Who is your favorite Outlander cast member?

[@mrmwallace730]

Tobias Menzies is an incredible actor and did not get promoted enough. Yeah, yeah, Jamie & Claire are Awesome(!) but the publicity push should have presented all 3 together. Without Black Jack Randall/Frank, both the past & the present would not have had a firm foundation. Bravo, Tobías, for an excellent dual performance. You are my eye candy.

The casting is terrific. Everyone and everything is perfect. No one else could play any of the main characters/couple characters. Sam Heughan is more than perfect. He is stunningly handsome and an extremely talented, genuine, compassionate, kind, funny man. Without a doubt, the show would not be as famous, iconic, or binge worthy without Sam!

[@sallyplus4]

Not a crush. Much respect for the quality of his performance. No matter what character he plays. He's and outstanding actor. Sam also took everyone that wanted a better quality of health on a ride along. Medically and physical self improvement. What a creative way to say thank you.

[@lunatonkens7933]

Don't get me wrong, I love Sophie, but I really don't think she fits the role of Brianna. I think it's mostly because of her accent. She is Brittish but Brianna is American. She constantly has to focus on getting the American accent right with every line she says, and it kind of gets in the way of her acting I feel like. And she still doesn't get the accent quite right, which kind of makes it less authentic. Such a shame because I think she is a great actress but the accent is just in the way of it being a believable performance.

[@kentwalker1969]

I hate Tobias Menzies with a passion, it started when he played Brutus in "Rome", hated him still as he played Frank and Black Jack, but in fairness, the hate is the character and how well he plays the role which is a testiment to his acting ability, I would like to see him in a role that I like the character.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." -John 3:16(bible) "the wages of sin is death"-Bible. Therefore God the judge has given man the death sentence due to man's sin, but because of God's mercy, he gave himself(god incarnate/jesus)to die on a cross for the sins of the world. That means he paid our fine and if we trust in him God can legally let us go guilt free in court/judgment day and have everlasting life with Him!

How to Play the Game of Life Why do children wake up with their eyes wide open and jump out of bed while we open them just wide enough to see the phone so we can set it to snooze? Why are young people energetic and ready to “conquer the world” while older people are cautious and hesitant? Can we stay young-spirited forever? After all, if life is not a game, there is no excitement in it. And if there is no excitement in life, what is the point of living? If we want to keep enjoying, we need to make life a lifelong game. This game is very different from anything we know. It is not about what we can receive, but about what we can discover! By connecting to other people, we discover new worlds, other people’s worlds! How do we achieve this? Quite simply, we need to focus on others rather than on ourselves. This may sound simple, but if you try it, you will realize how self-absorbed you are. We are all like that. Even those who feel that they are generous and giving are absorbed in their giving and do not see how much they do it for their own interest, and how they are focused on their own benefit when they give. Giving is fine, but the focus is the point here. Had the focus been on the receiver, the giver would have discovered countless revelations that are hidden from a self-centered eye. For the game to succeed, you need partners. It is impossible to play the game of giving without people to whom you can give and from whom you can receive. Therefore, there must be a group of people, up to ten or so, who play the game together. In order to succeed in discovering the other players’ worlds, we need to think good thoughts about them. Otherwise, we will have no incentive to approach them, no desire to discover their world. We can think good thoughts about each other if we do good things for one another. These can be the simplest things, but they must make us feel good about each other. Positive thoughts about each other bring us closer, and closeness opens our minds and hearts to others, so we can see the world through their eyes. As with any game, the more we practice, the better we get, and the harder, yet more rewarding the game becomes. But unlike any other game, as we improve in it, we will find that our entire perspective on life changes and expands, and we become wiser and more competent. The game of life, unlike any other game, reveals to us the secrets of life, the secrets of reality, because when you can look at something from all angles, nothing remains hidden from you.

Kate is also thin and it makes her character more natural whereas the Grey's Anatomy star would have to have lost a lot of weight to be in this movie.

What got me hooked on the movie wasn't the steamy hot sex scenes! I'm a World War II and Revolutionary War Fanatic, so the story beginning off with World War 2 got me. After the war, it was okay,,but then once Claire went through the stone, the action scenes hooked me. The humor grabbed me because she was talking out about the way Murtah stunk on the horseback ride to the cabin. When Claire was setting Jamie's dislocated arm, the humor was starting to get really riled up. " fetch me she says", said Angus. 😂😂😂 Later after Jamie got shot and Claire was assisting and sending to his wound,, Claire was cursing like a sailor and the men were just shocked! Never heard a woman talk like that before and it reminded me very much of my English mother.. My family has been in America for 300 years and I'm mostly Scottish and English and I do have a French great-grandmother on my dad's side. Lmao!! The humor in this movie reminded me so much of my family at time and I just couldn't quit laughing. The sad scenes were heartwarming and heartbreaking, yet the other parts kept me hooked on it because it was like watching my own family in action at times. My mother and her family were cursing like Sailors and raising all kinds of hell and then she could be ladylike as well. God and his family were so Scottish and even my great paternal grandparents on my grandfather's side are Duncan and they were Gaelic. Some of the words my grandparents and great-grandparents would use made me confused because I had no idea what they were talking about when I was a small child because my parents didn't speak that way. on top of being Scottish ancestry and my grandparents and great-grandparents were all that country people so I was clueless being born in the city. Now that I'm 50 years old and I grew to understand my elders Language by the time I was in my teens, I could understand much of what the Scottish individuals were saying,,and of course I speak French. watching this whole series was like watching a repeat of my sometimes dysfunctional family cussing and fighting. Baaaahaaaa!!!

[@carolnauman5678]

Right. Liam is too old for this role. And Heigel as Clair? A blonde would just be wrong for that role!

[@marypasco2213]

Would I LOVE❤️ to speak with you!!!

[@deliastefanescu1908]

Outlander is a great picture ! A picture of life ! And that's why I love Scotland and Scots even more ! And Sam Heughan, of course !

[@anooshhambarsumian5228]

Sam is the best casting. He performs Jamie to perfection. Cait is very good, too, but then I don't have a crush on her. She is a very good actress and the chemistry with Sam is off the page.

[@joycesmith2612]

Brianna was poorly cast. In the books she is a tall, sturdy girl, big boned and built like her father. The actor chosen for the series only resembles Jaime in that she has red hair.

[@samheughan7717]

Thank you for your love and support

[@jennhoff03]

Your audience is not 6 years old. The over-the-top, Disney-channel-esque narration is unnecessary. I do love Outlander, though. I'd never seen those pictures of Sam! I totally understand Diana's response! ;'D

[@soledias4235]

Sophie Skelton is the only actress that makes it difficult for me to love her, I can't connect with her, I didn't read the books, so I don't know if she interprets Bree as she should, but in the series at least, it doesn't reach me, I don't know why.

[@joannebrq32]

I completely agree. She frustrates me with her role. She doesn’t remind me of Scotland or Boston at all! She seems immature.

[@kathleensiegrist1457]

I absolutely love this show!! I have all 5 seasons in DVD- I subscribed to STARZ just for season 5 when it came out Currently rewatching the series I read the 1st four books when they first came out years and years ago

[@marymiller8481]

I have watched all 5 seasons on Amazon Prime

[@visualeyours9788]

The casting was superior with Jamie and Claire, Frank/BJR, Dougal, Colum, Murtagh, Rupert, Angus, Roger, Lord John Grey, but I question Brianna. I don't know who else was in the running, but I didn't (and don't - my second rewatch) like their chemistry. It's an AMAZING series...haven't read the books.......yet.

[@joannebrq32]

Same here. Second time through and tried to view her objectively and I still am struggling with her playing this role. I wish it was someone else more believable.

[@virginiarowley7747]

Casting is perfect. I love all the actors, and i read all 8 novels before ever seeing the show. The show is amazing!

[@nancy9891]

I like their relationship and their chemistry from the very beginning that had nothing to do with sex. When she set his shoulder, when he said, “You don’t look that heavy…” Totally perfect

[@Maleus666]

This serie is so perfect. Can't wait to watch the sixth season.

[@Anula.....81]

The series is interesting. all 5 seasons, Tempts to watch more than once. Actors playing their characters. Let's keep it interesting.

[@2anapat]

Aneta Dymowska, I’ve watched the five seasons, three times already during quarantine. 🙃

[@monicac8376]

@@2anapat I can totally relate to that! I had to stop myself from watching it a third time on a row... hahaha. I'm going to try to wait at least a month before starting over

[@marcelaochoa2855]

Hola, podrían colocar las entrevistas en español ya que sería más fácil y así poder suscribirse

[@annerodgers9149]

It is amazing how Sam Heughan simply disappears into Jamie Fraser. How does he do that? Just changing the hair color doesn’t do it. 👍

[@Womanwithblackdog]

All the men of Outlander are delectable for an assortment of reasons. Graham should have been included here. He is another drool provoking hunk! Oh, and David! Lordy!

[@vickicervantes1817]

NO I THINK THAT THEY NEEDED TO KEEP MURTAGH TO THE EVER END AND NOT, I REPEAT NOT KILL MURTAGH OFF THE SHOW! I COULDN'T WATCH THE NEXT EPISODE TILL 4 DAYS LATER BECAUSE I WAS STILL UPSET ABOUT MURTAGH DYING/KICKED OFF THE SHOW😭💔😭💔😭 THEY RETIRED HIM WAY TO SOON.

[@juliecalluna6731]

YES! Soooo disappointed they offed him. I LOVED this character

[@belle2154]

Liam really, 🥴

[@LadyCeceElli]

I ABSOLUTELY have a crush on Sam. The cast is amazing! Tobias was wonderful in both characters. 🥰

[@samheughan7717]

Oh Really Thank you for your amazing love and support

[@cubefarmerhkc9105]

Sam and Caitriona - enough said.

[@patsteeg244]

Can anyone tell me how they didn't realize Brianna's eyes must have been blue?

[@judithrose6197]

Outlander is the best show ever. No one could ever take the place of any of these people that play the main characters in the show. It was like this show was written with these people in mind to play the part. I hope Diana keeps writing these books forever and I hope Stars has enough sense to keep it on the air forever!

[@MrsRanchoFiesta]

We do not love Heigl

[@actarusfleed6607]

Ms. Heigel would have ruined the series.

[@pamelatoves]

I love Jamie, I think he is the most handsome man I’ve ever seen, love his red hair, he’s an incredible actor,
