I just returned from a 3 1/2-day road trip to South Carolina, visiting historic sites related to the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War. I had a great time, really glad I made the effort to go. Look here for details, including lots of photos!

The Wake County Public Libraries (my local library here in Raleigh, NC) will be doing a series of eight #OUTLANDER themed programs via Zoom, starting in late October! Online registration is required, but it's free. Should be fun! Look here for details.

I don't know exactly.

Karen Henry @outlandishobserv.bsky.social · Aug 29

Not sure we will see more of Brian McCardie. The actor died during filming of BOMB in 2024 and they announced his role will not be recast.

Karen Henry @outlandishobserv.bsky.social · Aug 29

I have tried hard to keep an open mind. I just can't take it anymore.

Karen Henry @outlandishobserv.bsky.social · Aug 29

The show badly needs some humor or lighter moments!

For #OUTLANDER_STARZ fans in the US, Netflix is now showing OUTLANDER Episodes 701-708 as available for viewing!

We will have to wait quite a while longer (until January 2027, probably) to see the second half of Season 7.

I tried repeatedly and could only hear the very faintest sound of singing. I have hearing issues, and I have come to the conclusion that my hearing is not good enough to distinguish either the words or the tune of the song in that scene. Glad to hear others can make out what song it is, though!

Karen Henry @outlandishobserv.bsky.social · Aug 10

Great! We'll look forward to seeing you on the forum soon!

Karen Henry @outlandishobserv.bsky.social · Aug 9

Thanks, I'll try again to find it.
