    Perpetual Adoration

    Season 5 Episode 5

    Written for Television by Alyson Evan and Steve Koracki

    Directed by Meera Menon

    It all feels very Greek tragedy with the webs and spinners. 

    Claire is contemplative, hesitant, and pushed to discover how important a single patient was to her finding her way back to Jamie. 

    Jamie, as ever, a man of honor, duty, and blood defends his family from incursion, exposure, and takes a life.

    Roger's insecurities get the upper hand yet again before he is wisely counseled by Claire and the picture comes into clearer view for him moving forward.

    Brianna's own webs of deceit unravel and she is exposed to Roger before they can make peace and work together. 

    And for now and forever because of his introduction, Adso will be known as "Murder Kitty".

  • 199 - From the Beardsley's to Brownsville S5 E3 E4

    In this podcast episode I discuss both 503 Free Will and 504 Company We Keep.

    Roger is having incredible growing pains in the 18th century both in his relationship with Jamie and in his feelings of adequacy and fitting in.

    Brianna is processing through her trauma and assault even more deeply now that she's learned Stephen Bonnet is alive. Her fear is causing her to panic and not think clearly. In this, Marsali proves to be a friend.

    The Beardsley home and property are ill-kept with several secrets within. Jamie and Claire discover a shocking truth when they try to free the Beardsley brothers from their indenture. In the end, they leave with the proper papers, a herd of goats, and a wee bonnie bundle. 

    Brownsville is rife with conflict, sorrow, adultery, an interesting broadsheet, and merriment. 

    Claire and Jamie make a profound decision that draws them closer together.

    And as ever, love, foolish or wise, wins.

    Season 5 Episode 1

    "The Fiery Cross"

    Written for Television by Matthew B. Roberts

    Directed by Stephen Woolfenden

    The people of Fraser's Ridge, friends, and family gathered to celebrate the wedding of Roger MacKenzie and Brianna Ellen Randall Fraser. The big house was almost complete. Memories were shared and made, drinking games, feasting, dancing, romance, threat, treachery, bonding, politics, oaths, and a release of oath all happened in the two days lived onscreen.

    Season 5 Episode 1 is the strongest opening episode only behind Season 1 Episode 1.  It was written with the deft hand of Mattew B. Roberts leading the writers' room. It inhabited the spirit of the written word and achieved an adaptation that stood beautifully on its own with well-crafted storytelling that requires no external explanation. 

    From storyline references, character development, foreshadowing, costuming, hair, acting, music, variations of emotion and tone, all the way to the set design, no elements are left wanting. 

    This season is looking to be a spectacular ride.
