Outlander

[Queersetti]

I'm a bit surprised no one has started a thread about this program yet.

I have not read the books, and came into viewing the show with a completely open mind. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It took a little while for the first episode to really get going, but the acting, the dialogue, the production values were all first rate.

Anyone else watch?

I have read all the books and can not wait to start the series, Q.

Honestly, I was not even aware that the series had started yet. I've been looking forward to it because I could not put the books down. Love the characters and the tale.

It debuted last night.

I watched it yesterday, a good beginning

I have read the books and seen the first ep, as it was released last week.

I love the dude playing Jamie, not too happy with Claire.

The only complaint I had with the cast was that every time the husband was on, I kept having Red Wedding flashbacks.

I've read most of the books, and loved them. I watched the first show for free from my laptop a few days ago and loved it. Wish I had Starz so I could watch the series. Can someone tell me how I can watch the entire series from my laptop? I don't have a tv. This may be a dumb question, but I'm an Outlander groupie. I'm kind of desperate.

I don't think there is any way to get it without subscribing to Starz. They may have an online-only subscription, I don't know.

I watched it at the urging of the other GBer in the family, who loves all the books.

It combines several genres I ordinarily couldn't give two shits about (bodice-ripping, Celtic mysticism, time travel, etc), but Ron Moore has some credibility with me due to (most of) Battlestar Galactica, which on the surface seemed an even bigger longshot to be any good. So I'll see where it goes.

they made a tv show about a mitsubishi? that's kinda fucked up.

Although my irredeemable love of costume and scenery porn has led me to watching many historical romance novels in film and television—and not even necessarily good ones—I just can't do it.

I absolutely despise time travel plotlines (and especially time travel romances) and it's just all way too hetero for me.

Honestly, I was not even aware that the series had started yet.

Well, fortunately for you, they'll show it 40 times a week, so you'll have plenty of chances to watch it.

Out of curiosity, do you ever make posts that don't include unnecessarily large pictures?

I browse this site on my 17" macbook pro, so I prefer to post pics that fill up the screen. I would have preferred a cropped pic but this was the only one I found of her behind. Out of curiosity, do you browse online with your phone?

I loved the books too much to watch this. Would hate to read the next one and picture the actors instead of the ones in my head.

Thats how I think of Kings books.

Last night I said I was excited to see the series. This morning, I'm having second thoughts. Too many times I've set out to watch a movie based on a book and find myself disappointed & feeling like something is missing.

I realize that a screenplay or made for TV series cannot be expected to be an exact adaptation of the book itself, but sometimes what gets left behind is what makes the book so good.

I started reading it from the beginning today and I noticed I was hearing Claire in that actresses voice. So I may hold off seeing the rest of the show until I get through them again.

Yeah...

Thank you for answering my question. In answer to your question: no.

I've read most of the books multiple times, and am currently reading the latest one. I saw the first episode, and really enjoyed it. I even bit the bullet and got Starz so I could watch the rest. The casting doesn't bother me at all.
