Recap: Outlander Episode 11 “The Devil’s Mark”

Outlander Episode 11 “The Devil’s Mark” (original airdate April 18, 2015) True friendships come to play in Episode 11 of  Outlander “The Devil’s Mark.” The episode starts with Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Geillis Duncan (Lotte Verbeek) being thrown into some dark hole, left wondering where the hell they are. Geillis knows. It’s a thieves’ hole and they will be sharing these tight, cold quarters with a bunch of rats. “You only have yourself to blame for this,” Geillas tells Claire, believing that maybe it was Claire who brought the wardens to her house. So not the case. It’s that damn, […]

Interview with Caitriona Balfe on Geillis Duncan, “she said @#$%ing barbecue”

Oh, I love Outlander’s Geillis Duncan. Wait, hold on, major spoilers ahead if you didn’t watch Outlander, Episode 11 “The Devil’s Mark,” so stop reading. When I interviewed Caitriona Balfe earlier this year I had already screened this episode, one of my personal favorites from the second half of Season 1, where we chatted about the WTF-moment involving Geillis. OK, so who else adores actress Lotte Verbeek? As we witnessed the heated exchange between Claire and Geillis, with Geillis so desperatelly wanting to know the truth about Claire, it was surprising that Claire never caught on to why she was […]

Outlander Episode 10 recap: Oh wait, that’s Jamie down there

Outlander Episode 10 recap: “By the Pricking of My Thumb” (original air date Saturday, April 11): When we last left Claire and Jamie they had made amends with a steamy romp in front of the crackling fire, with an amusing vocabulary review to follow. They both ended up declaring the other their master, and Jamie vowing to never raise a hand to Claire ever again.  As Jamie readied himself to fetch them some food (all that sex leads to an appetite), Claire finds a wrapping of twigs and twine — very voodoo like looking, Blair Witch-style — under their bed.

Outlander Episode 10 preview: Caitriona Balfe calls Laoghaire a “little wench”

In last week’s episode of Outlander, after Jamie, Dougal and Ned got a tongue-lashing from Colum, Jamie headed out to the creek (his secret place since he was a lad) to clear his mind, which was mainly clouded by his rift with Claire. As he skipped rocks into the stream, the sultry young Laoghaire (Nell Hudson) approached, reminding Jamie that he had promised they would speak about his surprising nuptials. While Laoghaire told Jamie it was a gallant act of him to marry Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and spare her from the British, she would have none of it: “You don’t […]

Outlander’s Caitriona Balfe answers our 7 Questions

Outlander star Caitriona Balfe credits bestselling author Diana Gabaldon for the series’ large fan base, but she’s far too modest to admit that fans are just as obsessed with her and her costar Sam Heughan, who bring the beloved characters of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser to life.

We’ll see her learn, she’ll definitely learn from these experiences,” Balfe tells. In a continuation from our earlier interview, the delightful […]

Outlander’s Caitriona Balfe on Sam, fans, new episodes and learning French for Season 2

Caitriona Balfe is stunningly beautiful. Sipping her tea she playfully talks about the second half of Season 1 of Outlander, returning to Starz on Saturday, April 4 at 9pmET. Looking far younger in person than as the head-strong Claire Randall she plays onscreen, Balfe laughs when I ask her if her character Claire is ever going to be able to listen to Jamie (costar Sam Heughan). “Nope. Never. No. She’s a very head-strong woman. We know this,” Balfe says. “I don’t think that will ever change because that’s something that he loves about her. I do think that she’s beginning […]
