Similarly Devious Turn of Mind
16 oktober 2020 · 45 min
After a brief hiatus, The Sassenach Files is back. Jamie and Claire have returned to Scotland looking for a fresh start only to be sucked back into the Jacobite war machine. Family drama involving Jamie and Jenny’s grandfather, Lord Simon Fraser of Lovat, takes center stage, and Colum MacKenzie joins the party to make strange bedfellows. After Jamie commits to the cause, he uses all his clout to pull his family members into the fight with him, while Claire throws in the towel altogether--allowing people to believe she’s a witch. Join Chelsea as she explores the highs and lows of 208 and discusses why “The Fox’s Lair” was a poor adaptation. Lees meer

But when Fergus tells her what truly caused the duel, she finds a deep enough sea to hurl her inequities into, and she heads to Versailles for a final showdown with King Louis, The Comte St. Germain, and Master Raymond in order to secure Jamie’s release and pardon.

Always Another F***ing War
21 augustus 2020 · 44 min
In this episode of The Sassenach Files, I’m taking a look at 201: “Through A Glass Darkly”. Claire has returned to the 20th century, and no one has any idea what the hell is going on. Deep in her grief, she is struggling to acclimate back to 20th century life, and while Frank is elated his wife has reappeared, the revelation she is pregnant makes it pretty hard to ignore the tall, red-headed elephant in the room. And just when we are getting our bearings, we are thrown back to the 18th century to pick up right where season one left off. Will the physical and emotional whiplash ever end? The numbers are still coming in, but it’s not looking likely… Lees meer

If Ever A Man Needed Killing...
26 juli 2020 · 34 min
In this episode I analyze episode 113 of Outlander “The Watch”. Jamie has taken a rather difficult path to get where he is, and it’s made even more difficult when Horrocks shows up demanding money in exchange for silence. Jenny’s impending delivery, Claire’s admission of potential infertility, and the presence of Taran MacQuarrie and company only serve to ratchet up the tension that was already on high. Lees meer
