Three recurring themes to watch for in the 'Outlander' Season 3 premiere
Far be it from us to spoil what we saw during the surprise Comic-Con screening of the "Outlander" Season 3 premiere, 'The Battle Joined," but we would be remiss not to give fans of the Starz series a hint at what to expect when the show returns in September.
Here are the three themes already found in spades in the first two seasons of the historical time-travel drama that viewers can rest assured will continue anew.
To Have and To Have Not: Intimacy
Intimacy, both desired and forced, has always been a bit of a bear in the "Outlander"Â universe. Dealing as it does with difficult issues of infidelity, rape, grief and forgiveness, the show's characters consistently find themselves at odds with each other, struggling to connect and disconnect from people in their orbit. In some cases, that fosters love that can withstand spa ce and time and in others, allows that kind of familiarity that only breeds contempt.
In Season 3, these same chickens will come home to roost, in as nuanced a fashion as fans have come to expect from the series.
Sometimes It's Hard to be a Woman
Poor Claire. After spending several seasons as a fish-out-of-water in the past, she finds herself as a fish-out-of-water in the present.
Having relocated with Frank to Massachusetts, Claire has about as easy a time adapting to the anti-feminist strictures of the time as she did in 1740s Scotland, but for the fact that in the past, there was a war on and in times of war, exceptions are made for women willing to fight.
Season 3 suggests that the battle for women's equality is far from won, something that may resonate with audiences during our fraught modern times.Â
Objectifying Beautiful Men: Check
Again, no spoilers but there are, like, a lot of kilts and men's thig hs in the "Outlander" Season 3 premiere. If you like that sort of thing. Which we do.
If all of this has you salivating for more Scottish melodrama, check out the new series recap video released by Starz Friday in anticipation of Season 3.Â
