    Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.16 - A Hundred Thousand Angels. In this episode, we discuss a wide range of topics, starting with the shocking reveal at the end about the possible return of Claire and Jamie's deceased daughter, Faith. We debate the implications of this twist and speculate on the potential directions the story could go in season 8. We also chat the tender scene between Claire and John, Rollo, Bree and Roger, the complex relationship between Jamie, William, and Lord John, and Jamie's reluctance to fully apologize. Also in this episode: The conversation between Jamie and William about William's mother was handled delicately, with Jamie choosing his words carefully to avoid upsetting William further after the loss of his sister.The scenes involving Jane's death and William's inability to save her were powerful, highlighting the harsh realities of the time period.Lord John's comedic relief and unwavering support for William were highlights, showcasing his role as a father figure.The reveal about Faith at the end of the episode has divided fans, with some excited by the potential for magical realism, while others are concerned it may detract from the core relationships and historical elements of the show.The pregnancy reveal for Rachel and Ian's reaction to his dog Rollo's death were emotional moments that balanced the more fantastical elements.The conversation between Brianna and her biological father, Brian, was a poignant exploration of their complex relationship and the importance of family.The overall episode balanced moments of joy, sorrow, and uncertainty, setting the stage for a potentially bold and unconventional final season of Outlander.

    Outlander: 7.14 - Ye Dinna Get Used To It | Recap & Reaction
    2025/01/05
    Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.14 - Ye Dinna Get Used To It. In this episode, we praise Diana Gabaldon's handling of the writing, discuss the character development, particularly highlighting Lord John Gray's encounters and the relationship between William and Jane. We also touch on the pacing of the episode, noting that while it may have felt like "heavy lifting" to set up future events, Gabaldon executed it with levity and care. We also debate cheese and mold, share our theories and predictions about where the story might be headed, particularly in regards to the ongoing conflict with the British. Also in this episode: Praise for Diana Gabaldon's writing: this episode required a lot of "heavy lifting" to set up future plot points, but they praise Gabaldon's execution, noting she was able to do so with levity and care.Analysis of Lord John Gray's character: Lord John's encounters with various people from his past, and how this is impacting his emotional state and allegiances, comparing it to listening to "tortured poets."Appreciation for the Jane-William dynamic: the interesting relationship between Jane and William, noting how Jane serves as a foil to William's attempts to redefine himself after learning Jamie is his biological father.Speculation on Jane's fate: The hosts theorize that Jane's bold actions, such as killing a British captain, will likely lead to her demise by the season's end, and how this will profoundly impact William.Critique of the Rob Cameron storyline: boredom with this storyline, feeling it was "shoehorned in" just to get Bree back to the 18th century, and lacking a sense of urgency.Appreciation for the Ian-Rachel scene: thel ighting and character dynamics in the scene where Ian teaches Rachel how to do war paint, noting the symbolic significance of the candles behind them.Debate over historical accuracy: Claire's lack of knowledge about historical figures like Charles Lee, and speculate on how Jamie's relationship with George Washington might impact the story.Personal preferences and anecdotes: lighthearted discussion about their personal preferences, such as Blake's dislike for blue cheese and Mary's love of bangs.

    Outlander: 7.13 - Hello Goodbye | Recap & Reaction
    2025/01/01
    Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.13 - Hello Goodbye. In this episode, we discuss Rick Rankin's performance in the scenes between Roger and his long-lost father, noting the nuanced character work. We also marvel at Rachel's unexpected boldness on her wedding night to Ian, a heartwarming moment in the episode. Further, we applaud the well-paced, balanced approach that allows viewers to fully immerse themselves in character moments, such as the awkward yet tender Quaker wedding ceremony. However, we still express frustration over the lack of urgency surrounding the search for Lord John Grey, a character who has done so much for the Fraser family. Also in this episode: Newcomer Writers and Experienced Director: The episode was written by first-time Outlander writers Madeline Brestal and Evan McGahey, while the director, Jan Matthys, has an extensive background in shows like The Last Kingdom and Vikings: Valhalla.Roger's Reunion with His Father: we praise Rick Rankin's performance in the scenes between Roger and his long-lost father, noting the nuanced character work and Roger's struggle to balance his desire to reveal their connection with the need to get his father to safety.Ian and Rachel's Quaker Wedding: we find the Quaker wedding ceremony, with its awkwardness and time lapse, to be a delightful and well-executed character moment, providing insight into the Quaker tradition.Rachel's Unexpected Boldness: We marvel at Rachel's unexpected boldness and forwardness on her wedding night with Ian, noting that it provides an interesting contrast to her Quaker upbringing.Lack of Urgency Surrounding Lord John Grey: we express frustration over the lack of urgency from the characters, particularly Jamie, to find and help the injured Lord John Grey, a character who has done so much for the Fraser family.Bree's Confrontation with Rob Cameron: we praise Bree's character for standing up to Rob Cameron and the misogynistic undertones in the cops' handling of the situation, while also noting the potential consequences for her family.Production Details and Comparisons: Blake notes the outdoor shots in the episode, comparing them to the visual style of The Last Kingdom, and appreciate the use of the time travel sound effect as a consistent storytelling device.Jemmy's Memory Abilities: Mary highlights Jemmy's impressive memory skills, which are reminiscent of his grandmother Claire's, and how this contributes to the overall narrative.Missed Opportunities: Blake identifies a few missed opportunities, such as the lack of more scenes between Roger and his father and the absence of the song "Hello, Goodbye" during a relevant moment in the episode.
