I hate to admit it, but we’re 3/4 way through Season 3 ?. I thought I’d take a moment to look back and point out my favorite moments and scenes so far this season, one episode at a time. Here we go with 301: beautifully written by Ronald D. Moore, expertly directed by Brendan Maher, […]
OutlanderBTS – Episode 308: Was This The Real Reunion?
To my children, Laura Juliet, Samuel Gordon, and Jennifer Rose, Who gave me the heart, the blood, and the bones of this book. — dedication for Voyager, by Diana Gabaldon. Ahhh 308: Jamie and Claire felt like Jamie and Claire, and the supporting characters, including Lallybroch, were like coming home to a warm embrace. In the podcast […]
OutlanderBTS Reviews Episode 307: Action, Transitions & Friction
I wasn’t going to review this episode, because I didn’t feel compelled at first, and I likely won’t go into the detail I did with Ep 306 (I never truly know until I get started). But I like to understand why things are the way they are, and there are some interesting elements to explore […]
Episode 306 in Review: OutlanderBTS Deep Dive into A. Malcolm
OK, we start with a mysterious woman helping Jamie with his stock and scarf, but since I’m a book fan, I know that’s Madame Jeanne, not Jamie’s new love. Speaking of which, if you are not a book reader, this piece is chock-full of SPOILERS. As usual, the details of the sets, locations, and costumes […]
The Wedding Episode… Blueprint for The Print Shop?
A couple of months ago my little one was at a sleepover, and my guys were doing their individual man cave thing, so I decided to partake in some woman cave. I looked to see what episode Starz was re-running that night, thinking I’d watch and maybe do a recap. I went to the Starz […]
Asses and Armpits… Episode 202: Deleted Scenes, BTS, Bloopers & Highlights
Ahhhh… any episode that opens with Jamie and Claire having sex is a good episode, right? When the camera pans back to Claire and we get BJR instead, though, wow. Horrors. And then the stabbing and the splattering blood, and the zombie coming back to life part. I remember being fully awake when I saw this […]
Episode 201, Through a Glass, Darkly: Deleted Scene, a Cameo, and a Q&A
There’s something exciting about starting the first episode of a new season (even in rerun). Perhaps it’s because in a few short months we’ll be seeing the first episode of Season 3? It’s been a long time coming, and by all accounts, it will have been very worth the wait. So, even watching the “previously…” […]
Episode 115, Wentworth
All photos: Sony/Starz ahhhghhhhh I hate this episode. Thank goodness I’m doing this post so I can take breaks from watching it. Written by Ira Stephen Behr and directed by Anna Foerster, Episode 115 is intense. Even in the beginning when the implements of torture are being displayed I feel disturbed. Ack, horrid. It’s the damn […]
Episode 114 The Search: Dancing Duncan, Thelma and Louise, Deleted Scenes, & More
This weekend’s episode is 114, The Search. Jenny is SUCH a badass! I love her!! First she takes a dram and then births that breech baby Maggie, then a few days later she hops on a horse and rides across the land, examining hoof prints, reading bird movement, and feeling horse dung to track down […]
