If we’ve learned anything from Hamilton!, it’s that Colonial America was not a cake walk. When you add in the chaos the Frasers bring pretty much everywhere they go, you know that the relative peace of Roger and Brianna’s wedding was just the calm before a big old storm. (For the record, I realize we’ve … More Outlander Superlatives: Episode 502 – Between Two Fires
Droughtlander is over, my friends, and you know what that means. It’s been over a year since Jamie, Claire, Brianna, and Roger graced our TV screens. (It’s been even longer since I’ve recapped the best of the best from each episode, but I’ve been consumed by other writing and I only have ten fingers and … More Outlander Superlatives: Episode 501 – The Fiery Cross
Just when you think Outlander can’t get any better, they go and throw in a Murtaugh. There’s a lot to unpack from Episode 405, “Savages.” Bree’s at Craigh na Dun! Jamie’s having premonitions! Roger’s beefing up on his detective skills! Claire makes a friend! Oh, no. It never ends well when Claire makes a … More Outlander Superlatives: Episode 405 – Savages
Outlander fans, we are Rollo-ing right along with season four and things are only getting better. There are cool nicknames. There are phone calls. THERE ARE BEARS! (Sort of.) We have a lot to cover this week, from hot Jamie after hot Jamie to those two crazy kids in the 20th century, so let’s jump right … More Outlander Superlatives: Episode 404 – Common Ground
THE MACKENZIES ARE HERE!!! Sorry, I’ve been waiting a while to say that. In what is already a fantastic season of Outlander, “The False Bride” is my favorite episode so far. Jamie is emotional.

And Great Scot, he is hot. In round one, he triumphed over poetic icon Dr. Yuri Zhivago. Round two saw … More March Hunkness: Our 2018 Champion of Hunks
I’m sorry, am I Marty McFly speeding back to the future in a Delorean? I could have sworn we were just in the thick of a final March Hunkness matchup between the one and only Fitzwilliam Darcy and a very dreamy Outlander hunk, but my sources tell me that was 2017. So here we are again–only this year, it’s … More March Hunkness 2018: The Final Battle
Friends, Romans, bibliophiles….. THE FINAL FOUR ARE HERE!

At the risk of repeating myself, I have to ask: Is this season of Outlander knocking it out of the shinty field or what?! I cannae even watch without crying my guts out, and the long burn of Jamie and Claire’s separation has paid off like a pot of Jacobite gold.
