I notice that when Outlander uses the phrase ‘Blood of My Blood’ it’s signaling more than just a scene of the same name. The real heart of the phrase is family, heritage and all the obligations that you have to fulfill because of the blood that runs through your veins. It can signify shock of unexpected paternity, or the quiet ways that people can inherit traits, obligations and even wounds from their ancestors.
The term “blood of my blood” refers to Scottish clan identity and later the families that transplanted to the New World and were tied together by their ancestral ties of protect, trust and sacrifice. Typically episodes classified under this banner consist of close-up, personal and emotional scenes of births, deaths and confessions which illustrate how personal decisions can have far-reaching consequences for generations of a family. The episodes under this banner are some of my favorite as they develop the intimate drama of a character or group of characters within the broad and sweeping historical drama of the story.

The release date has not been announced for this show. Release dates for licensed content are country specific and usually announced separately from the US Starz premiere dates for new episodes. Sometimes entire seasons are released at once, and other times they are released week by week, but this is less common for older seasons. If you are interested in knowing exactly when Outlander will be available on Netflix in Portugal, I would set up a Google Alert for ‘Outlander Portugal Netflix’. That’s how I found out about last season’s release date. We’ll just have to wait and see.

A well established narrator for the Outlander books, in search of a warm and familiar voice for book 10, would be Davina Porter. Davina’s measured, expressive and patient reading of long sections of narrative brings new depth to the same scenes that, on the page, I had hurried by in order to get to the interesting bit. Her portsrayal of Claire’s quiet confidences and feelings of love is very sweet.
The accents are spot on and she brings the likes of Claire’s sensible, no-nonsense side to life as well as showing her tender side. Her narration of long and sometimes laborious chapters of Gabaldon’s work are never a chore and have helped me fall in love with the book again on my commute. Long may she continue to bring these wonderful stories to life.

Right now, I am feeling temporary high levels of adrenaline while trying to locate a free working stream to watch current major shows that I follow for entertainment purposes. Unfortunately the pain of streams buffering at inopportune moments for extended periods of time far outweighs the high of instant gratification while searching. I have included major current shows that I follow for entertainment purposes in my annual entertainment budget. Therefore, “Outlander” is a line item. I put other services that I regularly pay for on a monthly basis that I don’t use half the time that I pay for in against this show for the months that it airs. My solution to the time consuming and increasingly complex streaming landscape of services that are cyclical (as in subscribe and then cancel) or that offer various free streaming options that are changing all the time is to simply pay for the show that I know that I will watch that air each week for each season. For example, I activated my Starz subscription the day before Season 8 of “Outlander” premiered and set a reminder on my phone for the following week to cancel the service when the season finale aired. Total cost for the month of watching Season 8 was $8.99.

The physical differences between edition versions of a book are so much fun to me that I thought I’d mention them: the cover art, the binding, how the publisher packages the books. Some trade paperbacks are tall and slender, while others are mass-market sized to fit in the palm of your hand. And then there are the very impressive hardcover omnibus editions that pack multiple novels in one very large and impressive book. (And often rearrange the sequence of the novels in order to be the most logical.)
Some countries may even title the novella as a main novel, putting it in the main book list instead of a companion collection of novellas. When looking for editions to buy as a collector, be sure to check the table of contents and the ISBN number to make sure you are getting the correct version of the novel. For first time reading of a novel, I prefer to read it in the cleanest publication first, and then look for special editions that have extras in them, like new artwork and author notes that make re-reading the novel worth while.

Kleines Update aus Fan-Sicht: Ja, nach dem Ende von 'Outlander' Staffel 7 gibt es noch eine Fortsetzung — Staffel 8 wurde bestätigt und soll die letzte Runde werden. Für mich fühlt sich das wie der Abschied einer langjährigen Begleitung an; ich habe viele Stunden mit Claire und Jamie verbracht und bin neugierig, wie alle offenen Fragen verknüpft werden.
Ich finde es gut, dass die Serie verschiedene Zeiten zeigt und die Beziehungen zwischen den Menschen behandelt. Ich frage mich manchmal, ob die letzte Staffel wie die Bücher ist oder ob die Serie etwas anderes macht. Egal wie genau sie es adaptieren, ich freue mich auf das Finale und werde wohl wieder mit Popcorn und Kopfkissen dabei sein.

I watch Show with my partner, but I don’t actually get it. It’s so pretty, but I get lost in all the different time jumps and characters that are not even part of the main story. I’ll probably watch the finale with her and act like I know what’s going on. Then she can explain it to me all while I pretend to understand. Yeah, that’s pretty much how it’s always been.

To make sense of all of this, I like to simplify and explain the Outlander books over coffee to my friends. Essentially the two tracks of the timeline are Collins 20th century life and 18th century Jamie’s world. Exile between the two tracks can occur in several ways: Claire’s abrupt return to her own time following the Jacobites; Jamie’s life as an exiled fugitive attempting to survive in an unforgiving world or attempting to build a new world; Jamie and Claire’s deliberate exile to the colonies in order to escape the Highlands.
Book stops include Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, An Echo in the Bone, Written in My Own Heart's Blood and the following books in the series. Each title moves along with the time of the story and shifts the stakes for the characters' exile in terms of time, land and family. The shifting of these stakes makes for a very engaging and long saga.

The Outlander wiki lists Claire Beauchamp, an Englishwoman with a Norman-French influenced surname, as the main subject of the entry, which then follows her through her marriage and time travel to become part of the Randall and Fraser families. There is a list of her immediate family, marriages and children (with main focus on Brianna). The family can also be viewed as a collapsible tree, showing how Claire’s link to 20th century English ancestors is joined with her 18th century Scottish relatives.
Additionally, this page lists out the different relationships between the ancestors of the main characters, as well as noting the difference between blood relations and marital relations. Since Outlander involves so much time travel, it can be confusing to keep track of the ancestors of the different husbands of the main character. This page is something I can bookmark for future reference to get a genealogy fix, and it is so much better than just a list of names. Seeing the chart of how all the characters are related really brings the story to life.

A YouTube video from a fan-made channel was posted recently where the creator analyzed Diana Gabaldon’s appearances at various conventions recently. According to the creator, Diana states that she is “making progress” on the new book but she doesn’t want to elaborate further on that. As I mentioned previously, fan-made channels are great in compiling all of Diana Gabaldon’s public statements, but overanalysis of every word she utters is usually par for the course. Nevertheless, searching for “Diana Gabaldon book 10 update” on YouTube yields a few recent discussions on the topic. Just remember to take all of the speculation with a bucket of salt. The real update will be obvious.
