  1. Sam said at one point that production on season 2 would start in February, but Terry was very definite that it would start later (because she has all those magnificent costumes to make).
  2. Yeah, my recommendation for people interested in the show is to watch the first half of the season before reading the book (mostly so they can enjoy the Virgin Jamie reveal to its fullest) and then read the book before the second half of the season starts so that they'll be prepared for Wentworth.
  3. I could be completely wrong about this (I'm completely wrong about many things), but I believe there is one main actor fluent in Gaelic and that's Caitriona Balfe. She tweeted something about how the guys wouldn't be able to talk about her behind her back in front of her the way the highlanders do Claire. I remember Sam saying at a panel that he had hoped to be fluent before the series started production, but he hadn't been able to do that. So he's at least studying it.
  4. I would like to see Nell Hudson (current Laoghaire) play Marsali.
  5. I don't have much to add to the time jump issue accept that I think it's funny the characters go from being in their 20s to being in their 40s and the actors will never actually play their actual ages (in their 30s).
  6. The official Twitter has been teasing something for tomorrow, but I think the first one may have been in October when they released the alternative opening. My guess is we'll get deleted scenes/moments from episodes that have already aired. I don't think we'll get anything for new episodes until February/March. But remember I'm always wrong about everything, so my speculation's bunk.
  7. I love all the highlanders on the show, but, as much as it's going to hurt, I think they should all die at Culloden. That way Jamie's survivial is more special. But I will morn them all, especially Rupert. He's my favorite
  8. My guess is season 2 will air in 2046 to coincide with the 300 yr anniversary of Culloden.
  9. What I found interesting about that scene is that Frank didn't sketch her hand, he sketched the lines in her hand, the lines that predict that Claire's going to fall back in time and be married to two men at once. It's like on some metaphysical level Frank knew what was going to happen to Claire.
  10. I remember there was a TV Guide Online (or some place like that) with Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson before Doomsday aired and they were all, "There's going to be a real death, but also a metaphorical death." In the comments people were specutlating about who the real death would be and I jokingly said "The metaphorical death will be my love for this show." One of the few times I've speculated something and it turned out to be right.
  11. Anyone ever see the Ben Stiller sketch B Minus Time Traveler? (YouTube Link) If I went back in time that would be me. If I had some preparation I would take several boxes of hot cocoa mix. I feel that would be a universal currency.
  12. This doesn't have anything to do with anything, but a few days ago I had been lax in texted my friend, so she sent me a text complaining about that. I texted her back "Maybe I'm not ignoring you. Maybe I fell backwards in time and hooked up with a hot Highlander." To which she responded, "I know that didn't happen because I didn't receive a two hundred year old letter saying 'Haha.'"
  13. My title suggestion is Time Travel: Say, could that lass be I?
  14. The implications of Time Travel are too much for everyone's brain cells. Most shows that dabble in Time Travel will evenutally screw up and it'll become a confusing mess. Even Doctor Who can't handle it well if the story arch lasts more than one episode (See River Song).
  15. To get really scifi nerdy for a minute... If I suddenly found myself inexplicably 200 years in the past the first thing I would do is try to ascertain the nature of Time. I'd want to know if this was an closed loop or open loop kind of situation. Closed loop - Time isn't changeable. I always went back in time and my "present" has already been affected by it. There's nothing I can do to change the future, because I will have always done what I will do not matter what it is I will do. So I can't stop horrible things from happening, but also I can't inadvertantly do something that will evenutally let the Nazi's win WW2. Open loop - Time is changeable. I didn't necessarily go back in time originally, so now that I'm in the past I'm basically a free radical. Who knows what I'll do or what mayhem I'll cause? I can prevent Colloden, but I might also get my future husband's ancestor killed and thus prevent him from ever existing. Since he didn't exist to take me to Scotland on our second honeymoon I never went back in time, so Colloden did happen and my husband did exist and we did go to Scotland and I did go back in time to prevent Colloden and get his ancestor killed, so I didn't go to Scotland... I think it's pretty clear that Outlander and all its sequels are a closed loop situation, but Claire seems to be under the impression it's an open loop. So I'm going to blame her for every shitty thing that's happened since.
