Author of the Outlander series, Diana Gabaldon, reacts to some of the TV show's most iconic moments. You can get the new book in the series, Go Tell The Bees That I'm Gone, here: amzn.to/3MEDEAv
It is 1779 and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser's Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible.
Yet even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell's tea-kettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his own tenants are split and the war is on his doorstep. It's only a matter of time before the shooting starts.
Not so far away, young William Ransom is still coming to terms with the discovery of his true father's identity - and thus his own. Lord John Grey also has reconciliations to make and dangers to meet . . . on his son's behalf, and his own.
Meanwhile, the Southern Colonies blaze, and the Revolution creeps ever closer to Fraser's Ridge. And Claire, the physician, wonders how much of the blood to be spilt will belong to those she loves.

Keeping Murtagh was a great decision, for sure. I'm not sure the 5th season would have been as memorable without us having that one huge emotional link to the Regulators.

I’m grateful that Diana and the show runners have such a strong relationship and that she is still involved in development and decision making of the show. And, I’m glad she understands that the show is separate from the books and that what works in her books isn’t going to work on screen or simply be budget friendly. My favorite example is the part from the fourth book and season where Jamie fights and kills a bear. It would be dangerous to have actor Sam Heughan fight a real bear and expensive to render a CGI bear, so in the show they had a man go mad and believe he was possessed by the spirit of a bear. It works out just as well in the show despite being a bit different from the book, and I admire both versions.

@@Gwenhwyfar7 you know, I have seen the series so many times, I’ve lost count. Back in 2017 I read all the books. Recently, I have started listening to audio versions. I just finished Outlander and I’ll tell you one thing, a LOT of things are different from the shows. Things I had totally forgotten about. Not just events that have been removed or changed a bit. But character attitudes, and in some cases, their entire personality, is different.My main concern is Claire. Book Claire is FAR different from tv Claire. Book Claire is far more careful and takes into account the era in which she lives. She understands that 20th century ideals just will not fly in the 18th. It will be dangerous and draw attention to her. She is willing to do things that would never be allowed in her time, such as killing a teen age redcoat to save Jamie. Many key events, such as with Father Bain, have been totally changed. I always found tv Claire’s total disregard for the ideas, customs and morals of the era she found herself in, quite irritating and frankly she is not nearly as likable as book Claire. She constantly tries to push 20th century morals. She bitches and complains, as well as being irritating, it draws attention to herself and Jamie. It creates more trouble than it solves. The key offender in that was in season 4 when she tried to save the life of a slave that was to be executed. She had her high minded attitudes that put not only herself, but Jocasta and Jamie in serious danger. She is too self righteous. I never did like how they portray Claire in the show. I just try and ignore it.

There's only 2 things on this list as a book reader I would've liked changed. In the books Jaime and Claire get married at the same church that her and Frank marry at 200 years later. It adds a layer of emotion and feelings of guilt to the day in the books. Also the rescue scene when Claire is with the Lionel. I loved this scene in the book as Claire is only semi conscious and the first thing she notices is the sound of Highland drumming getting louder and louder and then the charge of Jamie and his men, I found it so powerful.

Diana is so well educated. Not only does she have a PhD in Science, but she’s a brilliant writer. She knows her history of all the continents. She has knowledge of all things Scottish Irish, English, and American. She knows of Scottish folklore and fae. She threw in medical knowledge vs wet nurses vs witches and witch trials. She knows the history of the wars in that time period, who the Kings and various rulers & renegades were. Shes knowledgeable of the American settlers and Native Americans and the painfully tragic battles they fought privately trying to hold onto their land before all hell broke loose. Let’s not forget about slavery. Not to mention the verbiage and accents spoken by everyone from the lowliest of peasants to the highly educated royalty, those with respectable position & everyone in between. It’s a rather interesting plethora of knowledge to say the least. It would be interesting to see an interview where she discusses her education, her interests and why such a diversity. I can say this much. I have a degree in Biology/Zoology. It’s considered a hard science. It’s not an easy degree & I’m not “stupid”. Diana, @ the very least, has a PhD in Science. Still, she chose to become a writer instead? I wonder what makes her tick?

"...suddenly the sun actually came out from behind the clouds and sort of lit them up like Armaggedon. Totally inadvertent, but fortuitous..." ~Diana Gabaldon explaining the scene around 6:15 (which I won't write in the comments what scene it is exactly in case someone is reading this before seeing the spoilers warning at the beginning of the video). Anyways, I really like this quote from here because it reminded me that the beautiful things in life can really turn up when you least expect it and aren't even searching for it. It just makes life exciting! What she said was like an unintentional pep talk for me. No matter what you're going through (depression, financial issues, surviving abuse), keep on pushing through.

Diana Gabaldon brought up “Interstitial Cystitis” in her last book. My mother had that in her 50’s. She said that generally only 25,000 people had it and that most of them kill themselves because of the chronic pain. Her bladder had shrunk to a quarter of its size and you feel as if you have to pee all of the time. Her chosen method of treatment included an acupuncturist with a needle at the tip of his finger literally going up into her genitalia. She thought the consensus was that the disease could have come on from the stuff she used to treat Rosacea, Tetracycline (?). Although she had to take Thyroid meds since her 20’s. Not a disease you would wish on anyone. Good Luck to those who have it.

She is an incredibly gifted writer, and so much respect for her open-mindedness to making changes to the storyline in the show. The show is a huge success because of how closely the producers work with her as a consultant, and they truly protect the characters to ensure that they are seen in their true light, as Diana wrote them. Brilliant writing, producing, directing, and acting. I hope this show never ends, although I suppose that depends on Diana’s next novels, and of course if the actors will continue their roles!

I already wanted to...just not a huge fan of reading anymore lol Still her books are some of the only books I'm inspired to put the time into. The Murtagh death scene ...😭 omg I was so sad to see him go but glad he stayed a bit more. That line "dying doesn't hurt a bit". Is so touching. Death itself wouldn't hurt I suppose and yet it's so brave and the fact that he doesn't want Jaime to be in pain over it...🙈 It's too much! Lol

What a remarkable Narration by Diana Gabaldon on her books & scenes from ‘Outlander’ and how they deviate from her story lines, Sadly I never read the books, but I’ve been mesmerised since the first day by the time traveling Love story of Jamie & Claire portrayed brilliantly by Sam Heughan & Caitriona Balfe, and conceived by the amazing imagination of Diana, I wasn’t keen on the first episode of S6. It being so dark, and getting darker with each episode, but I’m still compelled to return to this captivating story of love mystery and intrigue that is ‘Outlander’ one of my Dads favourite sayings was ‘it’s the Best thing since Sliced Bread!

It's gotta be tough as an author of such a sprawling series to see your work sorta picked apart. Diana has seemed overall to be very supportive of the series (particularly its actors), but I know (even as a non-reader of the series, much to my own failings) that there's been plenty of liberties. At the same time, it's a completely different, far more collaborative, medium than books, and that should be reflected in the show as well.

I just got the audio version. Excellent. I just finished (yesterday) Outlander. But I forgot a lot that happened in the book after getting swept up by the series. Probably because I had read 10s of thousands of pages in such a short time that some things just faded into the background or I just forgot. Now, I have realIzed how totally different they are. And I have come to a different conclusion. The books are better. Way better. The series is way off on many things, primarily in that they totally changed motivations and personalities of some characters. Probably to make them more palatable to 20th century audiences. Except for Claire. They made her so irritating and unlikable that is surprised me. Book Claire is a far better character, especially considering the time in which she found herself in. I can care about her and actually like her. I sympathize with what she is dealing with. I can’t say that with tv Claire.

@@margaretlavender9647 really? I use audible, and find it’s about the same as a physical book (about $16 AUD, I think that is less than £10). I do drive a lot though, so it fills my time in the car. The last one was about 50hrs long, so lasted me a while.

This was a wonderful video. It is very interesting to hear Diana's opinions on the TV series version of her stories. I love both the TV series and the books❤❤

I read the first four books. The adoption is A+. They take things and add things perfectly for the cinematic format.

I have not read the books but I love how Outlander portrays a Twin Flames story I love the whole series I have already watched it 3 times. I wonder if the author is in a twin flame relationship as well 😊🥰🔥🔥♥️♥️🙌

thank god Jamie not washing his hands in that scene with Brianna was something showrunners found problematic too. I thought I was the only one who couldn't get over it.

Thank you Penguin Books UK to invite Ms Gabaldon to do this. This is a little bit more interesting with the author than with the actors. 🙂

The books and the tv series do have some differences, but the spirit of the books is maintained in the show better than most adaptations of books to shows/movies. I highly recommend both the book series and the tv series. They do compliment each other beautifully. The books are written in such detail that you can picture it in your mind. If you do not care for reading, then please try the audiobooks...the narration is superb! Listening is perfect while driving or cleaning house or just taking a moment to relax. BTW, I happen to use Audible, so I use credits that come with my monthly subscription to purchase the books. The books themselves are much longer than many other books, and they normally would cost more if you were buying them outright. However, you actually save money getting them with a credit...just a thought. Just remember they are different ways of telling a story, so there's no need to get too caught up in the differences that may happen to save time on a show, for example. Sometimes, it helps to keep them separate. Other times, it's like you're getting additional perspective that you may not get from the other source. Either way, well worth it!

I actually read the series years ago using a little known place called a library...free. Waited years for the series to be filmed..Heard about one of the books being released so I went to the library to put my name on the list thinking that nine months was plenty of time to be first on the list...not! Would recommend reading the series, I've read it twice...

I'm so glad I didn't read the books, because I love the show so much. They say if you love the book, a film or show is highly disappointing because of the changes made, and vice versa. I'm afraid if I read the books now, I'll expect things to happen that don't.. Regardless, I'm glad Diana wrote such amazing books that they adapted them for my favorite series

The books very much just revolve around Claire and Jamie. Like the outside characters are barely there
