According to Ronald D
Line of Events
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse in World War II, is mysteriously transported back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a dashing Highland warrior and is drawn into an epic rebellion. Moore (the TV series’ creator), her crew decided to keep the Gaelic lyrics rather than translate them into English. This preserved the first-person narrative while showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic. This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he had seen something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternative film starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart.
In a few episodes, characters say “OK”
; An American term that only came into use in the 19th century. The opening theme song changes from season to season to reflect the events of the story. In the first half of the second season (which is set in France), some of the lyrics are in French. The second half of season two (which is mostly about preparing for war) has a militaristic drum roll added to the opening theme. Season 3 has added tribal drums, as much of the season is set in the West Indies.

For the past 23 years Outlander has been a constant presence in my life. I have read it countless times, in fact I only started reading it again yesterday. I am proud and humbled to be one of the original seven women of Lallybroch, joining one of the first global groups dedicated to Diana Gabaldon and The Books.
Now it’s here
The idea of a film version of The Books has teased and teased us for decades, flirting with our imaginations and desires. And here it is. Every detail is brilliant – the script, the costumes, the sets and, yes, the actors. The series is a visual companion to The Books, and a blessed companion it is. It’s also an adaptation, not a verbatim recitation.
Caitriona Balfe truly IS Claire, as Sam Heughan IS Jamie
Diana’s continued involvement in the creative process ensures fidelity to our beloved characters and our story. She is fiercely protective of her story and her fans – who are both legion and legend. Hats off to Ron Moore, Maril Davis and the entire crew (Terry for the amazing costumes) of our Outlander…
