Not sure where this is more appropriate - Outlander in the Media?  The Cast (Author) in Other Roles?  Several of my favorite authors have written for a crime fiction anthology series, including Michael Connelly, Lee Child, J.A. Jance and J.D. Robb.  The books contain short stories, each co-written by 2 authors, and it's fun to read the stories and be able to pick out the voices of the authors I'm familiar with.  I was excited to see the newest book in the series, Matchup, includes none other than Herself, paired up with Steve Berry.  They're not always a man/woman pairing - this one seems to be.  It's out June 13.

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

Tweeted image from Caitriona marking the end of season 3 filming.  Ladies & gentlemen, it's a wrap!  Cheers!

BTW I'm guessing the thing they're standing in is a warm-up pool used for scenes where the actor is required to be soaking wet.  Here's a different tweet showing Cait in the same pool earlier that day.

So if you've read the book you can guess what scene or scenes they were filming.

 

Here's Sam's tweet from earlier that day.

I dunno about that tri-corner hat . . .

 

Hmmmm.  I've just spotted that others have figured out how to imbed a twitter image in this board.  Let's see if I can figure out how to do it too.

 

 
Ooooh it worked. Aren't the colors in that photo AMAZING!

Saw that too. It's a shame, but I did catch her say most of the S4 writers are women, so that gives me some hope. Frankly all I really care about writing-wise is if Moore stays out of it as much as possible. (The elements I hate inevitably turn out to be his ideas...)

Anne Kenney said on twitter that she only wrote episode 3.02 of this coming season. If she commented on any other episode, it might be that she was the supervising producer for that block. Remember, the writer/producers take turns supervising the filming of a block of two or so episodes and they are responsible for on-the-fly rewrites at that time. These episodes may not be ones they, themselves, wrote.

Outlander hired at least four -- I believe -- new writers after season 2 and I'm sure they've been involved in writing episodes for season 3. With Ron involved in another project, probably splitting his time, with Ira Behr and his writing assistant Richard Kahan gone, and with Diana not contributing an episode, they needed a batch of newbies to the show for this season. While that changeover might seem like a lot, we have to remember that this show was not created, whole cloth, by Ron Moore or a writing team. This is Diana's work and they're generally following her blueprint. When a show's creator and/or original showrunner is busy or leaves, there's always a danger the show will never be the same, but I think that's far more of a problem when it comes to shows that are the original vision of that showrunner and there's no book or "bible" to follow to sustain that vision. We also have to remember that Matt Roberts along with Maril Davis were two of the earliest and biggest fans of the books and they are still very much involved. In fact, I'm guessing that Matt has been taking over showrunner duties from Ron when he's not available, but that's just a guess.

"Outlander" is going to be widely represented at San Diego Comic Con, July 21 - Caitriona, Sam, Tobias, Sophie Skelton, Rik Rankin. Ron Moore, Maril Davis and Diana Gabaldon are all attending the panel.

http://tvline.com/2017/07/06/outlander-comic-con-2017-panel-date-time-where/

and STARZ will supposely put up a video from the event for all fans to see.

I know we're a ways away from Season 4, but this gets me excited.

I've been guessing/hoping one of the screen tests for Roger  

Spoiler

was the verbal and physical exchange between him and Jamie in DoA, when Roger returns for Bree and Jemmy. I love imagining Rik and Sam going toe-to-toe - neither of them budging an inch.

I'm really excited to see the chemistry between those two guys, even when it's the usual SDCC panel stuff.

You can watch it online either with the Starz app or Starz online.

Not while in Scotland. The Starz availability is location-based.

I love the new poster, they always do a good job with that type of stuff.  I always loved the original poster of Jamie standing on the hill with his hand outstretched to Claire and Claire in the middle leaning towards Jamie but looking back to Frank's hand, it told the whole premise of Outlander in one picture....

I'll be in Edinburgh 9/5 - 9/14.  I wonder if I can find it on TV there?  I'll be taping it at home, but any delay is too long!

Actually, Outlander also airs on Amazon Prime in the U.K. (including Scotland) and it may also be airing on the UK's Channel 4 set of channels. Although Amazon Prime UK is far more likely to air at, or a few hours after Starz in the US.

Yeah on second (third, fourth, fifth, .... :-) ) look I see it's a skyline. So now I'll say, they missed an awesome opportunity to use a shot of a bunch of headstones to imply all the people that Claire loved in her time in the past that are now gone.

I say Boston. They go a lot of places in the books, but I don't think they've ever done London.

re: Sam and Caitriona. Obsessive real people shipping is creepy. So is real people fanfic. I can go as far as friends with benefits (perhaps early on in the series) but I don't want to think of them in any other way.

I'm not familiar with the Boston skyline, but could it possibly be Edinburgh? Just for the Scotland connection to the stones. Or maybe Inverness, which is where Roger is when Claire and Brianna visit and closer to Craig na Dun and Culloden.

Edit with !!light bulb!! over my head: In the first episode Claire asks about the lights of Inverness on her first night in the past. It wasn't as big of a city 200 years ago.

Well, I felt *forced* to go back and rewatch the promo clip over and over again. ;P And I looked at pictures of Boston's skyline, and I think that's it. Especially because of that one clocktower you can see really well towards the end. It's not Boston's modern skyline, but of course it wouldn't be. The Outlander folks are clever like that.

I love love love Sam's short hair.  Did I mention that I love it?

I love it, too. He clearly prefers his hair short so now he doesn't have to slick it back or do other awful things to keep in under control.  That's the best I've seen his hair look (in real life) ever.

Richard Rankin is adorable. 

Word.   And Sophie is beautiful, my goodness, her skin is flawless!

And is it me, or did Tobias just seem over it throughout the weekend?  I didn't watch any panels, just saw bits and pieces, but it seemed like in a lot of the photos he seemed to be internally rolling his eyes....

And a bit of snark, and I've mentioned this before, but Caitriona looked so frumpy.  It's just she is so tall and elegant looking and she was a MODEL for heavens sakes, yet she always looks like she's slouching and her clothes seem ill fitting and not flattering at all to me.

Tobias always looked like that, to me. But if he's over this, who can blame him? His part is pretty much done.  

 

As for Cait, I thought she looked really cute in the tank and long pleated skirt.  She looked very naturally beautiful - in a kind of 70's way.  The only thing she wore that I disliked was the dress that she wore to the party on Saturday night.  It was weirdly frumpy.

Yes, Toolazy, you are right!  Wonder why they had him attend in the first place instead of having someone who has a bigger part in the coming seasons, like David Berry or the guy playing adult Fergus.   But I suppose it would be kind of weird to leave him out, though, as he is an integral part of S3.    And, I'm sorry, but can they just leave Diana home next time?

I'm pretty sure David wasn't available this year because of his other show filming in Oz and the recent birth of his son. As Ron stated several times over SDCC, this season and Voyager are a major pivot in the overall story of Outlander as the story that began in the first novel/season mostly conclude (Frank/Black Jack) and new stories/characters are introduced and take the stage going forward.

 

The other thing that keeps getting media mentions is Starz's decision to have their booth this year in the form of the Print Shop. That and the Vikings funeral for Rangar in the bay. Those two things probably worth the price of admission.

Tobias is a pretty big star and definitely considered the 3rd lead in the show so it's no surprise to me that he was on the panel (as opposed to actors playing characters that we haven't met yet).  It's been made pretty clear that there is more of Frank in season 3 than there is in the book and of course Black Jack is also in season 3. As for Tobias being "over" appearing at SDCC panels and the like -- I just think it's that Tobias is naturally more subdued than either Sam or Cait.  He never plays exuberant characters -- they are always cool & calculating (or -- as in the case of Edmure Tully -- a bit of a fuck-up).  I think that's because Tobias is naturally reserved -- he's got that stereotypical upper-class British stiff-upper-lip thing going on.  That being said -- I think he has fun at these conventions.  He's just not a bubbly guy.

Frank may not play as big of a roll after S3,

Spoiler

but there's still lots of flashbacks and stuff we learn about Frank in later books, not only from Claire, but from Brianna too

--plus if they delve into any of the story from the novellas,

Spoiler

Frank has something to do with a young Roger and apparently knew Roger's father a bit. And, he was doing research we never saw first hand in the books too and is aware of the conspiracy that comes forward in the later books.

TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't pepper in a bit of Frank in every season.

Just realized I was in a no book talk thread instead of the spoiler thread...sorry!!
