Tale

Claire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse during World War II, mysteriously travels back in time to Scotland in 1743. There she meets a charming Highland warrior and becomes embroiled in an epic rebellion. Moore (the TV series’ developer), his crew decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them into English. This kept the narrative in the first person while showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic. This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he saw something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternate history film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart.

In some episodes, characters say “OK”

; An American term that only came into use in the 19th century. The opening theme song changes from season to season to reflect what is happening in the plot. In the first half of the second season (set in France), some of the lyrics are in French. In the second half of season two (which is mostly about the buildup to war), there is a militaristic drum roll added to the opening song. During season three, tribal drums are added as much of the season is set in the West Indies.

I have read it countless times, in fact I started reading it again just yesterday. I am proud and honored to be one of the original seven women of Lallybroch, associated with one of the very first global groups devoted to Diana Gabaldon and The Books.

Now it’s here

For decades, the idea of ​​a film version of The Books has tantalized and provoked us, flirting with our imaginations and hopes. And here it is. Every detail is brilliant: the writing, the costumes, the sets and yes, the actors. The series is a visual complement to The Books and that’s a plus. It’s also an adaptation, not a literal performance.

Caitriona Balfe is indeed Claire, as is Sam Heughan as Jamie

Faithfulness to our beloved characters and story is ensured by Diana’s continued involvement in the creative process. She fiercely protects her story and, in the process, her fans, who are both legion and legend. Kudos to Ron Moore, Maril Davis and the entire crew (Terry for the amazing costumes) for giving us our Outlander…
