let the new (FINAL sniff) Outlander theme song get you amped for this week's premiere, and enjoy this analysis slash song feels post that I've updated every season for the last eight (!) years

part who-knows-what of an ongoing conversation with myself, in column form! these are not final, authoritative thoughts, partly because I am just not that interested in final, authoritative thoughts, but I do authoritatively feel that an us vs. them approach to genres is a mistake

also, Ryan Gosling deserves Oscars buzz for this movie and I’m not even joking

Also, I'm never going to be fully disappointed about a Frankenstein movie that actually fucks.

a woman in a wig is dancing in the dark Alt: Jessie Buckley as the Bride dancing in pink neon lighting

Not reviewing The Bride!, but have some thoughts anyway: Jessie Buckley gives a tour de force performance in a movie with gorgeously bold style, but the narrative direction doesn't fully rise to match her strengths. Despite its flaws, I still find myself thinking about it hours later.

'Outlander' Season 8 Review: Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe's Epic Fantasy Series Slowly Builds Toward a Stellar Finale Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe anchor the emotional final season of Outlander as Jamie and Claire return to Fraser's Ridge. Read our review.

As someone who's been watching and writing about #Outlander from the beginning, reviewing Season 8 was kind of bittersweet, but these initial episodes are a strong reminder of what the show does best, anchored by consistently solid performances from Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe:

LOL of course the random Bluesky thread I post out of pocket right before turning off my phone for a screening is the one that suddenly pops off

the internet has *always* had a problem of hate-sharing, and if we want to get out of this, we gotta be equally committed to sharing good work and supporting the people who make it

And they’re so close to each other!

I’m not even talking about my little corner of work because I’m small potatoes compared to other writers; if you care about supporting and amplifying good cultural criticism when media orgs are taking drastic steps to phase that out, a simple repost can go a LONG way.

I know journalism is a rapidly deteriorating industry, but it also feels like fighting a losing battle when folks on here are mostly sharing articles to dunk on them, rather than solid pieces from journos and critics out here trying our best every day to stay working and writing

LRP: Truly, I would love to earn half the reposts from whichever legacy media pub’s ragebait has gone up today so that I can remain employed!!!

every time someone shares a shitty op-ed piece by a shitty writer in [insert legacy media org here] to dunk on it, they should have to share something made by someone awesome

I will say the show starts out in a very different era than the one that’s purported to have Mars/Earth Expanse vibes, but there’s a time jump after every season!

also, genuinely surprised it took me this long to start watching, given the Ronald D. Moore joint of it all, but what's not surprising is that Apple TV keeps winning at the sci-fi game

We're finally making our way through For All Mankind before the new season premieres, and boy oh boy, am I glad someone made the "isn't Season 5 just a prequel to The Expanse actually" joke so I didn't have to

well if you recall, they DO build more than one little house in the book series, so Season 2's house is probably a bigger little house
