Previously: Claire and Jamie con Lord Lovat out of some fighting men. The titles card is a series of wheels rolling through a puddle. Claire and Jamie are riding with the men from Lovat, Claire telling us that they started with 100 and the numbers dwindled along the way to meet up with Murtagh and the Lallybroch men. Young Simon was sent off to bring them back with the promise of land when it was … Continue reading Outlander 2.09: “Je Suis Prest”

Can we get back to (Scottish) politics now? Yo. (H/T Mochabean) The title card is a fox, who is super cute until he glares at the camera, and it’s like, oh you are up to some shit. WE ARE BACK IN SCOTLAND. It is green and glorious. Claire voiceovers that they returned to heal in the highlands, and that Ian and Jenny had another baby while there were in Paris (HI JENNY I MISSED YOU). “Their … Continue reading Outlander 2.08: “The Fox’s Lair”
Trigger warning for child abuse and stillbirth. The title card pans over books – they are not 17th century books – and then a small hand turns a page to a picture of a large water bird, and a small red-headed girl says, “Look, Mama! What a pretty bird!” A woman in a blue skirt suit crouches down – it’s Claire, and a title card tells us that it is Boston, 1954. Claire agrees that … Continue reading Outlander 2.07: “Faith”
The title card is someone making and lighting torches. Jamie sits at his desk, staring into space. Murtagh enters, saying that Randall’s been released from the Bastille, and he’s going to meet with Randall’s second to discuss the details. It’ll be in two days, in the Bascome (sp) Woods. Murtagh notices that Jamie is considerably less into this duel idea than he was last week, and he’s like don’t worry you’re pretty red head, lad, … Continue reading Outlander 2.06: “Best Laid Schemes…”
Happy Hump Day! I don’t know about you, but this week feels like it’s crawling by. But hopefully these links will help you kill some time! Sarah is over at the Withings blog to talk about her relationship with fitness and romance: While Wendell works out to improve health and mood, she points out that in the female-centric world of romance, in which characters of all shapes and sizes explore and enjoy love and sex, … Continue reading Links: Outlander, Mythology, Bingo, & More!
Over the title card, a man removes the lynchpin to a carriage wheel. Spoilers, RDM. At Versailles, Jamie is playing chess with Duverney, with Claire, hand protectively on belly, watching. (Sidenote: I can think of nothing more dull than watching your partner playing chess, especially with you standing and wearing heels. While pregnant. At least get her a chair.) D asks if they’ve thought of a name for “le petit bambin” and Claire offers that … Continue reading Outlander 2.04: “La Dame Blanche”
Previously: Did you notice how we weren’t in Scotland anymore? Cuz we’re not. Title card over a chessboard and a fallen king. Claire is asleep in the early dawn, and is woken by a horse’s whinny. Out the window, she sees Jamie arriving home after a long night, yelling that he’ll be leaving in a few minutes. As he comes up to their room, he’s handed a few letters from Jared, and he tells her … Continue reading Outlander 2.03: “Useful Occupations and Deceptions”
This title is a LITTLE on the nose here, RDM. A LITTLE. The title card is Louise getting dressed. We open with Jamie and Claire mid coitus, with the captions saying “both moaning,” which is true. But then Jamie opens his eyes to see BlackJack saying “don’t stop” and Jamie pulls a knife and stabs many many many many times until BlackJack is seemingly dead and Jamie is covered in blood. BlackJack wakes up, though. … Continue reading Outlander 2.02: Not in Scotland, Anymore
NB: Due to hotel wifi delays, this recap is sadly devoid of good images. We promise to make up for it with all kinds of costume pr0n next episode! WE’RE BACK. “I wished I were dead.” Claire tells us in voiceover. She’s woken up on Craig Na Dun, staring at her hands, and her rings. She tells us that she couldn’t be dead though, because she’d made a promise. She scrabbles in her bodice, and … Continue reading Outlander 2.01: Through a Glass, Darkly
