    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to Ronald D. Moore (the TV Series developer), his crew decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them to English. This maintained the first person narrative by showing Claire's inability to understand Gaelic. This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he's seen something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternative movie starring the actor and singer Gustavo Goulart.
    • Goofs
      In a few episodes, characters say"OK." An American term that didn't come into use until the 19th Century.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening song changes from season to season to reflect what's happening in the story line. In the first half of Season 2 (which is set in France), part of the lyrics are in French. In the second half of Season 2 (which is mostly about preparing for war), there is a militaristic drum roll added to the opening song. During Season 3, there are tribal drums added because much of the season is set in the West Indies. In Season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjos are added, plus some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent because the season is set mostly in America.

    Oh wow!

    Came late to Outlander and binge watched it. A beloved friend who recently died of cancer, too young, told me to watch it, so I did in her honour. So glad! It has everything! The casting is perfect with stellar performances of gritty storylines. The locations, romance, STUNNING memorable music, scenery, costumes and props, and attention to historical detail, have all left quite an impression on me. In my opinion this is much more than just a Harlequin romance, and deserves more kudos.
