Then Hades is seen turning to the heroes asking for help to get Zelena back and rescue her from Rumplestiltskin and Peter Pan. In bargain, he offered to take all their names off their tombstones. While Hook is still not able to leave, he and Emma have to go into the depths of the Underworld.

When Pan holds a magic-blocked Zelena hostage in Granny’s “Closed Until Further Notice” Dine, Rumple is seen growling to Hades, saying “We wouldn’t be here if you had ripped up that contract when I asked you to.”

Outlander Season 2 Episode 4 St. Germain Vs Claire




Outlander’s Claire Beauchamp Fraser goes by many names: “Sassenach,” “Lady Broch Tuarach” and “madonna” are a few favorites. But Stanley Weber, who plays the villainous Le Comte Saint Germain in Starz’s historical drama, has another to add to the list.

Claire and Jamie will organize a wine and dine in the next episode of Starz's Outlander Season 2 in a bid to dissuade certain influential people in the French society from funding Prince Charles' war. But the duo will soon realize that not everyone is happy with their arrival in Paris and that their lives are far from safe. Someone will poison Claire and the primary suspect is Comte St. Germain.

"So when this happens, first of all she goes to Master Raymond who she considered her friend and interrogates him over whether he had any part in i. "But she has her suspicions that it's the Comte St. Germain. She starts to realize that there's a lot of danger in Paris and that she needs to maybe be more careful."

The episode will also see Jamie learning of Black Jack Randall being alive. One of Claire and Jamie's wedding guest is The Duke of Sandringham and he'll bring with him his secretary Alex Randall, Black Jack's brother. It remains to be seen how Jamie will react to the news, as the previous episodes showed that he'll clearly still traumatized by his rape and assault in the hands of Black Jack.

This shocking revelation is also going to adversely affect his relationship with Claire and they might soon learn that their relationship isn't strong enough to survive the challenges of stopping a war.

"Jamie is not in a healthy place when they begin this part of their journey and France and the mission they are on there trying to infiltrate the Jacobite rebellion and stop the battle of Culloden and a race of people being wiped out has a lot of consequences on their relationship, and love may not be strong enough to see them through. They're not comfortable in this world. Outlander airs Saturdays on Starz.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Questions that We Need Answers

Game of thrones season 5 finale throws us a major heart break and cliffhanger from Jon Snow stabbed by his own men to Daenerys Targaryen and her dragon running into a horde of Dothraki warriors. Meanwhile, Sansa Stark and Theon Greyjoy are running for their lives and political powder kegs everywhere are waiting to go boom. Since the show is now moving past the point where author George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series left off, nobody really except the showrunners knows where any of this is headed.



The anticipation of Game of Thrones season 6 premiere is raising the bar and it makes us to get the biggest unanswered questions awaiting us in Westeros this year. Winter? Definitely coming. Everything else? Your guess is as good as ours.



Is Jon Snow dead? Like, dead dead? When everyone involved with Game of Thrones swears up and down that Jon Snow is dead, they're probably not lying. Last season's final shot Jon in the snow, blood gushing out from multiple stab wounds, with the unblinking eyes that are cinematic shorthand for "yeah, this dude's a corpse" doesn't leave a whole lot of wiggle room. Nor do the clips from the trailers that show him lying in state, surrounded by Ser Davos and various Night's Watch loyalists.



So does this mean Jon is following his father Ned, his half-brother Robb, and his stepmother Catelyn into Shocking Stark Death Oblivion? Since the most recent volume of the novels, A Dance with Dragons, ends on this exact same cliffhanger, nobody knows for sure but don't count the boy in black out just yet. For one thing, he has a special connection to his direwolf Ghost, and may be able to "warg" his consciousness into his animal companion. For another, the red priestess Melisandre is hanging around, and her religion has serious resurrection powers. Readers have long speculated that a combination of these two kinds of magic ice and fire, if you will, perhaps with an assist from his psychic brother Bran will give Lord Snow his ticket back to the land of the living, and leave him much more whole than other resurrectees have been in the past.



What the hell's going to happen at the Wall? Nothing good! Ser Alliser Thorne has led a mutiny against Jon Snow for allowing the wildlings through the Wall, which means more bloodshed between rival factions is sure to follow. The feral tribe from the outlands may not have been the late Lord Commander's biggest fans, but they're not likely to take kindly to his murder by a pack of bigots, whom they outnumber by an order of magnitude. The late Stannis Baratheon's two most devoted followers, Davos and Melisandre, are still in the mix as well — and so is at least one giant, whom Jon helped rescue from the besieged fishing village of Hardhome. To the south, the Boltons are in charge, and they could well send forces to slay the few remaining Stark and Stannis loyalists at Castle Black. And to the north, of course, the White Walkers are coming, with their army of the dead in tow. It's an explosive situation, and the whole Wall could fall if it blows up.



What's going to happen to Daenerys? The Mother of Dragons fared a bit better than Jon Snow did last season, if only because he's dead and, well, she isn't. Still, Dany is in a pretty precarious position. Her attempt to govern the city of Meereen ended in a bloody insurgency that forced her to flee on the back of Drogon, her black dragon. She's now stranded in the middle of the grasslands known as the Dothraki Sea — alone, hungry, unable to force the beast to follow any of her commands, and finally, surrounded by a khalasar of warriors on horseback. Never the most popular figure among the horselords, our heroine is shown staggering into their capital city in the trailers, where forces unknown strip and manhandle her.



Is she a prisoner, forced to join other widowed khaleesis in early retirement? Is she going to rally the Dothraki to her side with a little help from her scaly friend? Where did he go, anyway? What will happen if and when Daario Naharis and Jorah Mormont her two rival warrior-suitors, one of whom is infected with the greyscale plague track her down? And will any of it bring her any closer to invading Westeros and taking back the Iron Throne — or defending the Wall from the White Walkers?



What's going to happen in Meereen? There's no reason to believe the Sons of the Harpy will stop their insurrection just because the queen who freed their slaves fled the scene. The ruling council currently in charge consists solely of non-natives: Grey Worm, general of the Unsullied; Missandei, her translator; and Tyrion Lannister, who talked his way into her good graces just before she flew away. Two of the three are former slaves themselves and thus unlikely to be popular with the aristocracy; the other has a price on his head. The Imp's pal Varys is along for the ride, too, but the spymaster's loyalties have always been questionable. Finally, there are still two dragons locked up beneath Dany's palace. Talk about wild cards!



5. What's going to happen in King's Landing? Seriously, is there any place here that isn't a ticking time bomb going into Season Six?! Like Jon and Dany, Cersei Lannister started last season in charge and ended up in deep shit. After empowering the extremist religious leader known as the High Sparrow — in the hope that he'd take down her rivals she wound up in the crosshairs as well. Now she's endured a horrifying walk of shame but will still have to stand trial ... and we've all seen how trials in King's Landing go. Her brother Jaime's back in town, bearing the bad news of their daughter Myrcella's murder, and her undead bodyguard Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane is running around too. There could well be a three-way bloodbath in the streets between Lannister, Tyrell, and Faith Militant forces before it's all said and done four-way, since Dorne's Prince Trystane is a newcomer to the city this season. It's a recipe for disaster potent enough to make Meereen look like Des Moines.



6. Will Arya stay with the Faceless Men? The wild-child Stark girl ended last season by crossing the evil Kingsguard Ser Meryn Trant off her kill list; her supervisor in the mystical order of assassins called the Faceless Men blinded her as punishment. Will she continue her training to become "no one" and join the FM for real? Or will she continue her vendetta against the Lannisters, perhaps by heading back to Westeros to seek them out?



7. What will Sansa and Theon do? When last we saw the Lady Stark and the heir to the Iron Islands, they were leaping from the walls of Winterfell to escape the sadistic Ramsay Bolton. The trailers indicate that they survived the leap, but little else. Who will they turn to for help? Will they hook up with Davos and Melisandre (and possibly Jon Snow) at the Wall? Will they hunt down her kid brother Rickon, since they're among the very few people who know he's still alive? Will they connect with Brienne of Tarth and her sidekick Podrick Payne, who are still sworn to protect her? And how will her malicious mentor Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish react once he learns the awful truth about her marriage and her subsequent jailbreak?



8. What will Bran learn from the Three-Eyed Raven? The crippled Lord of Winterfell traveled far beyond the Wall to meet the literal man of his dreams: the Three-Eyed Raven, a sorcerer allied with the ancient Children of the Forest against the White Walkers. But the journey cost the life of his ally Jojen Reed, whose psychic abilities echoed those of Bran himself, and after their arrival at the Raven's weirwood throne we haven't seen a glimpse of the group since.



Magic is always a harsh master on Game of Thrones, and there's no telling what further sacrifices the young Stark and his friends will have to make to aid his sorcerous new sensei (played this season by the great Max Von Sydow). Will he use whatever new powers he gains to help his scattered siblings, up to and including a revived Jon Snow? How important is he in the coming war against the Walkers and their horn-headed ruler, the Night's King? And will he somehow gain access to Ned Stark's big secret: the truth about Jon's parentage?



Winter is coming so here's your quick-and-dirty 'Game of Thrones' Season 6 refresher course on who's who and what's happening from Westeros to the Wall.



9. Where's Rickon? The youngest member of the Stark clan, little Rickon was last seen a few seasons ago. He and his wildling babysitter Osha split up from Bran in order to evade detection by the Boltons, heading for the ancestral stronghold of devout Stark allies House Umber. With Robb dead, Jon a bastard and dead, and Bran off taking wizard lessons from a tree-man, that leaves the little lord as the rightful King in the North.What will he do or what will be done to him, if Roose and Ramsay get to him first?

What Can We Expect in Outlander Season 2 Episode 2


Outlander season 2 opening episode was a bit of a surprise. We were anticipating being in the royal courts of France, but instead we were back in Scotland with Frank in the 1940s. This second instalment, however, sees Claire and Jamie living in Paris and settled into their new French way of life. Their clothes are fancier and their plush home is full of servants.


While Jamie and Murtagh hang around together, Claire's already made new pals: Master Raymond, a local apothecary, Louise, a wealthy French socialite, and Mary, a young English woman who Louise is chaperoning around Paris.


However ill-fated, Claire and Jamie are set on changing the course of history, and this episode they take their first steps. As luck has it, Jamie meets Prince Charles himself and sets about infiltrating his band of supporters and scuppering his cause before he can even set sail for Scotland.


Yep. It's not just Bonnie Prince Charlie who the Frasers rub shoulders with in episode two. They also come face-to-face with King Louis XV who is, erm, on the toilet at the time, asking for advice about his blocked bowels...

Time has moved on since Claire and Jamie first arrived in France, and Jamie's injured hand is almost healed, but invisible scars continue to plague him. At the beginning of the episode Jamie is struggling to sleep and his vivid visions are clearly taking their toll on his relationship with Claire.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode Titles Leaked Online


Just a few days to go and we really can’t take it that the excitement for Game of Thrones season 6 is at the highest peak at the moment. HBO already released two trailers for the upcoming season 6 and the second trailer is just full of spoilers that wrecking up fans what could happen next.

Now, thanks to a leak, the first three episode titles have reportedly hit the internet. HBO has already announced the first episode's titles, ‘The Red Woman’, while the second will apparently be ‘Home’ and the third ‘Oathbreaker’.

Unfortunately, ‘Home’ is pretty generic and could mean almost anywhere. Winterfell for any of the Stark children. Casterly Rock for one of the Lannisters. Perhaps Bran has found his calling in the North. Or even Daenerys finding her home among the Dothraki.

On the other hand, Oathbreaker is almost guaranteed to be about Brienne. Seasons before, she took an oath swearing to protect the Stark children, while the name of her sword is also Oathbreaker.

Could she break her oath to Catelyn Stark? Does it have anything to do with her journey to meet Ian McShane’s character on the Quiet Isle it is place where The Hound is rumoured to be? In other Game of Thrones news, three clips have emerged online, one of which features Sansa and Theon running from Ramsey Bolton.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Everything that We’ve Known So Far All Around The Kingdom


Once again Winter is Coming this April as Game of thrones season 6 will set to premiere this coming April 24, 2016. Before the season premiere will start let us just take a look what we have know so far in season 6 based in trailers and spoilers that we read online.

Now that the show has fully caught up with George R.R. Martin's epic-fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire both book-readers and newbie viewers are totally in the dark about what's going to happen next. That makes keeping track of the show's sprawling cast and countless subplots more crucial and more daunting than ever. With out a surprise for the newbie fans that George can even kill off your favorite character in the show you better prepare all the time.

The Wall Jon Snow is dead. The idealistic 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was stabbed to death by his own men led by his longtime nemesis Ser Alliser Thorne for the crime of getting too cozy with the wildlings, whom he'd allowed through the Wall to save them from the White Walkers. Of course, there are different degrees of "dead" in this world, and the big question at the start of this season is whether Lord Snow will rise again aided, perhaps, by his psychic bond with his direwolf Ghost, or resurrected by the magic powers of Melisandre, the red priestess who's demonstrated an ability to raise the dead in the past.

The North There are no White Walkers south of the Wall (not yet, anyway), but monsters are abound nonetheless. Foremost among them: the Bolton boys, Roose and Ramsay, who have seized control of the ancestral Stark fortress Winterfell and defeated Stannis Baratheon's army. They had plenty of help from Stannis himself: He burned his awesome daughter Shireen alive as a blood sacrifice to the Lord of Light, driving his wife to suicide and seeing half his forces flee in disgust.

It was Brienne of Tarth, however, who delivered the killing blow against the man who would be king, at last getting revenge for his Melisandre-assisted shadow-murder of his brother Renly. Unfortunately, this meant she and her sidekick Podrick Payne took their eyes off the prize, abandoning their stakeout of Winterfell just when Sansa Stark, wedded to Ramsay and subject to his sexual sadism, signaled for their aid in escaping.

But Lady Stark found help anyway, in the wretched form of Theon Greyjoy, better known to his cruel Bolton masters as Reek. Finally snapping after untold abuse, he killed Ramsay's vicious paramour Myranda, then leaped off Winterfell's walls into the snow with Sansa before the Bolton forces returned from battle. Their current status and whereabouts are unknown.

Braavos The watery "free city" off Westeros' eastern coast is the current home to Arya Stark, who spent the season training under master assassin Jaqen H'ghar to join his order of mystical murderers, the Faceless Men. But while she's supposed to become "no one," she's still a Stark at heart. When she gets the opportunity to kill Ser Meryn Trant — the brutal pedophilic Kingsguard responsible for so much of the family's misfortune — she seizes it with gory gusto. This sits ill with her new bosses, who only kill when given the order, and she is magically blinded as punishment. The Iron Islands West Coast represent: Though they've receded to the background for several seasons, the warlike Ironborn are still nominally an independent kingdom, ruled by Balon Greyjoy, the last of the War of the Five Kings' main monarchs left standing. (Renly Baratheon, Robb Stark, Joffrey Baratheon, and Stannis Baratheon have all gone to meet the Seven, and you can throw in King-beyond-the-Wall Mance Rayder for good measure.) His daughter Yara may be helping him rule these rugged islands off Westeros' western shore, though her abortive rescue mission of her castrated brother Theon may have driven a wedge between them.

King's Landing Technically, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms is still ruled by Tommen Baratheon, but, well … it's complicated. The boy king was already being used as pawn in the power struggle between his wife Queen Margaery Tyrell and his mother Queen Cersei Lannister, who was losing that particular battle. In her rage and paranoia, she gave free rein to the Faith Militant, an army of fanatical worshippers of the Seven led by the grandfatherly beggar priest called the High Sparrow. This worked out well for a while, as the fundamentalists arrested Margaery's brother Loras for homosexuality and tossed her in jail for covering it up in the bargain. But the Queen Mother herself finally found herself on the wrong end of their wrath when her born-again cousin Lancel revealed their incestuous relationship and her involvement in the death of her ex-husband King Robert. Her partial confession led to the humiliating walk of shame that served as the centerpiece of Season Five's finale.

So who's in charge now? Well, the High Sparrow rules the streets, but Tommen still sits the Iron Throne, and his great-uncle Kevan Lannister serves as the Hand. Presumably Lady Olenna Tyrell, the matriarch of Margaery's family, won't let either of her grandkids go down without a fight. Yet even a humiliated Cersei has a secret weapon: Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane. Brought back from the brink of death after he was poisoned in a duel against the Red Viper of Dorne, he's now the Kingsguard's newest member — and oh yeah, he's a mute, blue-faced zombie, too. Hey, what could go wrong?

Dorne The culturally distinct southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms had largely been spared the destruction of the War of the Five Kings, until Prince Oberyn Martell, aka the Red Viper, attempted to get revenge against the Lannisters and their lackey Gregor Clegane for the murder of his queenly sister during Robert's Rebellion years before. To put it mildly, it backfired. With his girlfriend Ellaria Sand and their daughters the Sand Snakes swearing revenge, Cersei sent her brother Jaime and his sparring partner Bronn right into their home turf to bring back their daughter Myrcella, whom Tyrion had sent to Dorne as a bargaining chip, before they can take out their anger on her. Prince Doran Martell prevented the two groups from coming to blows, insisting on peace and offering to relinquish the young woman as long as her fiancĂ© — his son Trystane — could travel back to King's Landing with them to serve on Tommen's Small Council.

Meereen The easternmost stop in our world tour takes us from ice to fire. The city of Meereen, conquered by Daenerys Targaryen, her dragons, and her patchwork army of freed slaves, is currently as unstable a place as King's Landing, if not more so. It's got a fanatical insurgency, the Sons of the Harpy, and an assassinated leader, Dany's fiancé Hizdar zo Loraq. But no one back at the Red Keep has to deal with two dragons chained in the basement, and the third, Drogon, running amok before rescuing his "mother" and fleeing to parts unknown with her on his back.

With the Khaleesi in the wind, it falls to her advisors to rule in her stead. This means a strange-bedfellows triumvirate of her right-hand woman Missandei, the young leader of the elite Unsullied troops Grey Worm, and newcomer Tyrion Lannister, who fled to Meereen in hopes of joining forces with her against his hated family. The trio are now in charge, with the Imp's spymaster buddy Varys riding shotgun. Meanwhile, the two men vying for the Queen's affection, sexy sellsword Daario Naharis and turncoat exile Ser Jorah Mormont, have set off to find her bringing Mormont's hidden greyscale infection and the potential for a plague with them.

Outlander Season 2 What We Know so Far


The transporting Starz phenom Outlander is many engrossing genre-blending, genre-bending things at once: a meticulously realized period drama; a feminist-framed portrait of survival and intimacy; a star vehicle for Caitriona Balfe as Claire, a WWII-era British nurse who time-travels to 18th-century Scotland, as well as for Sam Heughan as Jamie, a scarred Highlander wanted by a sadistic British soldier, Black Jack Randall. He’s played with terrifying lustfulness by Tobias Menzies, who might be the best thing about the show, as he also plays Frank, Claire’s tender and tortured 20th-century husband. This is a series that teaches you things, too, like the utility of warm urine in treating wool. Helpful!

Outlander is often called a romance, sometimes dismissively, but mostly because it’s a love story with much hot humping. But showrunner Ronald D. Moore and his writers seem interested in deromanticizing and complicating the genre’s nostalgia, escapism, and sentimentality, no more so than in season 1’s flawed finale. Black Jack’s protracted torture and rape of Jamie—an iconic moment from Diana Gabaldon’s first novel—was harrowing to a fault and a poor climax to a Claire-centric season. How does Jamie recover? How would his trauma affect his rapport with Claire? Are Moore & Co. even interested in these questions?

Outlander Season 2 shows that they might be. The story, adapted from Gabaldon’s Dragonfly in Amber, sends Jamie and a pregnant Claire to Paris to sabotage a burgeoning rebellion against Britain’s Protestant king, an effort that Claire knows will fail and destroy Highlander culture. The production’s vision of prerevolutionary France is impressive, albeit skewed toward decadence and retrograde attitudes. The royals warp themselves with divine affectation, while women of all estates resign themselves to satisfying the male appetite as Madonna or whore, sex object or kept object. Their folly flatters Jamie and Claire, a relationship of equals marked by fidelity and comfort with their humanity.

Still, Claire and Jamie lose themselves in their hoity-toity lives as wine merchants and in the parlor games of their subversive work it’s Outlander does The Americans but the intoxicating buzz quickly fades. Thoroughly modern Claire grows bored with her conventional “lady of the house” days. Jamie, already toxic with self-loathing, hates himself even more for conspiring against his own people. Claire might be pregnant, but impotency reigns. She and Jamie struggle for more meaning and more meaningful connection. Black Jack’s violence has poisoned their intimacy. An opportunity for vengeance is presented as a fleeting fix.

Outlander Season 2 Claire Moves to French high society


Claire Fraser the heroine of Outlander, is a woman with a mission. The Scottish time traveler knows her 18th-century husband, Jamie Fraser, dies on the battlefield of Culloden at the hands of the French. In the series’ second season, she wants to stop the course of history, traveling from Inverness to Paris to infiltrate high society break out the corsets and prevent the Jacobite rebellion that aimed to restore the exiled House of Stuart to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland. Can Claire save her man? Executive producer Ronald D. Moore discussed Outlander Season 2 with The Post.

How is Claire’s experience in the French court going to change her?

She’s had to penetrate a very different world, dealing with aristocrats. It’s a nest of vipers and a bit of a challenge for Claire, who is used to speaking her mind. She has a limited knowledge of history. She knows the general outlines, but a lot of it is her figuring things out on the sly.

Your crew was ingenious at finding many Scottish locations for France, including Drummond Castle annd Hopetoun House. Did you travel to the Continent at all?

We went to Prague to do exteriors for the streets of Paris.

Some storylines in the show differ from the best-selling book series by Diana Gabaldon. What do fans stay when they detect a departure?

It runs the gamut of any fan base. Some people don’t care. Some say, “I was not okay with this change, but this one didn’t bother me. Our fans have pretty much embraced the show. There are always online arguments about a particular creative choice. You’re never going to get 100 percent agreement.

How many Outlander books are there? There are eight and Diana’s writing the ninth. In a perfect world, we would keep following the books as they move through time and places. Lots of series continue to evolve. Our story changes countries and time periods. Characters come and go. It’s a saga you could watch for years.
