Blacklanderz®Convos!
Outlander S7 Epi5 – Singapore
Written by Taylor Mallory | Directed by Tracey Deer
This conversation is between Blacklanderz® Amanda, Gwen and Caty. Arranged and edited by Vida.
G: In the opening we see a glimpse of Ian with his Mohawk wife. I wonder if we will get an update on her in this episode.
C: Yes! Quite possibly Gwen…I like the flashbacks.
A: The goats are cute, but this image doesn’t remind me of Singapore at all. I believe the title is a historical reference to another battle in history. I’m not sure how this is going to relate to this story.
G: I’m wondering about that too. The goats do remind me of the lovely seasons past in Scotland.
C: I am getting nothing from the title card but cute goats nonetheless! :)
A: I don’t think Jem and Mandy should be playing in there. It doesn’t look safe.
G: Same. I wonder who all are buried there? I wonder who is buried under that large tombstone? Jamie’s parents? I also love that Jem has such a close relationship with his Grandda.
C: It’s lovely that Jem and Mandy haven’t forgotten about their grandparents.
A: The letters are about a year apart so a lot likely happened to Claire and Jamie in the meantime.
G: I sympathize with Bree. It’s one thing to go 200 years in the future, but it would be another to know when your parents die. I’m so glad Jamie and Claire wrote the letters for them.
C: I would have wanted to know what happened to Claire and Jamie. I don’t have that restraint.
[V: Me either, Caty.]
[Roger] June 18, 1777. Fort Ticonderoga.
[Bree.] What on Earth are they doing there?
Dear Bree,
As you’ve doubtless gather from the heading of this letter,
we are not yet in Scotland.
Your father was conscripted into service with the Continental Army. We’ve been stationed at Fort Ticonderoga for the past few weeks.
A: Hauling logs seems boring but at least Jamie isn’t in immediate danger.
Jamie commands a crew of men we met on the ship over
who call themselves ‘Fraser’s Irregulators’.
G: Jamie is doing what he can to stay active and in shape. But I can tell he is itching to be in charge again. So now we have the opening with goats on the hill and Jamie staring off at the mountain across the water. I wonder if the two are related somehow. As a side note, another instance where Frank took Bree to Fort Ticonderoga.
As you can imagine, your father likes that.
It’s not the first time I thought that Frank found Jamie and Claire in history and took Bree places so she would be aware of what was going on.
They’re building defenses to help protect the fort in case of an attack.
C: Claire is in her element again.
She gets to be where she feels the most vital and vibrant, in field hospitals. She’s doctoring. She’s back to her old self. And she’ll offer support to experienced fighter and natural leader Jamie, who joins the Continental Army.
Meanwhile, I’ve been helping the sick and injured
under one Lieutenant Stactoe, a man who
thinks he’s a surgeon but isn’t
C: The ‘surgeon’ in charge who doubts Claire’s expertise reminds me of S1 when she helped amputate the soldier’s arm – in the Garrison Commander episode.
and thinks that I am not because I am a woman.
Ian joined us again, having made his way north by land,
gathering information from the Indian tribes.
Meanwhile, the British Army are approaching us from the north, but Major General St. Clair is confident the fort will hold.
But we’ll stay and help the cause until your father is released from service on the 10th of July. He dreams of the children now and then.
A: Jamie is a very efficient leader!
Jamie is climbing the ranks. Jamie’s fighting against his friends, his family. He’s got a lot to lose.
G: You can tell Jamie is holding back. He isn’t entirely comfortable with his commanding officer.
C: Another scene reminding me of those strategic meetings between the generals leading up to the Battle of Culloden. Jamie was very assertive then and they wouldn’t listen.
A: Jamie has a point, but I don’t believe St. Clair and the others are willing to listen.
G: Ah, so this is the point of the title card with the goats. Jamie understands the art of war better than most. Dismissing Jamie will be his famous last words.
C: Perhaps this time Jamie is more measured and is allowing General Fermoy to come to his senses.
A: Denzell’s beliefs are definitely admirable, but William does have a point in terms of how their society, at the time, worked.
G: I love William’s costume. He looks very much like Jamie riding that horse. It’s good that William, Denny, and Rachel are able to hear each other’s side.
C: I agree Amanda, it’s kumbaya until it gets real, and you have a life and death decision to make. I like that line from William… “or the willingness of others to commit violence for you.”
A: Is this man sure they went the wrong way? He seems suspicious…
G: Interesting to meet strangers on the road. I would have thought every able-bodied man would have been conscripted to one side or the other.
C: It certainly is a random place to be chopping wood and yes, very very suspicious.
A: These folks have definitely fallen on hard times if they have to cook rabbits and other weird things.
G: Is that a rat? That looks like a rat, or maybe it’s a possum. Either way, I would choose at that moment to be a vegetarian. Ah, so both army’s been through and raided their cupboards which is why they are scrounging for meat.
C: Gross! I gagged at the sight of that stew. How were William and Denzell able to eat that?!
A: I don’t blame Rachel, that stew was indeed disgusting.
G: I like this budding friendship with William and Rachel. I don’t blame her for leaving. I wouldn’t want to offend but I couldn’t eat it either.
C: I would’ve done the same as Rachel to be honest.
Even funnier was their plan to decline breakfast in the morning.
A: I love Bree and Roger’s dynamic this season!
G: I love their new kitchen. The set design is amazing. Lovely use of the brown, orange, and green that signify the 70’s/80’s. Loving the flirting with Roger and Bree.
C: Beautiful kitchen yes! He wants to role play with the hard hat! :-)
A: I hope these men will respect Bree’s engineering skills.
G: This has to be nerve-wracking. Luckily, living with her Da has prepared her for how to deal with stubborn men. The scenery is beautiful.
C: Those Highland Mountains are always a treat to see.
I felt those nerves too, with Bree walking up to the guys.
A: I hope Bree can get these Nigels (annoying misogynists) fired!
G: Rob Cameroon, that name sounds familiar (I’ve read the book). I can’t believe they locked her in there. She could have been seriously hurt or worse.
If it were me, I would have fired every one of them when I got back. It was one thing to lock the door, but another to drive off. That was malicious and cruel.
C: I suspected they would pull a prank on Bree. This was even worse than I had imagined.
G: Did Bree make more matches? She is a Fraser through and through. I would have been petrified to be alone in those old tunnels. But Bree just soldiers on.
G: I don’t know how she knows where to go, I think it might be the Fraser genes. And what is the blue light buzzing thing? Is this like the stones? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them underground. Oh wait, we did see something similar when we were in Jamaica with Geillis.
A: I know that mirage may just be water or an oil slick, but it sounds like the standing stones.
C: Yes, this feels very cave-like vibes with what happened with Geillis in Jamaica.
I am thinking nooo don’t go through Bree…is that not THE buzzing signaling time travel portal? And if so, why is she going through? Does she not hear it?
[V: Oh, she hears it all right. Since this is something she has heard before, my questions are why doesn’t she know what it is and why doesn’t she react to it?]
[V: Further, why go through it? But, I guess not having a stone might mean nothing happens when you do.]
A: Thank God, Bree found the way out!
G: I’m so glad she got free. Because if one hair of her head was harmed, Roger was going to educate them on proper manners. Ah hem.
C: Whew! I am just glad she’s still in present-day Scotland.
A: Joseph Brandt is definitely someone I remember from my history classes.
G: Ian being apprehensive about returning to his old Mohawk village. I wonder if he will meet his ex-wife, Emily (the scene in the preview).
C: Ian is understandably afraid to revisit his past and does not want to go back to the Shadow Lake village.
A: Poor Ian, he’s still looking for answers on why Iseabail died.
G: Yes, poor Ian. I know his heart was broken when he lost baby Iseabail.
In the book, we learn more detail about why the baby died, but I wonder if the show will go into this later on, so no spoilers!
C: I thought it was brave of Ian to ask Claire to examine him. I like that he feels very close to ask his auntie about something so personal.
I hope that conversion brought him some closure, as I’m sure his mind has been running wild.
A: Yikes, this “good Samaritan” set up a trap!
G: So now, I’m wondering if the stew was meant to make them sick so they couldn’t fight. It’s a good thing he was awake.
Also as a side note, I was hoping to get a scene of him going to use the privy and falling in and Denny yelling what news of the Underworld Persephone, even though it was Lord John who said it several books/seasons back. LOL
OMG, I can’t believe the Johnson’s tried to attack them. It’s a good thing William was there, especially with Rachel and Denny’s objections to violence.
I don’t see how one can avoid comparing him to Jamie, given the circumstances. But the resemblances are clear: not only his impressive size and physique, but also his personal attributes: good sense of humor, physical courage (he leaps up and kills the bad guy to save Denzell from being killed), and thoughtfulness — not only his care for the Hunters’ well-being, but his genuine shock at having killed a man, and his attempt to come to terms with it, rather than pushing it under the rug.
G: I can’t believe William ‘decked’ Mrs. Johnson.
C: I just knew these folks were up to no good! Yes, the meal of death was definitely a trap.
A: William, you had to do what needed to be done. It will be okay.
G: This harkens me back to their speech on the road about when it’s necessary to kill. Seems even a justified killing is hard on William.
And Rachel and Denny seem grateful though it goes against their beliefs. As a side note, he definitely has his father’s instincts.
C: Agree Gwen, William’s belief was tested. It’s one thing to believe and another to come face-to-face with reality.
In this case he had to be the one to commit said violence in order to save them all.
A: Jamie’s instincts were correct about the British having the assistance of Highlanders, who are excellent climbers.
I think Jamie and Claire have always tried to circumnavigate war and tried to change it, certainly in Culloden and Prestonpans they tried to change the course of history. And we realized that you can’t, no matter what happens, it seems to always find its course. So this time, they’re just trying to be on the right side but it feels bigger.
This feels like a really unavoidable sort of force of nature that’s happening, and Jamie switches sides now. Unfortunately for him, they kind of both get roped back into it and they do the best that they can to protect those that they love and those they have responsibility for. But yeah, it feels like they’re really staring down the barrel of a gun. This time, they don’t really know how it’s gonna turn out for them.
G: His instincts are always right. He should definitely be in charge. His war instincts haven’t dulled since Culloden.
C: He’s got the experience behind him that’s for sure. He’s got the experience behind him that’s for sure.
A: I knew this was exactly what the title of the episode referred to – The Battle of Singapore! It’s a shame the period drama that details the battle, The Singapore Grip, is blocked from viewing in America.
I do wonder what that means for the chances of the Continental Army.
G: Ah, so that’s the Battle of Singapore.
C: First time I’m hearing about the Battle of Singapore.
I had to learn how to drive a horse and cart, which was a lot of fun. But I’d been learning in a practice cart with a foot break and the brilliant trainer next to me. When we got to shoot the actual scene, it was a different cart, no break and no trainer – just me and poor Izzy who plays my sister. We were riding on quite a narrow track with Charles on horseback next to us. Let’s just say, the first take didn’t quite go to plan. I thought I was going to kill us all! But I got the hang of it after a couple more!
A: I do hope the Hunters and William cross paths again. I wonder where William is going next.
G: I did enjoy them getting to know each other.
We might consider William’s generosity with money as being due more to Lord John than to Jamie; being raised as a member of the British aristocracy and having a LOT of inherited property and money probably makes it easier to share your wealth, as you’re pretty sure you’ll have more of it. Still, Jamie is always generous with what he has, so we can’t really distinguish generosity as belonging more to one father than the other.
G: I think it’s really sweet that he still has Jamie’s rosary, even though he thinks it’s Ian. In a lot of ways, his father guides him. Rachel might be a little sweet on William. But she also had a connection with Ian. I wonder what becomes of that.
C: This scene was sweet all around. William with the Hunters parting ways and Denzell and Rachel steadfastly looking out for and after each other.
She’s like, no, no, no, I’ll come with you. But I think they also see it as an adventure. They’ve grown up in this really kind of small, closed Quaker community and although it’s scary and at times it’s very tough on both of them being around that much violence, it completely opens their minds and it really informs who they become.
A: This meeting is definitely awkward for Ian, but he definitely needs this bit of closure.
G: I wonder if Ian is happy to be home.
Emily is so beautiful. And it’s good to see that she is okay. I know losing the baby was hard on both of them. It looks like they still love each other.
C: The prediction was right that we do see Emily again. Ian looks happy to see her as well.
A: This young actor is really adorable.
G: He is adorable and he looks like a Murray with that auburn hair.
Awww . . . he is the child of Ian’s spirit. I can see that.
C: Swiftest of Lizards is rocking that long hair really well.
Your name is . . . Ian James.
A: Ian James is a lovely name for the boy.
G: It’s a perfect name. I teared up a little bit at this scene. Giving him a name that encompasses the two men who mean the most to Ian. His father and his Uncle. Of course, himself too.
C: I agree with both of you. Perfect name for a sweet boy.
Ian James. I like it.
A: Whatever happened must be serious, usually Jemmy loves to talk to his Da.
G: I love this trailer out front of the house. It looks like Roger is building a go cart for Jem and Mandy. Oh no, why is Jem running off. Jem is such a sweet boy.
C: Is that the same area/nook of Lallybroch that little Fergus and the kids hid that gun they used to kill the raven back in S3?
[V: I don’t know, Caty. But it looks like it.]
A: Gaelic was still banned from schools in the 1970’s. Now there’s a movement to teach more people Gaelic and preserve the culture. This reminds me of how US schools punish the children of immigrants.
G: What a culture clash. This scene shows the impact of the bans on Scottish culture after Culloden was still impacting people several hundred years in the future.
I’m so glad that Jem is appreciating his culture in spite of what others think.
C: Preserving culture/language is so important and you appreciate it more as you get older, coming from an immigrant family. It’s endearing to see Jemmy doing so despite the resistance he’s receiving at school.
G: Humm . . . and who is leaving all that trash around?
[V: I don’t know. And, I wonder how much longer we will have to wait to find out about it and the Nuckelavee.]
A: Now I see why Claire hates her boss, this is no way to talk to a subordinate.
C: That poor lady is terrified!
G: We finally get an introduction to Denny and Mr. Woodcock. Oh, his foot looks terrible. I wonder why they didn’t take care of it before.
That would have to be Caitriona Balfe. She is just the best woman in every sense. Firstly, she’s an incredible actor and scene partner, but she is also so kind and connected to every person on set. She takes the role of being number one on the cast list very seriously and makes sure everyone is being looked after and feels secure and seen. I’ve said this before but, in the show, Claire is a mentor to Denny, and I feel like that relationship translated into real life for me.
A: I love everyone’s shock at the simple concept of sterilizing instruments. No wonder why so many people died of infection.
G: I love that Denny and Claire took to each other right away. I can’t believe that several books later, Claire is still trying to get medical professionals to clean their instruments. That’s right Denny, we don’t need your instruments anyway!
C: No wonder a lot of limbs were amputated in these times. I love the unspoken communication between two qualified healthcare professionals. That lieutenant is rude!
I’m really excited about the relationship between Denny and Claire. I think it’s a really lovely and quite rare relationship for both of them. We’ve seen Claire be dismissed quite a lot in the medical field for being a woman and I think Denny is one of the first people that meets her on an even playing field. As soon as he meets her, he has the utmost respect for her. It’s a real meeting of minds between the two of them and they see each other as an ally instantly.
A: Seeing is definitely believing!
G: Jamie trying to prove his point. Some people never seem to learn.
C: Jamie said. “I’ll show you better than I can tell you, sir!”
A: He should have definitely alerted people ahead of time this was a drill, but it proves his point.
C: Oh no, I thought the waving of Jamie’s hat was meant to signal an okay to return back . . . not to actually fire!
G: Yeah, that’s scary. I think a heads-up would have been helpful.
It’s a really interesting aspect of the job, the ability to jump into completely unexpected places, and the research aspect of that. Every episode seems to have a different research need—this season alone, you’ve got naval uniforms, British army uniforms, revolutionary military uniforms, Quakers, and then also real people. That’s the other thing with this season, because of the Revolutionary War, so many famous historical figures will be passing through the story.
A: I sense a slight spark between Ian and Rachel.
G: I was starting to think Rachael and William made a nice pair, but Rachael and Ian are looking hopeful. Will definitely keep an eye out on these too.
C: Rachel has chemistry with both Ian and William on screen. It keeps the audience guessing which of the two will spark a romance. :-)
And I have a little romantic love triangle which I think the fans are going to like. It’s very Outlander because [there’s] lots of longing looks and it’s very fun. I can’t say too much, but it’s a very fun little dynamic.
A: I’m glad Walter survived! I hope he sees his wife again!
G: Such a sweet story. I’m glad we got to learn more about him. I hope he sees his wife again too.
C: I would’ve liked to know how Walter ended up there in the first place?
[V: This plays out differently than in the book. But he is there to fight on the rebel’s side of the war.]
A: We know Bree is exaggerating, but the kids don’t need to know all the horrible details.
G: She is putting on such a brave face. I definitely would have thrown a few of them off the dam. LOL.
C: It’s understandable to keep some information from your kids. They don’t need to know everything.
A: I’m glad Bree told Roger the real story.
G: That has to be really hard on her. Even if it’s how things are right now, it’s unfair. I would be punishing all of them by making them walk to the dam every day.
C: It’s nice to have a partner to help the day end better than it started.
[V: Yes, it is. I also liked that he reminded her of what Claire must have gone through at Harvard Medical School, being the only woman in the class.]
[V: I also like that he shows how proud of her he is and his appreciation of her hard work in real time. That is a beautiful pen.]
A: I doubt it’s supernatural. It’s more likely teens were hanging around Lallybroch hence the garbage Roger saw.
G: So this is the one drawback of living in the country. When you see someone unexpected, it’s scary.
How is Roger going to go out there and find whatever it was?
Also it reminds me of Frank brushing past a Scottish figure in S1 Epi1. So much folklore in the Scottish Highlands.
C: Honestly, I thought something was going to jump up behind Roger before he went back inside. It feels like someone is watching them.
A: Welp, Jamie and Claire were right, the British found the weak point.
G: Jamie tried to tell you. He even showed you it was possible. They are going to learn to start taking him seriously. But thankfully, Jamie had a backup plan, as always. This had to startle him. I wonder if he is replaying his conversation with Jamie about the British tactics.
A: The solider on the left looks like he could see the spyglass being pointed at him.
G: When he saw the three soldiers he began to feel like maybe he had more time. Or, maybe they had just started the process. Now he knows that they are not only in position but prepared to attack. This was a costly mistake on his part.
C: The situation is about to get real.
A: This isn’t a tea party, those Redcoats are definitely prepared to fight.
G: Now it’s dawning on how grave this situation is. Where is the officer who ignored Jamie’s plan?
C: That escalated quickly!
A: I wish he said, “I’m sorry Jamie I was wrong,” but that’s never going to happen.
G: Oh there he is. And of course, he didn’t admit that Jamie told him that the Highlanders would climb the hill.
C: Why are they now playing dumb saying no one could have foreseen this coming when Jamie told them exactly that?
A: All of those men have egg on their faces.
G: They do and if they don’t come up with a plan, it will be blood as well.
C: It’s time to move… and quickly!
[V: That bubble in Jamie’s head . . . Ah, I not only foresaw it, but I also warned you and even showed you what would happen. But in all of your arrogance, you rejected my suggestions. Now, your ass and e’ryone else’s is up ‘Shits Creek’.]
G: Nobody is stepping up to the plate with suggestions. Nobody seems to want to take ownership for this disaster. You know he wants to say I told you so. And I can’t blame him. Luckily for them, Jamie had a backup plan to evacuate.
A: Jamie is clearly trying to keep calm and not curse everyone out.
C: He is polite. I’m giving an I told you face, if I were him.
A: Jamie is, once again, more prepared than everyone else. His men have boats so they can evacuate the fort.
G: Moving all the women and children to the boats. I bet he is wishing he were on his way to Scotland instead.
C: They should all be grateful for his backup plan.
A: Poor Roger, his plan to comfort Bree is foiled.
G: He is such a sweetheart.
C: He has been trying to role play with that hard hat for a minute now.
A: Yikes, there’s not a single woman in that pub.
G: Bree is his mother’s daughter. I love her backbone.
C: The knitting club?? Let’s see how this goes….
A: Get ‘em Bree!
G: The first man that walked away should have been the first one fired. They are still joking but it’s not funny.
Rob is not to be trusted. I also wonder if any of these men noticed the buzzing in the tunnel.
[V: He surely is not to be trusted. And again, I wonder why she didn’t mention the buzzing sound to Roger.]
C: Good for Bree, but I still don’t like these men.
A: This situation could have been avoided if they listened to Jamie.
G: I can’t believe they have to evacuate now because he didn’t listen to Jamie. So frustrating.
C: They have no other choice. Hope most of them were able to get away.
A: That’s so messed up that they can’t take him and the other patients with them.
G: Oh no, they are leaving him. I really wish the show would do more with the characters of color. He was worth saving! What was the point of saving him only to leave him behind?
Also unfortunately, this is a common theme throughout the series where the characters of color seem to never be worth saving.
C: I agree, Gwen. I was really confused with this scene and also very sad! I know it pains Claire to have to leave Walter behind. I highly doubt the British soldiers will show him any mercy.
A: The man with the rifle is not taking any chances. The British could easily have their own boats or attack when the refugees dock on the other side of the lake.
G: The soldiers were noticed at night and by dawn, Jamie has the first few boats packed and on their way. They should count themselves lucky to have him.
C: Helps to travel light.
A: Jamie must have a lot on his mind, but he’s focused on leading his men to safety.
G: This was a close call. This could have been disastrous for the soldiers and their families.
C: Where are they going though? I like the suspense.
A: This is a great shot of the lake and the land around Fort Ticonderoga. I also wonder where the evacuees are headed.
G: They lose the fort but live to fight another day.
C: Certainly, Gwen. Most important thing for now is staying alive.
A: I’m glad these civilians are safe, but still wishing they were able to take Walter and the other patients from the hospital.
G: Such a waste. And all because he wouldn’t listen to Jamie.
C: Poor Walter. One can only hope the soldiers show him mercy.
A: I have a feeling Bree is going to find where Jemmy was placing the stones.
G: I would be absolutely petrified of finding my parents. Jem’s rock tower is lovely. I do wonder if they were buried in Scotland or America.
C: This scene brought back memories from S3 when Claire was also talking to Jamie at the Fraser stone at the Battle of Culloden site.
Jem said he built this for you, Da.
He said that he and Mandy come here to talk to you.
Well . . . something I think you’ll be proud of,
got a new job, working at a dam.
Well, I’m-I’m the plant inspector,
which kinda means I am everybody’s boss.
It’s not really that easy, telling the lads what to do.
Even in this time, it’s complicated.
Roger and I bought Lallybroch.
I wish you and Ma could see it.
A: Bree speaking her letter is a beautiful way to close this episode!
G: Jamie would love that they bought Lallybroch. It’s her birthright.
C: Agree Amanda, this was a beautiful way to end the episode. I like that the MacKenzies have found a way to stay close to Claire and Jamie.
Episode Rating (1-5 Shots)
We give this episode 4.5-shots! The episode connected all the current 18th century plotlines in a very cohesive fashion. We loved the tie-in of Roger and Bree in Scotland with Jamie and Claire in America. This episode was paced well yet went by so quickly. Everyone’s personalities within their respective plot lines were highlighted. Great resolution of the Ian and Emily story line. Additionally, the episode title successfully hid from fans what was a historical inevitability.
This episode was very good in terms of combining the historical reenactment aspect with character development. There were a number of parallel scenes to previous seasons to satisfy audience nostalgia. The music also aided in that nostalgia.
We finally see Denzell as the first doctor to actually respect Claire’s knowledge and abilities, and we love that Claire finally has a peer with Denny. Rachel may not be a doctor but she’s definitely a feisty character to watch.
It was god to learn more about the Hunters and William. And it was nice to see Ian get some kind of closure to his past with Emily, which means he may finally be able to move on. Jamie is still the leader of men and doing what he does best. However, we saw that he struggled with not having enough influence or enough respect for his experience in battle.
In the modern-day timeline, we were glad to see that the kids, Bree and Roger are trying to maintain their relationship with Claire and Jamie. Great character development of the MacKenzies. It was good to see the family thriving, even though there were a few bumps for Bree and Jem.
This week, we had three favorite scenes. One was of Brianna finding her way out of the tunnel and confronting the workers at the pub. We loved seeing her take matters into her own hands and lay down the law. Another was Ian and Emily’s reunion, him meeting her son and naming him Ian James. The last one was of Jem standing up for his Scottish culture.
The director this week did a great job with the Shadow Lake scenes. The set design was also amazing. We enjoyed the action scenes of the British scaling the mountain, Bree escaping from the tunnel, William having to fight the evil host and his wife and the evacuation scene with the boats of Fort Ticonderoga.
We have a couple of shout-outs for our favorite performances. Kudos to Morgan Holmstrom and John Bell. The overall emotions they displayed as Emily and Ian were felt by all. We are so happy to see Ian get peace. The second goes to Izzy Meikle-Small. She has been able to reveal, ever so slightly, more of Rachel’s personality in all of her scenes.
We also have five favorite costumes. One was Rachel’s traveling cape coat. We liked that the yellow in her dress stood out in the sea of military uniforms and neutral tones. The military uniforms are impressive and the detailing and color combinations were exquisite. Shout out to Denzell’s hat; it suits him well. Last, we liked the 80s look of the MacKenzies.
As usual, the cinematography was outstanding. As we’ve mentioned before, Scotland is a character of this show, and they highlighted it well. The present-day Scotland shot of Bree at the dam with the mountains in the background is gorgeous! Another scene that was beautifully shot was Shadow Lake. We also enjoyed seeing more of the scenery around Lallybroch and inside the camper.
LOOKING FORWARD
What we are looking forward to in S7 Epi6 – Where the Waters Met.
Amanda: I’m looking forward to seeing more of Denziell working with Claire and also what Rachel will get up to while her brother is at work. I’m also wondering if we’ll actually meet Joseph Brandt. Also check out Amanda’s blog post on the history behind the war in Singapore and her recent Outlander articles! Follow Amanda on Twitter – @amandarprescott.
Gwen: I’m looking forward to seeing who will win the heart of Rachel Hunter (Ian or William). And what will Bree do about the evidence of stones in the dam? Will she tell Roger? Follow Gwen on Twitter – @autonomy_6.
Caty: I am looking forward to finding out what the buzzing in the tunnel of the dam was all about! Follow Caty on Twitter – @catyposh.
