I went to the ATX TV Festival in Austin, TX and was 2 feet away from Caitriona Balfe! (insert Wayne's World gif "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!") The experience was incredible and beyond my wildest dreams, and I recap the whole crazy ride (Spoiler: it includes a police chase!) I also spend some time sifting through the absolute deluge of promo content we have gotten this week. There's some juicy developments regarding the breaking of story for Season 8. DROUGHTLANDER IS OVER B*TCHES!!!!

This episode is exactly what it says it is, a breakdown of the long-awaited Season 7 trailer (that they took their sweet time releasing)! The Jamie and Claire goodies abound in this one and I am honestly so hopeful for the new season. The end of Droughtlander is in sight, the fandom juices are flowing again, and the deluge of content from Starz is only just beginning. As always, strap in folks, this season's gonna be a bumpy ride.

As we slowly trudge through the last vestiges of Droughtlander, I take some time to catch up on some new fandom developments...namely, a premiere date. Yes this Droughtlander has been long and arduous, but we are in the home stretch, people. I get a little ranty, so don't hate me for it, but I have some opinions that not everyone will agree with. All ready for the new season say "Aye!"

Can you tell how excited I am?!! The announcement that Season 8 is happening (albeit the final season) is such good news I could cry. After a short hiatus (and a slight rebrand of the pod) I'm back to discuss initial reactions to the news, how this affects the story going forward, and general fandom response. All good things must come to an end, but it is such a relief to know Outlander's ending is in good hands and is at least 2 years away.
