Outlander: 7.14 - Ye Dinna Get Used To It | Listener Feedback

Mary & Blake discuss everything YOU had say about to Outlander episode 7.14 – Ye Dinna Get Used To It.

In this episode, discuss Lord John Grey’s eye injury and the surgery performed by Claire to fix it. We also touch on the introduction of new characters like Percival Wainwright and the Marquis de Lafayette, and how they fit into the overall narrative. Brianna’s skills with a shotgun during a confrontation at Lallybroch are highlighted, as well as the growing relationship between William, Jane, and Fanny, and how it helps viewers connect more with William’s character.

Also in this episode:

The hosts express disappointment that the show has not yet included the bonus version of the theme song, speculating it may be saved for the season finale.
Blake feels bad for Sophie Skelton’s character Brianna, noting she’s had to deal with “a bunch of junk” this season compared to other characters like Roger.
We analyze the introduction of Lord John Gray’s stepbrother Percival Wainwright, discussing how the show made it challenging to track who he was and whether viewers should trust him.
Mary points out the interesting cultural context around Brianna casually mentioning having a gun, noting how that would be viewed differently in 18th century Scotland versus modern-day America.
We praise the development of the relationship between William, Jane, and Fanny, agreeing it has helped make William’s character more compelling and relatable.
Blake expresses frustration with the show’s overuse of historical figure cameos, feeling they are being shoehorned in without serving the larger narrative.
We engage in a lengthy discussion about the visceral reactions people can have to depictions of eyes and other body parts, using examples from films like Black Swan and Hostel.
Mary shares a personal anecdote about playfully teasing her male friends as a teenager by flicking their Adam’s apples, which Blake finds deeply unsettling.
We analyze how Jamie and Claire’s behavior towards Lord John Gray seems out of character, speculating it may stem from unresolved guilt or embarrassment over their past relationship.
