Si me prepričala, ravno iščem eno serijo za gledat...poročam kako mi bo.

[Kalypso]

In? Kakšni so vtisi?

Meni je Murtagh totalno dober karakter ... in njegove oči

[Emily]

Jaz sem čisto noter padla, Jamie mi je itak konec lep, samo kaj ko so samo štirje deli Kdaj pa bodo novi deli?

[Kami]

vsako soboto je pride novi del ven ... jo še sproti snemajo (kakor sem zasledila, snemajo zadnje dele serije).

Menda pa imajo že podpisano za drugo sezono

 

Se bomo še načakali, predno bo konec

 

V resnici mi je Sam Heughan precej brezvezen ... tak wannabe frajer, preveč se trudi ....  in sem rekla - ma nikoli ne bo Jamie iz knjige - ni šans. Ampak sem navdušena kako dober igralec je - zadane ga skoraj v nulo!

Tudi vsi ostali so točno taki, kot sem si jih predstavljala (vsaj karakterno, izgled pač niso povsod mogli zadet).

Outlander” is a new show on Starz that is smartly made, but it, too, falls into a tricky genre category: the female-skewing action adventure. The series is based on a hit literary fantasy series by Diane Gabaldon, which is to say, a romance novel—but that shouldn’t block snobs like me and you from watching such a lively, rich, and emotionally satisfying story. We all have our demographic kinks, but if you take a brazen brunette from the nineteen-forties, send her back in time to eighteenth-century Scotland, dress her in corsets and furs, and leave her torn between her twentieth-century husband (a witty, ardent scholar) and her eighteenth-century crush, Jamie (a well-built redhead who is capable of “gentling” horses), well, welcome to my TiVo’s Season Passes.

 

Caitriona Balfe stars as Claire, a nurse who, in the aftermath of the Second World War, goes on a second honeymoon with her historically minded husband, hoping to rekindle a marriage that has been strained by years of wartime separation. In the Scottish Highlands, she finds herself transported, via witchcraft, to an era when brawny laddies are fighting the redcoats—and nobody knows about disinfectant or germs. (Between “The Knick,” “Outlander,” and “Call the Midwife,” cable television these days is practically an advertisement for Obamacare.) As Jamie, who leans very close to Claire during all their conversations, Sam Heughan helpfully fills the shirtless-male-redhead slot left empty by “Homeland” and “Dexter,” so that the couple’s protracted game of Scottish footsie flares with convincing eroticism. Yet this love affair has gravity, too, because it’s woven into a tragedy: Claire is embedded among Jacobin rebels, a culture that she knows is on the losing side of history, doomed to be crushed by the English. With each episode, the series intensifies, invoking interesting parallels with modern political issues—about nations whose enmity is so ancient that it feels indelible, links between wartime violence and sadomasochism, and the ethical questions raised by conflicts of unequal foes.

 

The show has sumptuous cinematography and gorgeous period costumes: everything is lushly green, or covered with mud, and, for anyone interested in details of the era, there are fascinating sequences set in the castle where Claire is trapped, suspected of being an English spy. Instead of panicking, she uses her nursing skills to make herself invaluable. The ensemble is full of great characters, including one of her husband’s ancestors, the vicious English officer Black Jack (Tobias Menzies, who also plays Claire’s husband, Frank); a hilariously witchy Lotte Verbeek, as a trophy wife who advocates that Claire adopt feminine wiles to survive this violent, patriarchal universe; and Graham McTavish, as a Scottish elder who begins as Claire’s enemy but becomes her ally. Claire is a satisfying character—alternately sharp and naïve, cunning and impassioned—but, then, she’s a fantasy herself: a feisty avatar for female viewers, in much the same way that brilliant male characters have operated on so many adult cable shows, both good ones (“Mad Men”) and bad (“Californication”). The female perspective is a welcome change, particularly in a cable landscape that finds every possible excuse for a middle-aged male detective to interrogate a teen-age stripper in her dressing room. But the show is more than tit for tat: it’s sheer pleasure, no guilt allowed.

  mal sem zatreskana vanj ... poleg Jamia

 

Ste že pogledali 6.del?

Kakšen se vam je zdel?

 

Sem brala na IMDB kako se se eni zgražali nad krutim prizorom in sem pomislila, kako je bilo šele v knjigi opisano in kaj jih še čaka v nadaljevanju (če bodo sploh prikazali vse, ampak dvomim).

[Kami]

v soboto bo poroka

 

 

 

 

 

In tudi tu  moram povedat, da mi je Tobias Menzies (Randall) odličen karakterni igralec. Sicer zelo neprivlačen (skoraj odbijajoč) ampak kot igralec je pa res dober! Zasenči vse ostale.

Edino Graham McTavish (Dougal) mu za enkrat vsaj približno sledi.

 

 

A sploh še katera gleda ali ste obupale???

[Kalypso]

Gledam. in poslušam audio-knjigo. Si ob priložnosti nabavim še papirnato verzijo, ker mi je res všeč.

[Kami]

jaz sem si kupila tretjo knjigo v ANG - Voyager (oz. Popotnica), ker jo še niso prevedli v SLO.

Zdaj pa čakam, da bodo imeli kakšno akcijo, ker HOČEM imeti tudi prvi dve knjigi (oz. štiri) v trdi vezavi v SLO.

 

Za tretjo pa še zbiramo pogum, da jo zagrizem ... se jo malo bojim, ker ima čez 1.000 strani, pa bojim se, da mi ne bo tako všeč kot prva in tudi ne vem kako težka angleščina bo, sploh škotsko narečje.

Že druga knjiga je malo padla v mojih očeh, čeprav je še kljub temu fantatična

Da pa sploh ne omenjam, da moram malo zadihat od te teme. Drugače me bo moj ubil.

 

Meni je res odlična pisateljica, ki se je (za razliko od drugih pisateljic tega žanra) precej poglobila v zgodovino (sem šla veliko stvari preverjat in je vse presenetljivo upoštevala) in ima neverjeten občutek za opise in podrobnosti. Zraven je pa spletla res neverjetno ljubezensko zgodbo -  redko doživim kaj takega, kot ob prebiranju njenih knjig.

[Kalypso]

Sodeč po prvi audio-knjigi njena angleščina ni težka. Tu in tam uporablja kakšne škotske izraze, ampak se jih da razumeti že in konteksta.

 

Se kar strinjam s teboj. Sicer škotske zgodovine ne poznam kaj prida, ampak se mi zdi, da je lepo upoštevala zgodovinska dejstva in je dobro ujela duh časa.

Kami, predvidevam, da si v preteklem delu zelo uživala.

[Kami]

oooo ja

... skoraj celo epozodo je imel tisto skrajčko gor - sem že mislila, da so mu jo nalepili.

 

Ma super del je bil - lepo prikazano!

 

Ti poslušaš istočasno kot gledaš ali si s katero verzijo v prednosti?
