Full spoilers for Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 1 Episode 6 — "Birthright." This one is a lot: a superstition-soaked birth episode that's impressively made… and still wildly uncomfortable. We break down Julia's labor under "punishment" framing, Davina's POV shift, Henry's grief spiral with Sema, and why Arch Bug's "human moment" might be pure manipulation. Kilt Ratings: Mary — 3.9 | Blake — 2.5 BomB Impact: 0/5 (for us, it doesn't really enrich Outlander proper)   What we cover: The episode's core vibe: "uncomfortable" (and why that matters) Julia's labor + the show's superstition/mob energy Davina's POV: accusation → defense (and why it mostly works) Henry + Sema: grief spiral, reality-slip, and the line between heartbreak and betrayal Arch Bug: the mask slips The candlelight + cake scene (best palate cleanser) Good / Bad / Great + listener feedback Send in listener feedback: Leave a comment wherever you're listening Or leave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/MaryandBlake Join the NerdClan (bonus content + support): https://jointhenerdclan.com Subscribe & follow: Website: https://www.maryandblake.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/outlander-cast-the-outlander-podcast-with-mary-blake/id907466068 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2mTWo46yZxtZThyxxSjpYD Slàinte Mhath.

Mary & Blake recap and give their reaction to episode 1.05 of Outlander: Blood of My Blood, entitled "Needfire" They break down Ellen being crowned May Queen while secretly handfasting with Brian (and yes… doing the business in a church), the show's gorgeous "hands" visual motif, and why this episode finally feels like classic early-Outlander magic again. Meanwhile, Julia and Henry keep missing each other by inches, Davina detonates the pregnancy truth, Lord Lovett gets nastier, and Murtagh—day-drunk and heartbroken—pulls the most catastrophic "wrong name" slip possible. Plus: the Stone of Destiny, the creepy prophecy vibes (two yolks, anyone?), and Blake's Outlandish Theory of the Week about a prophecy misread that could be pointing straight at Claire + Jamie. And of course, Five Questions closes it out with bonfire drinks, Beltane vs. Fourth of July chaos, and Mary's absolutely unhinged candy-cane party confession. Also in this episode: Beltane as a turning-point episode: liminal, smoky, romantic, and loaded with consequences Ellen & Brian fully ignite: handfasting, passion, and why their bond finally clicks Murtagh's spiral: rejection, humiliation, and the "Ellen" slip heard 'round the Highlands Julia's mounting danger: the pregnancy reveal, Davina's heartbreak, and Lovett's threats The witchy woman & prophecy: double-yolk symbolism, Claire callouts, and uneasy foreshadowing Stone of Destiny talk: myth, destiny, and whether the show is winking at the parent series Segments you love: Kilt Ratings, BomB Impact, Good/Bad/Great, Outlandish Theory, and Five Questions   SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.

And though we were not a fan of this story line, Harriet Slater really knocked it out of the park as Ellen. Lots of love, Amelia and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

#outlander #bloodofmyblood In England 1917, Julia Moriston's job at the Redactment Office during World War I changes her life when she comes across a letter from a troubled soldier. The resulting correspondence with Lt. Henry Beauchamp becomes a lifeline for them both as they try to hold on to hope amidst death and destruction. After a whirlwind courtship, marriage, and parenthood, they are on holiday in Scotland when a car accident puts them on a life-altering path. When Julia - and then Henry - each stumble through the stones at Craigh Na Dun and arrive in the early 1700s, each must figure out how to navigate through this strange time, while also figuring out how to get back to each other and the daughter they left behind, Claire.

#outlander #bloodofmyblood It is the year 1714, and Red Jacob - the Laird of the MacKenzie clan - has died without naming an heir. His eldest daughter, Ellen, would be the best candidate if she were not a woman. So the clans have gathered to determine which one of his sons, Colum or Douglas, will become Clan Chief. Meanwhile Ellen - who has avoided an arranged marriage with her father's blessing and protection - is now on display for all of the eligible men to vy for. One mysterious stranger catches her eye, but a complicated history between their families may stand in the way of happiness. Join us as we discuss the first episode of the Outlander prequel series, Blood of My Blood, with our friend and guest Dena from Drunk and Blerdy.

Few actors kick off their careers with productions as big as the opportunities Hermione Corfield secured early on. One of her first feature film credits is Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation in which she shares a key scene with Tom Cruise, and soon after came xXx: Return of Xander Cage, and Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. After that, it was the indie crime thriller Rust Creek which earned Corfield a couple of film festivals honors, and then it was the movie that quite firmly solidified her as a must-follow actor for yours truly, the eco-horror movie Sea Fever in which she stars opposite Connie Nielsen and Dougray Scott. Ever since our TIFF 2019 chat for that film, Corfield's been a prime target for Collider Ladies Night and now, with the debut of the Outlander prequel series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, the time has finally come.The new Starz show puts the spotlight on Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Claire Beauchamp's (Caitríona Balfe) parents. For Jamie, it's Jamie Roy's Brian Fraser and Harriet Slater's Ellen MacKenzie, and Claire's parents, Henry Beauchamp and Julia Moriston, are played by Jeremy Irvine and Corfield. Whereas Brian and Ellen's romance starts and remains in the same time period, Henry and Julia experience a significant upheaval when, similar to their daughter, they travel from 1917 to 1714, crossing paths with Brian and Ellen.Soon after a brief chat with Corfield and much of the main ensemble at San Diego Comic-Con, Corfield swung by the Collider Ladies Night studio for an extended conversation about the first two episodes of Season 1, and to offer up a few teases of what's to come. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Time flies when you're time traveling. It's been 11 years since Outlander first premiered on Starz, and the prequel is here to keep the franchise's blood pumping. Blood of My Blood follows the stories of Jamie and Claire's parents. Naturally, the next spin-off will probably trace their grandparents and great-grandparents until we discover everyone is related and Scottish. Take that, 23andMe.Premiering August 8, the show's first two episodes introduce both love stories, one set in WWI England and the other in 1714 Scotland. In this episode, we talk about our favorite and least favorite moments, some trivia, and determine our rating. Tune in, and ang may yer lum reek.Welcome to Today's Episode!
