I bet she cannot wait for it to start so everyone can stop whining at her about it. As a long time BSG fan, I know what Ron can do with a story. He is magical. I really think the fans will not be disappointed, no matter what mental image they have of these characters from reading the stories.

I really think the fans will not be disappointed, no matter what mental image they have of these characters from reading the stories. Oh for sure! I was getting super annoyed with all the fans going on and on about it not being their Jamie. He isn't my Jamie either (I always pictured Sean Bean....lol) but if Diana was saying without question that he was Jamie, then it was good enough for me! im so sad we have to wait a few extra weeks in Canada!

I can't wait!! I plan on DVRing this series because I know (at least I hope) I'll want to watch the episodes over & over again. The latest trailer released last week just gave me goosebumps. I watched the panel on ComicCon too & I really think it's going to be good even if it doesn't follow the book to a T. That's okay...
Thought it was really interesting to hear there will be scenes done all in Gaelic & no subtitles. Just like the book.

We need details! i like Sam as Jamie, but I'm having a hard time remembering that it's YOUNG Jamie. I just finished Written in My Heart's Own Blood and Jamie is 45-50 ish. But he's still just as hot as ever!

ok so yes... NYC premiere was INSANE. Sam IS JAMIE-- he is perfect.. and while I was NOT a Frank fan before I saw the first episode... OMG I love Tobias.. he was awesome as Frank and (almost) made me feel like yes she needs to get back to him.. vs after reading Outlander for the 1000th time I was always like.. WHY DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO HIM WHEN YOU HAVE JAMIE!.. also a HUGE plus was that Tobias was completely hysterical, driest sense of humor going and witty during the Q&A.. he was fabulous. LOVED him -- Diana never ceases to amaze me with her wit and charm-- Sam and Kate... I think are still a bit star struck with all of this insanity and while they ARE Jamie and Claire.. they don't carry themselves nearly as well as Tobias/Diana and Ron when speaking off the cuff -- however.. loved them nonetheless. We got there, saw them come into the theater.. pics/autographs etc... saw the first episode which was AMAZING and really left you wanting more... even the security guard seated a few rows away turned to us when the episode nded and was like... "wait wait what happens next?" HAHAHA The Q&A was hysterical.. I think the link is up on lifestream to see it I think. They really look like they are having a ball doing all this. And yes... I'm embarrassed to say after the show we waited by the stage door with all the groupies to see them come out and get pics and paw at them... :::hangs head in shame::: i can try to upload the images.... let me see if i can get that to work!

OMG dazeepetals the episode was amazing... seeing it on the big screen with the music and 1000 of my nearest outlander friends was just amazing. I think they have done a great job of staying really true to the story while adding in some details/scenes that were not in the story to give it some backstory. That first scene with Jamie... and if you read the books.. you know when you first meet him in the cottage with his shoulder injury... was Amazing... it was just everything I imagine with the band of "ruffians" speaking a language that Claire didn't understand to Claires complete uncertainy of the situation to Jamie just being injured, dirty and bloody and sweaty and wrapped in a kilt... fantastic. I can't wait until august 2nd when it comes out on STARZ on demand so I can see it again!!

Glad you had fun. I have a friend who doesn't get Starz and we've arranged to meet every Monday evening to watch the episode, as that's when she's working on my side of town. I told my DH last night, "If she seriously thinks I'm going to go from Saturday to Monday without watching it, she's living in Disneyland." I'll be seeing each episode twice.

In a fit of pure insanity, I'm holding out and not getting Starz. My cable bill is ridiculous as is and I hate dealing with the cable company to change anything - it's always a mess. I am hoping that they will either release the series to iTunes or put it on DVD when the series ends. I know I want to own it, so I'm willing to wait a bit. However, I will be reading the episode guides and reviews as the series runs so I can feel like I'm not completely missing out on it. And I hope there will be a thread here for me to read more about the series as it airs. I've read Outlander at least 4 times and just finished reading it again. I'm reading the entire series again before reading the newest book. As I've been reading, I've been watching the sneak peeks and clips and checking out photos so I can "adapt" my mental pictures of the characters to the ones cast. I was one of the "that isn't my Jamie" camp, but I'm warming up to him after having seen the last peek they released. I think he might just have the right stuff to make up for the fact that he's not the man most of us imagined in the role. And 14u14me - there are no words to express how jealous I am.

I think Sam is going to be fantastic as Jamie. Diana Gabaldon created Jamie and she said he is perfect so that works for me. I read a comment from Diana Gabaldon on Facebook that sums it up for me:

Yes, but if we watch the first episode on Aug 2 it will, presumably, be two weeks before we get a new one.
I can't decide if it's worth it.

I upgraded our cable, specifically to get Starz. I'm one that only turns the tv on to watch a specific show, maybe 3 or 4 shows at best. So, this is HUGE for me. I'm so excited!!

Yep, I'm excited. I've been waiting for months and now it's so close! We order starz from our cable company. I think it's 10 bucks a month. We will cancel when the show is over for the season.

That peek is the one that's making me think he just might convince me he's going to be a good Jamie - that little smile at the end...

Why didn't I know you loved Outlander?! Or did I and I forgot? I just finished going through the entire series for a fourth time (!) so I'd be ready for MOBY. 2. So..... I should keep the episodes on my TiVo and you can come do a marathon with me midway through or at the end of the series? By the end I might have cuddly babies to loan out while we watch.
