What's new

Outlander

AHHH... I did. And although I suspect this series will be a bit more graphic than the books (seeing is harder than reading, IMO), I'm still gonna watch!

In fact, we subscribed to Starz just for this show, LOL. It worked out great b/c there was some football show DH wanted to watch on HBO so he subscribed to that for a month. I jumped on the bandwagon, hehe. Don't know how long my DH will allow it, but I'm hoping he forgets :giggle

Anyway, I'm like a kid waiting on Christmas waiting for Episode 2 tonight. If only my kids would go to bed early!

And did you hear... they have already extended it for Season Two... after just one episode. Awesome (if I still get it *wink*)
 
We have watched both episodes and are hooked. I had not been familiar with the books until a friend told me to watch the show. Am in the middle of reading Game of Thrones before I watch that series so will have to put the Outlander books on my read list after that.
 
I have it available to me on demand, so one day soon, I can watch a whole bunch of episodes in a row! (I'm not a tv watcher)...but I do plan on watching. I am excited... I've heard many good things!
 
My husband actually ordered the Starz network so I could watch this. I love the books! I am not much of a tv person but the first two episodes have been good! (Maybe a little graphic for me with the lashing...ack) I think the casting is great and I am looking forward to seeing where they take this series. I have to say the music is awesome too.
 
Well, I need to check this out I guess. I have missed the first two episodes so I will have to set my DVR to record any that happen to come on.
 
In Canada we have to wait until 26th Aug for first show - in meantime I'm re-reading. I read it years ago when first published. Fascinating premise - parts annoyed me - such as allowing burs etc to remain in their hair - but them I'm picky :)
 
I'm currently reading book 7. Book 8 is patiently waiting on my Kindle.

As for watching the show... I saw the premiere episode on Starz.com. I have to wait for the DVD's to come out to see the rest. hubby said "no way" to subscribing. If he had his way I wouldn't have television or internet. LOL (he's extremely frugal - and because he doesn't use these services at our home he sees no point in having them)
 
dh is watching it with me. i didn't think he'd like it. but he's hanging in there.
 
I watched episode one last night (Canada, so just available) and have not read the books. I think I am the odd one out here, I didn't really like it, but can't quite put my finger on what it was that didn't appeal to me. I will watch the second episode to see if I am going to continue with it.

It seems I have read this books way back, but the sequel needed to come and I lost track... Will definitely watch it!
 
I am loving the series and am very impressed by how well they've adapted the book! I waited to weigh in until after the wedding episode since I think that is a key event that says a lot about chemistry, etc. I was worried they would screw it up but I'm very happy with the series so far, wedding and all! :)
 
I am a big fan of the books, so I watched the series with a bit of uncertainty. But I've been so impressed with how well they've brought the book to life. I didn't realize that they were breaking the first year of episodes into two batches, so I was disappointed when the mid-season break suddenly came up! I guess it's starting up again in April - looking forward to it!
 
I just finished up the first set of episodes too. I'm really enjoying them even though the characters aren't as I'd pictured when reading the book.

I feel the same way. Actually, I thought Claire was spot on, although I hear her voice as Davina Porter's (b/c I listened to the Audiobooks as well... highly recommend). But I always saw Jamie as just "more". I like Sam, but hope he grows into the character a bit more :)
 
I'm excited for the second part of season 1 to come out. I love it! The first episode I wasn't quite sure, but now I'm hooked! Yes, Sam isn't my Jamie but he'll do. ;)

And the opening song... love!
 
Oh, the music is outstanding! I've considered getting the soundtrack.
