The following might look spoiler-y. Proceed with caution. I am a sucker for romance. I write that sentence unabashedly. I like rom-coms, romance novels, steamy tomes with a plot that helps me catch my breath until I get breathless again. How can you tell Outlander has returned to television? Season 3 follows the plot of Voyager, … Continue reading Music Monday: Skyboat Song by Bear McCreary (Outlander Opening Titles Season 3)

The Outlandish Sunday of The Walking Dead
After Thanksgiving with the family, I headed over to S's place to watch the season première of The Walking Dead. It's safe to say what I will say next, and it applies to Outlander, will contain spoilers for both shows. Why write about both? On one hand, it represents two sides of my tastes. I … Continue reading The Outlandish Sunday of The Walking Dead
