Outlander-The Garrison Commander


I have loved Mr. Menzies' portrayal of Frank Randall in the Starz series - he has brought added depth and layers to the character which was somewhat less fleshed out in the Outlander books. I was absolutely mesmerized watching his interpretation of Johnathan "Black Jack" Randall in episode 6, "The Garrison Commander." I could not take my eyes off of the TV screen. It was haunting, horrifying, visceral, awesome! While this production is clearly a team effort - actors, set design, costumes, direction, camera work and especially the writers - Mr. Menzies performance was particularly compelling. His performance in this episode was one outstanding piece of work.

He WAS great in that episode -- my favorite of the show of Season 1, though I missed Episode 10. Part of the credit should probably also go to the screen writer, Ira Steven Behr, head writer of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"'s last 5 seasons.
