WatchrTina June 21, 2016 Share June 21, 2016 That was excellent Petunia846 -- one of the best interviews I've seen with Cait. She's talking to other actors about acting -- people who are in the very position she was in just a couple of years ago -- so her comments are very heart-felt and the questions are all very craft-oriented rather than the usual fan-generated questions. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9414-outlander-in-the-media/page/23/#findComment-2343360

WatchrTina July 1, 2016 Share July 1, 2016 The thing I find most interesting about the Vanity Fair article is that they refer to Outlander as a "mega-hit". Is it? I love it. Most of you love it. But when I talk about it in my real life hardly anyone I know watches it (unlike Game of Thrones where I've attending "watch" parties and have had long water-cooler discussions about it at work.) Is it just that I'm an over-50 woman and most of the people I work with are 20-somethings? Is that why I never encounter the Outlander fan base? We are described in this article as a "fervent audience". I think that code for saying we're a bit cray-cray but whatever. The article DOES acknowledge that STARZ is targeting audiences that are voracious users of social media. Represent! Now excuse me while I go check my twitter and Facebook feeds and then go vote for Sam and Cait and Duncan and the show in E!Online's latest popularity contest. (Just kidding -- I am so OVER voting in those contests. The kids who love "The 100" can have it now.)

I know a couple of people IRL who watch Outlander and we compare notes, but I know way more people who also watch Game of Thrones and who I can chat with about it. And most of my friends are avid television watchers--we couch potatoes have to stick together. ;)--so I'm actually surprised more of them don't watch. As an result, I know not to even think about getting on social media or the internet before seeing a GOT episode because I know spoilers will be everywhere. It's like a madhouse. It was the same way when I watched The Walking Dead. On the other hand, I have to go looking for Outlander spoilers. I really could have gone without watching the entire season and not encountered any major spoilers from the social media sites and websites I visit. It just doesn't seem to generate the same amount of chatter in my friend circle. I would be curious to know if that's true for others. Concerning age range, I'm in my 20s, and the people I know who watch are in their 20s and 30s, so I don't know that it's necessarily an age thing. Incidentally, I work at a public library, and the first season's DVDs seems to circulate well with adults of all ages. In fact, there's usually a bit of a wait for it, and we have multiple copies in circulation. For that reason, I know it is popular with our patrons, but even then, I don't have a lot of people chatting with me about it when they check it out or return it, which has been the case with other shows, like Game of Thrones. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9414-outlander-in-the-media/page/23/#findComment-2374674

Will Outlander ever break free of its “kilty pleasure” stereotype in the press? It’s getting close. I don’t think anyone could watch “Wentworth Prison,” or “To Ransom a Man’s Soul,” or “Faith,” or “Prestonpans,” just to name a few, and still reduce the show’s appeal to only one gender or viewers who like only one genre.

Nidratime July 11, 2016 Share July 11, 2016 (edited) To be frank -- pardon the pun -- I don't even care about the initials. It never had a romantic impact for me in the story because I don't find carving into skin an expression of love. Leaving that aside, fans who do "love it" prod and prod and prod, and before you know it people are exchanging irritated tweets. I think, after the first time someone mentions their "unhappiness," they should let it go because, what in the world do they expect to happen now? A redo? Time and time again, Diana, the writers, *and* fans have acknowledged that this is an adaptation, but the moment "their" little special moment doesn't make the cut, it's all over and it's devastating and it's not my story, ad nauseum, etc. Edited July 11, 2016 by Nidratime 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9414-outlander-in-the-media/page/23/#findComment-2395418
