Two Takes: Outlander “Surrender”

Two Takes: Outlander “Je Suis Prest”
The title of the latest Outlander is “Je Suis Prest,” which in (old) French means, “I am ready.” Well, we wouldn’t quite call Clan Fraser ready. Not yet, anyway. Jamie knows he’s facing an uphill battle. Claire’s told him the history of what happens in the Jacobite rebellion. Despite those...
