• Season 2 – Ep 8 – “The Fox’s Lair” and all its foxiness

    We’re back in Scotland in Episode 208 but can we stay a little longer in Lallybroch to see our friends? We’re over the “mid season” hump and the opening titles have some mystery images: 1960s cars and soldiers! Laoghaire returns and I’m wondering if she has really reformed or trying to convince herself? And can

The tension builds and we’re left with Jamie and Claire. Is this the Ultimate Test? Don’t forget to subscribe to my newsletter!

  • Outlander Season 2 – Episode 4 – It’s M-M-Marvelous!

    New Pocket Jamie and a new month so a new calendar pic! “La Dame Blanche” was so exhilarating! We gotta talk about Jame and Claire and their sexual healing. Not sure about le whore but I’m happy that they’re back together…for now. And how about his monologue? Book 1 excerpt below (I just couldn’t help
