Dear Diane–

No. But if you do read the books, you’ll find out who he is. [g]

I haven’t yet had the pleasure of reading the books, but I have a question about the small boy the vicar adopted. Is he related to Claire from the past? A great great grandson maybe?

Diana,
Never, I repeat never, have I been happy with the ppl chosen to play the parts of characters I’ve loved in books. The actors chosen to play Jamie and Claire are perfect…they are perfect…If I were 20 yrs younger, I’d be stalking Sam/Jamie, he is Jamie, no one else could of done this part, he’s perfect. And Catorina/Claire, again perfect, their chemistry is also perfect. I’m DYING for it to come back on tv…….btw, so far I’ve watched the wedding night episode about 4 times already.
So happy with it all, but I hate waiting ;(

I was apprehensive about watching the series, yet counting down the days as well… I almost never watch a video interpretation of a book I have loved, and the entire Outlander series definitely fits into that category. FYI, I have the series in hardback at each of our three homes, all of the DG books on my kindle and on audio. I am reading it again for the third time in 2014; I’ve probably read the entire series a couple of dozen times.

I was afraid that I wouldn’t like the cast or the screenplay. Instead, I am completely bowled over by both. No, a few of the characters (i.e., Dougal and Rev. Wakefield to mention two) don’t match up to my visual, but the series is so well cast and superbly written that I don’t notice the discrepancies between my visualazation and the cast. Dougal may not be what I expected, but watching him, it is easy to see why his reputation as a “ladies man’ persists. Thank you for a wonderful 6 weeks and counting!

Dear Deborah–

Um…you might want to read those descriptions again. Colum and Dougal are described as being slightly older than Jamie’s father–i.e., in their late 40′s (and Colum, in poor health, is described as having gray-streaked hair and a deeply lined face, so looks older). Dougal’s hair is described as russet, not black. Granted, Graham McTavish is bald , but both he and Gary Lewis do a _fantastic_ job of embodying their characters; I couldn’t be more pleased.

Best,

–Diana

I, too am quite puzzled by the casting of Colum and Dougal. Aren’t casting directors required to read the book? They were much younger men who were described as being handsome and having black hair. Not that the gentlemen cast in those roles aren’t excellent actors, they just don’t fit the descriptions and the visual images we probably all have of them.

I am an avid reader of all genres, but this series has been my absolute favorite by far. This series was recommended by a friend a few years ago, and I have said thank you over and over again. I have recommended the series to so many others as well.

Claire & Jamie Fraser (and the rest of the characters) have become a part of my life. I have lost sleep over them, worried about them, cried & laughed with them, etc. Many others I have spoken to agree that they become part of your world.

I have watched the first episode of Outlander on Starz twice already (once with subtitles) and am eagerly awaiting the rest of the series. If the rest of the series is as awesome as the first episode, I won’t be disappointed.

I think the casting of Jamie & Claire was right on the money. I was glad that they weren’t “famous superstars”. I actually was not familiar with either Sam or Caitriona, but they will forever be Jamie & Claire for me.

Thank you a truly wonderful series, you have brought joy to so many!

I just finished watching the first episode of Outlander on Starz for the second time. I am so happy it was made available on the computer for free. I do not have Starz on my TV, but I will contact my cable company and add Starz just so I can watch Outlander. I hate my cable company every time I pay my bill, but I will increase my bill for Outlander.

I really enjoyed the first episode. I like the casting, the scenery, and the writing. The actors certainly are not what I have pictured in my mind for these many years I have been reading and rereading these books, but I like what I have seen. I like that they are using actors I have never seen. I do wish Jamie could have been a little taller. The location is beautiful. The buildings, the cars, and the land are wonderful. I am glad they did not try to make this wonderful series into a movie. It just would not be possible to do justice to Diana’s work with a movie. I hope this will become a long, long running TV series that follows Diana’s work closely. I think the writing in the first episode is great.

I think the acting was great. Everyone seemed real to me. Claire is the only one I got a good feel for and I really like what the writers are doing with her.

The book series is my all time favorite and I am looking forward to the TV series becoming my all time favorite. I think Starz made a very smart move to produce this show.

Oh, I forgot: there are aspects of the Outlander series I don’t really adore: like the titles (sorry about that). To me, they almost never fit the intelligent content inside and I never dwell on them for a long time. But they are only the first thing I get to see – it would be quite stupid of me not to give the books a chance
