Outlander – The Ballad of Roger Mac

Romance, action, tragedy: Outlander is back on track. CONTAINS SPOILERS. This week’s episode kicks off with Roger (Richard Rankin) saying his fond farewells to Brianna (Sophie Skelton) as he heads off to the battlefront. Now that Rankin has been freed from the shackles of Season 4 where his alter ego often ended up acting like […]

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: Between Two Fires

Murtagh proves he’s incapable of keeping a low profile, Jamie is in a bind and Claire, as usual, is throwing caution to the wind. Despite Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) request to Murtagh(Duncan Lacroix) to be hard to find, Murtagh does the exact opposite when he becomes the ringleader of a group of Regulators who storm into […]

Outlander – If Not For Hope

Misdirection, Marriage Proposals and Making Up. Contains SPOILERS. This week’s episode opens with a sneaky bit of misdirection in the teaser before the opening credits when we are first led to believe that Roger (Richard Rankin) has headed back through the stones and is enjoying the advantages of 20th century indoor plumbing. It turns out […]

Outlander – The Deep Heart’s Core

In this week’s episode the story becomes all the more dramatic, secrets are revealed and Brianna proves she’s Jamie’s daughter in more ways than one – primarily by having a great right hook. There are some fantastic scenes in this week’s episode including the opening one when Jamie (Sam Heughan) informs Brianna (Sophie Skelton) that […]

Outlander – The Birds and The Bees

This week’s episode pulls no punches both literally, after all it is Jamie doing the hitting, and emotionally, when Jamie finally meets his daughter. Contains SPOILERS. At its heart Outlander is all about love. It’s one of the main reasons why the books and TV series are so compelling. There is romantic love as depicted […]

MY Outlander Review – All Debts Paid

One fantastic actor makes a surprise appearance while another stalwart makes his final exit. Episode 3 proves to be another fine episode in what is shaping up to be an engrossing season. CONTAINS SPOILERS. All Debts Paid opens with what seems a happy domestic scene chez the Randalls in 1950s Boston but it soon transpires […]

MY Outlander Review – The Battle Joined

My favourite TV series is back (well on Amazon at least) and we’re talking grief, honour, everyday sexism and perhaps most importantly of all: is Murtagh alive? Contains SPOILERS. Droughtlander is finally over and season 3 of Outlander is back. Our intrepid lovers Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) are separated through time and […]

How to survive Droughtlander – Outlander vs Dragonfly in Amber

If you’re an Outlander geek like me (and chances are if you’re reading this you are) you can have hours of fun clocking up the differences between the novel and the TV series, trying to figure out why they did what they did and what the hell you think about it. As a rule, screen […]
