Bloody mid series breaks! :mad:

It was some "mid-season break" in the US - end of September to start of April.

Why didn't they just call it Season 2?:rolleyes:

Has anyone been watching it since it started again? I've enjoyed the past two episodes...continuing to stick closely to the book. Does anyone know how many episodes there will be?

Mr E

16 this season (split into 8+8)

"I'll thank you to get your hands off my wife..." Yum.

That opening scene in last nights episode was saucy!

I have watched it from the start and really enjoy it,haven't read the books though. The love scenes are pretty 'intense'.

frenchmartini

Loving it. The Druidic summoning scene was something else.

mel.b, can spoil a bit ?

episode 11, since Claire had decided to stay, then what prompt her to return later ?
she learns the tactic of time travel from other travelers ?

mel.b

Do you mean when

Jamie takes her to the stones and she decides to stay?

I think Claire knowing that

Gelis traveled also

gave her hope

in going back to Frank

. Gelis said to her 'I think it's possible' or something along those lines. However Claire was surprised when Jamie arrived at the stones as she had prepared herself to go to Lallybroch.

Utimately though, Claire decided

to stay because she loves Jamie move than she loves Frank

. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been explained in the tv show, but Claire grew up with her uncle after her parents died and he was an archeologist who lived in some primitive conditions so the 1700's weren't that bad for her and other than Frank she had no family.

thanks

will like to know why much later she decides to time travel instead of stay by Jamie, since the shadow peeping at Claire room at the opp building most likely Jamie from episode 1

this show time traveling does it has any time setting to indicate which years to travel back in time or forward in time ; if not how Claire will travel back to her own time

mel.b

Ahh, i get you, sorry. That scene was Claire in the 1940's before Claire had ever traveled..what is there to say that either Jamie didn't travel or that it was Jamie's ghost/spirit whatever?

It's explained in the book that they move about 200yrs in time, in sync with each other, so 1yr passes for Frank, waitng for Claire at the same time/speed that it does for Clair & Jamie.

However, in answer to your question...

claire does eventually travel back to her time. Her and Jamie try to stop the uprising of the Young Bonny prince Charles and when they realise that they have failed and thousands of Scots will be slaughtered at Culloden, Jamie sends Claire back so she will be safe as he is sucked in to fighting at Culloden too and expects to die

thanks

so, as long as Claire touches the stone she will definitely be time travel back to her own time & not some other timelines

did Jamie die or manage to meet up with Claire

mel.b

that's right.

neither there are another 6 books at last count after Outlander...

however in the books that i have read - (only the first four) there is no explaination for Jamie that night. Personally i think it has to be him as a ghost because Frank said he dissapeared suddenly and there is no eveidence that Jamie traveled in time - while he believed Claire when she told him, he didn't say that he had also done it and also because the two universes exist in sync, Jamie would have had to travel BEFORE he met Claire in his time so how would he know where & who to look for?

now this season 2nd book ?

another 6 books will mean a few seasons to go

conjecture - doubt Jamie will die so soon, romance story is like that, he likely to travel to her timeline since she met him in his time

mel.b

This season is still book 1.

jamie does not travel to meet Claire in any of the books

that will mean 1 book for 1 season,

since there are 6 more as per post #74, can look forward to more seasons

maybe Jamie will in later books so long as he is not dead

mel.b

Yep, hopefully lots more seasons to come.

i cam say with 100% certainty that Jamie does NOT travel through time in any of the 6 books

wow, that's serious, can spoil why ?

since he is not dead or the stones are not destroy

mel.b

because he can't, that's the assumption anyway, that only certain people can travel

Big, big spoiler below, only read it if you REALLY want to know...

Claire ultimately decides to travel back to try & find Jamie but not for a long time after leaving him the first time. She never stops loving him though

the story put a limit to who can travel through time is very unexpected

think Claire extremely worry Jamie, he can get himself kill anytime but Frank doesn't face such imminent danger ; wonder Frank will forgive her

really can't believe all these between Claire & Jamie happenings can span to so many books just in Jamie timeline

GottaGetGatt

Is this show any good?

Edit: Watching the episode on RTE. Beautifully shot show and the guy behind the music is the same man behind Black Sails.It actually reminded me a lot it.

mafaa

episode 15 was brilliantly acted, looking forward to season 1 finale May 30 on Jamie rescue

mel.b

They really toned down what happened and shortened the amount of time that Jamie spent with Randall in Wentworth in comparison to the book.

that episode was already quite tensed & is surprised to learn it is a toned down, perhaps it is too much for the viewers to take it or deem not productive as a tv series

mel.b

Actually, i just re-read that part of the book and the episode was accurate. It's what happens to Jamie after Claire leaves that i was thinking of.

from Outlander postmortem: EP Ronald Moore, director Anna Foerster talk violent prison scenes

.... when Tobias holds Sam after he falls from the table with the nail in his hand, ....

seem that scene is incomplete & is likely to continue in episode 16, but since the prison scene not over the word postmortem is quite inappropriate

Watching on RTE - it's not on tonight or showing up on my planner. When does the last episode air?

I got a fright when it didn't show up on either the recorder or the RTÉ Player. :P

Thanks for the information.

Well they certainly didn't hold back in the season finale. Fantastic performances. Sad now that the season is over
