Greetings.
I hope this short post finds you well. Due to an ongoing (but improving) health issue, I have been unable to blog and will not be hosting discussions with the BTS Lassies at this time. I miss the lassies and our discussions, hopefully we can resume in the near future.
I did watch Episode 702, and I loved it. I felt that everything was superb: the story construction, the adaptation, the writing, the directing, the camera work, the music, the pacing, the costumes, the sets, and the acting, (the casting!), and the post production special effects and editing. A very solid and emotionally evocative episode. Kudos to everyone who brought it to life.
Starz came out with some great BTS for this ep, which I am sharing below.

Here is a cute short of the cast, while in the US being asked what they miss about the UK…

Courtney, reading your post was a comfortable visit with a dear cyber pal. Sending prayers and positivity for your continued healing. Outlander is the reason for this group, but you and the BTS lasses are its heart. We are here for you; we’ll wait for you. We know how to wait….we’ve survived another Droughtlander! Thinking of you all as Season 7 unfolds.
Grow Stronger With Every Day!

Be well!! Missed you all. It just isn’t the same without all your comments on the show. Love season 7 so far.
I was most worried something was wrong – thank you for the update as we do support you with lots of Outlander energy and Jamie prayers. Glad you enjoyed the first two episodes like I did!
Feel better soon, Courtney! I will add you to my prayers.
I agree about 702. I totally ugly cried and I’ve read all the books, so I knew what was coming. Everything was just st phenomenal!!
I don’t expect you to reply. Save your energy and relax.
Dear Courtney
Thanks for the update.
I hope you will soon recover completely!
Best wishes,
Henny

Hallo Elly
Nee, je kan niet naar Starz kijken in Nederland, maar Ziggo heeft de uitzendrechten voor Outlander. Via Ziggo to go movies en series kun je elke maandag (dag na de release in de VS) een nieuwe aflevering zien.
Groet

Hi Courtney. I was happy to see an email from you. I’m truly sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling well, but thankful you’re on the mend. I look forward to the return of the BTS ladies, however long it may take. Please take care of yourself until we see you again. XO
Thanks for your email Courtney. Wishing you all the best…take good care.
Wondered where you had disappeared to Courtney. Will miss your lively and interesting discussions with the lassies. But health comes first. Wishing you well for the future.
Anne
So good to hear from you, I guessed there was something wrong because you kept us updated so well.
I run a small little group so I will tell them you have made contact.
Get well soon and hope to see your great blogs as soon as you feel up to it.
Christine
So glad to hear from you!! I hope your health keeps improving and we’ll be here when you’re ready to host discussions again. Everyone loved ep 702!! Take care.
Courtney- so relieved to hear from you! You have been in my thoughts for months. Thank you for updating your BTS friends about your health & hopes for the future. Sending you lots of healing blessings & hugs. We miss you. And…yes! Episode 2 was amazing! As close to perfection as possible. Loved reading your thoughts about the production. Take good care of yourself. We are in your corner cheering you on. All my best.
Leider können wir in Deutschland die Episoden immer erst eine Woche später sehen
Aber den vielen Spoilern nach, muss sie sehr ereignisreich und traurig sein. Durch die Bücher und Spoiler weiß ich ,welche Storylines verfilmt wurden und bin sehr auf die nächsten Episoden gespannt. Mich interessieren die Bts sehr
Hope you’re doing much better very soon!
Courtney, I was happy to see your post but sorry you have been unwell. Hope you are now on the road to recovery.
Look after yourself we will always be here.
Love and well wishes from Australia x
So good to hear from you again Courtney. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Loved the episode. Love and best wishes.
Such a welcome e mail. Glad you are regaining your strength. Prayers for a complete recovery. Rest up. We will be here. Oh – really missing the episode discussions. But I’m very patient.
Take care, hope that you are feeling better soon.
Thank you for the update as I have been searching for your posts. You and Carmen are both in my prayers for healing. Get well soon! 💕📚
I was thinking about you and wondering how you were. Take care of yourself, and we’ll see you when you’re ready.
Dear, Dear Courtney. Thanks for this and for your commitment to Outlander and us fans. Sending you lots of love and blessings as you heal. ❤️🦋💥 Tricia
Forgot to say that I had just been wondering why I hadn’t seen a post from you in some time and had planned to reach out to you. It was so nice to see your email.
When I speak of Outlander (as I did recently in a work meeting 😊) I always mention you and how generous you were (and are) when I first joined Twitter, and after. From welcoming me into group the threads, to being a supportive ear to my sensitivities, to honoring me with prizes, and everything associated with OTBS and the lassies. You’re the sweetest and the best.
Hi there I almost enjoy the discussions as much as the show. Hope you feel better soon. And hello to all the other Ladies
Stay well
Oh precious Courtney. I am SO very glad to see your blog again and you popping up quietly on social media. I have been praying for you and your family for a long time. I can’t imagine what its been like for you this past year. Very thankful you are indeed slowly but surely improving. Content to read your insightful observations on the blog. Take all the time you need and sending you such a big hug and so much love. PS. As Outlander has resumed, I’ve thought of you and the other Sassenach ladies often as I work on my parents property on Fridays. Please know you are all missed.
Glad you are back Courtney. Hello from the crazy Hudson Highlanders group. I have been seeing a lot of discussion about how could Bree and Roger afford Lallybroch. Book readers know but again I think this was a failure on the show writers. Somewhere in this episode they could have mentioned their time in Boston (other than Mandy’s operation and her recovery) and the arrangements that Claire had made for Bree financially before she left to go through the stones. I’m not sure what episode that was in but I know they covered it back so long ago. Maybe a moment to remind. Anyway enjoyed your comments and miss the lasses!!
I had been wondering what had happened to you, so I’m glad to see you back. I hope your health continues to improve and will be looking forward to your posts.
Thank you Janet. Me too, that’s my plan. I will post when I can xo
