Out of Faith: Fan uproar over an extended scene

So, a clandestine un-aired extended version of Season 2 EP. 7 “Faith”, written by Toni Graphia was released into the fandom ahead of the DVD release.

The Fraser Coat: One Key to Turning Jamie into the King of Men

Written by: Anne Hawkinson A coat is defined as “an outer garment worn outdoors, having sleeves and typically extending below the hips.” It’s something you wear to protect yourself from the elements and – hopefully – look good while doing it. When Jamie puts on his father’s coat, however, a transformation occurs – more than just…

Forget-me-not: Outlander’s Powerful Use of Flowers to Tell Stories

Written by: Anne Hawkinson It’s summer, the heat index is unapologetic, and we’re in the very real throes of Droughtlander. What’s an Outlander-obsessed gal to do but hibernate indoors and commit to re-watching every episode. . . again? I just hope my DVDs don’t melt in the player from overuse.

Murtagh’s Slow Burn to Vengeance

Written by: Anne Hawkinson The Duke of Sandringham started it – and Murtagh finished it.

The War Chieftain and Claire

Written by: Anne Hawkinson I’m still trying to figure out what made Dougal MacKenzie “tick” in his relationship with Claire. I’ve had my eye on him since that night in the cottage (Season One).

What About Murtagh?

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….

Laoghaire’s “Pious” Persistence

Written by: Anne Hawkinson Wow. I thought I’d seen the last of Laoghaire, that trouble-making, scheming, two-faced —–. Good riddance, and all that. You get my drift. Yet, here she is, in “The Fox’s Lair,” at Castle Beaufort, the home of Jami e’s grandfather, Lord Simon Lovat. How did she manage to get this gig…

Claire and the Great Blue Heron

Written by: Anne Hawkinson A Great Blue Heron appears on the page of a library book and soars in the sky as Episode Seven, “Faith” opens. It had to be more than just a pretty image to fill a space in time, so I searched for characteristics of both the soaring bird and Claire’s earth-bound…
