Outlander: Monsters and Heroes

"Lord, have mercy."

Hello everyone!

Back at it on Fraser's Ridge this week, we discover a great many things, such as locking doors might not have been a big thing back in the 18th century wilderness but it sure does help when your in-laws live just up the hill, babies, especially those that aren't firstborns come at a very high speed, and above all else, you need to watch where you're going.

I feel like that's a theme that's generally repeated today as well whenever you're in the woods, or at the very least it is where I live.

Granted, they usually explain you have to be wary about other little critters that could potentially give you some sort of disease. Snakes, as a rule, aren't that much of a danger here, but still ...

Meeting one in the middle of nothing would be scary even in the 21st century!

I'm trying to imagine the whole scene in my head and I'm failing miserably.

Meanwhile, you're probably wondering whether I've lost it. What's this about snakes, you say?

Well, wonder no longer, clan, though you probably already know.

On this week's Outlander, Monsters and Heroes, we get to meet a slithery kind of monster.

Outlander: Between Two Fires

"Isn't this playing God?"

Hello everyone!

Our favourite Sassenach was back in full force this week, so of course we're going to be checking out exactly what she's been up to.

The problem with shows like Outlander is that they only air once a week, which means that you then need to wait ONE FULL WEEK before you can get to the next episode and see what happens after whatever sort of cliffhanger they decide to throw in your direction at the end of the current one.

Naturally, patience is a virtue, but also naturally, it doesn't necessarily come easy.

Still, the wait between episodes one and two is over, because this week, it was all about trying to find our footing in a world that's becoming more and more unsure, and definitely dangerous.

You'll recall that the book, The Fiery Cross, deals with the beginnings of the American Revolution.

Between Two Fires begins to set the stage for just that, so let's take a look at just what happened to all our favourite Frasers and Mackenzies, shall we?

Outlander: The Fiery Cross

"The Frasers of the Ridge are here!"

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to another serial on my blog. I wasn't sure if I'd be doing this or not, at least initially, but then I decided why not? This is one of my favourite shows ever, and while I've done random posts connected to it in the past, I'd never really written it episode by episode.

The only show I've ever done it for was Game of Thrones, and I have to admit that it's kind of interesting.

I watch a BUNCH of shows every show season, and somehow the only one who got this coveted spot was HBO's. The others, I've either not done at all or I've covered in one massive post.

The adaptation of Diana Gabaldon's work, however, is much too big and too complex to squeeze into just the one blog post.

Between all the intrigue, history, romance, and hilarity that abounds, Outlander delivers on just about every front you can imagine. So let's see what season 5 has in store for us, shall we?
