Lassies of Fraser's Ridge - Outlander Season 4, there's spoilers in them thar hills.

[Lessstressedhemum]

A new adventure awaits us in the New World. It's going to be savage!

Cam someone remind me where Rollo and Ian are supposed to be?

Is it Ian with the native Americans?

Oh boy yes did he look devastatingly hot and devastated in the redcoat - I was wondering whilst watching it (and given Dougal was resurrected as his son and we had a young Murtagh and one person playing the Beardsley twins) if Sam might play William as well? Or has he been cast?

It really was a tear-jerker but Sam played a blinder I think - so emotional - and the Murtagh scenes with Claire and Jaimie were just heart-rending. Poor Murtagh.

I did rewind the much awaited river scene (could have been longer...) a couple (or so) times! Such a beautiful man And the Happy Birthday scene was much better done that the parody barn sex. I am far too invested in this man ...

Yes, Ian and Rollo are with the native Americans.

When in the books do they come back? Obviously in time for the Quaker romances and the Bugs, but I remember lots of Ian in battle. But also I think I've merged all the traipsing around battling from the latter books

Ian returns at the end of book 5.

I enjoyed the episode and really found it emotional.

It was about this time in the books that I thought I would also read up on American history a bit and what led up to the war of independence. There is also a series on Amazon Prime called Turn staring Jamie Bell-not a patch on Sam which covers some of the same geographical area as Outlander but looks at Washington's spy ring he set up at the start of the war.

Well that was quite a busy episode.

Murtagh - very sad but I imagine he would have met his end sooner rather than later. At least he died with Jamie holding him.

Roger- what a daft. He shouldn't have hugged the woman from the ship. Even talking to her could have got him a kicking but really? Maybe he thought he was in the 20th century.

The penicillin too! Perhaps a sign that trying to alter history can't work. Must be so frustrating for her as a doctor who knows there are/will be cures but she can't access them to save her current patients.

Murtagh!! That’s how he’d want to go though, fighting for what he believed in. I’ll miss him.

Relieved to see Roger isn’t a goner though, I was quite pissed off that his last scene was getting whacked by some random and dying off screen!

Also how did I not clock Graham McTavish? Gonna have to watch it again now...

Not only did you not clock him, but you've described him as 'some random'.

Amazing acting from Sam Heughan in this weeks episode. He conveyed so much emotion.

Does anyone else think the chemistry has changed a bit between Sam and cait now that cait is married?

Name change again!

Sam Heughan's facial expressions are great. His spoken acting can be a little wooden sometimes but his physical acting is superb.

Also his face and body are superb. He is just so, so handsome.

BonnesVacances I am ashamed...

I missed Graham McTavish too. He looks so different

He's a bit old to be playing his son, really. All that hair to disguise the wrinkly brow😃 I think that might tell if they get as far as book 8, tbh.

Sam's physical acting is incredible. I think sometimes the dialogue can be a bit stilted but I'm not sure if that's the writing or the acting. Some of it doesn't seem quite natural somehow. But both Sam and Ceit are brilliant at facial expressions and body language.

So was that guy meant to be the son he had with Geilis Duncan?

Yes, that's William Mackenzie, Dougal and Geilis's son.

He's a bit old to be playing his son, really. All that hair to disguise the wrinkly brow😃 I think that might tell if they get as far as book 8, tbh.

True shame though...

Sam Heughan's facial expressions are great. His spoken acting can be a little wooden sometimes

See, I've just been rewatching Season 1 and 2 (nothing better to do ...) and I don't think he was wooden at all in that - great energy, movement, and speech and lots of emotions - so am inclined to think it's the script/directing this season and I'm no budging

I did spot something though that I had missed first time around - before they go into the church for the wedding she says she can marry him because she doesn't know his name but at the end of the previous episode in the I am (a virgin) scene she is sat there reading a marriage contract that has his full name on it (I know because I rewound it several times to make sure he is just soooo cute)

I read they had used some CGI to de-age Graham MacTavish. I did like seeing him, though.

I always assumed Claire said she couldn't marry Jamie because she didn't know his name, as it's what came into her head and she couldn't very well say, I'm already married 200yrs in the future, as her real reason. I don't think she sees the marriage certificate in the books either and the line comes from there.

Dh hates outlander, refused to watch it past series 1, but due to current circumstances is obviously at home so was half watching it and he recognised that William was Graham McTavish before me! I think he must secretly be an outlander fan after all!

I think he must secretly be an outlander fan after all!
mine used the word honeypot for the first time last week - am sure I have never heard him say it in all our years together - and now I am wondering where that has come from as he has never watched it with me ...

Actually I see that the error with the contract was pointed out by fans and DG back in 2014 - have come to Outlander only last year after reading mumsnetters going on about JAMMF and wondering what all the fuss was about - what was I thinking not watching it earlier????

When is the next episode? I thought there would be one yesterday. Have we got to the corona break?

It's just the mid-season break. The next episode will be on Easter Monday on Prime.
