Reading Cult's perspective to make this as properly connected as I can. Correct me in any mistakes! (Please)

I already said Jean wants to dominate and tame your God self. And when he met himself he is both disappointed to know he's some pathetic cult member but also jealous he gets to sleep around with a literal God!...But he prefers the normal you cause...Well it's easier.

Barry is getting to know his Cultist self and...may or may not be collecting blackmail...And not only that seeing you as a God is great and all. But he likes to have power over you already!

Jack's the same deal with his alternate self except he thinks he's on...Uneasy side...Then again Jack's a couple drinks away from punching someone but who's to tell? (I did say Jack's in therapy- There are reasons. plural) He already has you so why bother with another one? Two is great but you both seem a bit to...Different in a way that he'd prefer the current one he knows...They're his friend and favorite bartender! Why'd he want to replace you sunshine?

Rory likes his alternate self and doesn't mind some baking talk. He's ever been only limited to bake rich and fancy desserts and all the other food he makes are gourmet meals or appetizers so having someone to info dump on stuff he either does or doesn't know is nice. Same situation also with the God you! But he likes his adorable bartender better

Joseph likes his other self. A good guy in a what he believes so far as much as he knows is in a good life. He's admittedly intimidated to know you're a God in another universe...But he's still willing to get to know the other you! But he prefers the current one he knows...They're more natural

Shaun doesn't mind that he works as a dealer! He reassures that fact to his other self and he does a side job as a writer for books he's working on. He likes being dealer because sometimes the gamblers have some interesting tales to tell so he's still in the creative arts! Just on the subtle area. He doesn't mind the God version of you. Infact he's curious about this whole cult thing...It can be useful for a story someday.

Ian's kinda worried for his alternate self...But he's being nice! He tries to talk with him but...Not much to say...As far as he knows about his cultists self he seems more a anxious mess then he is! (Thank god for therapy). When he learns you're a God it's a interesting thing. He feels intimidated and scared and he prefers the version of you that's more. Mortal. He's still being okay with the God version it's just...It's less on how he feels about you...He's unsure how to tell his therapist about this situation.

Bo is doing great with his alternative self! Even if he's...Kinda different to him. Casino Bo is like a somewhat more professional version of himself. (He's still super excited and lovable like normal Bo but he can actually sit still on one spot and keep a serious expression even if he sees someone he's excited to see in the distance. His tail won't be easy to control of course) When he meets the God version of you it's a new thing. Again different scent and...A different you. He has mixed feelings and he can't say he likes it.

Nick is alright with his other self. Same situation. The other you is the same cutie he likes to see...But it's just...Not the same attraction he has with the one he already knows. But a God version of you is pretty cool!

Awwww these are cute!! also lmao I wanna know more about Jack and his therapy 👀 and awwwww Joseph 🥺

How ‘bout that early release of Episode 1 The Fiery Cross? Spoilers, shmoilers. Pfft… what’s a 75-hour Tumblr embargo* when you’re accustomed to a 25-hour one?

After much whining, Season 5 finally arrived chez moi. What did I think?

Cold Open: Gave me chills, despite having seen it during promo. Murtz. In a kilt. Walking across a grassy field. Wind blowing through his hair. Reassuring a bereaved child. What’s not to love?

Theme Song: Missed (Mrs. Bear McCreary) Raya Yarbrough’s solo, but the choral version is already growing on me.

Opening Credits: Quietly thrilled to see Producer Caitriona Balfe, Producer Sam Heughan, and look forward to seeing their influence mid-season forward. (Remember, they received the new gigs after S5 production was well underway.)

Wedding Preparation: Beautiful dress with so many details to highlight the Scottish heritage the bride only recently discovered. So many sweet moments between Claire and Brianna and between Jamie and Brianna. “Je suis prest.” Da, your daughter’s a Fraser.

The (New) Wedding: The Frasers of the Ridge are here! (Chills 2) Loved the callback to S1E7 The Wedding — Jamie and Brianna’s walk through the doorway into the sunlight. Thought the juxtapositions were poignant — A reluctant bride in a dark church, hesitatingly saying her vows. A joyous bride in the great outdoors, eagerly saying hers. A small group of men, a tavern hostess, a prostitute, and no family-of-the-bride as guests. A huge gathering of friends and tenants of all genders and ages, and the bride’s parents, son, brother, sister-in-law, nephew, niece, great-aunt… and great-godfather, who managed to catch a glimpse from afar, as guests.

Fraser-MacKenzie Kids: Germain and Jemmy and Joanie, oh my! And Fergus and Marsali’s privately celebrating Félicité “in utero” was a lovely moment. (For anyone confused about number of the babies, Lizzie looked after Jemmy during the wedding ceremony, while Marsali held Joanie on her knee.)

“Some Shakespeare, anyone?”: Really, Lord John? 🤦🏻‍♀️

L is for the way you look at me: If you’ve never had someone pick up a guitar and sing a love song just for you… well, let’s just say Murtz wasn’t the first man to steal my heart. Rik Rankin truly has a lovely singing voice, and I will dearly miss Roger’s when… well… you know. Sigh.

Favourite Line: “I’ve got more on my mind than kissin’ and what have you, Mr. Fraser, Sir.” (Josiah Beardsley) What have you… 😂

Jocasta Cameron: Snob? Sly? Slut? All of the above?

Black Jack The Sequel: What is it with these corrupt redcoats? Governor Tryon annoys me more with each scene.

Hair Tics: I’m confident me ol’ pal @saint-hildegard-of-bingen is unable to count the number of times I’ve referred to myself as a heretic while talking to her, something I never did prior to reading the Outlander series, particularly The Fiery Cross. 😎

The Kilt: Oh, the kilt! (Chills 3) And the callback to S2E9 Je Suis Prest with the song Moch Sa Mhadainn. Powerful Scottish stuff.

Lighting Of The Cross: (Chills 4) I loved it and I’m not sorry. Highland chieftains set fire to a cross to call their men to arms. Period. Jamie lit his cross 90-something years before someone bastardized the long-held Scottish tradition.

Stand By My Hand: (Chills 5) So. Many. Feels. Loved the callback to S1E4 The Gathering. Isaiah Morton’s** realizing Roger didn’t quite get Jamie’s invitation, and teaching by doing, made me smile. Jamie’s being impressed Roger didn’t need to “Repeat what I say” made me smile more. Jamie’s looking to Brianna for confirmation before accepting Roger’s pledge made me tear up. Marsali’s pride at Fergus’s pledging his fealty — and at her not having to prompt Jamie to recognize Fergus’s worth — released those tears. The rest of the men’s lining up to more Moch Sa Mhadainn sealed the deal. Favourite scene, hands down.

Ghoistidh: Jamie’s knowing he’ll abandon Tryon eventually to fight alongside Washington, conflicting with Murtagh’s need to lead the Regulators and antagonize Tryon now, breaks my heart. And don’t get me started on Jamie’s releasing Murtz from his decades-old vow. 😭

Forewarning: If Murtz dies as a Regulator, and if Jamie is directly involved in his death, I will be inconsolable… about losing TV-Murtagh. Real Life Murtagh™ is safe, at home with me.

Sadly Absent: Young Ian. I really missed Ian. And Rollo. (Which is more than I can say for Lizzie. She looked at Josiah Beardsley on the big house verandah the same way she looked at Young Ian on the Cape Fear boat.) Hurry home…

Reality Bites: Too clean? Too modern? Too fancy? Too funny. Three of the four main characters touched a rock and instantaneously travelled 200 years. One of them three stinkin’ times. Reality left the building at 37:41 of the first episode. (Well, Frank saw a ghost at 24:20, but who wants to talk about Frank?) Embrace the fiction…

Closing Credits: Reports of Ronald D. Moore’s executive-producer death have been greatly exaggerated. Like the author’s, we see his name in big, bold font immediately before and after the episode. **I recognized Isaiah Morton by John Quincy Myers’ “Come on, Morton, time waits for no man” during the drinking game (if you didn’t catch him there, Isaiah was the first man to pledge fealty to Jamie), but I can’t put faces to book-familiar names Murdina & Arch Bug, Margaret Chisholm, Duncan Innes, or Ronnie Sinclair. Could you? 🤔

Get your act together, Starz, and offer your app to the rest of the world. *On W Network in Canada I’m able to start watching Outlander 25 hours after Starz app users in the USA and Puerto Rico start watching it. Of course when you change your cable package without subscribing to W Network and discover your thinking it’s available for free preview in February is a mistake, 75 hours extends to 85 hours, minimum, what with having to wait till morning to call to subscribe. Blah blah blah. 🧀 🧀 🧀 to accompany the whine.

Note: If you choose to read my recap/review(s), and think, “Of course she’s all positive and happy about the show; she wouldn’t say shite if her mooth was full of it,” you’re sadly mistaken. Few things come more naturally to me than being negative and critical. I grew up in an environment where, if you have nothing nice to say, you make sure everyone can hear it. I wrestle with the ghost of that environment every time I open my mouth. I refuse to let it haunt my blog. #TV #Fiction #Fun
