OK, Anybody Watching OUTLANDER?

HAPPY LADY — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 00:32:30 GMT

Want to go to Scotland with me? After watching the Wedding segment last week and being of Scottish ancestry, I went into the other room where DH was watching golf and turned his tv off and said "OK. Listen Up. You are not meeting my expectations after 40 years of marriage and you are to watch the Wedding on Outlander and I want to see you in a kilt next Saturday night!" He just sat there and then said "ok, but can I at least watch the last hole of this play off?" Such passion in modern day men. I think Jamie is beautiful but I love Dougall, his uncle. He really is deep water and boy is he crazy about Claire. I love when he whispered in her ear that she should share.. Sharing is good. Am I the only one who thought the wedding night sequence was so wonderfully done. Not pornoesk; beautiful romantic wedding night, for both of them.

Hi, Happy Lady! I've read all the books and half way through the 8th, Written in My Heart's Own Blood. I just love them all. Yes, I've been watching and The Wedding took my breath away. My DH watched the first 6 and passed on the last two. I wanted to keep all that were recorded and he erased them all. I wanted to watch them again because you pick up things the second (and I gather the. 6th time around from her FB page,). There are people who have Outlander watching parties where they dress in period costume, eat food from that time etc. just like people did with Downton Abbey!! as I recall, we live in the same area of Atlanta?? Best, Fran

As you can see from my name, I am a Fan. I have read all Diana Gabaldon's books several times, listened to them on audio a number of times.

I am from Atlanta, but don't live there now.

Wishing you Happy Series Watching!

As soon as I saw your name, that did it. No new shows until April 2015. What will I do? I may not live that long! Yikes!! But I'll watch the reruns, over and over and over. This so unlike me. I do not read romance novels; I'm hardcore murder mysteries and espionage thrillers. But this is done so well.. Guess I'll have to buy her books now. Thanks..

Outlander is one of the best TV shows! Sorry there are only 8 episodes but more are coming- The leads are perfect especially the actress. (And no commercial breaks) The books are considered to be fantasy-sci fi. Stephen King even reads these.

Oh, the books are WAY better than the series. You need to read them in order. And, they are not really classified as Romance novels. I am not a Romance novel person at all.

They are everything you could imagine about history, medicine, love, parenting, engineering, war, and time-travel written by a PhD in Quantitative Ecology with degrees in Marine Biology and Zoology.

Truly great books.

I'm watching the series with a friend of mine. We are behind though...I think we watched RENT last time. Enjoying it and glad that it has been renewed. Can't wait to watch the last few shows!!

Me too WB, I've read them over and over. I've been to Scotland several times, kept wishing/ not wishing I'd slip through time, but it did seem as though it might be possible.

I'd like it a lot better if they didn't change things for no good reason. It's one thing to leave out things to save time, it's another to flat out make changes just because they feel like it.

I mean really, one of things that annoyed me the most about the wedding episode was the fact that, he didn't give her a ring at the wedding. And when he later goes to get a ring, when he can, it results in a big fight and Claire realizes how much she is coming to care for Jamie. The fact that someone other than Jamie gets the ring and designs it is just wrong. Plus they left out some of the best parts to add in a bunch of stuff about her and Frank that isn't even in the book and serves no purpose. Why didn't they just keep the fact that she and Frank were married in the same Church? What's with the made up elopement? There have been a lot of changes that make no sense at all to me. Both before and after this episode.

I'm just now watching my first episode. I know, don't judge.

How many seasons and where does tonight's episode fall?

Thanks.

Love the books! Have read them all more than once! I broke down and ordered Starz on Friday. I watched the whole season yesterday! I love the show! The casting is great and so is the acting, lighting etc! I'll need to read the books again between now and April. I'm IN for Scotland!

I have read the books. I am very much enjoying this...very much. Claire and Jamie were in my mind for so many years and it is a pleasure to see it so beautifully done. I don't quibble with things not in the books, I like seeing this beautiful scenery. I hope you all saw how beautiful my ancestors homeland is. DH and I spent 3 weeks driving around the highlands, seeing my family roots. Have you walked the grounds in Culloden? I have. I can tell you it is every bit as moving and quite striking as you would expect. I was there before I read the books. I felt the terrible sadness.

What role does Sam play? Jamie? I think Jamie is gorgeous but for some reason Dougall, the uncle, really rings my bell. I think it is because he is so stoic and kind of turns his head a little to the side almost as if he can't bear to look at Claire, but he wants to look at her so badly. Deep water; what is he thinking? I know he's "older" but there is something about him. I'll settle for either; choices, choices.

OK, I looked Sam up and that's Jamie.. He is getting better looking as he ages. Face, hair and body; that's not fair to the other men.

Oh, I like Dougal, too. All the Highlanders have a rugged appeal. But Jamie is just so perfect.
