5 Comments

A wake, a sightseeing tour, memories and revelations, a death, reluctantly to safety she goes, a battle looming, a determination toward death, and a barbecue to pass through the stones. Dragonfly In Amber, the S2 E13 finale,   co-written by Toni Graphia and Matthew B. Roberts, is all that and more.

Claire is in her middle aged prime, Brianna Randall is a burgeoning young adult, Roger MacKenzie is brought in to the family secrets, and Jamie intends to die at Culloden for a cause he knows is lost…

Caitriona Balfe Tweets The Prestonpans Episode

Leave a comment

Caitriona Balfe graciously tweeted during the 9pm ET airing of Prestonpans S2 E10. She shows ample love to her cast mates and crew alike. Her humor is never far behind. She’s a thoughtful one, Ms. Balfe.

You can watch and read-along with the list compiled tweets to get her scene by scene take. The italicized thoughts are my responses to her tweets.

  50. .@Stephen3827675 OKAY I asked for it !!!!!! I always asked for it from you. (The hidden love story between Claire and Angus) 💋💋💋💋 (We KNEW it! Heehee)

That was wonderful having Caitriona tweet along with us.  She brings her own well of compassion, strength, and sense of justice, to our beloved Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp Randall Fraser. Her taking time to spend with the fans during a difficult episode is quite appreciated.

An incredible episode full of tense, generous, and funny moments. War is hell. It’s not glamorous or romantic. The anguish of waiting to see if your loved ones and friends return is well done.

War Is Come S2 Preview

2 Comments

From the luxurious and at times cutthroat happenings in France, The Fraser’s have gone home. They did all they could to stop the Jacobite uprising from taking place, but alas, it is now upon there own doorstep. Prince Charles has arrived and war is come to Scotland. The remaining episodes of the season will be steeped in difficult living, fighting, and more grave losses. Claire has shared all she knows with Jamie and Murtagh, now all they can do is try to change history for the win.

Returning to face the fight are favorites among the many, renowned Jacobite Dougal MacKenzie, Angus Mhor, and Rupert MacKenzie. I wonder what other faces will emerge. Will Mary Hawkins virtue be avenged? Will Black Jack Randall return with one life less? Can Lallybroch be saved now that Jamie is a known traitor? Have we heard the last of Alex Randall? The Duke of Sandringham? I imagine he is playing all sides as before.

Those are some of the many questions to be answered in the 5 remaining episodes.

Culloden is near and all we can do is wait, watch, and wonder.

My favorite screen capture stills are below. For all the images, follow me on Instagram.

He’s back. Mark him, he will have an uprising. Scotland, she is exquisite to behold.

Jamie and Claire FOREVER.

Faith S2 E7 – A Conversation – A Podcast Review

7 Comments

This podcast conversation and review on Faith S2 E7 is of difficult subject matter. As with watching the episode, please take good care when listening. Faith is more than a name…Jamie and Claire have faith in each other, in the future. The losses, great. The responsibility, shared.  The blame belongs on no one. Fergus is family. Claire pays a price seeking a private audience with the King. Le Comte St. Germain and Master Raymond are in harms way. Friendship weaves throughout. This is the best episode yet in both seasons.

Listen on iTunes, Stitcher, or directly below.

Podcast Best Laid Schemes Recap Review S2 E6

6 Comments

Jamie, Claire, and Murtagh must stop the wine sale going through to further compromise Prince Charles’ ability to get the uprising funded. Claire makes Jamie a promise. Murtagh is trusted and told everything. Le Comte St. Germain and Prince Charles are out of sorts. Black Jack causes Jamie to break his promise.  Schemes do not necessarily go according to plan. You will find this and so much more in this Outlander episode, Best Laid Schemes, written for television by Mathew B. Roberts and directed by Metin Huseyin.

Listen on iTunes, Stitcher, or directly below to my recap, review, and discussion. Find out why I love this episode. Slainte!
