That blackened day...

Mistress Fraser told us what she would have said about Malva at her funeral. I won't have a eulogy, and I don't know what sort of burial awaits me. But... I do wonder what you might have said about me.

Tom...

Please.

I would say that Thomas Christie was an honorable Scot...

a leader of men in his own way, though he didna ken quite where to lead them. Stubborn as a damned mule... but despite our differences, a man I respected and whose respect I hope I had in return.

Season 7 episode 1 ~ I life well lost.

Hi P, I know your blog focuses mostly on source info and Sam's love life but do you watch the show? I'm assuming you became part of the Outlander fandom because of the books or the show. Have you watched the first two episodes of Season 7?

I understand if you don't want to talk about that on your blog but I'm just curious if you did watch and your thoughts. I'm really pleased with this season so far.

Hi, Anon, I do watch Outlander and have read most of the books. I love the show. But I have to be in the right headspace to watch it, since it's so emotional and intense.

I used to post recaps of the episodes or just my off the cuff reactions. Here's a sample of one of my PAST posts of an episode from a previous Outlander season. 👇

As for SEASON 7, yes, I've watched the first two episodes. If you don't want SPOILERS, stop reading here.

EPISODE 1: all I gotta say is top knotch acting by everyone involved.

Cait as Claire breaks my heart every time. So exceptional.

Mark Lewis Jones as Tom Christie is such a powerhouse of subtle acting at its best.

As for Sam...I won't say Sam AS Jamie...because Sam IS Jamie. He doesn't play Jamie Fraser; he literally IS Jamie Fraser. Say what you want about Sam's other acting roles, but no one can deny he was born to play James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser and he embodies him to PERFECTION.

The last scene, where he's sitting there unblinkingly fixating his gaze on Brown and then icily deadpanning "And I'm also a violent man," I literally jumped up and started clapping. That episode was an incredible start to what looks to be an amazing season.

As for EPISODE 2, I just finished watching it. I'll summarize it in emojis:

✝️ ✝️ 😲😳😠😢 🏹 🤛🙂👶👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👵🧑‍🦲🫀💔❤️‍🩹 😊🫡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🗿🥹😢😭😭😭👏✈️💞😍😭😲😠💥😱

ALL. THE. FEELS.

I can't wait for Episode 3! Maybe I'll do a post for each episode. We'll see if I feel up to it. Thanks, Anon!

Thoughts on 701 - A Life Well Lost

The title is perfection. *chef's kiss*

Congrats on executive producer to Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan.

Skye Boat Song - This new version is going to take some getting used to. The artist has a unique style and I don't really understand the thinking. It doesn't seem relevant to the period or the story, but I'm probably missing something given Bear McCreary's general excellence and detail.

Wendigo Donner is interesting. He brings in the time travel drama. I'm glad they integrated his story with Bree and Roger in this episode. It gave them something to deal with besides the one guy calling Roger a coward and their relationship. I'm not putting down navigating marriage as viable plot. It can make for some of the best drama out there, but I'm glad Wendigo added another dimension and a vehicle for that here. Looking forward to his story line.

Roger and Bree's morality conversation was interesting on it's own merits, but it was also a neat way to reacquaint audiences with what happened in earlier seasons. Much more elegant than saying, "previously on Outlander ".

MacDonald you little shit. I wish Adso had used that coat for a litter box.

Tom's confession is an absolute highlight. Mark Lewis Jones' performance... I cannot say enough. It was subtle and genuine. It felt right for a man as proud and whose convictions run as deep as Tom Christie's.

Jamie and Ian finishing the Browns was a great surprise and a nice way to wrap up that plotline. Glad to see little changes that make sense like this. I also enjoyed Jamie this episode overall. His scenes seemed really true to character and highlighted Jamie and Claire's epic love. Their reunion aboard ship is one of those iconic book moments. I felt that in the show as well, and I think they did a great job.

All in all this episode was a really solid set up for the season that also had some memorable and gorgeous moments. I cannot wait for more. 🧡

APOSTLE (2018) Grade: C- 

Could've been better. The script was muddled with too much getting explain in a short time. A lot was happening. Wasn't a horror, more like a fantasy thriller.
