Outlander famous last words12/2/2023 ![]() ![]() As I was getting ready to leave Mom told me not to cry my whole way home (which I did anyway). The line from Jocosta to Jamie rings so close to my heart because when my Dad was dying, I went up to Oregon to see him one last time. Some seasons or episodes or scenes better than others, but as a whole, they can be very proud of their work. And I have to say, they have done a very good job of it all along. If one is going to take Diana Gabaldon’s written masterpieces to make a series out of it, it better damn well be done right. We are dedicated to the characters and their story and we very much care how well the screen story is written to reflect what we have invested so much of our lives with. So yes, we are not just sitting here being entertained. And they have to realize that this audience is comprised of mostly women of all ages and stations in life, people who are very well accomplished in their own right. Of course, anyone who has read all of the books has put in many, many hours and months doing so, so we are basically experts in Outlander. You mentioned that the writers and Starz don’t realize how intelligent this audience is and how much we pay attention to details. Sort of like getting used to getting into cold water little by little until you can stand to dunk yourself all the way in. To me it was such an artistic way to portray it and done in sequences so as to get us used to the idea, rather than to just shock the audience with an abrupt hanging. So I was interested to know how they would depict that scene. It was done differently in the book because he was sitting a horse and the horse took off and he slipped off the back of it and was hanged. This was one scene from the book I looked forward to seeing how they would handle Roger’s hanging. Yes, a pipe stem would be just the ticket and something they would have had in their day. I wonder what methods they use to capture that short of torture, or do they wait for a moment when it is a real cry and dub it in? Thank you Karmen for explaining what Claire used as a tube for the tracheotomy. ![]() ![]() How do they get a baby to cry like he did after Roger yelled at him when he almost touched the hot kettle. ![]() One thing I noticed is what a good crier little Jemmy is. Oh I just love you gals! What wonderful gab sessions you have together in the name of Outlander.

I’m adding Karmen’s fun fact for this episode – about Claire’s emergency cricothyroidotomy! (say that 5 times fast!).įor our Season 5 Episode discussions, catch up here: Episode Discussions. A big time commitment, but I highly recommend it. Its ripple effects are alive and well today. It is an incredible look into the state of filmmaking, the influence of the arts, the creator’s (son of a Confederate officer) POV, and the massive impact it’s had on American culture. I watched it in its entirety (over 3 days), and read about its creator and the history of the film. The silent film Cathy references is Birth of A Nation.
