As Veltigar said, the concept is a bit high-end and that can be quite good although I have always been satisfied with the "woman going to 18th century to find hunky Scot" concept... I am sucker for romance sometimes... As was said, it does look beautiful. It is a bit more colorful than it was. I think we have French to blame for that. I have no idea what comes next but I will enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my thoughts on Claire, time travel and Frank in some threads on the previously.tv forums outlander section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go back at some point in the future, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it extremely boring to read because the series is in many aspects the carbon copy. I have read some 100 pages and there were nothing more. Usually the adaptations are like tip of the iceberg. Not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 So season 2 is apparently shorter by 3 episodes. Will it still be split in two? Now that Black Sails is done, I'm trying to determine if I should keep my Starz subscription, or discontinue and resume only once the full season of Outlander is out. If it's even worth it.

The first season was way to bloated. There really aren't many stories that can support 16 quality episodes, especially in the current production cycle. 10 minutes ago, Corvinus said: Now that Black Sails is done, I'm trying to determine if I should keep my Starz subscription, or discontinue and resume only once the full season of Outlander is out.

Jack Bauer 24 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm glad this was trimmed down to 13 episodes. I don't think they'll do a split season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 This is a quality show... I didn't feel like S1 went too long, but I also have no problem with them trimming it down either.... Starz has been on a pretty good roll, so if this is their call --whether it be purely a budget thing, or if this is how they feel they can best tell their story-- I'm cool with it... ... side note.... Jamie's sister Jenny --Laura Donnelly-- is a main character on Beowulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The Entertainment Weekly February 25 print issue was Outlander Jamie and Clare cover, photo spread inside for season 2, and long feature. It was scrumptious. Especially on a day when, unusually for my time of supermarket shopping, there were long lines at the cashier stations O, here the photos are, online.

The whole show is basically sold on the premise of a topless Jamie, go look at the EW cover. Its a bit like mr Darcey and his tight white bulge, or Poldark and the topless elf, the way its the focus of the promotional material. Theres a sort of reverse sexism that is vaguely interesting at play, a bit like how Baywatch used to be sold purely on the shots of Pams boobs.

Well, it seems that entire man-candy thing that is going on in Hollywood is actually liberating for women. If media plays the sex card with men, why not also women? And if actresses have to be sexy having almost nothing on themselves, why not having shirtless guys doing the same thing? The principle is simple: Women, just like men, can objectify what they see on screen. Equality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
