Not Jamie but now that you mention it, Frank Randall and Black Jack Randall both bear a striking resemblance to Edmure Tully.  :)

Pssst GHScorpoisRule -- today is Wednesday.  You have to wait another 24 hours.  :)  I just set my DVR to record and the online description of the show says he'll be on tomorrow night.

 

PS:  I live in the central time zone so the show starts at 11:35.  I'm guessing where you live it starts at 12:35am in which case you'll be seeing him verra early Friday morning.

I'm setting my dvr for both nights. Because 12:35 a.m. makes it March 31! Thursday would make it April 1! So technically, tonight would be Thursday, in the wee hours. Aye, I'm a rambling because I've a MONGO headache. But I'm almost positive Sam will be on tonight's show. Or early tomorrow, or...ye ken wot I mean!

Okay I'm laughing because even though I'm 99.9% sure I'm right, I'm setting my DVR to capture tonight's show just in case.  Don't want to miss our JAMMF!

 

Okay, aye, yer right. Though I think that the way they have said "On Thursday night" is WRONG.  Technically, if Sam is appearing on Thursday...och, never mind. I forget, CaliFornIA...three hours behind, so it is Thursday. BAH!

 

I hate that I overthought this!

The best part of Sam's appearance on The Late Late Show was Rita Wilson's reaction to him.  There she was, a celebrity in her own right, married to one of Hollywood's biggest names (Tom Hanks) and she had a total fan-girl oh-my-gawd-it's-Jamie-Fraser reaction to Sam, complete with nestling in next to him for a prolonged cuddle.  Apparently she discovered the show while on vacation with a group of female friends (sans husbands) and they reacted to the show pretty much the way we all did.  

 

One of us!  One of us! 

 

Here's a link to a portion of the interview (pre-cuddle) that should work everywhere.

That was terrific Nidratime.  Thanks for posting.  I'd say it's pretty spoiler free (the audience even demands that they NOT be spoiled by the questions.)  And since the panel includes the writers the questions are very much focused on writing and story and that process more than the usual actor-focused questions.  As a result almost everything I heard was new, which was wonderful.

I agree GHScorpiosRule.  Right now Sam is a bit trapped in his "identity" as the hottie we Outlander fans are all lusting after.  I noticed it before during that extra panel he was on at the last Comic-Con.  All the other men on the "Warrior" panel treated him as the designated "heart-throb".  One even had to hug Sam "for my wife" and later said "we all just want to sit here and listen to your accent."  It's a double-edged sword.  Sam is a good looking man and Jamie Fraser is something of a romantic ideal so that gets him a lot of attention which I hope is good for his career and the show, but I'm sorry when those two things overshadow the really fine acting that Sam has been doing.

 

All that being said, I think Sam is having a lot of fun right now and I'm happy for him.  He, Cait & Tobias all seemed very happy on that panel posted above.  They got lucky when they landed in this show and they know it (especially Sam & Cait.)

 

I'm happy too.  Every morning I wake up there is something new for me to read about the show and we are one day closer to the premiere.  Yay!!!

I really wish Sam would use the Scots brogue in his interviews as weell. I just have to settle for turning into goo when I hear him say "guid" and "buik" I guess.

 

Wot?

 

Christian Bale does it ALL.THE.TIME. but in reverse. I want to hear his English/Welsh accent in interviews. Instead, I get the American one. Though I did love him going off script in his Batman Begins interview, because he'd lost sooo much weight in doing The Machinist and Nolan told him to put a lot of weight on, and he did, to the point where Bale mimicked one of the producers or maybe Nolan: "Christ, Chris, we're no' doing FATMAN, but Batman!" or something like that. 'Twas funny. That''s me point.  And he sounded SEXAY.

 

Not that Sam doesna sound SEXAY in interviews. When he's allowed to speak more than four words. But I looooooove his Sctos brrrrogue MORE, ye ken?

Yeah the sound and picture finally came up for me. Got to hear the Tobias interview. Then when it was Cait's turn the power went out in my building. FML.

If came back a few minutes later and I did get to see Sam, who was his usual charming gracious self so that was good. If anyone is interested ET says they will post a video of the whole thing on their Facebook page. I won't bother. This whole thing left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Especially after I tweeted about the technical difficulties and somebody from one of the twitter fan clubs took it upon herself to chastise me for complaining. WTF?

I was able to see Maril, Ron, Tobias, Cait, and Sam interviewed but really wasn't worth it. A few minor spoilers were shared, they were all gracious, but I was left feeling grateful that my job does not entail walking a red carpet/answering the same questions over and over and over again. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they do it. But it reminds me of being at a bad work cocktail party.

I get really easy second-hand embarrassment, especially when it comes to fandoms. Not sure why. (I wonder sometimes if I blocked something out from my New Kids on the Block days.) So unless I know an interview is excellent, I usually prefer to read articles rather than watch potential cringe-inducing videos. Nine times out of ten the actors/producers/crew members are cool about everything, so it's no big deal.  The Outlander gang always seems especially gracious and easy-going. I hope they have a great rest of the week in NYC.

I'm sorry that happened but I lol when I read this. It's pretty typical to get scolded for any critique, no matter how lightly, with anything to do with OL.

Starz has launched a streaming service for $8.99USD a month. Subscribers will see the premiere of the second season this Thursday, April 7. Two days ahead of the TV premiere.  Due to this development, I may open the ep threads thread a day or two early because there will be leaked copies of the episode.

 

Starz still has not released the episode synopsis.

Here is a link to a really good Outlander panel.  Possibly the best I've ever seen.  The moderator is awful -- I wanted to tear my hair out pretty much every time she opened her mouth -- but the good news is that she at least had the good sense to let the panel talk without interruption most of the time.  So 95% of this panel is really entertaining.  What makes it particularly good is that it focuses primarily on production.  This is the first panel where I've seen the production designer.  He shows drawings and lots of shots of sets including many that have not been seen in the trailer.  If you consider sets a spoiler, consider your self warned.  Terry gives a nice long talk about costume design complete with both the sources of inspirations for many of Claire's costumes and lots and lots of photos / scenes highlighting many costumes across many characters.  The talk highlights one key costume for Claire that has not been seen before.  Again, if seeing the costumes is a spoiler for you, consider yourself warned. There are also a few scenes where, as a reader, I could detect some key moments that have not even been hinted at in the trailers.  I honestly don't think a non-reader could pick up on the things I was reacting to but they are there.

 

There is also a mild spoiler about Frank's storyline in episode 1.  It's been hinted at elsewhere so I'm not upset by what I heard but they do trip up and discuss plot for just a moment.  

 

Note, the video appears to be over 2 hours long but it's not -- the first hour is blank -- just fast forward to about the mid-point when the talk actually begins.  Enjoy!

I agree Nidratime! I love the whole fish out of water/time take on Claire costumes.

 

I'm dying to have a good look at Master Raymond's shop. I feel I could get lost in there.

 

This show has been as immersive as the books, so yeah to all the awards.

 

I've never seen (and I'm 61) anything come close to the kind of quality and attention to detail before, and that includes many BBC shows!

Thanks for posting that - these panels get really repetitive after a while but this one was different and informative.

I think it's really interesting that Terry and the Production Designer were encouraged to put together show-and-tell presentations for the Emmy panel. I suspect that everyone thinks this season is the best shot each of them has for an Emmy nomination and that's why they focused on those areas during this panel. I think those presentations are the logical next step in a campaign to get the show recognized with awards and I think putting the costumes on display in the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue was the opening salvo in that campaign. I hope it works. I do think this show is a visual feast. Even the gut-wrenching last episode of last season had shots that were startlingly beautiful (like the shot of Claire through the trap door after Black Jack tosses her out of Wentworth.)

Is it Saturday yet?
