Written by: Emem Uko One of the highlights of season two for me was watching Claire and Fergus’ burgeoning relationship. A child who has never known a mother and a pregnant woman preparing to become a mother for the first time – what a beautifully unique and dynamic character duo for the book and show to…

Written by: Anne Hawkinson A home is an anchor, a place you know will always be there, whether you’re at work for the day or halfway around the world. Jamie once said, “Home is the place, where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” But he and Claire come from very…

The time is nigh, Obsessenachs. It’s what we anticipate eagerly, yet dread at the same time. It’s the agony and the ecstasy, the torture and the rapture, the alpha and the omega. The FINALE of Outlander Season 2 is just days away. The culmination of one of Diana Gabaldon’s most complicated and twisty novels that…

Written by: Anne Hawkinson Murtagh is alwaysthere. Dependable, stable, loyal. You never have to wonder, you never have to doubt. He doesn’t push to the front or seek the limelight, like Dougal has on more than one occasion. And his reward is that he gets passed over, or passed by. “Prestonpans” proved it once again….
