This thread is driving me insane ! I have no idea 'how' or 'when' I will get to see this series! I fee like bawling like a baby! I have to wait until the 24th - so I'm super jealous of all the US fans!

I just called and ordered Starz. Hate paying cable even more money but all these clips make it impossible to miss this series! I'm also re-reading Outlander again before it starts.

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. Okay so.. 1. 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. You have baby brain...times two! LOL! You forgot. That would be kind of fun to come do marathons with you! But I'm calling the quiet baby - you get the Irish step dancer in training! I'm just finishing the second book now and I've been enjoying putting "real" faces to some of the characters.

Anyone watch the episode yet? I'm just about to watch it and I'm hoping my DS (11months) will sit here and play by himself for just a brief bit of time for me to watch part (if not all) of the episode.
On FB Starz was saying anyone can watch the first episode....

I started to watch it on my computer this morning but in the meantime, my husband has decided he wants to watch it with me so he's been trying to set up the internet on our satellite receiver so we can watch it On Demand. That has involved a lot of swearing. We have a wireless router, we have a wireless receiver, why should it be so hard? Now he is on the phone with the satellite provider swearing at them too. I'm 11 minutes in on my computer and now waiting in limbo to see if he can get it figured out.

I just watched the first episode on starz.com - I am so excited for this series!! About halfway thru I *might* have called Comcast and ordered starz... I knew there was no way I was going to be able to wait to see this at someone elses house, or worse yet, wait for the DVD.

:2thumbsup:I just finished watching it. I think they've done a good job of adapting it to film and it was interesting to put faces with characters from the book. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the series.

Finished watching it too! Loved it. Will probably watch it a few more time, so I can get DH to watch it as well.

OMG that was awesome!!!! I did notice differences but they didn't bother me. ( like castle leoch - the boat ride vs the visit by car ). Nothing I would have ever noticed if I had not *just* read the books. I thought it was perfect.
Uncle Lamb was exactly as I'd thought. Sam is a perfect Jamie
It's funny I never realized that I hadn't really had a mental image of Clair at all. Lol
