Who is worse? Stephen Bonnett or Black Jack.
Who is worse? Stephen Bonnett or Black Jack.
It's been ages since I read the books so while I remember the name Stephen Bonnett, I can't remember how evil he was. I guess I'll find out when I finally get caught up with the series.
I stopped reading around book 6 or so, but I always loved them. Life got in the way, I read fewer books, and they're really long, plus there was a big wait time. I've decided to read all of the Outlander books once more once the series is complete.
I enjoy the show. Just started season 2. Though, that one episode in the first season possibly killed me somewhat. I knew it was coming, of course, and I'd warned my other half...still, it made me swallow a good few times.

I skipped that episode but now I know I have to watch it.
I didn't watch yesterday's episode. They go so fast, it seems like I barely turn on the TV when the episode ends. I'll watch it today, though. I can only wait so long.
OoooooohhhhhhKKKKKKKaaaaaaayyyyyyy ...
I'm here from TOP. Glad to see some folks (Maggie Ann) are watching.
My current thought #2:
HOLY MOLY ... they are packing SO MUCH into each episode!!!! Episode 4 ...
Current thought #1 (saved from a few days ago):
When he doesn't have strife to deal with, Jamie seems a bit too schmarmy to me this season ...
I cannot wait to watch these episodes, I am behind for now though. I am in the final stretches of moving and its like killing me. :help
I'll have to get starz from the amazon prime channel store once i am moved as I am cutting the cord and won't have regular cable at the new place anymore. So I'll join back in a bit later on. Probably like 2-3 more episodes in. Then I'll sit down with a old bottle of wine in my new home and binge watch this sucker. :dance:
I haven't watched this week's yet either. Work is crazy & I'm trying to get ready for family guests.
for now I have cable, TIVO & the STARZ station, so, I'll be catching up soon!

It's that time of year. I've been busy with the holidays but I couldn't sleep last night and I wound up watching it in the wee hours on my Fire tablet.
I have to say in the books I absolutely did not like Lord John especially at Ardsmuir. It was his superior, entitled attitude, I think, even though he tried to do the right thing by paroling Jamie to Helwater. But in the show, I'm really drawn to him. David Berry's performance has absolutely humanized him for me.
I'm so glad they brought Murtagh back. I didn't think they captured him in the first two seasons but now they have. Before, he sort of blended in with all the other dour, bearded Scots and was definitely not a "wee canty bird." Okay, so he really wasn't in the books, either. Now, he's distinctive with a personality and story line all his own.
One thing that puzzled me in the book and they've brought it into the series,
All in all, an excellent episode.
Haven't quite finished the latest episode, but I don't mind spoilers, so I peeked.
I AGREE...I AGREE...I AGREE...I AGREE...I AGREE...

The actress that played Jenny wasn't available so I guess they substituted Laoghaire for Jenny.
Do you watch the segment after the show where they discuss why they did what they did?
The first official Fraser family portrait. Jamie, Claire, Brianna. :heart:AWESOME!!!

...I certainly agree that what they've chosen to do, they've done really, really well. Yes, there have been some disappointments, but also some additions that have really added to the story. ...Yep, Yep, and Yep
Agreed about Lizzie but I think you won't be as disappointed when you see her in The Birds and the Bees toward the end of the episode.
Speleers is outstanding. He's so casually horrible.
They are all so good. Sophie Skelton finally won me over. CB is still not my idea of Claire, but she's so unbelievably good that I don't care anymore. You know I didn't care all that much for DoA, but the people behind the scenes, not to mention the actors, have redeemed it for me. They've brought these wonderful characters to life and surrounded them with beautiful scenery and wonderful sets and a great story.
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I did not like Lord John in the books. Too stuffy and uptight. But David Berry's portrayal of John has completely won me over. Yes, he's still very much the Lord, but there's also a humanity and vulnerability about him that didn't come out on the page.I actually did like Lord John and I think David Berry is portraying him just as I envisioned him. He's great!
...
So much happened in this episode but they kept it moving, going back and forth between all those scenes. Just about everyone seemed to be in this one.
...
Another excellent episode with an explosive ending.

True so much in this episode & everything was well done to move the story along.
ONLY TWO MORE EPISODES ... THEN DROUGHTLANDER AGAIN ... THAT IS A TRAGEDY!!!!
:rant
The show has deviated from the books so drastically, (and for no reason), that it's starting to look like fan-fiction. Zombie Murtagh was frustrating, but now, they've changed Roger's character and personality. One more show...we'll see how they deal with Ian, but I might be done. So sad, season one was amazing.
I don't think Roger would ever think of putting himself first...which makes all of those scenes with Alexandre, the priest, off-putting.
After last week's next-to-last episode, I'm trying skim the end of Drums of Autumn; I cannot imagine how in the world they will pull together the rest of what is supposed to happen in one episode.
I'm very very curious!
...
and I'm really annoyed that this forum won't notify me by email that there are new posts to this thread. I will notify me of the very next post if I have posted something; but then I get no more notifications and have to remember to come here to check whether anyone else has posted new items to this thread !!! :rant
Ooooohhhh .... that zipping thought holds much promise. That could work.

Okay, you made me look.
They won't start filming Season 5 until next month but there will only be 12 episodes so 8-9 months filming time. They're looking at Winter 2020, so the air date will probably be a year from now.

I guess there's no rush to read book 5 again. Piffle. :rant
Very interesting article

And on this ... I shall wait for a price decline. I've got all of the episodes Tivo'd, so I can wait for it to come down in price:
‘Outlander’ Season Four Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Available for Pre-Order (http://www.outlandertvnews.com/2019/01/outlander-season-four-collectors-edition-blu-ray-available-for-pre-order/)

Pricey to say the least.
I only have Season 1 because I wanted a streaming copy, not a DVD. Since then, they haven't offered it in that format since. I think it's because I subscribed to Starz after season 1 and I can watch any of the episodes any time I want.

I have bought the video versions of all seasons as "Blu-Ray" discs that had a digital copy code. That way, I have the actual discs, but I also used the digital code to upload to Vudu & can watch any movie I've uploaded there wherever I am. That's the way I buy all my videos now. The digital copy doesn't have all the extras, nor do the regular DVD version discs. So you have to buy the Blu-ray version to get the extras & I don't think buying the version with the digital copy costs much (if any)more than the blu-ray without the digital copy. Vudu works with my Tivo & on my gadgets, plus in a web browser.
And here's a great article (Has Spoilers!!!)
