• Urban in Scotland Series

      I was surprised and delighted to experience this small country. If you asked me only a few years ago if I’d ever visit, I’d scoff and say “No! What’s there?” Sometimes what you don’t know can keep you from experiencing so much! Say what you will but Outlander on Starz inspired me to visit

  • Season 6 Ep 7 “Sticks and Stones” Recap

    The penultimate ep is here! Allan and Tom blame Claire for the murder of Malva but I think they should look in the mirror. The Ghost of Lionel Brown officially freaked me out and Claire’s had enough too. She tells the Jamie about the truth and it all comes full circle. Mr. and Mrs. Bug

  • Season 6 Ep 6 “The World Turned Upside Down” Recap

    Well my world was turned upside down! This one took me a few days to recover. So much to talk about: Claire’s request for medical purposes, some comic relief like Mrs. Bug eavesdropping (I’d do it too), Jamie’s confession, and so many questions about who Malva really is (was). Plus, is she a villain who’s

  • Season 6 Ep 5 “Give Me Liberty” Recap

    The episode opens with a flashback and a fun historical note about Flora McDonald that illuminates the origins of Outlander’s theme song. Part of my Season 6 drinking game is wondering how pregnant Caitriona Balfe appears this week! Claire has a party trick that seems to be hereditary. Don’t worry: Mary is not Phaedra from

  • Season 6 Ep 4 Hour of the Wolf

    Fergus is drunk on Jamie Koolaid now and so am I. Is Young Ian young anymore? After this episode, no. Don’t ever leave Malva alone in your lab especially if you want to have sex with your husband because she’s gonna creep and peep. Word of the week is ensorcellment and I’m ready to be

  • Season 6 Ep 3 “Temperance” Recap

    It’s feeling like S1 and that’s a good thing (even though we’re not in Scotland). I didn’t read the book (because the last one was so terrible) so I don’t know everything that’s coming. Roger is giving me Father Bain PTSD. And Tom Christie? So many things. “Tom Jones” book has “bawdy exuberance” and Christie

  • Season 6 Ep 2 “Allegiance” Review

    This ep kicks up the pace after a slower premiere. Brianna is playing with matches and  forgets that her parents might die by fire (?), Jamie and Claire need to AirBnB that house immediately, I learned all about the French Birthing Technique and Malva learned a lot more. Tune in! Check out Twitter and Instagram

  • Season 6 Premiere – “Echoes”

    So much has happened in the last two years, right? The Outlander train is back so jump on for the Season 6 premiere!  

  • Scotland 2022

    I am a case study in the field of Outlander fandom. Little did I know that after I first watched the show on that long ago day in 2015 that I’d end up making three trips to Scotland over the years. Before then the country was in the backwater of my mind. In fact Scotland

  • “Clanlands” Book Review from an (un)biased Fan

    Sam Heughan is a busy man. Not even a pandemic could slow him down! While the rest of us were noshing on chips watching Netflix and becoming a permanent fixture on our couch this guy was writing a book. When I first heard I thought oh god I hope he’s not becoming that celebrity who

      It’s here! I got my Pocket Jamie and plaid on so let’s find those Easter Eggs at Thanksgiving Dinner!

  • Season 5 Ep 9 “Monsters and Heroes” Recap

    This episode has it all: Snake bites, dads walking in on their partially nude daughter, buffalo, male bonding, babies born in the woods, Jamie and Claire declaring their love (again)! It’s got it all! Also, let’s talk about cyber stalking.

  • The Fiery Cross Book Review!

    The first book review I’ve done on Diana’s books. That’s how much I love despise this book! I’d love to hear why you love it or why it’s not your favorite in the series because let’s just say I have “fiery” thoughts. I start with what I like and hope to see in the show

  • Season 5 Ep 6 Better to Burn than Marry Recap

    There’s SO much to talk about! Let’s dive in cause we’re talking Jocasta’s tragic history, women moving away from all this political talk, Wylie being uber gross, and when the writers do things right and when they are tone deaf about slavery and race in the show.  

  • Season 5 Ep 2 – Between Two Fires – Review

    Ruthless Murtagh, Marsali the Butcher of Fraser’s Ridge, and more! I’m holding hands with Roger because I couldn’t do shite in the 18th century too. Let’s sing our way outta here!

  • Fan Book Review: The Making of Outlander: Official Guide to Seasons Three & Four

    During Droughtlander, it’s nice to revisit episodes and the moments you like best of the past few seasons before the next season premieres. Ahead of season five, one great way to do that is by reading Tara Bennett’s The Making of Outlander: The Official Guide to Seasons Three and Four which dives into each episode,

  • 2019 Wrap Up: The Good, Not So Good, But Ultimately Fun Outlander Year!

      This year has given and taken for Outlander fans. Whether you enjoyed Season 4 or not, there were other projects to see some of the show’s actors, new interviews to read and hear, (more unique dress choices from Caitriona Balfe) and cast appearances at award shows among many other things. With Season 5 on
