I’ve been trying to figure out the time jump in my mind and the are various clues. For instance, Fergus wife and just born baby were still in Fayetteville at the end of season four, and Roger has just returned to Bree at River Run with their newborn baby. We don’t know how manny settlers were at the Ridge, but Murtaugh and others were already reaching out to Scots in the Carolinas to move and settle there with the promise of land without the rents and taxes of more settled areas. By the size of the settlers, it’s impractical to think only six months had past. By the time season five begins, enough time has passed, to attracted what has to be a couple hundred settlers, for the wedding to be planned, for the big house to ba mostly finished, and for invites to be sent out to travelers such as Governor Tyron, Lord John and Aunt Jocasta, and for Aunt Jocasta to be wooed by Duncan Innis. So my guess is two to two and a half years, given travel in those days, and how long it took by carriage, or horseback. That amount of time would smooth out who was where and who was living where as this episode began.

Murtaugh is one of those who knew about Claire and Brianna, not sure if he knew about Roger as a time traveler. I don’t think particulars were shared with him. But it’s implied Jamie has been told more than the basic generalizations. His decision to have a Gathering type oath taking by the Ridge community and the use of the fiery cross becomes sheer genius. Given the need for a surgery for Claire to treat patients, I can see an in story explanation for the size of the house. The BTS images of the interior are just breathtaking not in any sense of grandeur but the attention to detail.

I just checked starz.com in Firefox and signed in without any problems. as to Amazon Prime, You now have several alternatives in addition to that streaming service. AT&T TV Now has that add on available as a subscription, as does Apple + TV. I have all three of those streaming services, but I subscribed directly with STARZ when Outlander started, and have kept it separate. The cost remains about the same no matter which service you chose.

I’m also one who had no issue with this version of “The Skye Boat Song.” Given the gathering of the Ridge community at the wedding, and Jamie’s use of the Gathering’s customs from pre-1745 Highlands, an a capella choral rendition made sense narratively and fits the way Bear has rearranged the song over the seasons of half seasons.

It’s quite evident that production found a way to cut down on the Gathering as shown in the book. Virtually no complaints and all cheers to the episode itself. Looks as if we’re seeing more of Lord John this season and it does seem as if William Ransom has apparently been sent off to London fr his education.

According to the various social media accounts that are Outlander related. STARZ has released the season five premiere episode early for Valentine’s Day as of 12 AM EST, Friday the 14th.

Keep in. Ind Chinall was a writer on the first series of Torchwood and the head writer for the second series. My own feeling has been that once Chibnall became the show runner for Doctor Who, it was a matter of time before Captain Jack returned to Who. At least Chibnall knows how to write for the character, which probably explains why he’s listed as the co-writer for this episode.

As to the alternate timeline’s depiction of the development of lunar bases, etc. Keep in mind that after the Apollo 11 landing, and the others that followed through Apollo 17, NASA did have plans for a permanent lunar base, those plans were looking at a nuclear power plant to be put on the Moon; solar power was in its infancy with no certainty that solar power technology would be ready. And without a doubt, the paranoia over Soviet behavior would have been overt. Hence, the deportation storyline because of perceived possible espionage within NASA. NASA was created to be able to maintain a civilian space program independent of the military. That became more apparent after Apollo in our history when NASA pursued Skylab and then the Space Shuttle, and the military began developing its own shuttle-light program, which till is in place today as an unmanned program using its own shuttle design for extended missions. Soon as far as the epilogue is concerned it’s totally consistent with was in the drawing boards has the politians not abandoned manned missions to the Moon.

Seems to me this is a season finale set up for a second season around these same characters.

As I recall having grown up during this era, many of those space plans were on the drawing board until budget misers decided we couldn’t afford manned space flight to the moon or the solar system, including manned bases of the moon. The reality led towards joint space missions and the ISS instead. I suspect they were going to wait until Ed got back, which was a matter of days.

Amazon made the entire final season available a day earlier than announced.

World on Fire completed its first series on BBCOne on Sunday, and the BBC confirmed a second series at the end of the first series finale.

From what I recall, in Arrow, until now, they didn’t get involved with time travel, and before the monitor, really didn’t get into parallel Earths, except for E2 Laurel, and prior crossovers. So I’m not surprised they didn’t call the time ship and I think William was remembering Felicity left but even he didn’t know about the pocket universe Felicity was placed in by the Monitor in 7-22. None of that is an issue with me. Episode itself is clearly the best this season, and maybe one of the best of the series.

Amazon Prime has all the Bourne films, including the last one, Jason Bourne (just checked) and a lot about project Threadstone can be gleaned through all of the five films. The creators of the series, are taking their clues from the novels Lundrum wrote back in the 1960s, which spawned an earlier film in the early 1970s, and the Lundrum didn’t care for, hence his involvement until his death in the Matt Damon version.

To add to my previous post. It wasn’t the hatch on the barn floor per se that caused the old man’s suspicion, it was the electronic ping going off steadily, which led him to that hatch. I doubt redhead could have lived there all this time without going mad. And she did shut off the source of the sound as soon as she got down the silo and killed the old man.

I’ve been thinking about that bit ever since the episode was aired as a preview 10 days before. The present day is more or less 45 years after redhead lost her little finger in the fight with John in 1973. Presumably, Siletto Six was once of the first soviet ICBMs that were taken out of service under treaty and the powers at the time built the farm over it, and let redhead have it to live on after her disability. Given that many soviet warheads were not accounted for after the end of the USSR, the scenario is entirely plausible.

The EP’s post episode interview made clear the end of E2 was cleared with the Flash production team. It made sense that E2 Laurel escaped with Oliver and Diggle she she fully knew of E1 and had been there. Oliver did get the crystals so that mission was accomplished. As to FTA, the article mentions a new title for the spinoff that implies good news for FTA and for me, William in particular. The writing for the flash forwards based on this episode is tighter, probably because they don’t have to make it last for 22 episodes. And I’m not convinced we won’t see Tommy before Crisis; I think we will. At least E2 Tommy figured out Oliver wasn’t from E2, which made that eyeball to eyeball scene interesting.

I have to note, as confirmed in the closing credits, that Trevor Stines (Jason) did have a on screen cameo, as one of the spirits led by Archie’s grandpa, when they tell Archie he needs to bring Fred back. The episode itself was well executed. The last similar situation I can remember was “The Quarterback” episode of Glee. These two episode had a similar tone, I guess is the word I’m looking for, and I'm hoping the Riverdale production team used to time to reset the long term plans for the series more skillfully than Ryan Murphy’s team was able to do for Glee. In the latter case, I don’t think it ever recovered.

World on Fire is a forthcoming drama series from the BBC about the lives of ordinary people during World War Two, starring Helen Hunt and Sean Bean. I noticed today from a social media post including a gif) from Brian J Smith (Sense8, Threadstone) that he is also in the featured cast. It is also scheduled to air on PBS through its Masterpiece franchise. A promo release today from that sources labels it as coming soon. Here’s the PBS promo: PBS Masterpiece promo for World on Fire

That is an excellent promo, especially using the vocal excerpt from JFK’s “Moon” speech from 1961.

OToday’s the day many AI Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon fans have been wanting. “Almost Heaven” his original song that he performed twice on this last season of American Idol, has been released as a download on various streaming services worldwide. His first post-Idol album “Namesake” is scheduled for release as a download and on vinyl very early next year.

Somebody was mart in not allowing SYFY make decisions on renewing this show so it could finish their story. (After The Expanse which has a new home, and Krypton which is still looking, I don’t trust SYFY at all.) I loved the main cast trio which is why I watched to begin with, and I’m glad Pip lives! There is a place for this kind of genre series. And I need more Luke MacFarlaine!

I haven’t been on the site much lately, but my impression of the issue I reported was a combination of a lot of linked social media material and a lot of sever demand at the same time, that created the problem. (From my past experience at other forums over the years where I had admin or global mod status, it’s usually the combination.) At worse we’ll find out the next time there’s a huge number of social media and media links being posted on the same threads for certain shows all at once.

We have a premiere date for season 5: https://tvline.com/2019/08/29/outlander-season-5-premiere-date-starz/
