This week I take look back at how I felt before season 1!
I love being able to write this follow-up and look ahead every week. It gives me a chance after a few days reflection and reading other people’s takes on the last episode, to gain a bit of perspective and gives me a chance to examine my initial reaction. I told several readers this week that by Wednesday I make some re-calibrations. As most of you know, this wasn’t my favorite episode (see here).

This leaves me with an open mind to see the joys and failings of the screen adaption in its own right. I love the Outlander novels and continue to re-read them regularly but I also love what Ron and the team, including the wonderful Catriona,Sam and Tobias have created with the screen version. So looking forward to season 3 and 4 – its a most wonderful and fantastic journey!

Co-workers think I’ve lost my mind, even an Outlander fan referred to me as “creepy” about my attraction to the lovely Mr Heughan! Creepy!?!? I refused to mention our favorite series to her for a week and then just gave in and accepted that my incessant…whatever!!
I’ve read so many complaints, shark-jumping stuff. Then I also read Diana’s comments and literally sighed and relaxed. For the love of God Melanie, get a grip, it’s a TV show!! But it’s our TV show, our Jamie & Claire, our Scotland. Diana Gabaldon gave the gift to us and I will treasure that gift with my big old weepy creepy heart!!
