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 5’s New Opening Credits

After the holiday blitz of menorahs, Christmas trees, over-eating, gift-buying, crazy driving, and ringing in the New Year by watching confetti spill over the ball drop at Times Square (or for some of us – staying quietly at home and passing out by 10pm), Droughtlander will be almost over! Fans won’t have to wait long

Feeling Small: Meeting Tobias in London

I’ve been quiet about my meeting Tobias Menzies after his play “The Hunt” in London last week. I’ve been quiet about it because the evening upset me on a few levels that have nothing to do with him and nothing to do with Caitriona Balfe who, yes, was there too. Who knew the chances of

That’s a Wrap on 2018! The Cons, Tweets, and GMA Appearances with Sam!

Happy new year! As a wild and crazy Outlander fan, 2018 brought some surprises. I didn’t get to return to Scotland this year since my 2017 trip mostly because I haven’t (yet) met my Jamie Fraser to cozy up with in a cabin in the Highlands. Don’t worry because I’m working on it. I’ll send

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 8 “First Wife” – First for a Reason

Ep 8 knocked it outta the park since the Print Shop! Here are a few film making facts about Lallybroch location, Jenny isn’t buying the story, and be honest – if you were Jamie Fraser’s 2nd wife you’d curse Claire out too and grab that gun!

Season 3 Ep 7: Creme de Menthe – Minty Fresh?

The honeymoon is over! Dr.Randall calls, Jamie and Claire still have a lot of ‘splainin to do, Young Ian the Deflowered, and I have some questions about some mystery scenes…

Urban in Scotland: Mallaig & Oban – Fairies Welcome

Driving from Edinbane, the northern part of Skye, I wind down the roads to catch the ferry back to the mainland. The sun is out and its rays dance on the lochs, glittering along the shore amidst the deep blue water. My eye catches a wee sign posted on the side of the road
