• Outlander Season 3 Collector’s Edition: What’s in the box?

    As Droughtlander labors on, super fans like me pre-ordered the Season 3 Collector’s Edition and when it arrived, gleefully unwrapped the package with a smirk not unlike that of the Amazon’s logo. The first thing I noticed was how light it was compared to the hulking Season One Collector’s Edition but on second thought there

  • Season 3 Ep 10: Heaven and Earth with a side of Typhoid

    Get on board this ship but watch out for the typhoid! Jamie is smokin with the old man glasses. Fergus and Marsali put out a fire. Lady Doctor Claire is in the house with a poppin new hat! I have one prediction for the next ep and it’s a really good joke…  

  • When Tobias Heard My Twitter Handle – San Diego Comic Con 2017

    The genius actor behind Black Jack Randall/Frank Randall in “Outlander”, the bumbling Edmure Tully on “Game of Thrones”, the tortured Brutus in “Rome”, the-gynecologist-with-a-penchant-for-gay-clubs Dr.Harries in “Catastrophe”, the smooth Nathaniel (“The Bodyguard”) Bloom in “The Honourable Woman”, and finally The Sexy, Smart, and Talented Boyfriend Lead in my quirky/rom-com/dramedy feature film co-starring me as The Neurotic

  • Urban in Scotland: Day 6 – Cranesmuir, Wentworth Prison, Inverness

    It’s my first morning in Edinburgh and I have planned a big day to visit a bunch of Outlander locations. The rain has subsided and resorted itself to overcast and cool weather. The night before I meet Sharon my host at Ramsay’s B&B. I tell her all the places I’m going to hit the next day.            

  • Dragonfly in Amber: Reflections on the book & the TV adaptation

                So Season 2 ended (with a bang I think!) and “Dragonfly in Amber” (aka DIA) beckoned me from my bookshelf as Droughtlander began. I read DIA for the first time after Season 2 ended. This was a theme I began after seeing Season 1 and then reading the first book “Outlander”. All of this

  • How Jen Had A Conversation With Tobias Menzies

    More like, “How I’m About to Have a Conversation with Jen about Tobias Menzies and How He Continues to Slay Us”   “But Tobias. Oh, Tobias. Here’s the thing about Tobias…the sincerity that cuts through your soul, is present in this performance. Almost like the role was created for him… and it’s a wonderful journey

  • Season 2 – Ep 12 – Praise The Hail Mary!

    Ira Steven Behr and Anne Kenney write a kick ass episode! M-m-m-marvelous Mary is back and she’s brought along the Randall Brothers. I respectfully decline my invitation to this wedding. Dougal and Black Jack’s relationships with their respective brothers delves deeper into their connections. We see tender and affection in new ways from these two.

  • Season 2 – Ep 7 – Close Your Eyes and Think of Scotland

    In this episode title “Faith”, how many tissues did you go through? My face is still puffy from crying. Claire and Jamie are tested once more and their Faith carries them through. Catriona Balfe’s performance is nothing short of a tour de force. I don’t need to see anymore from Black Jack Randall. Let’s just

  • Season 2 – Ep 5 – Untimely Resurrection – He Must Exist

    An Untimely Resurrection is upon us! This episode is a bit mind blowing, tense, and utterly exhilarating! It’s a BJR in Paris but did you feel bad for him being humiliated? I didn’t. 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 – Ep 3 – Useful Occupations and Deceptions

    I’m still getting used to Season 2 as Claire and Jamie (“Clamie”) voyage on rough waters. No one is to be trusted this episode. Maybe even Master Raymond? Secrets are held but when will they be told? Jamie isn’t always honest (and why did he to go to Maison Elise after their argument?) and neither

  • Outlander Season 2 Episode 2 – Not In Scotland anymore

    Darkness in the bedroom and plotting to stop the Jacobite Rebellion. We meet new friends: Louise, a King, a Prince, and a brother of someone sinister. Oh and who is Mary Hawkins?! Smile! You’ve Met a New Friend
