Better Late Than Never!

Soooo, I finally got around to watching the last episode of Outlander--and I liked it! I know some people didn’t, so I was expecting it to not be that great, but I had no problems with it. Here are my off the cuff initial impressions:

1. Sophie--damn, girl is killing it this season as Bree. It’s obvious she got some acting coaching and dialect coaching and it has PAID off. She OWNED this episode, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her every time she was on screen. And she held her own against the one and only acting tour de force, one fine, Mr. Tobias Menzies. Kudos!

2. I had NO problem with the Bree at Leghair’s house storyline, and I thought the juxtaposition of Leghair being so sweet and welcoming to Bree at first, but then turning into the “even at 50 she’ll be a lassie” that we all knew was still there was a great dramatic touch. I love watching Nell’s eyes bug out when she gets mad, and especially when she refers to Claire as a “wetch,” and “whoor.” Makes me giggle hard, hahaha.

3. THAT juxtaposition nicely mirrored the same good cop/bad cop act we saw from Bonnett. He uses his good looks, faux charm to reel people in and let their guards down (soothing the crying baby with a finger tip of whisky for example. On the surface it lulls people into thinking he’s kind, but in reality it was all self-serving. He doesn’t want an inconsolable bairn on board annoying him) and then BOOM, “surprise, folks, I’m really an evil arsehole!” when he threw the girl over board and when he gave Roger an impossible choice. It made the rest of his nefarious behavior have even more of an impact, both for the characters dealing with him, but also for the audience watching.

4. Back to my Tobs for a second. TBH, I didn’t really pay attention to any of his plot line with Bree because I was mesmerized by THAT voice, as per usual. All I did during his scenes is stare at his dry lips (the sexiest dry lips evah) and listened to him TALK. The words were irrelevant. Just keep talking, Tobs, yeah that’s it, right there, don’t stop. *dreamy sigh* I need to go change my panties now. :-) 

5. Anyhoo, where was I? Oh that's right, back to my rambling review...I was disappointed Jenny wasn’t part of the episode, but I thought Ian meeting Bree instead was almost as satisfying. I got a wee misty eyed, tbh. I was fine with it, and didn’t feel let down, the way I did when the Jamie seeing pictures of Bree for the first time was so royally screwed up. And I loved how he let her know that she was a Fraser through and through and that Jamie would be excited to meet her. Oh, and surprisingly, I didn’t miss Jamie and Claire in this episode. The episode held my attention the whole time without them in it.

6. Okay, so I need a few paragraphs for my thoughts on Roger...and the crimes against humanity that the Outlander costume and hair department have committed on him, and by extension on Rik Rankin. I know this topic is polarizing. There is a big portion of Roger/Rik fans who are INCENSED by the way Roger is being portrayed on the show. And then there are people who don’t really have a problem with how different show Roger is from book Roger. Well, after this episode, I’m firmly in the former category. 

Let me start by saying, WTF were they thinking putting those ridiculous culottes on him? Those look like what a teen boy would wear who grew a foot over the summer, and his mommy didn’t buy him new clothes and he had to go to the first day of school wearing flooders, looking like a dope. There are not enough words to describe my hate of those culottes. Bad, so bad. 

Then we go up past the culottes to the layers and layers and layers of vests, sweaters, coats, and who knows what else they’ve piled on him, succeeding in making him look like a lumpy gnome. Roger Mackenzie is not a gnome! So then we get the “We are being historically accurate” arguments. Weeellll, Jamie Fraser is dressed historically accurately and he looks FINE AS FUCK. So, obviously you can choose historically accurate costumes that make your subject look like the kind of character who will carry you into his log cabin, lay you down by a roaring fire, pour you a “wee dram” and whisper “To bed or to sleep?” OR you can have him be the kind of historically accurate who looks like the Michelin man, and he wouldn’t even whisper sweet nothings to you in French, FFS. 

It’s a CHOICE someone made *I’m side eyeing YOU, Terry D., despite under the bus throwing of colleagues that occurred on Twitter* And this CHOICE is going to be distracting as hell for the rest of the season. So, let’s hope in Season 5 someone figures out Roger’s hair needs to look more like the Bee Gees circa 1970 and not the abomination we have this season. AND his clothes need to look like the sexy professor who wears tweed blazers, and slim corduroy slacks and eye fucks you the whole semester, but you don’t actually fuck until AFTER you pass his class, and he happens to call you “now that you’re no longer my student, lass” and you meet for coffee to discuss the “symbolism” in Burns works and then, well yeah, then you go back to his flat to look at his “etchings.” *ahem* Not that I would have any first hand experience of anything resembling that. *whistles innocently* But, I digress. You get my point. Roger needs to be HOT. Goddammit. Hot and smart. Hot and smart can, and do go together. I repeat, HOT AND SMART. This Pillsbury Dough situation needs to be remedied and STAT. 

Okay, I’m out of breath, gotta go finish Christmas shopping, and wrapping,and sadly I won’t be able to watch tonight’s episode early due to holiday festivities, but I CANNOT WAIT!

So great. The scene between Bree and Laoghaire is going to be phenomenal. #Repost @poppytop53 with @get_repost ・・・ Looks like they've buried the hatchet 😉 - Sophie Skelton and Nell Hudson heading off to lunch together on set at Culross Palace in Fife today 😍 #Culrosspalace #outlander #season4 #sophieskelton #nellhudson @visitscotland @welcometofife @outlanderfilming

#Repost from @mariadoylekennedy . On a plane over an Ocean with all the thoughts and memories from the weekend floating around me. We talked a lot in different groups about what the Convention experience is these last few days, but something I forgot to say was how lovely it was to get to hang out with this bunch of beanbags. It’s something we don’t always get the chance to do as we work on different days/scenes or even Seasons.... (this weekend was my first time to meet @nell.hudson and #GaryLewis and I am completely mad about both of them) so thanks for that and many other kindnesses #Gina and all at @sasnakcity . 👍🏽😊😘 . #Outlander #MariaDoyleKennedy #ColinMcFarlane #CesarDomboy #NellHudson #Davidberry #TimDownie #GaryLewis #GrahamMcTavish #KyleRees https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LZ9e4IHKU/?igshid=1bw89jxcd96m5
