Outlander Season 7 has begun filming

It’s official. Season 7 has begun filming. I’m thinking that means a much smaller droughtlander. Thank goodness.

I’ve heard fans worrying about Outlander not getting an eighth season but I’m not that concerned. We can’t really reference the live viewer ratings as that is all they are and how many of you stream? Streamers aren’t contributing to that number and we aren’t privy to the streaming numbers.

Is Jamie and Lord John’s Friendship over… Diana interview with Parade

Save for the visits to the Cherokee and Mohawk villages, the majority of Outlander Season 6 has played out on Fraser’s Ridge—but in episode 5, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe) head to Wilmington to hear Flora MacDonald (Shauna Macdonald), former Jacobite now a Loyalist, speak.

Outlander’s Andrew Gower Returns to the Role of Bonnie Prince Charlie

A familiar face returns to Outlander tonight, but you might not immediately recognize him. In the opening scenes of this evening’s episode, actor Andrew Gower reprises his role of Bonnie Prince Charlie in a flashback, showing how he escaped to the Isle of Skye, with the help of Flora MacDonald—and a clever disguise. The scene, while hard to believe, is straight out of a history book. Indeed, MacDonald helped the Young Pretender (aka Charles Edward Stuart) escape to Skye by dressing him as her servant in women’s clothes.

Trail of Tears

“Some sixty years from this time, yer people will be taken from their lands, from the bones of their ancestors, and removed to a new place, far from here. Many will die on this journey, so that the path they tread will be called… the trail where they wept.”

Did Jamie change anything? With the knowledge does Chief Bird pass the information down making his tribe the 800 who were not removed during the Trail of Tears?

Recap: 603 Temperance

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.

Boston Tea Party

Major MacDonald arrives with the guns for the Cherokee and news of the Boston Tea Party. It is beginning.

The Boston Tea Party was an American political and mercantile protest on December 16, 1773 by the Sons of Liberty in Boston in colonial Massachusetts. The target was the Tea Act of May 10, 1773, which allowed the British East India Company to sell tea from China in American colonies without paying taxes apart from those imposed by the Townshend Acts. The Sons of Liberty strongly opposed the taxes in the Townshend Act as a violation of their rights. In response, the Sons of Liberty, some disguised as Indigenous Americans, destroyed an entire shipment of tea sent by the East India Company. The demonstrators boarded the ships and threw the chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. The British government considered the protest an act of treason and responded harshly. The episode escalated into the American Revolution, becoming an iconic event of American history. Since then other political protests such as the Tea Party movement have referred to themselves as historical successors to the Boston protest of 1773.

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.
