<i>Outlander</i> ―“Prestonpans” Review. Bring on the Barbarians! 1

“Prestonpans” is yet another filler episode on the road to the big showdown. Outlander promises a retelling of history from Claire’s point of view, although I’m not so sure what the outcome will be now.

“The Fox’s Lair” is another look into the inner workings of thwarting a rebellion and politics of old. I can’t say I’m overwhelmed with glee by the episode but I am happy to see we’re back in Scotland.

Outlander throws a few twists and turns into this week’s venture “Untimely Resurrection.” The Frasers encounter someone from their past they would rather not see; enemies have to become allies for a cause; and royalty trumps all.

<i>Outlander</i> –“Not in Scotland Anymore” Review. That Red Dress Though… 15

Again, the storyliine in “Not in Scotland Anymore” leaves a bit to be desired as the political intrigue can be confusing. I found myself distracted by the beauty and extravagance of the costumes and locales, more so than the introduction of Prince Charles Edward Stuart and the sleazy Duke of Sandringham.
