Outlander – Famous Last Words

Rankin Gets to Shine, Original Motifs and the Return of an Old Favourite Fortunately for all the Richard Rankin fans out there, Roger survives the hanging. How, you might ask? The TV series seems to suggest it was thanks to Roger getting a hand between his neck and the rope but that’s by the by. […]

Outlander – Better to Marry Than Burn

Jocasta Gets a Back Story, Murtagh Is in Daredevil Mode and Roger Rises to The Occasion. As Does Jamie but That’s a Totally Different Scenario. We’re half way through Season 5; yet I still have the distinct impression that the writers are stretching the story out somewhat: hence the need for more filler. As someone […]

Outlander – The Fiery Cross

Outlander is back! Love is in the air, trouble is brewing and an old friendship looks as if it’s on a collision course.

A Finale of Two Halves, Some Far-Fetched Heroics, Geillis in Nutty Scottish Nationalist Mode and Some Sexy Foreplay. Contains SPOILERS. From my perspective, this season’s finale was a bit of an anti-climax. Perhaps this was because the last two seasons finished with such strong episodes; or maybe because Season 3 was so enthralling at the […]

MY Outlander Review – The Bakra

Bloodbaths, Old Acquaintances and Smouldering Looks Contains SPOILERS. This episode proves what a small world it was in the 18th century with Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) bumping into not one but four old faces from home despite being on the other side of the world. The one old face they actually want […]

MY Outlander Review – Of Lost Things

In this week’s episode Claire’s story takes a backseat, Roger and Brianna finally kiss and Jamie is blackmailed into having sex. Oh yes, and there’s a new addition to the Fraser clan. Contains SPOILERS (obviously). I’m presuming Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) story takes a backseat due to the fact that there’s limited dramatic value in watching […]
