MOP VIDEO: "Mercy Shall Follow Me" Episode 510 RECAP
My Outlander Purgatory's Carol and Tracey are back to recap the latest episode of Season 5 of Outlander, the Starz series based on Diana Gabaldon's best selling book series. Join us as we break down every moment (and then some), including how the fact that we’re not in Scotland has made us especially depressed (and a bit drunker); why we’re just realizing now that Ross Poldark is gone for good; why season 4 was a much better look on Stephen Bonnet (as opposed to this season’s mustache-twirling psycho boy); why we missed Ian’s mad Mohawk skillz; how we felt about the glass guy; the remarkable feat of committing Moby Dick to memory (let alone reading it); why Stephen Bonnet is arguably an antihero; why the idea of a Stephen Bonnet pining for his lost child makes us gag; why OUR Stephen Bonnet is NOT crazy; what the whole Bonnet/Bree storyline had in common with Little House on the Prairie (and OMG Michael Landon: hot AF); what it would have been like if Bree had taught Bonnet to read instead; whether this whole “I want the Brady Bunch life” thing was a ruse on Bonnet’s part or not (Carol says yes, Tracey says HELL no); why Philip Wylie is Carol’s new boyfriend; why Duncan and Jocasta’s relationship is questionable; why Bonnet and the lady buyer would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those meddling Frasers; and MUCH, MUCH MORE!!

Join us as we break down every moment (and then some), including why Laura Anderson from Love Island is awesome; whether or not we should be on Cameo; why the John Krasinski #SGNProm was really for older ladies; whether Ian will keep the Mohawk lewk; why we all ARE UP IN THE FACE OF ANYONE WHO EFFS WITH OUR SAM; why the people of the Ridge felt the need to dye everything blue; how JAMMF is just a typical dad of a daughter; why no one could get a shot of a million buffalo just standing there; why Edward Cullen should be around to solve all snake bite emergencies; why it’s a good thing Claire didn’t decide to invent blue jeans; whether or not we know what JAMMF “meant”; why JAMMF really needed that shot of penicillin; what the actual danger of a buffalo is (and whether or not it could really headbutt someone across the backyard); how Claire and JAMMF’s first floor master suite is the envy of all viewers of “House Hunters: Ridge Edition”; why we’ll always take an episode in which Fergus has more than two lines; the meaning behind the Ian/Fergus conversation; what Claire has in common with a crash cart; a deep dive into JAMMF’s psyche; and MUCH, MUCH MORE!!

My Outlander Purgatory's Tracey and Carol are back to recap the latest episode of Season 5 of Outlander, the Starz series based on Diana Gabaldon's best selling book series. Join us as we break down every moment, including what made us literally scream with joy; why we’d be way distracted in Professor Wakefield’s class; what we thought of Bree and Roger’s newfound love of silent films; how Claire would conquer Coronavirus; how much we’d like to check out what’s in Lord John’s box; Jocasta and her lost LOVAH; why Tracey has decided to overlook the This Is Us treatment of Lord John and his ability to travel to the Ridge; why Joanna Gaines must be on the Big House payroll; how Jem is now aging in soap opera years; Bree’s undiscovered musical talents; why the “JAMMF and Claire playing tag with Jem” is everything we didn’t know we needed; how worrying about John Bell as a Mohawk kept us up at night (needlessly, thank god!!); why the reunion was a little underwhelming for us (and don’t at us, bro!!); why the tarot cards raised our eyebrows; why Lizzie has become the new Daisy from Downton; a debate on the bond between Ian and Marsali; the underlying meaning of the silent movie; the AMAZING performance from John Bell; and MUCH, MUCH MORE!!

MOP Video: Season 5, Episode 507 "The Ballad of Roger Mac" RECAP
My Outlander Purgatory's Carol and Tracey are back to recap the latest episode of Season 5 of Outlander, the Starz series based on Diana Gabaldon's best selling book series. Join us as we break down every moment of this AMAZING episode, including all things Coronapocalypse, including whether or not it can be used as a diet (sorry y’all for THAT tangent, but it’s unavoidable these days…fast forward to around minute 13 if you just can’t take it); the tour de force performance that Sam Heughan delivers; the send-off that Murtaugh deserved all along; the ill-advised timing of that “Previously on” segment with Bonnet throwing the ill overboard; why Rog should be worried every time he looks at Jem; Jamie Fraser’s words to live by; why Claire’s words to the Browns would have sent MOP Tom OFF. THE. EDGE; why Jamie is soooorrrrrta responsible for Murtaugh’s end; why cutting his hand a few hours before wielding a gun may be a second bad decision for JAMMF; why social distancing was probably a good idea for Roger; why Tryon’s present to Jamie KILLED US (AND makes JAMMF’s butt look HUGE); which one of us recognized the identity of Buck and which did not; why Claire’s Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ TOTALLY worked; why Edward Cullen was sorely needed in this episode (and which Outlander character would make the best vampire); who Duncan LaCroix will come back as; the fantasticness that is that last JAMMF/Tryon scene; how JAMMF’s actions were like Salma Hayek’s during the Harvey Weinstein years; how skipping an Outlander episode next week is cruel and unusual punishment; and MUCH MUCH MORE!!

My Outlander Purgatory's Carol and Tracey are back to recap the latest episode of Season 5 of Outlander, the Starz series based on Diana Gabaldon's best selling book series. Join us as we break down every moment, including how we’re faring with social distancing and all things Coronavirus; Claire’s impeccable Jackie O ‘60s fashion sense; why the Claire and Jamie montage was the most EVERYTHING thing since the Bella and Edward montage in Breaking Dawn II; why Graham “Not Tobias” Menzies rocked our world; why (WHY?WHY?WHY?) Fergus has once again reverted to the background; how well Claire did the “A Little Bit Alexis” hand washing before Kezzie’s surgery; how Roger resembles Rainman (hint: they both have a particular talent) and why he needs to find the Ridge Vegas; where Bree went wrong with her Roger discussion; why Claire has better priest conversations thank Phoebe Waller-Bridge; why not telling Roger that Bonnet is still alive was maybe ill-advised, Bree; why this is a Javert-y special episode of Outlander; how JAMMF is cheating on Lord John with Lefty and the chess-playing; why JAMMF as a cold blooded killer is not sitting well with us; it’s ADSO y’all!!; and MUCH MUCH MORE!!

Awesome Droughtlander Meal in NYC
Oooh y'all...I just found fun pics of my trip with Tracey to Fraunces Tavern in NYC this past fall.
(Remember our ridiculous hotel room video when Tracey was none too happy that the hotel didn't have a refrigerator for our leftover, authentic 18th century chicken? 😂)
Fraunces is the oldest tavern in NYC and our authentic, 18th century dinner was faaaabulous! I highly recommend it!! Take a look!

Fine Scottish Cursing According to Buzzfeed
Holy crap, this Buzzfeed article entitled "16 Of The Very Greatest, Sweariest Scottish Insults Of All Time" was just sent to me by Hugh from Scotland. It was written by Hilary Mitchell, the Edinburgh-based Buzzfeed editor in Scotland. It's seriously one of the most hilarious things I've ever read. Check out her page for some really great Scottish hilarity. (But I warn ye, some of it is mucho curserific. You've been warned!)

What Time is It?
SPOILER ALERT: Dinna read unless you've read Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon.
So I watching the Outlander Season 2 premiere last night. Hubby was flipping channels, saw it, and stayed there. Either I have him trained, or that man is a bonafide Outlander fan! 😂
And as I was watching, I saw something I hadn't remembered from the first thousand times I watched it:
Claire realizing Jamie is dead. No, worse...Claire realizing that Jamie's been dead this...whole...time. Just like me! Just like ALL of us!
When I started Dragonfly in Amber, Tracey made me read Page 1 with her on the phone. And then I got upset and started to cry.
"Jamie's DEAD!", I said.
"Jamie was dead the day you started the series", Tracey said.
And last night, I watched Claire come to that realization, too. 😢

LochCarron: Clan Battlefield Map
Got an email from Tamara at LochCarron regarding their new, interactive Clan Battlefield Map:
At Lochcarron, we have created an interactive battlefield map that details all the Clan wars that took place across Scotland from the 12th to the 18th Centuries. An added feature of being able to filter battles in Outlander and by the different clans.
http://www.lochcarron.co.uk/scottish-clan-battles-map/
We thought this would be a great way to uncover the rich History of Scotland and it’s famous Clans. Users are able to click on the various battlefield spots to uncover more information on the battle itself and the clans involved.
Wow. This map is so neat (and kindof chilling.😱) You can click each red circle to read more info about each individual battle. (And I know which ones you're all going to click first. 💔)
Thanks Tamara!

Wow. This map is so neat (and kindof chilling.😱) You can click each red circle to read more info about each individual battle. (And I know which ones you're all going to click first. 💔)
Thanks Tamara!

Building off the Grid
SPOILER ALERT: Dinna read unless you've read "The Drums of Autumn" by Diana Gabaldon.
I am watching a guy named Joe Donovan on DIY ("Building off the Grid") build his own house – from scratch – in extremely rural Montana. Why am I mentioning this? It is reminding me of a certain awesome, fictitious couple who came to the US with nothing but a dream and the clothes on their back, and built a life for themselves on The Ridge.

Holy crap, I think I'm tearing up. ❤️

KILTY as Charged 😂
I wasn't even shopping for a book, let alone book about a hot Scot, but there it was, and she had me at "A Highlander followed her home...Can she keep him?"
And the tag line about Haggis? Pretty damned amusing.
Kilty as Charged? Eeek, kindof silly, kindof intriguing.
Has anyone read this? It only has 43 reviews as of this moment, but it gets 5 stars...so I'm kindof inclined to give it a try!
*Like all bloggers who link to merchandise, I earn a few cents here or there from Amazon, Google, or a specific company if you buy anything on their websites after clicking on my links. It's not a lot, but it buys me a latte or a Wawa soda that's chock full of caffeine and helps me keep on blogging. :) So THANKS!
