My Outlander Purgatory's Carol and Tracey are back to recap the latest episode of Season 7 of Outlander, the Starz series based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book series. Join us as we break down every moment, including why this was a rather over the top episode (and why we’re glad it wasn’t the first episode of season 7); why Bree and Roger should turn the trailer into a garage bar; why we weren’t sure what the Easter egg was all about even though it’s probably obvious (tell us what you think!); why it might have been Bree’s time of the month during this episode; why we’re worrit about Jem; why we’re split on whether we’d race to the history books (like Roger) or back the hell off (like Bree); why Jamie and Claire are the only people with sense in the entire American Revolution (or at least at Fort Ticonderoga); Jamie’s irregularity; why we’re trying to ignore certain accents; why history dictates that General Pepe Le Pew not be around; why Pepe’s over the top-ness is a little much; why the Ninth Earl of Elsemere would never eat a rat; who Rachel should choose (you tell us!); why hard hats and going commando on the first day of a new job is not where WE’D go, but whatever; how Tracey’s yearbook PROVES that Bree needs a new 1980 hairstyle; how Bree buried the lead re: her first day at work; why “personal reasons” isn’t an excuse when it comes to the military; why everyone at Ticonderoga needs to learn how to say FRAY-zer; why the Hunter casting is *chef’s kiss*; the significance of Swiftest of Lizards and his new name; why you should go back and read MOP blog posts from when we were reading the books; why we’re shocked that ANYONE is getting the belt in school in 1980; how Mrs. Raven’s freakout channeled both “Airplane” and Jan Brady; why Denzel Hunter just might be from 1980; how Dr. Pompous and General Pepe LePew serve the same purpose; Eff, Marry, Kill: Rachel Edition; why Roger would make a good therapist; why a pen is NEVER a good gift for your wife (despite what Bree thinks); how General St. Clair took his sweet time showing up (maybe he was napping); the return of BOSS BITCH BREE; how MOP Tom would have LOVED the Inverness pub ❤️ 🍺; how leaving the wounded behind in Ft. Ticonderoga was so Titanic; why the fade to black was so great; and MUCH MUCH MORE!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Bring on Season 7!


Alright, y'all. A new year, a new season of Outlander. (In life, all roads lead to Outlander. Remember that.) 

Admittedly, I'm no a giant fan of US Weekly's ads that pop up in my face when I'm trying to ogle Sam Heughan. But hey, they gotta pay the bills, and this article by  is pretty thorough in updating what we can expect in Season 7 of Outlander, premiering this summer! Also have to give Nicole a wee shoutout because she went to Monmouth University, an amazing institution of higher learning. (My own Wee Ian refuses to apply there because it's practically in our back yard and my-man wants to spread his wings a little.) More than a few of us know why Monmouth might be topical in an Outlander post. The rest of you who haven't read the series? You'll have to keep watching, my friends. Lordddddddd keep watching. 

“America really is in sort of turmoil. There’s revolution, and Jamie and Claire are separated,” the Waypoints author teased. “There’s also the prophecy of Jamie and Claire’s death, you know, that they’re supposed to die in a fire. There’s just so much going on.” ~Sam Heughan for US 

As you may or may not know, depending on how long you've been visiting MOP, all roads ALSO lead to the American Revolution...so you can imagine how stoked I am to get this show on the road. Since things started heading toward "Give me liberty or give me death", I've been waiting for this season with bated breath! Why? Umm...REMEMBER PAOLI!

If I'm honest, I'm hoping the writers/producers/directors are fans of TURN: Washington's Spies...because they did it RIGHT. Every...single...second of that series is gold. GOLD!!! (And the reason I cried at John Andre's sarcophagus at Westminster...but that's a different conversation!!) 

Another series that will get you jonesing for Revolutionary War times is Poldark. (Say it soft and it's almost like pray-ing.) le sigh...BOY do I miss Aidan Turner's bare chest. LOL I'm kindof kidding; I'm more into the courtroom scenes when Ross PolDARK is yelling at everyone before going to a hot dinner made by Demelza who, oddly enough, is probably still wearing something resembling rags.

At any rate...I wanted to let you know how excited we are for this summer, and not just because it's margarita season. I also wanted to let you know that Tracey and I will be making a video sooner rather than later...just to catch up, discuss our theories/hopes for the upcoming season, and share some altogether merriness for the new year with you fine people whom we miss so much. ❤️

JE SUIS PREST!
