Outlander: Journeycake

"I hope I'm wrong, but ... I feel a storm coming."

Hello everyone!

We are back for the second to last time before Droughtlander begins again, because this coming Saturday is the finale of season five - and it's promising to be one explosive episode, judging by the one preceding it.

Why do I say that, you ask?

Well, read on.

If you thought that things couldn't get any more dramatic on a show that basically takes the word drama and reinvents it a thousand different times, you were most definitely wrong. And because sprinkles of the book itself found their way into the script, you can rest assured it was one big chunk to bite through.

All season long, Outlander has had this thing where it gained momentum specifically when book scenes were included in the show proper, and nowhere does it show more clearly than in episode eleven.

Not only do we get a very brief glance back to season three and Claire in Edinburgh, but we get to see Jamie eat peanut butter. Our lives are now pretty much complete, so let's check out Journeycake, shall we?

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?
