Where are my Outlander ladies?

chickpea912 · July 2014

I hate to break into your previously baby/pump/bottle/nursing/etc. programming, but I've been slightly obsessed and didn't think I've seen anyone bring it up...

Is anyone else going crazy for the show to start? Anyone watching the Comic Con and 92Y panels?!? Anyone else in Facebook groups that have found amazing screenshots of thigh porn (for both Sam and Graham - gotta love those kilts).

Anyway, I'm about to start the recorded stream from the 92Y Q&A, and I'm dying for the first episode, so I thought I'd check in.

Oh,and I finally got DH to read the book. And he didn't hate it! Gave it four stars on Goodreads and I think he plans to read the second (not sure beyond that, but hey, I'm just happy he didn't scoff at it).

I'll just leave these here... I think I need a 12 step program.

My sister is going crazy for it. She had to change her TV programming so she would get the channel. When does it start?

katekat8721 · July 2014

Haven't read the books but interested in the show

I'm usually an "I must read the books before the movie!' type of girl, but I just don't have the time. Boo.

@jlripl It officially starts August 9, but they are doing a preview starting this Saturday, August 2 - I think online and on demand? My guess is to try to entice people to subscribe to Starz for the show.

I'm excited to watch! Although I have to be honest, I've read the first three books and I did not like the second two nearly as much as the first.

@njbabymama I can relate to that - they definitely slow down a bit, although I'm on book 7 and still enjoying it overall. I just don't have that frenzied NEED to read like I did with Outlander. I actually paused Echo in the Bone so I could start to reread Outlander for the show.

@katekat8721 Me too! I managed to convince DH to read it, and he initially balked at the size of the book, but he ended up plowing through it with minimal grumbling about romance and sex scenes. From what I've heard from the many, many panels and interviews and articles, they keep it pretty true to the book, so I have faith that it'll all be okay.

DH just canceled Starz

Boo.

chickpea912 · July 2014

@Rosebud2587 Major boo!

nunzchucks · July 2014

::off to add Starz::

Rosebud2587 · July 2014

@chickpea912 I know.

I know he wants to start cutting down on "unnecessary" spending in order to pay off more of our debt but I was just like, "why now?". Either I'll have to find a way to watch it online or wait even longer until it's released on DVD.

chickpea912 · July 2014

@Rosebud2587 If you're in the DC area, you're welcome to come watch at my house!

Rosebud2587 · July 2014

@chickpea912 thanks for the offer but I'm in Georgia; although I've always wanted to visit DC...

It feels like everyone on this BMB is in Georgia

I just finished watching the first episode. Anyone else have a chance so far?

YES!!! Looks like they are going to do an awesome job recreating the books! I always pictured Jamie being a bit bigger though.

I believe Sam is 6'2" or 6'3". Caitriona is tall (former model), so I don't think his size is as emphasized as it is when he is standing next to Diana Gabaldon.

chickpea912 · August 2014

Like here. I have always thought of Claire being a stand in for Diana

. So this is how I envisioned the matching of Claire and Jamie.

nunzchucks · August 2014

I really liked it! I remember Frank/Black Jack from the HBO series Rome. Fun to see him again.

YES exactly!

nunzchucks Frank/Black Jack looks just like I pictured him!

JujuB22 · August 2014

I always thought of the dragoon from the movie The Patriot. It is the same guy right?

JujuB22 · August 2014

NM, looked it up. They do look similar though.

nunzchucks · August 2014

@JujuB22‌ They do look similar!

chickpea912 · August 2014

Omg, was he Marc Antony in Rome??

tbmadeamistake · August 2014

I'm watching it right now with little man asleep on my chest. Will read all the other comments when I'm done

nunzchucks · August 2014

@chickpea912‌ He was Brutus. He was also on GoT as Catlin Stark's brother.

It's been a while since I watched Rome - I think I meant Brutus when I said MA. And yeah, bad news about his wedding in GOT

tbmadeamistake · August 2014

That. Was. Excellent. Now to see if dh's friend can find the rest for me online somewhere because we have no cable, let alone starz.

Katieluc106 · August 2014

Never heard of it. Watched the series premiere yesterday because it was on demand, so into it already. But I guess it's not supposed to premiere until this week. Not sure why it's already on demand.

chickpea912 · August 2014

@katieluc106 I don't know for certain, but I am guessing they are trying a bunch of different things to hype it up. They just had a few different things for it at Comic Con last week.

Katieluc106 · August 2014

@chickpea912‌ oh I'm hyped up!

chickpea912 · August 2014

DH just sent me this with a huge rave - I just got him to read the book, and he liked it (4 of 5 stars, he said), but he seemed to really dig this article, which makes me happy
