OUTLANDER Review: “Blood Of My Blood”
Outlander spins its wheels in an episode that doesn’t seem to move the season’s story forward.
This episode of Outlander uses its time to set up a couple of conflicts that will play out as the season unfolds, setting expectations of tension incredibly high as an old friend of Claire and Jamie is reintroduced.
This week’s episode of Outlander investigates the connection between community and its ability to keep the inner beasts of mankind at bay.
Claire and Jamie leave Aunt Jocasta’s, and Claire finds something that may hold the key to helping her understand what makes time travel possible on Outlander.
Jamie has a lot to learn about the customs and ways of the people in this new country he intends to call home. His time at Aunt Jocasta’s will give him a hard lesson about America and freedom.
Droughtlander is finally over! The season picks up four months after Claire and Jamie wash up on the shores of America. The New World poses new problems for the couple since they find themselves far away from their Scottish home, yet still under the thumb of British rule. America is a beautiful, yet troubled place (it still is for that matter) and does not shy away from confronting America’s troubled history within the narrative of the premiere.
Season 2, Episodes 1-13 – The second season of Jessica Jones is perfectly adequate. The story is fine. The character development is fine. It’s aesthetically gorgeous.
