you’re free to’t judge a show by its pilot.
I stood up and applauded, I loudly (startling the animals with whom I reside) yelled ROMANCE!
It was a very exciting time for all parties involved.
You cant ever judge a show by its pilot.
Remember, the pilot isnt for you and isnt for me.
It isnt even for your grandmother who tends to prefer marathons ofNCISand softly baked apple dishes.
Pilots are written for T.V.
They are often broad and packed to the gills.
They hold the viewers hand, because they are assuming the viewer doesnt understand the basics of television storytelling.
You owe it to the makers of a show to watch at least three episodes.
Thats why Id ask you to patient withOutlander.
They are plentiful and unnecessary.
With any luck, this is something that will dissipate as the show goes on.
There was very much aWizard of Ozfeel to the production.
The cast is perfect.
Caitriona Balfe is dead-on awesome as Claire and Sam Heughan is a great Jamie.
We didnt get time for a real chemistry check between the two, but I can see that existing.
I hate being wrong.
Its worth noting that Starz should be applauded for embracing Claires sexuality, and not backing away from it.
The other surprise for me was Tobia Menzies portrayal of Frank and Jack Randall.
That said Menzies clearly enjoyed sinking his teeth into the juicy and malevolent role of Black Jack.
I cant wait to see more.
