Outlander - Season 1, Episode 10: By the Pricking of My Thumbs
Trailer
A British nurse travels through time into a mysterious world and the only means of survival is to marry a strapping Scots warrior with a complicated past and a disarming sense of humor.
Phew! An action-packed episode to be sure, with the added bonus of not one but two guest actors (Sessions and Callow) chewing up the scenery with relish.
"By The Pricking Of My Thumbs" hits on all of Outlander's strengths as it blends all of the series's many genres. It has romance, mystery, and adventure, all packaged up in historical fiction and tied off with a fantastical bow.
I fervently wish "By the Pricking of My Thumbs" had been Outlander's midseason premiere, because it was exactly the kind of episode that highlighted everything wonderful about the show's world.
