More Tobias Menzies (I Canna Help Myself, Sassenachs)

Adorbs, party of 1?

Ya know - as stoked as I am to see "Sam and Cat" in action... I gotta say: Tobias Menzies has me in a tailspin.  I'm really hoping to see more of HIM - as both Frank - AND Black Jack Randall - in the next Outlander Starz trailer.

If you've never seen ROME, you may not want to watch this...as it's a compilation of scenes from the entire series...and completely spoiler-laden.  ROME is, to date, in my opinion, the best series ever to air on a cable network.  But I digress...

So...you've been warned.  Want to see Tobias Menzies in action?  This video (by Antalya1705) is set to Bush's "Glycerine"...and we never hear Tobias utter a word, which is a pity as his textured, authoritative voice accounts for so much of his allure.  Yet Gavin Rossdale's gravelly voice - paired with the angst of the song - is a perfect alternate.

Welcome to Tobias Menzies, lads and lassies.  Things just got interesting...

The Lost Portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie

This is a fantastic article about a lost portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie and a documentary about it that will air in Britain on the BBC this Saturday, February 22nd.  

Apparently, it "was painted in Holyrood Palace in late October 1745."  Can't you just see Jamie hanging around the palace, waiting for BPC and asking him, "Are ye almost finished, ya wee rascal?  Claire will have my heid if I'm no home for supper, aye?"

*Note:  This originally said "ya wee besom"...until Sue kindly pointed out that "besom" refers to a FEMALE.  ROFLMAO.  See comments for details.  

No MOP Chat Tonight: Happy Presidents Day!

Washington at the Battle of Monmouth
 (Original by John Ward Dunsmore)

We will not be having MOP Chat tonight in observance of Presidents Day, a national holiday here in the United States.

We look forward to seeing you here next Monday at 9PM Eastern!

In honor of Presidents Day, here's little history about George Washington at the Battle of Monmouth.

Pay attention, now...you'll be reading more about this come June 10th when MOBY comes out!  :)
