Lots of fans, and we're rabid.

@@Blue-rl5dp yes we are

Yeah so do I

I had a life before Outlander and Sam Heughan. Now, I’m obsessed and addicted.

@@JCZano I had things to talk to other people about, too. Now it all leads back to Outlander somehow. One track mind. Not that I suggested it, but DH has already told me he will not be dying his hair red.

The fifth season is so good!

Don't, because you would have had to wait for the seasons to come out, now you get to have them like a marathon!

Almost wish I could get amnesia of some sort so I could see and read it all new again! LOL

@@Blue-rl5dp get the books you will love them

I also started it last mnth. Almost finished with s5... not that impressed tbh. I prefer when they were In Scotland.

@@LayllasLocker But he can't be in Scotland anymore. His legacy is gone (Lallybroch now belongs to young Jamie) and nothing there welcomes him anymore. He's carving out his own legacy now.

They are in prison, so they can't Watch the show, but can have Access to the book

@@sandroribeiro7644 I know. And I love it. Nobody ever talk about the books.

I am pretty sure the show was mentioned too; something about them missing the new season

The series has been around for 30 years. The books were written in the early 90’s

It Is definitely not new

Give me the books! The Starz series is OK, but can't beat the books!

I love that they talked about the books. For a change...

Outlander did premier in the US in 2014 and didn't show in the UK until 2015.

@@CafeLu really! I assumed it premiered in the UK first especially considering the nudity

I wondered that cause I watched Orange is the New Black in 2014 and didn’t know what Outlander was back then!

Me too 🤣

There's conventions?! 😍

@@piajara9616 Yes. LOL Comic Cons and a lot of others. Stars (and not quite stars) of popular shows come to panel discussions or just to wave and walk by very quickly. Some of them are really nice people and schmooze through the fans. You can see clips of them on u-tube. It was at one of them that Mr. Heughan gave the "Lets talk about sex" speech. Very cute. It's on-line, look it up.

Totally agree. And I am 100 percent straight male. Not ashamed

I'm on my 4th round, guess I'm addicted.

STARZ NETWORK DID IT FOR MOST OF US FIRST

@@virgoqueen8950 STARZ was it for me but most people I personally know couldn’t get yet another streaming service so they didn’t watch (and some didn’t even care to) until it went to Netflix in the US and got much more popular

I thought, the books already were a big hit?

@@May-qb3vx That's true!

And that was a tear jerker of a scene too! 😊

I can see why there is that confusion though.

I know, I get errked too when people refer to Scotland as England. Guess I would have fought on the Jacobite side. hmmmm

@@laurie66 Maybe you should go back in time and support the bonny prince hehe

Lmao I said that too. 😂 it’s Edinburgh!!

I think that can be part of the joke, geography isnt known to be a strong skill amongst North Americans! ;)

Outlander forever... exciting for season 6

I am right there with you. My husband actually did mention the 'O' word! ;-)

I have seen that one. They talk about Outlander in 1x06. Thank you!

A variation on "I read it for the articles."

Also nice callback to the movie and Scotland being hilly.

I'm not a fan since 1992 (at this point I was only 4 years old😂). But I believe I discovered the series in my highschool years, maybe 2004. And I just loved it from the first book, that I read in ONE night. Luckily with the tv series my bff got hooked up, and now she reads the books, watches the show and we can discuss it. My favourite moment was, as we were in Worlds End in Edinburgh drinking some cider together, before the tv show started. Worlds End ist mentioned in the books....😉 I think the books were a main reason, why I wanted to go to scotland!

How did I miss this! Now we have 17 mentions. Thanks

That's weird cause the outlander is claire....

Best book saga ever yes! 💕

LYacky1 - I can't say I've been a fan for as long as you have, but I'm sure you agree, it was worth the wait for the show! How lucky for us that they made it into a series, not a movie. My mom, who read the series from the beginning and has reread it now many times, tried for years to get me to read it, but for some crazy reason that I don't understand now, it just didn't sound that interesting to me. That all changed when I saw they were making a series. I watched the trailer out of curiosity and after one look at Sam as Jamie, I was immediately hooked and started voraciously reading the first book before the show began airing. I ended up reading the entire series in a few weeks and have now reread it 3 times! Hopefully, I'll convince my daughter to read the books soon, though thankfully, she's 20 - I can't quite imagine her reading it at 12! Love that you kept that first book all these years!

Wow thanks for sharing this! I only recently got into the books but I love that fans have been around that long. Out of curiosity, do the actors cast match how you originally pictured the characters? Unfortunately I saw clips of the show before reading the books so I have always pictured them looking like the actors

@@bookworm598 - Yes and no. Also, with the exception of Jamie & Murtagh, when I'm reading the books I still see the characters in my head the same as I have for the last 29 years, with a few age tweaks as the characters grew older of course. 😉 That should kinda answer your question if the actors matched what I had envisioned in my imagination. lol In all honesty the vast majority of the casting has been way off for me but that doesn't mean I'm not happy with the job the actors are doing on the show. I understand that a tv show (or movie) and a book are two *completely* different mediums and I also recognize the fact that no actor is ever going to perfectly match the images our vivid imaginations concoct whenever we're reading a book. The two casting exceptions were Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser and Duncan Lacroix as Murtagh Fitzgibbons. Both of these actors not only matched the Jamie & Murtagh I saw in my head but they far exceeded my expectations in every way possible. My biggest disappointment was actually Caitriona Balfe's casting as Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser and I was far from the only longtime fan who was initially upset with her landing the role. No disrespect to Caitriona Balfe but she looks absolutely *nothing* like the Claire Fraser who is quite vividly described by Diana Gabaldon in her books. Caitriona Balfe was a runway model and is stunningly gorgeous and rail thin and that is soooo NOT our beloved Claire Fraser in the books. It's actually quite comical really just how insanely different the two women are from a physical standpoint. The hair is about the only thing from the books that's on point when it comes to Claire in the tv series and it's no secret that Caitriona wears wigs to achieve that similarity. It was really disappointing when the pilot first aired to see that the creative team had strayed so far from Diana's description of the character because although book Claire isn't fat or unattractive in the least, she definitely isn't a supermodel either. Far from it. It just would've been nice to see the creative team cast an actress who more closely resembled the character's original description as opposed to an actress who (through no fault of her own) conformes to Hollywood’s rigid beauty stereotypes. All that said I couldn't be more happy with Caitriona's overall dramatic performance. Cait's done a phenomenal job with our feisty heroine Claire Fraser and I wouldn't trade her for any other actress out there at this point. However the difference was so jarring at first that it did take me halfway through the first season for Cait to truly sell me on her performance and make me forget she looked absolutely nothing like book Claire. Specifically it was the wedding episode that sealed the deal for me. Cait's onscreen chemistry with Sam Heughan is lightning hot and that wedding episode was well worth the 22 year wait it took for me to see it play out onscreen. lol From that episode onwards I was completely sold on Cait's performance as Claire and Sam went from being a good looking guy to the sexiest man alive on this planet. lol The rest of the actor's don't really match their book counterparts either but the actors have all managed to sell me with their fantastic performances regardless. I initially thought Graham McTavish was way too old to play Dougal MacKenzie (and he is when compared to the book) but for the show I thought Graham was absolutely perfect. Same goes with Sophie Skelton as Brianna Randall MacKenzie. Once again Sophie looks nothing like how Brianna is described in the books (except for the red wig Sophie wears) but her looks do closely resemble Caitriona and Sam's which is I'm sure why she was cast in the role. Anyways I *love* the books, they've been a huge part of my life for so long and as such they'll always hold a special place in my heart, as will the character's I see in my head when I read the books. That said I'm also a massive fan of the show and I'm so happy we've been blessed with such a faithful and amazing screen adaptation of Diana's phenomenal books. I just *really* hope the show continues right to the end of Diana's series. 🤞 P.S. - Sorry for my epic long response. I could talk about Outlander til the cows come home. lol

I started reading it at the end of the 90s (some time before The Fiery Cross came out) and it wad very popular back then. There were internet forums dedicated to it and fan pages, things like that. But I also knew a lot of people in real life who were reading it or who had heard of it.

She got the year wrong too, but that’s how Frankie Heck is.

Yeah, especcially when you've actually watched the show you know how important that difference is!

That's prob part of the joke since she there is an ongoing theme of americans being bad with geography...and everything else cause they keep using mexican clothes and music for spain

Oh yes, I remember that - noticed because I AM one of those people

Thank you for this, it made my day. It's like GOT!!!!!! BTW never could get into that show. I saw the first episode and I was done.. Outlanders the best!!!!!!!!

Also in The Old Guard (when they're hiding in the bunker)

part 2

@@user-mp2qg1zn8p wait what? I've seen the old guard like 3 times, I dont remember that :O

oh yeah, I've been rewatching he show lately with my mom (I'm rewatching, she s watching for the 1st time) and the end of season 1 was harsh, definetely will skip it next time.

I can't wait book 9 ! 💕💕

Yeahhh. I've been wanting to re-watch also, but good God that episode in s1. I think I'll skit it too

I've lost count of how many times I've watched THAT episode 😂

I actually never even watched that episode! After it came out there were reviews and people were saying the scenes were even more graphic than the book, which was already bad enough, so I decided it wasn't for me.

Discovery of Witches, love it...

Love it! This two book sagas I love 💕 always coming back to re read them. And twilight 😋

@@nevarez7L The best twilight was the last one but Discovery of Witches is 100% better and I am so hyped for season 3

Me, too! The show is great, but the books are even better.

I'm looking forward to it impatiently and I'm ready to watch the whole 2 seasons at once. I can't wait 🤩

Me!💖🦄👍

It was John Grey

I found the episode. Thank you

@@cymertv2869 Yay!

Nice to meet you Hayley, welcome here lol...

same, and I've watched half of the shows on this list... Crazy ex girlfriend and OITNB a couple times actually, weird

Same. I’ve watched like 80% of these shows

Agreed.

Not guilty at all ! 💖🦄👍
