I’m willing to give Claire’s hair being down in the opening shots a pass, since in the books she and Jamie have been having marathon goodbye-sex all night long, followed by one last quickie with the sounds of British soldiers approaching the camp, after which Claire finally makes a mad dash for the stones… Plenty of logical reasons for her to have lost all of her bobby pins. I am so happy the Frock Flicks team is doing episode by episode recaps for Outlander! Really, it’s all I’ve wanted out of life ever since details about the fabulous costumes of season 2 started leaking. She picks up something metal - I’m unclear whether it’s a bullet shell or something modern? So, let’s tighten our stays, slap on a wig, grab a glass of champagne, and get this soirée started…Ĭlaire wakes up at Craigh na Dun, the standing stones through which she originally traveled through the past. We do have lots of coverage, including a podcast, on the first season, so if you’re interested, check out those posts! I did think for a moment about going back and costume-recapping all of episode one … but then realized we didn’t have enough time.

It’s just one lens through which to watch this fabulous show. But, know that when we talk about that dreaded phrase “historical accuracy,” we’re not doing it to be mean or judgy. We’ll also talk about costume in terms of story, and the deviations that come with this one having the fantasy element of time travel. So, expect us to be talking about the costumes primarily from the point of view of comparison with the real history of the 1740s. You can find the podcast at the bottom of this post, or on iTunes!įor those who aren’t regular Frock Flicks readers: this blog and podcast is all about costumes in historical movies and TV shows, and we approach things from the angle of history. Sarah and I will be recapping every episode this season, both in blog post AND podcast - Sarah is still catching up on season 1, so she’ll be joining Kendra starting with episode 2 next week. We’ll be focusing mostly on the costumes - designed by Terry Dresbach - in our blog posts, but probably tackling both the costumes and the story itself in our podcasts. As your resident Outlander nerd, yes this post should have come sooner! However I was out of town all weekend, so I just got to watch the first episode of Season 2 (electric boogaloo) of Outlander.
