Outlander

That's what we get to do as storytellers, show things that aren't palatable, but also try to bring something positive to the tough conversation”

It was lovely actually, almost like picking a puzzle with the writers about how we show it in a true way to her. If you’re going to show a rape and an attack as brutal as the one we did, it was very important for me to invest as much if not more time exploring the recovery. We started these conversations about what the recovery was going to be like last season itself because we knew we wanted to devote time. There’s a lot going on in her life that Claire isn’t aware of. In the beginning, it’s a real bond. It’s difficult for Claire to figure out how to cope with the trauma. CB: Bree has quite an understanding of what Claire has been through because of what happened when she travels back in time in season four. CB: Malva is a curious little creature who comes onto the Ridge. Claire really feels for her. In terms of Claire’s journey, it was really important for me to tell the other side of the traumatic events she faced. Caitriona Balfe: First of all, we were so excited to get back to work. The first episode, “Echoes,” kicks off Claire’s journey of recovery after being kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and rescued in the season-five finale (which aired all the way back in May 2020). The installment also introduces game-changing new characters from Diana Gabaldon’s novels, the inspiration for the show. But the show also excels at placing Claire and Jamie Fraser in some seriously tragic situations.

Outlander,” the hit Starz series adapted from Diana Gabaldon's best-selling, genre-bending novels, returned to television on Sunday, Mar.

Just days after Starz announced the 'Outlander' prequel, Sam Heughan weighed in and admitted to being envious of the new show.

“I knew it was in the wings, I knew that was happening, I didn’t realize it was so far advanced,” Heughan said. As an EP, Heughan knew there was more Outlander in the works. However, he admitted he was surprised the Outlander prequel was so far along. “There’s always been a great dialogue between ourselves and the writers and the execs and every department as well. When host Josh Horowitz asked Heughan about the Outlander prequel, he shared his thoughts. Heughan was a guest on the Happy Sad Confused podcast on March 4.

The story of Outlander begins with Claire (Caitriona Balfe), a World War II nurse on holiday in Scotland with her husband Frank, when she is transported back to ...

The choice to change the theme to a ballad sung by a male leads to the idea that the new season is not told from Claire’s point of view, but rather through the lens of a male character, with Outlander season 6 likely focusing on either Jamie or Roger. Outlander’s "The Skye Boat Song" is sung by someone that has left their homeland behind to journey to a new land and has changed greatly along the way. Claire finds herself trapped in the 18th century where she meets and falls in love with Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). Though Claire decides to remain in the past to live with Jamie, the Battle of Culloden forces her to return to her time to protect her and Jamie’s unborn daughter, Brianna. Claire later returns to the 18th century and is soon followed by Brianna and her boyfriend, Roger, who are time-travelers as well.

Claire (Caitriona Balfe) had survived a kidnapping and assault, and is back with Jamie (Sam Heughan) but more drama was right around the corner. Fraser's Ridge ...

Governor Harry Quarry (Jay Villiers) allows Jamie to become a freemason and transform the prison to a lodge. The episode then flashes forward to 1773, where Claire is sleeping in North Carolina but Jamie can't wake her up at first. He agrees, but eventually changes his mind.

Unfortunately, the governor has heard from his top-rate prisoner Tom Christie that Jamie is well-respected among the lads and requests that Mac Dubh tightens up ...

Christie pipes up that he and his son serve the king. Instead of kicking Christie off the Ridge as I would, Jamie invites him and his family to his home for dinner. I don't care what Claire tells Jamie and Bree, but this is not the definition of someone who is feeling fine. Christie nearly passes out when Claire cleans a cut on his hand and sneers at Jamie when he offers Christie some wine to help ease the pain of a little scratch. Christie proudly stands front and center, demanding that his son swear he did not take the powder horn. It's Richard, and he wants to arrest Allan for stealing that cool powder horn. The simple solution is to make Jamie a freemason like Christie. The neighborhood crime watch team, led by the horrible Richard Brown, brother to the horrendous (and deceased) Lionel Brown, is prowling the woods again. The prisoners are forced to gather around as Jamie takes each crack of the whip with nothing more than a wince. He encourages James to rest in the fact that some men will never understand and know love as they have known. After agreeing, Jamie is ushered out the door, but not before he notices Christie and the governor oddly shake hands. He's also lost the lock of hair his beloved Rebecca gave him before he was sent to prison.
