Outlander Season 3 Episode 6

Are you sleeping with this French lady, Jamie? Boy, you really have had more action than Claire in the last 20 years. The virgin is no more.

I love this music.

Jamie looks good in a tricorn.

Really, Jamie? You bypass "potential customer" and go straight to "someone's here to kill me"?

He has a new Angus and Rupert!

Goiter-boy has a mouth on him. Didn't he say he was in service to Jamie?

Sam Heughan really learned how to do this. A method actor, is he. Aren't you glad you just press a button nowadays?

Aww, he has glasses! Cute!

Faintin' time. This time, we see it in slow-motion.

Ha! Nice use of the printing press.

Wouldn't blame ya if you had, Jamie.

It's a bit of a gray area, Claire.

Yep. She still has your ring.

Aw, he asked to kiss her. Squee.

Does he man he hasn't kissed anyone in a very long time, or Claire specifically?

Um, how are you going to explain photography to him, Claire? And what, gemstones disappear during time travel, but photos from the future are fine?

Yeah, Jamie. You look hot. But it's adorable that you're embarrassed.

Shout-out to Faith. She hasn't been forgotten.

So sad that he has to learn about twenty years of his daughter's life in five minutes.

Well, in 1768, Brianna might as well be naked. To be fair, that's how most dads would react, no matter the year.

He kind of has hobbit feet.

She sure danced around the Frank situation.

FERGUS! She might have raised Brianna with Frank, and he might have impregnated Geneva, but Fergus is theirs together. Love isn't always biological.

Yeah, Jamie. Remember that French lady that was fixing your cravat this morning?

Kinky, Mr. Willoughby.

Who's this guy?

Jamie's not just a pretty face. And when did Claire have time to learn Chinese?

Madame is pissed.

Well, Claire's certainly getting a tour of Edinburgh's brothels. Gee Jamie, you really know how to show a lady a good time.

You're kinda killing the mood here, buddy. Don't ask why; just be happy she did come back. Heck, the how is more interesting, anyway.

Mirroring their wedding night. Love. It.

Everybody, including the audience, is breathing hard, but these two still have all their clothes on.

Hmm, I forgot that women wore cravats, or rather fichus.

Who tied her corset, I wonder? Brianna? Because that's a little too...familial.

Caitriona looks like she has a black tooth in this light.

In this episode, James Fraser discovers the wonders of zippers. Because duh, Claire wasn't about to go completely period-piece this time.

Twenty years, and nothing has sagged.

Ouch! You really do need glasses, Jamie.

This is awkward, fun sex...and then it gets hawt.

Sorry Frank. You tried, but this is what she's been missing.

She's okay with treason, but don't ever cheat, buddy.

She still hasn't asked if any of his friends survived Culloden.

Sigh. They miss Brianna, but for Claire it's deeper.

Madame doesn't like ladies talking to her whores. Or is she protective of Claire because she's Jamie's wife?

Trouble always follows Claire. We'll have to wait till next week to find out what happens.

Victoria Season 2 Episode 8

I could watch Tom Hughes play for hours.

They did a good job subtly aging Jenna Coleman.

Yeah, he told his wife. Deal with it, bucko.

Wellington is Team Peele.

Cock-blocked by your uncle. For once, I like something Leopold did.

Five years? Dream on, Albert.

How long will Albert continue to dodge his uncle?

Ew. That combo would make anyone sick.

Albert can admit when he's wrong.

The duke don't play.

Vicki is definitely Daddy's little girl.

Shut it, Baroness.

I thought no one else recognized him, but apparently not.

Point to Albert.

Are we sure this doctor knows what he's doing?

That was a very diplomatic answer, Harriet.

Someone get this child some Tylenol.

I had no idea Parliament voted that way.

Oh, damn. I got a bad feeling about this.

Peele did say no one would try to shoot him inside the House.

Bye-bye, Drummond. Pity your "friend" doesn't know he's been stood up indefinitely.

Sorry, Your Highnesses. They're happy your daughter is alive and well, but they've got bigger problems.

Poor Peele. Turns out, he's got feelings.

Duchess! I've missed you.

The duchess knows what's what. Sorry, Alfred. You're still in the closet.

Are you really going to propose after a death, Ernest?

Ewww.

The Baroness is the definition of an old maid.

Alfred has to be a pallbearer?! Poor guy.

"Some bad habits." Mm-hmm, yeah.

Holy crap. Penge has a soul, people!

Whoa. A lot will happen next season. Did Albert fall in some ice or something?

Victoria Season 2 Episode 7

Albert is literally a prince among men. He saves his wife from a shooter, then invents a bullet-proof umbrella because she insists on going out again. The only shame is that there are three people in this marriage: Victoria, Albert and Peele.

Seriously, Club-Foot?

Ringlets are not a good look for you, Harriet.

Sorry, Baroness. You are so stuck in England.

Don't call Scotland England, Albert. That's a big no-no.

Oy, the closet gays.

The Duke of Athol has an army, even today.

Cock-a-leekie is yummy.

The servants are having way more fun. Could this poet be more depressing?

Ha, Victoria elbowed her husband to start the clapping. Love it.

I guess there will be no sexytimes in Scotland for these two...Okay, I was wrong. Turns out bagpipes make Victoria hot.

Fog can be useful. Victoria looks gorgeous with her hair down.

The duke is freaking out. Then again, who really wants to be known as the guy who lost the Queen in a forest?

Men never ask for directions, even two hundred years ago.

Heavy dresses and crossing a stream on a horse do not mix.

Someone is certainly the Duchess of Sensitivity. Not.

The crofters have no idea who they have in their house.

Skerrett deserves a little fun.

Haha! Albert's her secretary at the "factory"!

Wealth and a palace are not all they are cracked up to be. Sometimes it's nice to learn how to darn a sock.

Idiot soldier. You rode all over the Highlands looking for her, and you don't even know what she looks like?

Now that is a hair ornament!

The ceilidh is definitely more fun.

Never go to Culloden, Duke. You will be struck by lightning.

Ms. Cook is okay with the gay.

Back to real life.

Aww. At least Francatelli filleted the fish for them.


Victoria Season 2 Episode 6

The potato famine has hit Ireland.

What a depressing church service. The minister is definitely of the fire-and-brimstone variety.

It was definitely not a good thing to be Irish and living in England, and a Catholic at that.

The real Ernest was married by 1842, but had VD.

What a twat. Even Peele is like, "What did you say?"

Whoa, girlie. That was dangerous. But effective.

Eww.

I feel so bad for the doctor. He has a duty to his parish, but also a duty to his family.

Seriously. SOMEONE STAB THIS GUY. Victoria is wishing she could send him to the guillotine.

Mercury? To treat venereal disease?

The doctor quoted the Bible. Mike drop.

This is the governing body of an empire? Makes you wonder how anything got done.

There's poor, and then there's starving.

You were a gigolo, weren't you, Francatelli.

Funny thing, when the prince consort makes you eat your words.  Albert's not just a pretty face. He makes it a point to read up on all kinds of matters.

I do love the good doctor.

Haha, Peele is so awkward.

The doctor's wife is not much of a helpmeet.

See, Penge? It's just a toilet.

Point goes to Traill!

Poor Ms. Cleary. She's likely to never see her family again.

It's a heck of a thing that the doctor got sick doing his Christian duty.

Outlander Season 3 Episode 5

Aw, did Claire make that ornament?

Hello! This is worse than ER. Is that a fork?

Have faith, Joe.

Whoa, Brianna can draw!

This is a good professor.

The ghost of Frank.

Did she meet a man, Joe? You have no idea.

I love the cars of the sixties. Even the taxis were chic.

Sorry, Roger. You've come at a really bad time.

Leaving the guy who thinks he's your boyfriend alone? Not classy, Brianna.

Holy---! That is so freaky.

Claire's face...

The choice is between the Claire the woman and Claire the mother.

Outlander meets Bones.

Nice mention of the Caribbean. They just snuck it right in there.

Brianna looks good in tartan. And she's clearly destined to be an architect.

It's true that history is fluid, but some facts are set in stone.

Frank was shtupping a student?!

I love this scene between Claire and Brianna.

Anybody else notice how mother and daughter wear tartan a lot now?

She still wears Jamie's ring!

If you still love Jamie sure as hell still loves you.

Ha, this conversation with Joe is hilarious! Nowadays, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Claire the hospital thief.

Highland women could have used a Singer.

Wow. Who knew Claire could design clothes?

I love how Brianna always calls Claire "Mama" now.

 I wonder how two people would be able to go through the stones. Do you hold hands?

Brianna kind of has to marry Roger now. Who else would understand her?

Omigod!! I would have liked to see how she made it from the stones to Edinburgh, but I'll live.

How is it that the stones take you to the exact year and place you want to go? She could have ended up in the Civil War South, for all she knows.

Beautiful shingle, Jamie.

JAMIE! (And just like a man, he hasn't aged a bit.)

Bwahaha! Guess Jamie needs a doctor, stat!

Outlander Season 3 Episode 4

Sawny makes his "first" appearance in the post-credits.

Aw, Fiona likes Roger. Brianna thinks it's cute, too. But when did we bring Fiona in on our secret?

Caitriona Balfe is sure to age well.

Well that was easy.

Oh, John took Jamie to England?

Interesting queue you got there, "Alexander". It's not as sexy as your French one.

Aw, don't worry, buddy. Brianna isn't really lost.

The girl knows cars.

Oh, we're calling prison "employment" now? Got it.

I like this girl. I didn't catch her name.

Ha, Jamie's trying to tell her John's gay!

Sorry, Joe. She's got Jamie-on-the-brain. Good luck with your surgery. Self-confidence is clearly not a problem.

Geneva is going to wash that hand with lye the second this guy is gone. If she doesn't throw up first. That's what you get for being a rude, insufferable human being.

Someone's hatched a plan. Five bucks says she spooked the horse herself.

Point to Jamie.

Yep, John still has the hots for Jamie.

Brotherly discord is afoot.

Okay, Geneva is clearly evil. But you have to admit, that was brilliant blackmail.

Yeah, no one heard the world's loudest door.

"You may disrobe." There she goes with the sexy talk.

Well, at least she got the butt first. That came out wrong...

And the student becomes the teacher. I do not think Claire would be proud, strangely enough.

Trying to explain hormones to an eighteenth-century maiden is hard.

Ruh-roh. Jamie, you are the father!

Ah, the pearls.

Now that's a house!

Poor thing. Claire probably could have saved her, ironically.

Jamie finally has a son. Who wants to bet he has red hair?

Who let that guy near a knife?

Er...Jamie just killed a peer of the realm. While on probation.

You're a good woman, Your Ladyship.

Well, the boy got Jamie's face, but not his red hair.

So close.

That lady reminds me of when Claire was a traveling minstrel.

Yeah, Jamie. Must you go?

So Isobel married the gay. Who had better keep his hands off Willie.

It's sad that Jamie lives in a world when nothing is given for free.

Depressing ending. I hope Willie remembers him as he grows up.
