, and also rather jam-packed at the same time. This is by far our favorite episode of the entire series. We’d explain more as to why, but we would risk […]
At the end of this past weekend’s new episode of “Outlander,” what we saw was Claire Fraser in a particularly terrible position. She had been tricked to go and check on her friend (do we call her that?) Geillis after receiving a note, only to realize later that this was a way to get the […]
At the end of this weekend’s “Outlander,” Claire found herself in a shocking place: In the custody of police for a crime that she did not commit. Heck, witchcraft is more of a crime based on suspicion and paranoia than actual facts, so it’s crazy to begin with that terrible things could happen to Caitriona […]
Tonight, “Outlander” painted the latest dangerous situation for its main characters, one that led to Jamie and Dougal being sent away at least temporarily, while Claire and Geillis were each arrested for witchcraft. This was a very dirty stunt seemingly pulled off by Laoghaire, who remains completely obsessed with the idea that Jamie will be with […]
“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” returned to Starz last week with an episode that brought you much more of the Jamie Fraser backstory, and helped us to further understand that while he may be a good man in many ways, he is flawed and at times clings far too much to what tradition tells him to do. Saturday’s “By […]
