Outlander

it would appear they are setting up a battle with the Boones or Browns or whoever they are

Seems to me, the Browns are all dead at this point.

Good news. Comcast has provided me with a week of free access to STARZ. I just watched Season 5, Episode 1 and will be able to watch the entire season during the next several days. I am so looking forward to it.

[JEBar]

outstanding .... hope you enjoy it .... looking forward to your impressions

[CT_Shooter]

I just finished watching Season 5. I think that binge watching it in a day or two might have more of an impact than stretching it out over a few months, though I could be wrong. It's so good that I can imagine waiting for the next episode may deliver a fully satisfied anticipation for viewers who watched it as it was released.

I can't think of another TV series that has been as good as Outlander; the good guys are really good though imperfect people; the bad guys are oh so very bad and the very worst of how people can be; and the moral lessons that are weaved throughout the story line are deep and illuminating. The photography, directing, sets, and other production values are enviable, the writing is inspired and at times profound, and the acting by the entire cast is masterful.

And, yes, the evil of the Brown family is is still alive and will return in Season 6. What a cast of despicable villains, from Randall to Bonnet to Brown!!! The series defines striking contrasts and those characters occupy the furthest, darkest end of the spectrum of good and evil, while the Frazers and MacKenzies the other.

The last overhead shot of Jamie holding Claire's bruised body was fantastic. I'm impressed.

excellent summation .... one that is dead on the money .... fans call the period between seasons Droughtlander .... a term that pretty well sums it up for us .... hopefully they will soon be able to start filming season 6

You guys have left me speechless. VERY good summation Stan. And couldn't agree more Jim!

After spending the last nine months living in seclusion, and after having binge watched more television programs and films than I've likely seen in all of the preceding 65 years of my life, I've decided to return to the first five seasons of Outlander in anticipation of the long awaited Season Six.

I am newly impressed by the script of Season One, Episode One, which so perfectly sets the table for the delicious feast that will slowly be served to the audience over the following years. This is going to be thoroughly enjoyable... again.

fans call the time between seasons "Droughtlander" .... the latest we've heard is they are due to start filming in Scotland in January .... sure hope that's the case, its been a long drought

Like waiting the next season of Better Call Saul. After a year or two I lose interest...

[markiver54]

Waiting for Yellowstone as well...what a cliff hanger that was!

[RanchRoper]

Who shot JR?

Waiting for Yellowstone as well...what a cliff hanger that was!

We watched all three seasons of Yellowstone recently and really enjoyed it. Can’t wait for season 4, that was a humdinger of a cliffhanger. Read in the paper recently that they are shooting in Montana. Quite a bit of the earlier seasons were shot in Utah. No matter, that scenery was fantastic.

Better Call Saul is another favorite but we find it kinda drags a bit. Now that the action is starting up they got shut down for Covid. Loved Breaking Bad.

I didn't notice it the first time around because I can't know what I don't yet know, which is what makes watching it a second time a treasure.

In Season 1, Episode 8 "Both Sides Now", we're introduced to a a child about 4 or 5 years old who briefly interacts with a grief stricken Prof. Frank Randall in 1945, who is struggling to understand what happened to his bride. This little child appears in subsequent seasons of the story as the adult, Roger Wakefield, who becomes Brianna Randall Fraser's husband.

Diana Gabaldon wrote the Outlander book series .... she is one heck of an author .... her story lines are filled with such twist and turns that are easy to overlook

What a wonderful talent. And just for fun, she appears on screen in the first season, episode 4 in a cameo role as Iona MacTavish, ala Alfred Hitchcock. So cool.

[markiver54]

Very interesting!!!
May have to re-watch, as you are doing Stan...thx!
