I don’t know that Gabaldon spends so much time on the ex-pat community to justify it being North Carolina.

I’d give it a B+ myself.

There are stories to be told about Revolutionary America that don’t have to exoticize Native Americans or plunk your main characters on a slave plantation.

I definitely thought that the showrunners wanted to show us that Jocasta was deceiving herself and complicit in the wrongs of the slavery system even while she might have had some good intentions. She states how she believes that treating the slaves well and letting them keep their kids is important, and where would…

I am so puzzled by people saying they think she was portrayed sympathetically. when Jocasta said she thinks the slaves are her friends you could feel Claire’s skin crawl. We the audience are meant to identify with Claire and feel absolutely horrified by the subjugation around her that she is unable to stop. 

Wow it’s like we watched two entirely different episodes. I watched a story of powerlessness and grief in the face of white supremacy. Even the landowner, Jocasta, was still a disabled white widow who was considered less powerful then the men around her, as shown early on by the British military soldier who tries to…

I really didn’t get that at all. I was grimacing and cringing at everything Jocasta said - much like Claire demonstrably was - because it’s gross and such an oft-parroted ignorance. But it’s not wrong for the time period or the show or the people on screen. And Claire did her usual Claire thing of speaking up and…

Please, please, please forgive me for sticking my neb in here, but I do so on behalf of the actors. I find it very hard to say anything definitive about their performances, because I worked in a film editing department for a year. In the last analysis, every single performance in "Outlander" goes through a powerful,…

I just had a chance to watch this episode. I so agree with all the others who have mentioned what a fabulous actor Tobias is. And frankly, no pun intended, I do think he is far more appealing than Sam. Sam is a pretty boy and Tobias is just very masculine in a 'regular guy' kind of way.

I don't mind that the reviewer is negative (when analysing Moore's work there's much to criticise, unfortunately) but I do find this reviewer's conclusions to be either wrong or underwhelming. Better to focus on explanation rather than interpretation.

I skim rather than read the reviews for just that reason.

That's one reason I'm not going to terribly miss these reviews.

He played Brutus as conflicted so well.

I've noticed that the reviewer often ignores things to stick to their own idea of what's happening.

I won't miss these reviews, I would have stopped reading them anyway after this season, because of too many weird interpretations of the show. I disagree about comments about the acting too.

I first noticed him in Rome. I had no idea who he was and when he was introduced as Brutus, I just sort of booed because, well,Brutus. Within a few episodes, he had completely won me over and was one of my favorite characters. After that, I always kept an eye out for him. I also love his interviews. He's such an…

It's a shame Moore expects us to believe that BJR is inexplicably evil.
As modern pschology would have it, something diabolical must have
happened to him for him to have turned out that way. It seems
incongruous that BJR would have true love for his brother - sadists tend
to be equally opportunistically sadistic -…

Menzies really is one of the most magnetic actors I've ever watched.

I don't care about the review, necessarily, especially because that particular reviewer isn't one of my favorites. I'm in it for the comments so maybe we can lure some people over there to talk about it.

No more "Outlander" reviews following this season? What a darn, darn shame.
