Outlander: Through the Looking Glass

It’s here! The TV adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling novel “Outlander” has arrived. And I’ve decided to recap it because…why not?

Note: I have read the book the series is based on. For the most part, I will not focus on divergences from the source material unless I feel there is something BIG being ignored that you should be aware of. But based on this first episode, I doubt that’ll be necessary.

Let’s begin! And we’ll start with the credits. My God, they are gorgeous! The shots of the Scottish landscape as well as shots no doubt of scenes coming up throughout the miniseries—absolutely perfect. So is the song that plays over them. Brilliant work, production.

Outlander Has a Heroine!

Outlander fans rejoice!

Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser has been cast! 

 She will be played by Catriona Balfe. I don't know much about her but Diana Gabaldon raved about her. Looking at her, though, I think she'll be good.

Can't wait to see!
