Outlander – Never My Love

An Eviscerating Depiction of Misogyny in an Episode That Deals With a Difficult Storyline with Sensitivity and Tact. CONTAINS SPOILERS. Knowing what was going to happen to Claire (Caitriona Balfe) in this week’s episode, needless to say I wasn’t looking forward to watching the season finale. Unsurprisingly, it was an uncomfortable watch, but the difficult […]

Outlander – Journeycake

Attacks, Secrets Revealed, Parting of the Ways, Precarious Sex & Jamie on the Warpath. CONTAINS SPOILERS. The start to this week’s episode is hardly auspicious even by Outlander’s standards when Claire (Caitriona Balfe), Jamie (Sam Heughan), Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin) come across a burnt out cabin: its inhabitants murdered before the cabin […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 6

Long Phone Calls, Friendship, Podcasts, Disingenuous Tory Ministers & Daily Briefing Bingo My main take away from lockdown this week is that phone calls nowadays are of much longer duration than they ever used to be. And this is coming from someone who is an expert in ending phone calls as soon as I have […]

Outlander – Monsters and Heroes

The Power of Love, Blossoming Relationships & How Physical Closeness is Much More than Just Sex This week’s episode is another engaging hour of telly, filled with action and relationships, the cornerstone of all the best Outlander episodes. First and foremost, there is the love between Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe), so strong […]

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 – 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 […]

Lockdown Life of a London Singleton – Week 2

Boredom, too much social media, absurd telly and that’s just for starters! Another week in lockdown and it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that it’s been more of the same. I became so bored at one point that in utter desperation I cleaned the bathroom. In fact, it’s getting that bad I am […]

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 – Perpetual Adoration

Claire Gets Pensive, Jamie Kills Again while Brianna and Roger Get Closer. Clare (Caitriona Balfe) is in philosophical mood this week; cue a lot of voice over about the meaning of time. Being a Brit whose national philosophy can be summed up in just two words ‘fuck it’ (it’s the only way I can possibly […]

Outlander – The Company We Keep

This week Outlander is well and truly back on track: Claire and Jamie are all loved up, more difficulties en route arrive, Jamie is in Highland Fling mode and the spectre of Stephen Bonnet casts a shadow at Fraser Ridge. While standing in for Jamie (Sam Heughan), Roger (Richard Rankin) shows that his previous career […]
