Nothing to do/watch tonight? Fear not because the second season of Outlander premiered April 9th, at 9/8c on STARZ.
Warning: The rest of this post contains spoilers for the first season.
Now that Jamie and Claire are safely in Paris and far away from the horrible Black Jack Randall, we think they’ll finally have a little bit of happiness, especially with a baby on the horizon. But no one gets over something so psychologically and physically damaging as the abuse Jamie suffered at the end of Season 1, so it’s highly understandable that he’s “lost his sparkle a little bit – he’s a bit of a shadow.” Nevertheless we’re still hoping for some emotional stability for these two lovers.
Ideally we can get a few questions answered in the Season 2 premiere tonight too.
- Where’s Frank Randall and what is he doing? He’s just been stuck in the future/present/past (it’s the 1940s so it’s kind of all three) this entire time wanting his wife to come back while everyone one else is trying not to get killed 200 years in the past.
- Will Claire and Jamie stop the Jacobite risings? Probably not since that wouldn’t be as interesting but who knows? (People who have read the books, don’t spoil!)
- Is Jamie okay? He has endured so much torment it wouldn’t be a surprise if he’s permanently traumatized.
- Is the Fraser marriage okay? “Paris is not a great place for their relationship,” Sam Heughan adds. “It’s a poisonous place.”
- Is Black Jack Randall dead? Last time we saw him he was getting a hearty helping of meat in the form of a cow stampede so he could be gone, but who knows?
Guess we’ll found out the answers (and probably have a lot more questions) after the season premiere. Fingers crossed for minimal deaths and torture!
