We are days away from the second to the last episode of Starz highly acclaimed series, Outlander (starring Sam Heughan). Book readers have been looking forward to these episodes with a mixture of dread and curiosity. Will the writers, producers, and actors do justice to one of the most graphic scenes ever written? Those lucky enough to have viewed the last two episodes have said that the episodes left them, “sobbing, gasping for breath.”
Starz has declared #BlackJackIsBack the official hashtag for Episode 115, which has left some viewers unsure whether they want to use a hashtag that touches on such a sensitive plot point. But, we are left wondering how graphic these two episodes will actually be. You’ll find no spoilers here, however, early media reports suggest that even book readers will be shocked by the events that unfold.
Needless to say, you’ll find me huddled in bed, clutching a box of tissues…just in case.
*Outlander airs in the U.S. on Starz on Saturdays at 9pm in your time zone. Episode 115 airs this Saturday, May 16th. Memorial Day weekend, you can watch a marathon of the entire season. The Outlander season finale airs Saturday, May 30th.
I am with you Heidi, I don’t want to see Jamie/Sam brought to his kneesand destroyed but I am also excited to watch how these actors handle this groundbreaking material for tv. I will have my tissues and scotch handy
I’m really looking forward to it. Whether you’re a book purist or not, there’s something about seeing awesome actors bringing incredible scenes to the screen.
From every review I’ve read. It’s gonna be graphic, and groundbreaking. Bottle of Scotch and a box of kleenex will be by my side.
