I’m a sucker for gorgeous stained glass. Have you ever seen this one in Cologne Cathedral? It is stunning as well.
Anti hate, misogyny, corruption…Also might have a small Outlander and Caitríona Balfe obsession.😁

#4 and it’s not even close!🤮
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Aww, you guys are the cutest!! 🥰
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow amazing recognition for our BN!!🙌
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Agree, I love Julia and Henry - I just can’t handle much more of them being apart.☹️
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
And…we can’t have that happening to both Claire and her mother. It’s just too cruel.😩
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I think so too. Runs and hides…
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent

I’ve 2 comments on this week’s #BloodOfMyBlood ep: 1) It was gorgeous-one of the most visually stunning eps of t.v. I’ve seen in awhile. 2) I am so over watching Henry and Julia alone in their beds at the end of each ep hoping to find the other. That’s enough already… 📸 @fearlessbalfe.bsky.social
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Same! I’ve read every Jane Austen book and seen pretty much every movie adaptation of them. Cannot wait for Caitríona in this!!!!!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Couldn’t agree more Sarah. Davina Porter is the enemy right now and she shouldn’t be - especially given she’s Brian’s mother and we’re meant to believe he got his positive traits from her!!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
💯
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social)
Does anyone else lowkey despise this woman and the way she treats Julia? What’s up Davina Porter? #BloodOfMyBlood #NotAFan
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Julia and Henry are everything. But like you I really wish we would get some more development on Brian & Ellen’s relationship. I want to be invested in it - but they haven’t given us anything to be invested in yet! Also, I am not a patient person obviously…😄
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Same E! The Beatles always make me nostalgic for weekends spent listening to my Mom’s old record collection with her when we were little. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band and all…I miss my Mom every day as I know you do…😢
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Please, if she responds - do share!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
BOmB is a wonderful comfort blanket to have while we await the real deal. The question which remains to be seen is - will it be enough when there is no more OL?
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. She is magnetic.😍
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly i think all 3 of the other characters have been underwritten so far. I also think that their use of Julia voiceovers to supposedly convey what she’s feeling haven’t been as effective as they could be because they’re all focused in the trope of letters to Henry…
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Right? It’s just not adding up so far!😖
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Zero empathy and that’s really bugging me about Davina Porter…
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
She can really be insufferable at times.
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social)
Time for Sat. confessions. Although I do love BOmB and am invested thru 3 eps, I am relieved I don’t like it more than the OG OL. I will also admit that although I love both Harriet and Hermione, neither of them hold a candle so far to my girl crush Caitríona Mary Balfe’s charisma and talent!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
The problem I have with it more than even not being helpful AT ALL to Julia, is that she is Brian’s mother for God’s sake! How are we supposed to believe Brian got all this goodness and honor if neither of his parents are displaying any of that themselves??🤔
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
💯 Why have they not made her a more sympathetic character??
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
All of this! Ellen dominance right now. I do love Julia as well, but not in the same way. Ellen is such an admirable character coming from a position of strength and cunning. Julia is fierce and crazy intelligent as well - but finds herself in a situation where she cannot advocate for herself (yet).
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Harriet is superb.🫶
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Them meaning multiple other siblings? Or them meaning her parents?
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Seriously, Colum is sooo unlikable right now!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Or maybe find her sibling??
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I can’t wait to see what she cooks up to get out of this marriage to Malcolm. Her maneuvering is chef’s kiss.😚 A master chess player indeed!!♟️
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Those two lead females are carrying this prequel!!😍
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Ellen’s the only one carrying that family I swear!! But Julia’s choice to save her bairn? Oh god, I can’t take it…😢
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I suppose they had to give the Lairdship battle some closure, but they did drag it out a bit long, no? Agree the last 10 min. carried the ep!! But also, nooooo Julia!😳
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, Brian keeping his feelings for Ellen secret while Murtagh pines away is rubbing me the wrong way a bit. Hope they find a suitable way out of that conundrum over his ? honor.
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I would totally be down for that!!😍
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
1) Ellen is bad ass - so I’ll go with her; 2) Julia and Henry showing up in Ellen & Brian’s world; 3) Julia at Lovat’s dinner table; 4) Eventually find each other, but Julia has her baby (Claire’s sibling!!!) and he/she can’t time travel so they can’t go back for Claire; 5) Julia/Henry (for now).
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Ahh good thought. Kinda like the Davy conundrum from Bees…🤔
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Me neither!! They must not think they can. They would never leave our bb Claire in the future if they thought they could get back to her…😭
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Who says they’re coming back thru the stones?👀
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Bingo!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
💯
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I have to admit that occurred to me as well!😂🤣Why would they use the same title name tho?🤷♀️
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Well that totally sucks. I am so sorry Toi.
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
😂🤣🙋♀️
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Such great quality in these screen caps Irina!! Thank you!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
You look exactly like how any of us CMB fans would look Lisa - mesmerized by her presence!!🤩
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes making me infinitely more excited to see this film!! Thank goodness it got picked up. I was worried about ever getting to see it actually!👏
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly! Such a ridiculous (every time the Beauchamp’s are mentioned) reply. She gave the same lame non-answer to the Starz red carpet gals who interviewed her as well.🙄
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
He is 🔥🔥 imo!!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Diane! Looking fab - so glad you got to go!!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I spied you there T! Great job to the glam team as well as both of our fabulous hostesses!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
It is an extraordinary castle isn’t it Heather?❤️
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social)
www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/outlan...
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. She clearly did want to be there and was feeling bad she wasn’t able to. But they probably didn’t hold Jeremy to that same scrutiny sadly…
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
That is precisely my point. They will react differently to Caitríona missing than Jeremy missing…
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Well this may be later in S8 because, well, her hair..I feel like that will happen very early in the first couple of eps. But who knows?
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Nope they are not. It is not equivalency. 🙁
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social)
Ok but isn’t anyone else concerned that everyone looks like this? Can we not have nice things ever? No joy? #OutlanderSeason8
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
This is so sweet! He is def a keeper!👏
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I love Oban! One of my fav ‘hidden gems’ of Scotland.
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
And thank goodness they were clever enough to realize it!! Adding the Beauchamp’s and creating the connections between them and the Fraser’s made this prequel everything!!🙌
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
This is an All-Star lineup for the final 4 eps ever!!😭👏
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Pharos has me intrigued. Meaning lighthouse or beacon of light. 🤔🧐 Theories forming…
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m so sorry for your loss.💔
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok well BN says Paramount + now in the U.S. - so I’m thrilled!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, but it sounds like only a UK release scheduled so far?
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I loved S6 too Vicki!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I hate that. Wish they could’ve kept more in place…😢
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Love the library at Trinity! I had heard they removed a bunch of the real books though. Did you notice?
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I know right? I keep waitin’ on that and really hope it happens! 🙏
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I was thinking of you today E. All of the “firsts” without your Mom are the most difficult.💔
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Has the new treatment shown any promise of at least containment?
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I was just thinking about you the other day, and wondering how you were doing?
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
This is the absolute best news of the day!!🙌
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
😂🤣 I see we are not in the majority however…
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Same. I am totally with you on that one. It remains the only episode I literally ugly cried at when I first watched it. I was just so f’ing happy for them…🥹
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
The less sense they are making the more fun they are!! Love it.❤️
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Congrats!!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Well said both of you!!❤️🫶
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
They are!!! And so indicative of her - as you said!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
My own mother’s death just over a year ago still brings me pain and longing nearly every day - especially at times like this. Easter was her favorite holiday and her birthday is in a week…😢 But…the good memories are beginning to bring me some comfort and joy vs. only sadness. It’s def a process E.
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
E, I am so sorry to hear this news. There are few more painful things in this world than losing your mother.💔 May she rest in peace and may her light continue to shine through you and your family.🙏
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social)
Ok perfect screencap or what? 🎤 drop…#BadassBalfe #TheAmateur #CaitríonaBalfe
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social)
Fun interview with some new tidbits from Caitriona and Firector James Hawes. #TheAmateur #CaitrionaBalfe youtu.be/35xkGwrMh90?...
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Every Director has the same admiration and appreciation for the talent and charisma Caitríona has. Not to mention they all love working with her as well…She is a ⭐️ whether Hollywood realizes it or not!!😍
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Boy mom’s unite!✌️
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Well take her in any Irish film she chooses!☘️🥰
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Agree Isobel. That was a very Caitríona answer and part of why we love her so much!!❤️
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
This was a really great interview and we are very excited for her ‘open road!’
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
I couldn’t agree more E! I was so damned annoyed by that!!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Right?!!😍
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social)
Ok I am obsessed with this look on her. But I need to know what was supposed to happen to Inquiline from the book? Anyone read it and willing to share with me (in DM of course so as not to spoil anything)?
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Right? Injustice I tell you!!😡
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Caitríona will always be my favorite - but I also really loved Laurence Fishburne’s character as well!
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep, totally agree. Inquiline’s time with us was waaayy too short…😢
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
Total badass in this movie! But way too little screen time unfortunately…
Kim (@kimbreininger.bsky.social) reply parent
If it was the night they wrapped shooting - then yes? Way back in Jan 2024…
