According to Ronald D
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse in World War II, mysteriously travels back in time to Scotland in 1743. There she meets a dashing Highland warrior and is drawn into an epic rebellion. Moore (the developer of the television series), his team decided to keep the Gaelic words rather than translate them into English. This maintained the first-person narrative by showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic. This idea came from producer David Brown, who said he saw something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternative film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. In some episodes, the characters say “OK,” an American term that didn’t come into use until the 19th century.

The opening song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the plot. In the first half of the second season (which is set in France), some of the song’s lyrics are in French. In the second half of season 2 (which is mostly about preparations for war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening song. In season 3, tribal drums are added, as much of the season is set in the West Indies. In season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjos are added, and some of the lyrics are sung in a Southern accent, as most of the season is set in America.

I recently read the Outlander book series (actually, I listen to the audiobooks) and have read five so far, so when I saw the TV series was coming out on Starz, I just had to check it out. I have to say, I loved the Outlander books, but I’m not a fanatic when it comes to bringing books to the screen; they are very different mediums and therefore can take on a different look and feel and that’s fine with me. In this case, I don’t think people who are would be disappointed as the writers did an excellent job in adapting the first part of the book to the screen (I’ve only seen the 1st episode but I’m already hooked so I’m sure I’ll enjoy the rest). I loved the choice of actors for the roles of Jamie, Claire, Frank and Dugan. Sam Heughan is perfect as Jamie Fraser (just the right amount of looks and ruggedness you’d expect from Jamie). Caitriona Balfe also seemed like a good choice for Claire (beautiful yet strong enough to carry the role).
This will be very interesting for me especially as my ancestors are Scottish
I think Tobias Menzies’ portrayal of Frank/Jack Randall also fits my idea of Frank/Jack and that he can play both roles, that of the evil Jack and that of the loving but boring Frank (compared to Jamie). And the Scottish actors like Graham McTavish (Dougal) will bring old Scotland to life on screen for me. I think that from the first episode, the producers will not be afraid to incorporate the more sexual aspects of the Outlander books as they have this erotic element that really makes the love between Claire and Jamie the driving force of their relationship that allows it to last for centuries even when they are no longer together. It is this love/passion for each other that keeps them alive in each other’s hearts and so far the director has not been afraid to incorporate this. I am looking forward to the love scenes with Claire Jamie that are hopefully still to come… I will also enjoy the Scottish history and landscape and have loved how they have incorporated it into the TV series so far.
I’m very happy that Starz has done such a good job of bringing this to life on the screen
I know Starz will increase their revenue with this series as all the fans will log on just to watch it. There must be millions of us around the world who love these books and I’m sure many of them, like me, will be ordering the cable channel just to see this.
