“Give her the child; it’s always better if they see. Then they don’t imagine things.” So I didn’t imagine. I remembered. (Dragonfly in Amber, ch. 28) I would not say that I enjoyed watching Episode 207, “Faith.” However, it is together with Episode 206 the best of the season. In fact, it is an Emmy-worthy […]

I guess the title of my post summarizes my feelings in regards to Outlander’s Episode 202, “Not in Scotland Anymore.” There are changes from the books, but the essence and the plotline remain the same.

I enjoyed watching the deviations from Dragonfly in Amber in Episode 201, “Through a Looking Glass, Darkly.” It is different, but the essence is the same. Frank loves Claire, and he is looking forward to starting a new life again with her. Of course, this process takes longer in the books. However, for adaptation purposes, […]
