According to Ronald D
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a World War II nurse, mysteriously travels back in time to Scotland in 1743. There she meets a handsome 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. The 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”.
Appeared in Outlander: An Epic Adaptation (2015)
An American term that didn’t come into use until 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 2 (which is mostly about the build-up to war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening song. During season 3, tribal drums are added as much of the season is set in the West Indies. In season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjo are added, and some lyrics are sung in a southern accent as the season is mostly set in America.
already hooked, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy the rest)
The Skye Boat Song (uncredited) Traditional Scottish Air with lyrics by Sir Harold Boulton New lyrics by Robert Louis Stevenson. I’ve recently read (actually listened to the audiobooks) the Outlander book series, having completed 5 so far, so when I saw the Starz TV series was coming out I had to watch it. I have to say I loved the Outlander books, but I’m not a fanatic when it comes to translating books to the screen, they are very different mediums and so can take on a different look and feel and that’s fine by me. In this case, I don’t think people who are would be disappointed anyway, as the writers have done an excellent job of translating the first part of the book to the screen (I’ve only seen the first episode, but I’m). I loved their choice of actors to play the roles of Jamie, Claire, Frank and Dugan. Sam Heughan is perfect as Jamie Fraser (just the right amount of good looks and toughness you’d expect from Jamie).
I can’t wait to see the Claire Jamie love scenes, I hope they come
Caitriona Balfe also seemed like a good choice for Claire (beautiful but tough enough to play the role). I think Tobias Menzies’ interpretation of Frank/Jack Randall will also fit my vision of Frank/Jack and I think he can play both roles, one as the evil Jack and the other as the loving but boring Frank (compared to Jamie). And Scottish actors like Graham McTavish (Dougal) will bring old Scotland to life on screen for me. From the first episode I think the producers won’t be shy about including the more sexual aspects of the Outlander books, as they have this erotic element that actually makes Claire and Jamie’s love the driving force of their relationship that allows it to span centuries, even when they are no longer together. It’s that love/passion for each other that keeps them alive in each other’s hearts and so far, to the directors’ credit, they haven’t been shy about adding that. I’m also enjoying the Scottish history and landscapes, and I’ve loved how they’ve included them in the TV series so far.
It will be very interesting for me, especially as my ancestors are Scottish
I know Starz will increase their revenue with fans of this series who will sign up just to watch it. There must be millions of us around the world who love these books and I am sure that like me many of them will order cable just to watch this. I’m so happy to see that Starz has done such a good job of bringing this to life on screen.
