https://youtu.be/68NNrb2dZx0 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.

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.
(more…)A dysentery epidemic spreads on the Ridge, and Claire falls deathly ill. She is almost recovered when the Christies arrive and drop a bombshell. As nefarious rumors spread like wildfire on the Ridge, tragedy strikes.

Wilmington is one of the largest Outlander sets. It was extended to include The Red Falcon Inn!
(more…)My honest first reaction to this episode is it was really good and boy is it opening up a lot of interesting story-lines. There were some interesting changes and additions. Additions aren’t always bad when they are implied in the book or even talked about. Sometimes those little side notes in a book are fun to see on the screen.

Did Set Decorations and Greens really dig out and build canoes? Isn’t that going above and beyond?

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.

Temperance was great. Fergus (Cesar) and Roger (Rik) really shined in this episode. Here are some images from the episode.

Fergus worries about his new son’s quality of life when the baby is bullied by superstitious Protestants. Claire performs surgery on Tom’s hand.
This recap is exactly that… a recap of the episode so do not read it unless you want to be spoiled or have seen the episode.
Overall, fantastic episode. We have some different actors/characters really shining this week. Fergus has a scene that made me weep. Marsali’s reactions to Fergus in this episode are perfection and Roger… I have told other fans this: When you first meet Roger you kind of like him but he gets worse before he gets better.

500 matches were made by the Prop department for Brianna to light. And with these homemade matches they almost set the set on fire!

Jamie struggles with his first request as Indian Agent. Roger presides over an unusual funeral. Marsali gives birth. However, the joy is short lived when a discovery is made.
How did you all like Allegiance? I thought over all it was a good episode. It did seem a little disjointed to me but as I recap let’s see where I stand. Also, feel free to come by and rate the episode in our poll. The great thing about this episode, from a book readers perspective, is that much of the dialogue is actually from the book.

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.
