BTS: 607 Sticks and Stones
So Arch Bug is criticizing Roger’s skill and yet clearly he has some as he’s added onto their cabin. On his own? Likely no but I challenge most anyone out there to have that skill. Arch…. don’t disrespect Roger Mac.
Inside the Episode: 606 The World Turned Upside Down
I wish we’d seen more about Jamie’s reaction to Claire’s hair. Cait says shallow but I’ve always loved that Jamie loves her hair especially because in the books it is clear Claire doesn’t love her own hair.
BTS: 606 The World Turned Upside Down
Caitriona wore three different wigs over the course of filming this episode, which conveyed the passage of time before and after her hair was chopped off by Mrs. Bug and Malva.
I’m a little disappointed we haven’t gotten to see Mrs. Bug more especially since, I believe, she’s going to come up (or is supposed to) later.
BTS: 603 Temperance
I love when we learned how they reuse props even if they are from a different time and place in the Outlander world. I’d love to see how Jamie and Claire repurpose things because you know back then it was a must.
BTS: 602 Allegiance
500 matches were made by the Prop department for Brianna to light. And with these homemade matches they almost set the set on fire!
BTS: 601 Echoes
The cast and crew didn’t want to wait even longer to begin shooting season six so they worked through the winter in the cold.
Easter Eggs In Never My Love
Outlander holds nothing back and in the season five finale they really brought their ‘A’ game when showing Claire’s disassociation while being brutalized and raped. Claire escapes inside her mind and conjures everything that would bring her comfort. In doing so Outlander gave us a dazzling array of Easter Eggs. Here are the ones I caught:
1. The Rabbit
BTS: 512 Never My Love
The episode was written linearly, but the scenes were rearranged in post-production to have Claire flash back to the past and the dream-scape.
BTS: 511 Journeycake
Love the opening title card showing Claire right before she finds Jamie and the print shop. This is a moment from the book so it was fun to see.
The book given to Ulysses is Pamela which is another nod to the books as it is one Jamie talks to Lord John about at Ardsmuir Prison.
