Mary Larsen (0:03)

From Providence, Rhode Island, Welcome to Outlander Cast is a podcast dedicated to Outlander and Blood of My Blood. So sit back, relax, and let's get into it.

Hello everybody and welcome back, my name is Mary Larson.

Blake Larsen (0:47)

My name is Blake and Mary, I think the show has fallen in love with Brian a little too much.

Mary Larsen (0:55)

Oh.

Blake Larsen (0:57)

I think they've fallen in love with the myth of Brian Fraser.

Mary Larsen (1:02)

I think someone's jealous.

Blake Larsen (1:04)

No, I'm not. I feel about it the same way that I thought that Outlander in the initial seasons kind of fell in love with Jamie Fraser.

Mary Larsen (1:17)

Yeah, all of it was warranted in my perspective.

Blake Larsen (1:21)

No, but I mean, we'll get into it.

Mary Larsen (1:23)

To me, this was like, wow, this is like, it was so Jamie, just like we've seen so many things with Julia that were like, God, this is so Claire, that I loved it.

Blake Larsen (1:33)

Yeah.

Mary Larsen (1:34)

I don't feel like they're like, you must love Brian. I'm here for it.

Blake Larsen (1:38)

No, I think the show has fallen in love with Brian. Not necessarily that they're saying, you must love Brian. But like, they've kind of like, it's like that joke, the Godfather insists upon itself.

I feel like the show is kind of insisting upon Brian.

A little bit. You know what? It's okay. The same way that the show kind of insists upon Ellen, but in a different way. Okay. So, but we'll talk about it. We'll, this is still in take development. I'm not saying it's a fully formed take, but it's right around there. We're circling a fully formed take. Okay. Is that fair?

Mary Larsen (2:20)

I mean, you're a fully formed take.

Blake Larsen (2:23)

Yes.

Mary Larsen (2:26)

Music I was just walking the dog the other day, and I had my AirPods in, right? And I listened to this song. I got a little pep in my step.

Were you swinging like you were wearing a kilt? Yeah, absolutely.
