Outlander - Facts Quotes and Did you Knows?

If someone could clone Jamie. I want one

Outlander is my guilty pleasure. I marvel at the expertise the author shows about history, medicine and all kinds of arcane things. I watched the TV show because I like time travel and then I had to read the books. I'm almost done with the fourth one now. And I love that theme song.

One of my all-time favs. Could they have possibly chosen a more perfect Jamie for the series? What a dream boat! Fun read, as always Nell.

I absolutely LOVE this series. Everything about it, the characters, the clothes, the story, the stunning Scottish scenery....there aren't many series that I would recommend as "not to be missed" but this is number one on the list. It's not appropriate for children, so make sure they're in bed.

outlander seems very interesting series to watch.You have beautifully described this series.

This is the first I have heard of this series, it looks really good. I shall be keeping an eye out for when it comes to the UK. Thanks for a great lens.

THis is the first I've heard of this series. I do like the era and the clothing pictured on set. You made this an interesting and enjoyable read, as always.

I am always on the lookout for good series, which are too few and far between. It's probably just as well since I don't have a lot of time for TV viewing these days. The ones I do watch are almost all British or American-British productions. So why am I not surprised with Outlander -- and where have I been?? Thank you, Nell, for the heads up. I will definitely give this program a look-see. :-)

Sometimes I wish I had a TV, but I really don't have time for it. Didn't this start out as a movie? It definitely rings a bell.

I have not been under a rock but only have Netflix. So I will check and see if it is on there as it sounds like something I would enjoy.

Thanks for getting me interested...hoping all is well with you.

Many Angels are on the way to you this evening ps

I have not seen The Outlander series. The plot is different and interesting. Going back in time, being captured, sounds interesting. I love the way you have provided facts throughout. Enjoyed reading. Great hub.

I am not familiar with this either but I like the idea of a guy's dress being shorter than mine, Yeah, lol.

It would make a fun dress up if I didn't have to buy all that material and make it!

Fun read!

Nell, I thought I was familiar with this show but I must be confusing it with something else. The Outlander I know ran several years ago and it was about a man who was from the early years you speak of, but was living in modern day America. He wore a black leather trench coat and had magical powers. What they were escapes me at the moment.

Anyway, the clothing you highlight here are attractive. However, they appear to be quite heavy and binding, especially the corset.

an entertaining hub

Nell I think you can stream it now on Amazon.. however best show ever has to be Sleepy Hollow.. Oh Yeah!!!!

Cool ideas. I think period costumes are awesome.

Hi Nell.

I haven´t seen the series, but did read the book many years ago and I loved it. As soon as you described it I remembered that I was waiting for my friend to get book 2 but she never did.

Another of your very enjoyable hubs Nell, and I did laugh at your sporran joke.

Don't know how I've missed this series but you have now created a new fan, Nell, with this extraordinary and compelling introduction. And that Jamie - what a dreamboat!

Never heard of the show but it seems all the rage and I love the costumes!

Haven't heard of the show but you got me interested. The video of Jamie and the kilt is a lesson in itself. I know I would share your love for the fashion. Thanks for a good introduction to Outlander.

Love this hub Nell! Are 't the costumes to die for? I could fit right into the 18Th century with those clothes. I would miss indoor plumbing but men in kilts would take my mind off that! Lol! I love the books and the show. Moore is doing a great job adapting the books to the screen.

lol. Nell, I'm married to my own Scotsman, complete with kilt and sporran etc. He's always been a rugged outdoorsman who favoured the traditional 'blanket' kilt instead of the fancy pleated ones. (Weird for me to watch Outlander. When Jamie ages a bit, he'll look just like my husband.)

Funny to think how much time I wasted trying to explain Scotland, kilts etc to friends overseas when I lived there. It would have been much easier to say, 'Watch Outlander!'

I've been to feasts in big halls in old castles/estates that could have easily been an Outlander set. Loved the first video series (yes, we bought the DVD) and will buy the second.

Worth mentioning though to anyone with children, as much fun as it is to watch Outlander with your children, there's a few sex scenes you'll probably want to avoid with the kids. lol.

A beautiful hub! Your great idea of costumes is unique and so well-researched.

Well Nell, my wife fell in love with the audio book...and I happened to just be around while she was listening (I have to admit it sucked me in). We haven't had the tv series here yet and maybe I will have to purchase the DVDs and I will score big points in her good books if it lives up to the books. By what you say here it obviously does. Nice costumes to for a fancy dress up.

Oh, I love these costumes. Perfect for a dress party. But, you can incorporate some of these ideas into your every day wear. I really want to read the books, because I have heard that they are really great.

Great job Nell. With Halloween right around the corner this is a perfect idea for costumes. So, party or no, you can dress like the Outlander.

Loved your descriptions too. My daughter's hooked but I don't get the channel it's on. Will have to rent it at some point.
