#outlander season 7 episode 1

[p-redux]

Hi P, I know your blog focuses mostly on source info and Sam's love life but do you watch the show? I'm assuming you became part of the Outlander fandom because of the books or the show. Have you watched the first two episodes of Season 7?

I understand if you don't want to talk about that on your blog but I'm just curious if you did watch and your thoughts. I'm really pleased with this season so far.

Hi, Anon, I do watch Outlander and have read most of the books. I love the show. But I have to be in the right headspace to watch it, since it's so emotional and intense.

I used to post recaps of the episodes or just my off the cuff reactions. Here's a sample of one of my PAST posts of an episode from a previous Outlander season. 👇

As for SEASON 7, yes, I've watched the first two episodes. If you don't want SPOILERS, stop reading here.

____________

____________

EPISODE 1: all I gotta say is top knotch acting by everyone involved.

Cait as Claire breaks my heart every time. So exceptional.

Mark Lewis Jones as Tom Christie is such a powerhouse of subtle acting at its best.

As for Sam...I won't say Sam AS Jamie...because Sam IS Jamie. He doesn't play Jamie Fraser; he literally IS Jamie Fraser. Say what you want about Sam's other acting roles, but no one can deny he was born to play James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser and he embodies him to PERFECTION.

The last scene, where he's sitting there unblinkingly fixating his gaze on Brown and then icily deadpanning "And I'm also a violent man," I literally jumped up and started clapping. That episode was an incredible start to what looks to be an amazing season.

As for EPISODE 2, I just finished watching it. I'll summarize it in emojis:

✝️ ✝️ 😲😳😠😢 🏹 🤛🙂👶👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👵🧑‍🦲🫀💔❤️‍🩹 😊🫡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🗿🥹😢😭😭😭👏✈️💞😍😭😲😠💥😱

ALL. THE. FEELS.

I can't wait for Episode 3! Maybe I'll do a post for each episode. We'll see if I feel up to it. Thanks, Anon!

Claire: If I had a nickel for every time I was dragged onto a ship I didn't want to be on to be a healer, I would have two nickels, which is not a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

Bless the youtube algorithm for one day just throwing me a short of this scene that made me go from "oh yeah, Outlander, I've heard of this, timetravel, right? maybe I'll give it a go some day" to "Oh. Oh" ao3 style, to "YES. YES I'LL HAVE YOU" then proceed binging all 7 seasons (taking a break after episode 15 and 16 of season 1 to regret my life choices💀😂)

I finally did it. I streamed all 6 episodes of Outlander season 7. I’m not saying I was disappointed but…

First of all I immediately re-watched episode 1. And I’ll tell you why. Streaming 5 seasons of Outlander while reading or listening to all 9 books has made it difficult to separate the book from the show. Like many I discovered Outlander during Covid and was immediately addicted. I started reading the books but found I would get impatient and speed read throughout the book looking for Jamie and Claire. When I started listening to the audio versions it was a completely different experience. Also a humbling one as I started losing count of all the words I had mispronounced, and context I missed speed reading through each book. Naturally I started to notice where the series stayed true to the books and when it didn’t. I’ll use book and season 1 as an example. I watched the series first then read/ listened to Outlander and very slowly book JF and CF became series JF/SH and CF/CB. For those who haven’t spent 40 hours or so listening to each book, take it from me, you get things mixed up.

Fast forward to Season 7. Remember book 9 was released during the long drought so I was already decades ahead of where the season started. Plus I already had favourite scenes I was looking forward to watching. The reason I felt I had to immediately rewatch ep 1 was because I felt they tried to tie up too many story lines in an hour. It felt rushed to me because I was comparing it to the book and parts that were changed or not addressed. Fortunately by episode 6, all was well in Outlander land.

A few points:

For the first time I really enjoyed watching SS as Briana, especially during her scene with JF/SH by the stones

I thought the casting of Rachel and Denzel Hunter were very close to the book version

Casting CV as WR was perfection. At times I could really see a strong resemblance to SH. The scene where Rachel shaves William, in the light, his profile, jawline and clear blue eyes are so close to the book version but also SH as JF. Even off camera based on sm the way they are athletic, extreme sports, love of music, build etc. Totally believe they could be father and son. By music I mean CV can and SH wants to play😉

That said I can’t believe we have to wait to see the father/son reunion. I don’t believe that they have even done any press together

I wish my hair could grow as fast and long and lovely as CF. CB just gets better with every season. She just never ages. Perfection as CF. Love that WR referred to her as a curly wig general!

With so many stories, timelines, time travel and new characters JF sort of becomes a supporting cast member at times. The screen time with JF/CF is great to see but not given the time to let us enjoy the magic of previous seasons. But the love is still there.

Finally SH as JF. I was a bit teary watching the scenes at the stones and I’ll miss young Jemmy. Again I really want to see father and son together. As for his acting, SH has become JF. I know we joke about his 5 acting things, but even in limited scenes with no dialogue his performance is powerful.

Now if I could just sit back and enjoy the rest of the season without trying to compare it to the book, look for clues as to the future of J &C and what that blasted last page of book ten will reveal. Until then, thank fuck for great pizza, wine and twizzlers. And of course the amazing gals that put up with me in my small corner of the fandom😉

Suspiciously so.

Your fav 3 episodes from Outlander ?

The order has changed over time, but the top three have remained the same since the first time I watched.

Runners up: 608 - I Am Not Alone. 213 - Dragonfly in Amber. 101 - Sassenach. 202 - Not in Scotland Anymore. 512 - Never My Love.

3. 109 - The Reckoning - It's got the best of everything: fights, fury, affection, love, and sex. The hair-pulling kiss is the best kiss that's ever graced a television screen.

2. 107 - The Wedding - Beautifully done. We were rooting for them before that ep, but we fell in love with them as the episode progressed in a much deeper, more meaningful manner. Perfect television.

1. 306 - A. Malcolm - The best hour+ of television ever filmed. It's genuinely the definitive high point of all 7 seasons for me. The agony of their decades apart put so much on the line, and then we actually got PAY OFF for our suffering. I'm not an angst whore for the sake of wallowing in pain. I endure angst for the sake of the rush of long-term fulfillment. A. Malcolm had so much riding on it, and it was executed beautifully. The build up & the fulfillment. I'll never forget the way I felt the first time watching. I dream of the day media can make me feel this way again.

Currently Reading - November 2023

Gosh, it's been a little while since I did one of these!

The Year of Peril: America in 1942 - Tracey Campbell . Found this one at the library booksale just after I finished the 1942 podcast series. The book is excellent so far and really flipping some interesting issues over.

Just Finished Reading:

Millions Like Us: Women's Lives during the Second World War by Virgina Nicolson - This was excellent and I strongly recommend it. I got a lot of inspiration for the end of TDS in it and there's a lot of material that I think will come in handy for MOTA.

Sisters in Arms: British Army Nurses Tell Their Story, by Nicola Tyrer - Another super excellent book that filled in a serious knowledge gap I had about British nursing. Might come in handy for future SAS:RH productions.

An Unladylike Profession: American Women War Correspondents in World War I by Chris Dubbs - This was an impulse purchase on thriftbooks and was very interesting.

The Call of the Wrens, by Jenni Walsh. Fiction. Glad this was only a library book - it was just okay. I'm not a big fan of time jumps as a narrative device - it feels thin.

Cassiel's Servant, by Jacqueline Carey. Fiction. It was really fun to go back to Terre D'Ange for this one, and interesting to see Joscelin's side of things. Realized Joscelin may be why/how I write Dick the way I do.

Ashes under water : the SS Eastland and the shipwreck that shook America, by Michael McCarthy. This was a book club pick that I ended up not being able to join discussion on. A really interesting story, if you're into maritime disasters.

Prisoners of the castle : an epic story of survival and escape from Colditz, the Nazis' fortress prison, by Ben Macintyre. This was on the shelf at the library and I was reading mostly for mentions of David Stirling. Still - very interesting, especially when paired with...

Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: The Mavericks Who Plotted Hitler's Defeat, by Giles Milton. This book was fascinating. A lot of backstory behind the stuff that made the war work.

The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot. A book club pick that I'm really glad I read.

Just Finished Watching:

Our Miracle Years (Unsere wunderbaren Jahre, Das Erste/PBS) - follows the life of one family in the post-war period. Some good food for thought here.

A Place to Call Home, Season 1 (Foxtel/ Hoopla) - More post-war, this time in Australia, which I started just as something to watch and am now very embroiled in. (Fair warning, this show contains conversation therapy, a miscarriage, and antisemitism, and may probably be triggering for some.)

World On Fire, Season 2 (BBC/PBS) - I came, I brought my Passport subscription, I tried...and after all six episodes I still don't like this show. I don't feel like we spend enough time with any of the characters to really appreciate them. It feels like everyone's there to make a point.

Outlander Season 7 (STARZ) - This was just fun. I'm not a huge fan of the books, but the TV series is really enjoyable for me.

Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951) - This has been on my list for a while and it popped up recently on Hoopla. I like Peck's nervousness in the role.

Dalgliesh, Season 2 (Acorn/Hoopla) - Bertie Carvel continues to do great in this role. I kind of wish there was a crossover involving him and Morse.

To Walk Invisible (BBC/ PBS)- It was really fun to watch this back to back with Emily.

Emily (2022) - Getting two mostly recent takes on the Bronte sisters so close together was really interesting.

Farewell My Queen (2012) - watched this while on vacation in Williamsburg. A nice 18th century drama.

[girlwithamissingpearl]

Does sharing negative reviews about the movie and Sam from reputable film critics make me a Sam hater? I plan to see the movie some day, I don’t expect much from it, but I like corny movies sometimes so who knows. But honestly, the clips I’ve seen from Sam in this movie make me cringe… for him. I wish he was better, because I like him as Jamie, especially in earlier seasons, but in everything else he’s just 😬.

I’m not sure where you think I have a problem with any criticism or discussion of anyone’s performance let alone SH’s. Love Again may not have been his best performance but he was part of a cast. As a whole I enjoyed the movie and left the theatre happy. Others who saw the movie may have seen things differently. But in all honesty how can anyone rate it 1 star? CD’s performance and soundtrack deserve more consideration in my opinion. Again CD’s music may not be your thing but CD definitely did CD. What were people expecting? My issue has always been the corner of this fandom that predicted, trolled and revelled in what they perceived was a huge failure for SH. Then for fun they go after his fans. I’ve never seen such self congratulatory, bullseye emoji posting people who to me not only wish for but seem to celebrate every negative and mean spirited SH related mention. And again please anyone explain to me why a person would spend hours and hours trolling an Outlander/SH fandom if you clearly hate SH? By the way anyone who wants to discuss SH as JF past and in the soon to be released season 7 is always welcome. I hope you will come back with your take on the first episodes .
