Outlander: Famous Last Words

"You are alive. You are whole. All is well."

Hello everyone!

This week, we are back at it in the wilderness of North Carolina, 18th century, with our favourite clan of Frasers and Mackenzies.

Starz knew what they were doing when they had a mini-break between the previous episode, The Ballad of Roger Mac, and the one that aired this weekend, because the anticipation and anxiety built and crested over the weekend we were bereft of the storyline, and I think some viewership might have even spiked.

If you recall, we were literally left hanging by the time it was all over for the Regulators and their ilk, and everyone and their mother wanted to throttle Graham McTavish's new character whenever he showed his face on screen.

You gotta love the man. He has such a talent, and adding a wig onto his bald pate was incredibly amusing given we're all so used to Dougal and the shiny orb of a head.

But I digress.

We basically all know what happened before. Now, we need to figure out what happens AFTER.

Outlander, and Famous Last Words, here we go.

Outlander: Better to Marry than Burn

"Speak of the Devil and he appears."

Hello everyone!

Droughtlander might be coming closer, but it isn't THAT close yet, so we still have something to look forward to every Sunday, and escaping into 18th century North Carolina sounds like a pretty good deal, all things considered.

After all, even if we'd be dealing with locusts, wouldn't that mean we're at least outside AND communicating with other people?

With quarantine now pretty much all around us AND upon us, it's best if we leave real life to its own problems for a while, and escape three hundred years or so into the past.

After all, it's a whole lot more fun watching Jamie Fraser deal with all the problems heading his way (and the hilarities accompanying them), not to mention the fact that he just ALWAYS seems to end up in some kind of trouble.

Some people have all the luck - or no luck at all, depending on how you look at it.

Better to Marry than Burn is the sixth episode of Outlander this season, and it's absolutely worth taking a look at.
