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
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.
Episode 4 “Common Ground” marks a quarter way through Season 4 of Claire and Jaime’s epic journey through the colonies. In true Outlander fashion, much has already happened and I’m wondering how will the story unfold from here? The teaser for Episode 5 dangles a carrot by way of Brianna: She looks awfully close to those
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
Another one closer to The Print Shop. Yes Isobel, Lord John is REAL interesting. Brianna goes in like BAM with Roger! Put some color into Willie’s hair! And for one moment we were all John Grey. Theories for next ep?
Before I embark on my first voyage to Scotland, I’ve been reading “Voyager”, the third book of Diana Gabaldon’s “Outlander” book series. This is not only the first time I’m reading the book but also reading it before I watch the season on Starz TV. I’m sensing a theme of a lot of firsts! I’m

In light of appreciation for the hard work that goes into making this show, I really need to give my two cents about some other hot-button Outlander things that I
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
It’s the last episode of Season 2! I got my box of tissues but I’m groovin’ to the 60s music. There’s so much to talk about! Great performances by Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan but where’s the Bahston accent Brianna? Claire is still chasing Jamie’s ghost and she pulls a Lady Macbeth. Dougal, we’ll miss
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.
This DIA virgin is so nervous for the impending finale to Season 2! How are you getting ready? I’m speculating! Outlander fandom is full of the book readers but I’ll get to Dragonfly in Amber in good time. What will the Battle of Culloden really be like? It’s about the battle of our hearts. Jamie, stop
It’s Ep 11 of Outlander’s Season 2! Diana Gabaldon “Herself” penned this week’s ep and I’m counting a few Gabaldonisms. Surprised? Sam/Jamie and Cait/Claire are all mixed up but that’s cause they’re my friends…in my head. The Duke of Sandringham and m-m-m-marvelous Mary are back but…Wherefore art thou, Alex Randall??
Let’s just start with the fun stuff before it gets REAL. Jamie, why must you live only in fantasy? So many intense looks and that bow as you say goodbye? I can’t even. Lt.Foster is back but for a moment before Dougal smotes him. And he was so cute… Nurse Beecham tarries a little too
Did you believe Claire when she claims to have told Jamie about her and Dougal’s previous arrangement? She’s calling Dougal’s bluff! I don’t know who this William Grey is but I guess he’s a big deal. Also what is up with the dragonfly in amber?! I gotta know! There are some mysterious lines in this
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
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
Masquerades and Games I really did not like this episode. Upon first viewing I had no desire to watch it again. Quelle horreur! Right after an episode ends, I always rewatch (again and again) and delight that each one improves upon the last. Episode 5’s “Untimely Resurrection” left me thrilled, exasperated, and eager to
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!
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
