Sam Is tired of his obssesive fans.I don't blsme him It's been six years
he created that monster all by himself.
Sometimes I wonder if heās happy with where heās ended up.
Normal People is a beautiful story and the acting is exquisite. The co-stars are young and will soon become social mediaās new darlings. All I can think is āPlease donāt let fame destroy you. Please learn from the mistakes others have made. Please stay away from Hollywood.ā š©š©š©
Okay. This is getting embarrassing. Sam is being lauded for his ābraveryā in speaking out. Thereās a lot of bravery being exhibited in this world right now - by a lot of folks who are not nearly as well compensated Sam. Sitting out a pandemic in the sunshine and ocean breezes of a luxury Hawaiian rental. whining on-line about being bullied, and consequently getting your ego stroked by friends and strangers, is not really what Iād call bravery.
For the fans?
I watched the ep and cannot for the life of me understand why Sam thinks this one was āfor the fans.ā Iād give it a 1.5 star out of 4. It was a bit of a mishmash. It was too much of bit pieces crammed together with little explanation of the story lines. I just couldnāt get past some of the things the audience just has to accept. It was rushed and rotten really. There is just actually too much to critique I donāt have the care to go into everything so this is just the highlights.
One of the things I donāt get is why is everything so bright now? Do they make nuclear candles that work like overhead lights?
Of the sex scene. My hubby said āshe likes to show her breastsā speaking of Cait so it was bright enough to show something. And no we did not need a sex montage, especially Murcastaāin a stick shack no less, but they were all way too brightānot believable that a fire and a few candles could make it so brightāit just takes you out of the story.
How is Jamie a master craftsman now? Do they have access to a Home Depot for all the fancy wood trim? I just kept thinking how is that house so nice?
And why does Claire have so many patients lining up like the local ready-clinic? OTT
Now LJG? Why was he even there? It was ridiculous. Are they trying to fulfill DBās contract appearances? LJG couldāve written a letter.
Then watching Bree have this instance of PTSD and then whoops two seconds later she can just shake it off in front of Claire.
So for the fans huh, Sam? Was it is the crying breakdown bit you did when you released your Godfather from his promise? Was that supposed to make up for the Bree photographs where you couldnāt muster enough emotion to show how relieved you were to see your 20 year sacrifice of making Claire return to raise your daughter turned out? I can say it didnāt make up for it to me.
It was mediocre at best. It fell flat for me. This fan was not impressed.
Iād like to add to this. Agree with most of what you said @fanofjamesandclairefraser. I enjoyed it but to me itās still too much like a hallmark channel movie with nudity and sex. Maybe itās the lighting like you said, but thereās no atmosphere any more. Itās too sanitized and over-acted - if thatās a thing. Didnāt like Cās performance and really hated her wig. That look on her face when she smiledš¤®. Murtagh and Jocasta in bed = š¤®š¤®š¤®. Super disappointed in the house. Looks to me like they got hit up by one of those door to door discount siding salesman.
Why do you think Caitriona canāt stop taking cheap shots at Sam? Jealousy? Insecurity? Sheās just a bitch?
All that, I guess. I mean, she thinks sheās being funny. And it was funny, maybe, for about a minute, but now itās too much. She plays too much for it not to be a red flag for something. Likely itās her coping mechanism for all those feelings she had/has for him that she denies or canāt act upon. Ya know, people tend to tear down things they covet but canāt have so as to make them seem less covetous. But, who fucking knows with those two being so damn shady. As actors they are ok at it, but when it comes to talking out of both sides of your ass these two are god damn expert geniuses.
Seriously this suit is two sizes too small. And the color does him no favors. So so so bad. Iām embarrassed for him. š·
Miami Vice...back in the day...even Don wore it straighter.
He looks like this š, a walking š
The two sizes too small suits happens so often it canāt be a mistake. Is it supposed to show off his muscles? He looks like heās doing a remake of Elf.
anonymous message: when did it all go to shyte?
Anonymous said: Ā Hi.Ā Since you seem to truly be neither Shipper or Anti⦠ What so you think really went down to tank Outlander? Ā Do you think something really caused a rift behind the scene with Sam and Cait? Ā Or do you think the fact that Ron D Moore washed his hands of it around mid Season 2 was the beginning of its undoing? Ā Or simply poor production since Season 2, inexperienced writers/directors? Ā Or the possibility that Sam and Cait just stopped caring after Season 2 filming? Ā Or even that it was pure kismet that thread Season 1 together so beautifully? Ā Thnx. from @costumeperiodā and @fandumb-dumpster-fireā: Ā Ā thnx for msg, Anon. Ā now are you talking about the demise of the fandumb? Ā or the demise of the show? Ā becuz for me, those are two separate entities. Ā so letās talk about the show going to shit. Ā 1. Ā RDMās departure Ā 2. Ā shifting the focus away from Jamie & Claire over to Roger & Bree Ā 3. Ā Season 4.Ā Ā point blank, itās an abomination. Ā and iāve only reviewed the 1st two episodes. Ā and i donāt know if ā or when, iāll watch and review the remaining 11 eps? Ā but from what iāve seen in the first two eps, Season 4 iz poorly written. Ā they dumbed-down the āJamie Fraserā character. Ā Claire iz rude, hypocritical, judgmental, and not a likable person. furthermore, this show should NEVER discuss slavery⦠ ever. Ā and based on the comments, one of the biggest disappointments of Season 4 was straying too far away from the books. now as for the demise of the fandumb, itās a domino effect.Ā Ā the 1st domino to fall was Caitās engagement, and later Caitās supposed marriage has done more damage to this fandumb than ppl will ever realize. and whether ppl like it or not, believe or not, agree with it or not ā it does NOT matter, becuz hereās the truth:Ā when Cait got engaged and/or married, the fans felt used. Ā betrayed. Ā lied to. Ā let down. Ā misled. Ā deceived. Ā and gaslit. and i know Cait iz allowed to have a personal life. Ā sheās allowed to have a boyfriend. Ā and sheās certainly allowed to get married ā but ppl felt as if Sam and Cait promoted a relationship that did NOT exist just so they could promote the show.Ā Ā help themselves stay relevant.Ā Ā sell tickets to fan conventions.Ā Ā and worst of all, use the most loyal members of the fandumb like their personal slush fund to support their charities and whatnot. now with Caitās engagement and/or supposed marriage, the 2nd domino to fall was the destruction of the idea of Sam and Cait⦠ becuz when you destroy the idea of Sam and Cait ā and please know thatās an idea THEY created and THEY promoted ā so once the idea of Sam and Cait disappears, then we start losing Shippers⦠ and once we this fandumb started losing Shippersā¦Ā Ā for me, thatās when the fandumb went to shit. becuz it was mostly Shippers who were giving us episode commentary, GIF-sets, reblogs, and blah-blah-blah. Ā and we havta remember this fandumb iz a community. Ā and when ppl start moving away, the community changes. in short, losing Shippers means our community iz no longer fun. Ā itās no longer exciting. Ā and when some of the largest blogs left, thatās like closing down a major highway, or damming a major river. Ā it stops the flow of information. Ā it disconnects ppl. Ā itās also like tearing down a popular hotel, restaurant or tourist attraction⦠ the ppl who still live in this community wanna move away, and the ppl who visit donāt see a reason to stay. Ā does that make sense? and thatās just my take on the situation. Ā iām curious to see what others have to say, if they have anything to say at all.
The fandom went to shit because S and C are incapable of living their lives honestly and with the maturity one would expect from grown-ass adults. They came to view fans as a bottomless source of money and votes but couldnāt be bothered to do a live tweet or take a selfie to show their appreciation. The show went to shit because Matt Roberts and Maril Davis werenāt up to the task. The writers sucked and they lost the essence of Jaime and Claire. RDM checked out for whatever reason and my guess is the leadership at Starz had something to do with that. JMO š
Caption this
Iām going with: Room for Jesus (donāt take offense, Catholic here)
ROFLMAO. Cheshire Cat. I want to see Antonio.
@accardi1921 She tried...
Ok. Ā Not a bad photo @loveisloveislove76ā. Ā Dress not bad. Ā But will someone please get this woman a decent bra!! Ā
What is it with her a garish colors these days. The dress is hideous and the color makes it even more so. TBH Iām curious about that little dot in her pubic area. What is it?!? She tries for serious actress look and ends up looking old and boring. Snore.
I can't stop laughing at this screencap
The most pathetic tableau ever, no matter what version you pick.
Oh my god. This is pure gold.
I donāt mean to keep picking on her. I guess Iām just overly disappointed in her. After 5 years of being in the spotlight with ol, Iād expect her to at least TRY to pull off a top shelf look. Superb styling. Engaged and enthusiastic interviews. Even the old āfaking itā til sheās made it. But the outfits ALL THE TIME are borderline hideous and ill fitting, and the interview responses she gives literally say nothing at all, while managing to be so generic, they sound robotic.
I do actually mean to keep picking on her. š¤·š»āāļø
Not to be mean, mind you, only as a mirror of sorts. Granted, itās a futile mirror in regards to her personally. Rather, itās a mirror for us. Fans. Especially the ones who continue to prop her up everywhere with false praise. Honest criticism is imperative for an artist. Itās disrespectful to an actor to lie about the quality of their work. Sheās not 3 years old bringing you a finger painting for Motherās Day. Sheās 40 fucking years old. Time is not on her side. When she has a booger hanging out her nose and you tell her that her face looks flawless and she goes on confidently to perform over and over with that damn booger, you are hurting her with your ākindnessā. If she has done less that stellar work and you lie and tell her it was the best ever, you are an asshole. You are allowing her to be vulnerable to much harsher media criticism down the road.
Fashion? Who cares. Performance? Tell the truth. Role you didnāt care for? Say it. Tired of her not answering questions in interviews meaningfully? Say it. She has friends and family galore to bestow sweet squishy lies upon her.
She interviews like an empty headed insecure 20 something. Itās hard to watch. She needs to work on that pronto or all her roles will be of the long suffering support role wallpaper variety.
She pisses me off more every time I see her and I think itās because sheās so fake and plastic now. The shiny, flawless face is weird as hell. She comes across as a nervous twit in her interviews because sheās terrified weāll see beyond the fake image sheās cultivating. There was a time when she was witty, charming and very likable but those days are long gone. So yeah, I think a little criticism and reality may be exactly what she needs
Other than Marta, do we know who else posted?
I donāt see anything other than Martaās now. Iām not on Facebook so I donāt see flowers etc. I think this looks so sketchy. Sorry I keep saying that but itās weird. It looks to me these people are in town celebrating something but I donāt see anything pointing definitively to a wedding. Call me delusional, you wonāt be the first. But I need more than a sketchy church online calendar and talk of a wedding by friends. It could be another friend in the group marrying idk. I just donāt see how it could be that easy for so many to āfigureā it out. If they wanted privacy no one would have seen McGill on anything. Period. It would have been private. I feel like Iām being pranked. I canāt help the doubts. There are just too many things lining up so conveniently like #grateful 2.0 ?!?!?! š¤·š»āāļø sorry Iām gonna need more. And Iāll wait. Iāll wait. Iām looking for People to get the scoop. š But I better see Cait looking at T so lovingly, as if she doesnāt know where her next breath will come fromāsheās that much in love.
It's all staged and we've been pranked...š¤Ø
It was a really bad attempt to create the illusion of a wedding. Must have been orchestrated by the same person who photoshopped the pic of Sam holding hands.
Where is the evidence?
I have been on Tumblr for literally hours over the past two days, looking for concrete evidence that Caitriona married Tony McGill today. The only thing I have seen is a church calendar that indicates that an A. McGill reserved a church in England for a Roman Catholic wedding ceremony. No brideās name was given. Everything else I have read is pure speculation on the part of some pretty upset, disappointed, and angry fans who have made some huge assumptions about the āsituation.ā If I have missed something, please feel free to post it here on my blog. Set me straight. Fill me in. Share your evidence. Enlighten me. As I said, I have seen nothing concrete to support what many fans are posting about, as if it were a fact. Where is the evidence? š
It was all bullshit and theyāre probably laughing their asses off right now. Is this what B and C list actors do now to ramp up fan interest? I think the last laugh is ours.
The Rule of Coincidences
or
Kona wasnāt their first rodeo, kids.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Iāve seen a few posts recently that talk about coincidences as they relate to Sam and Caitās whereabouts and relationships. Ā Is it a coincidence that they both made Los Angeles their home base during the last few months of the hiatus after Sam finished his filming duties? Is it a coincidence that, after leaving LA, both ended up in NYC?Ā Is it a coincidence that they both vacationed in Kona or that the resort Cait thanked followed both of them?Ā Is it a coincidence that they posted pictures with pretty much every current and former OL costar/production team member they saw while in LA but, oops, forgot to take a picture with each other?Ā Is it a coincidence that Sam makes pancakes in Caitās kitchen on Valentineās Day or watches her run a marathon from her bedroom (and bed) with Eddie in his lap?
Ā Ā Ā Ā I was reminded of something I read a while back from Seth Abramson, who is an attorney, professor and author that I follow on twitter. Ā He posted a simple ārule of coincidencesā that he used in his criminal investigations. Obviously weāre not talking about something as serious as a criminal investigation here, but the general principle of this rule can apply to any set of coincidences, including those surrounding SC. Ā When looked at individually, some of the things weāve witnessed might be viewed as mere chance, but when these individual occurrences pile up one after the other, can they truly still be considered coincidental?Ā
Ā The rule is:
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āāāāā
Ā Ā Ā Ā 1 coincidence? Ā Yes
Ā Ā Ā Ā 2 coincidences? Ā Yes, maybe
Ā Ā Ā Ā 3 coincidences? Likely not
Ā Ā Ā Ā 4 coincidences? Ā No
āYesā means a coincidence may be just that. Ā āNoā means what you think is a coincidence isnāt.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āāāāā
Through the years, weāve amassed a plethora of āreceiptsā and observed a multitude of things that some choose to dismiss as coincidences.Ā How many?Ā Well thatās up for debate.
Sorry, Sam, you need a better source.Ā Itās way more than 4 total.Ā In fact, sometimes, even looking only at an individual event, there can be 3 or 4 coincidences surrounding it which, according to the theory above, would mean theyāre likely not coincidences at all.Ā Letās try it out on Samās trip to Big Sur in June 2016.Ā Were Sam and Cait actually there together?
The Beauty of Big Sur (June 2016)
1 coincidence (Yes): Ā After finishing their Season 2 promotion is Los Angeles, they both more or less ādisappearā for about a week.
Yes, they posted a bit on twitter (less than what would be considered normal for them at the time) and once each on IG during this period, but after June 9th for Sam and June 16th for Cait, we donāt see either again real-time until the LA Dodgers baseball game on June 22nd.Ā ( Of course, we werenāt Ā supposed to see one of them there and we most definitely werenāt supposed to see them together.)
2 coincidences (Yes, maybe):Ā Cait follows Audiās Tonya Meli in mid-June 2016. Ā Sam posts his first Audi promotion in the US (in Big Sur, CA) later that same month.
On June 14th Cait did a web interview with Gold Derby. Ā The interview was posted on twitter the next day (June 15th) by Robert Licuria.Ā He tagged Cait, who then began to follow him on twitter. Ā Her follow list also showed that, right before Robert, she followed Tonya Meli from Audi UK. At this point in time, Sam had endorsed Audi but Cait had not (and wouldnāt until January 2017) so the follow was curious.
3 coincidences (Likely not):Ā Caitās favorite vacation destination (per a 2014 interview) is the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur.Ā Sam takes his June Audi picture in Big Surā¦just a few miles from Post Ranch Inn.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/travel/sns-201409160000ātmsācelebtrvctnct-a20140916-20140916-story.html
Although Big Sur stretches for 75 miles along the California coast, Samās AudiĀ pics are taken just 4 miles from Post Ranch and 2 miles from one of Caitās favorite restaurants in Big Sur. (Deetjenās)
Closer view of that 4 mile stretch.
Views from Post Ranch Inn, looking south.
View from DeetjenāsĀ (correction:Ā This is Nepenthe), looking south.
Notice the familiar land mass jutting out into the ocean in all of these pictures? Ā Itās the same one that is in Samās Instagram pictures.
And here is the lookout spot with both that familiar land mass and the large rocks we see in his pictures.
Closeup of the narrower pull-off spot just in front of where Sam took his pictures.
SIDEBAR:
Before we move to coincidence #4, letās talk about latergrams. We know they both post them and, of course, itās a smart thing for them to do, especially in their industry.Ā I always assume that any picture posted by Sam or Cait that includes their images (unless tied to official promo events) is a latergram.
On August 3, 2016, for example, Sam posted a picture of himself thanking MPC members for that yearās campaign but didnāt reveal the location of the picture in his post.
By August 3rd, Cait had posted pictures at least insinuating that she was vacationing on the Amalfi Coast and, if memory serves, there was at least a bit of speculation that this August 3rd picture of Sam could possibly be from there.Ā
But a close look at both Samās June 27th Audi posts and this August 3rd picture reveals that they were actually taken in the same placeā¦and at the same time (likely within minutes of each other)⦠in Big Sur.
So Sam simply took off his jacket and sunglasses, rolled up his sweats and sat on one of the rocks for the MPC picture, but he didnāt post it for several weeks.Ā With that in mind, itās also likely that his Audi pics were held for a bit before posting.Ā Heās not going to want to announce his stay in Big Sur in real-time and risk fans coming in search of him.Ā (Remember that fan who, after Sam posted his picture in front of the sign in North Carolina later this same year, drove 4 hours just in the hope of finding him there?)Ā
On to coincidence #4ā¦
4 coincidences (No):Ā The person who took his pictures in Big Sur is a woman who resembles Cait.
Yes, I base this observation on a reflection (I can hear some of you groaning now.) but, as reflections go, this one is pretty clear.Ā I just adjusted the pictureās lighting a bit and then highlighted the reflection in sepia so itās easier to see.
Ā Here is just the reflection as itās further lightened/enhanced.
So we have a woman with long, dark hair and a long neck who is wearing comfy-looking clothes in her downtime.Ā Hmm, who do weā¦and Samā¦know that matches that description?
So, in summary, (1) Sam and Cait are both in California in June 2016, but their whereabouts are unknown for several days after their promotional duties end mid-month.Ā (2) For no apparent reason, Cait follows Tonya Meli just before completing her final promo interview on June 16th.Ā Sam posts an Audi pic, tagging Tonya, later that same month. We know he posts latergrams, so he likely took the picture earlier than it was posted.Ā (3) Samās Audi pic is taken in BIg Sur and just a few miles from Caitās all-time favorite vacation destination. (4) The person who took the picture is reflected on the side of the car and she resembles Cait.Ā Ā
Conclusion:Ā 4 coincidences = No coincidence.
Brilliant!!! I LIVE for this kind of scrutiny and logic. Thanks for making my day š»
You say Cait isnāt comfortable with the very explicit sex scenes from the earlier seasons yet she looked just fine acting them out early on lol. I wonder if sheās uncomfortable because they are now possibly in a relationship offscreen. Maybe she feels like itās too much of a peek into her real life? Either way they donāt need to go overly explicit to sell a good romance. Hopefully her and Sam realize that now as they tackle being producers.
Iāll tell you one thing. When I saw the love scene from The Reckoning I thought to myself: āMan, I donāt think I could do something like that with someone I am not involved withā. Mind you Iām no actor but it was so explicit that I canāt imagine feeling comfortable doing it. Given that she said Sam during the filming of it you can assume that there was something going on.
Now, would them being together make it harder in a sense? Yes, I think so but only if people know that they are together in real life and that is not their case since they are hiding their relationship (at least according to how we see it).
For the ācasual fanā they are just two actors with good chemistry so when these scenes go missing the ācasual fanā starts wondering what is going on between them. Why were they OK filming those scenes before but not now? Are they getting along? Then the same ācasual fanā realizes the biggest change happened in s4 once she was āengagedā and they start creating their own movie about it.
You know, itās her body and you gotta respect her limits. Thing is they went from flicking his tongue on her nipple to forehead sex and that is just not true to the characters. Itās a travesty. Also, when she auditioned for her role she must have known that Claire had a very healthy sex life. You would think she knew what she was getting into.
But we go back to the core of the problem. The writers donāt understand the characters. They think that getting ready for the season they are filming means reading just that one book the season is based on. How can you understand the characters if you donāt know them like the palm of your hand? Itās impossible. Also they donāt know how to write intimate moments. They just donāt.
Iām sorry for Outlander. Iām sorry for Jamie and Claire. Iām sorry for what it could have been and never will be. What a shame!
Iām sorry too, but I havenāt noticed anybody making any great effort to turn things around. The person who carries the most influence with fans is Sam and his response to anything negative is to ignore or defend. Sometimes, ignoring is the best answer but when your career and reputation are at stake I think itās a good idea to pay attention. If youāre in the business of turning your client into a star and charging a fortune for that service, you should know how to read the pulse of a fandom. Some have suggested that Starz is hoping to attract new fans through Netflix. Itās also likely that theyāre trying to create their own buzz by buying new followers on SM. It truly is sad to watch the steady decline but Iād be lying if I didnāt admit to a tiny bit of gloating and a whole lot of SMDH at the same time. Sorry to go off on your great post @loveisloveislove76 š¬ PS if this comment looks familiar itās because I added it to the wrong post the first time š. Multitasking fail.
Isnāt it funny that all this time they have been fighting for OL to be more than just the chemistry/sex between the two leads and now Maril is baiting the fans with just that. They had everything in the beginning with good acting, out of this world chemistry and good writing. Now they have none of that. I donāt trust them as far as I can throw any of them. š¤·āāļø
The answers to the survey must have been something else!! I mean, they had heard what people wanted before but I donāt think they imagined people actually taking the time to give their honest opinion about the shit product they produced last season.
There is nothing to hope for when it comes to Outlander. Just listen to what they are saying: Matt, Maril, Cait, Sam, Sophie⦠Did you get your hopes up when you heard that Sam and Cait were going to be producers? Stop it! Accept it! It aināt changing.
Because in their mind intimacy equates to nude scenes with Jamie licking Claireās nipples and Cait has made very sure we know she doesnāt feel comfortable with that, it isnāt happening. They have no writers left that know how to write the quiet, intimate moments so all we are left with is Sam acting so self conscious about where to put his mouth and his hands on the intimate scenes that it takes you completely out of it.
Because we donāt hear Claireās thoughts anymore all we are left with is scowling Cait and we have no idea why.
If Matt doesnāt understand why people were upset when Jamie didnāt even ask Claire how she was feeling after she was attacked by Bonnet or why people were upset when Claire didnāt even talk about the ring she had worn for 20 years or why people couldnāt understand that Jamie and Claire didnāt make it to Jemās birthā¦. there is no hope. No hope!

B O R I N G as fuck around this fandom. What a disgrace what this shitshow has caused. Fans used to be excited and engaged. Meh, Iām pointing fingers at mbr and maril. They could have led their little āpackā differently. Now itās so obvious that the cast only interact when THEY need something from us; usually money. Other than that, itās a big FAT adios amigos. Iām a really nice person and now I canāt stand any of them and hope the show ends earlier than they plan on.
Boring, yes. Lame, completely. And although I blame the bold and the beautiful head asses of Outlander world for a lot, I do not blame them for the fandom funk. No. Thatās on the fans. Period.
Ever hear the saying, āeverywhere you go, there you areā? Once the newness and novelty of any discovery wanes, you are left with nothing more than your same old self.
Thereās that.
Also. Thereās this.
People ruin things.
This shit got too big. This shit lost itās authenticity. This shit is Barcelona.
My recent trip was to Catalonia. Few days on the coast, few days in the woods, and two very sad soul sucking days in Barcelona. I had a certain expectation of the place due to its reputation of being, ācoolā āawesomeā, āmy favorite city in Europeā so many people said. It turned out to be crowded, dirty, and rude. Why? Tourism and greed. Cruise ships stop here. They sell fast passes at the Sagrada Familia. Not one time did a Catalonian wait on me anywhere. Iām sure at one time Barcelona was an authentic experience of a unique culture, not anyomore. People ruined it. It has been commodified for the masses. Just like they took the outlander out of Outlander, they have taken Catalonia out of Barcelona. So, yeah, itās boring, but we have only ourselves blame. They gave the fans just what they wanted. Themselves.
I have to disagree with you my darling wretched one.Ā Itās not the fans who ruined the experience, itās because everyone involved in the making of this show suck dry ice.Ā Where have you ever seen production and actors abuse their fans like these clowns have?Ā From supporting bullies, to Liking tweets abusing fans, to Blocking fans, to soliciting for money for everything and everybody under the sun, etc.Ā Plus if all of that werenāt bad enough, the scripts and acting since mid-Season 2 are just shite.Ā Nope, this is all on them.
I hope everybody involved with Outlander is asking themselves the same question - how and where did it all go so wrong when everything started out so brilliantly. Iām inclined to lay the blame squarely at the feet of the 2 leads who decided one day to fuck with fans and accuse us of being delusional and having overactive imaginations. It set the fandom on a downward course that weāve never really recovered from. That one bad decision set off a cascading avalanche of more bad decisions and really bad PR topped off with really shitty writing and direction. āļø
