While visiting the Cherokee, Ian encounters a man from his past who dredges up painful memories of his time with the Mohawk. Jamie meets an Indian Agent who challenges his convictions, causing him to re-evaluate.
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.
Jamie’s authority is tested when an old rival from Ardsmuir shows up to settle on the Ridge. Claire finds a new way to cope with the trauma of her assault by Lionel Brown.
We open with a lengthy recap of what has happened previous on Outlander. The best part of this was the quote from A Breath of Snow and Ashes. Great book by the way.
When Outlander returns for its sixth season on Starz beginning Sunday, March 6, fans will finally witness the aftermath of Season 5’s heinous attack on Claire (Caitriona Balfe). What happens next with her and husband Jamie (Sam Heughan) as they deal with the fallout? In a departure from the Diana Gabaldon novel, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, on which Season 6 is based, more focus will be placed on Claire’s struggles to recover and deal with what we would today label PTSD.
“When we read the books, it’s dealt with in little bits and bobs here and there, but she never really deals with it,” Outlander executive producer Maril Davis exclusively tells Parade. “And it felt like such a traumatic experience that it didn’t seem like we could ignore that, and it didn’t seem like we did justice to the character if we did. And so, we really leaned into that. I think the writers did an amazing job with coming up with this coping mechanism for Claire.”
Check out all the names of the 8 episodes of season six. There will be 12 episodes of season 6. Because of Covid and Cait’s pregnancy the rest of the season will be tacked onto season 7.
The names of 4 of the 12 8 episodes have been leaked from and official source though Starz has yet to confirm them. Here are the titles:
Meet Malva, Tom and Allan Christie! Check out the videos below…
Tom Christie will be played by Mark Lewis Jones (Gangs of London). Tom is the head of the Christie family, father to Allan and Malva. Tom was a prisoner of Ardsmuir along with Jamie. Old tensions continue when the devout Protestant brings his family to Fraser’s Ridge to settle.
