An Outlander Fansite
Outlander made its second appearance at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego, with Ron Moore, Maril Davis, Diana Gabaldon, Caitriona Balfe, and Sam Heughan stopping by to discuss all things Outlander. Check out all of our photos from the event in the gallery below!
Outlander made its second appearance at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego, with Ron Moore, Maril Davis, Diana Gabaldon, Caitriona Balfe, and Sam Heughan stopping by to discuss all things Outlander.
During the Outlander red carpet premiere at this year’s Comic-Con, we were lucky enough to chat with some of the cast and crew, including Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe. In our exclusive interview, Sam and Cait tell us what fans would most be surprised to learn about each other, which you can check out in the clip below. Love these two!
Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we now have a sneak peek at Ron Moore’s cameo in this week’s episode of Outlander. Ron appears alongside Diana Gabaldon in episode four, entitled “The Gathering,” for a brief moment, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled this Saturday to catch him in action.
Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we now have our first look at Diana Gabaldon’s cameo in Outlander! Diana’s self-described “scenelet” will air in this week’s episode, “The Gathering,” as Herself appears as Iona McTavish.
“Matt Roberts, the scriptwriter for this particular episode (and a lovely man he is, too, Guy Fawkes beard notwithstanding), would write a tiny scenelet for me,” Gabaldon explained. “Just a couple of lines of dialogue. They could then film that pretty quickly on its own, and I’d then be released… The lady in question is at the Gathering, and the scenelet in question takes place in one of the galleries over the Great Hall.”
You can also read more from Diana’s experience on set over on her website.
Now that I’ve come out of my Comic-Con haze, I’ve created a new gallery of all of my photos from Friday’s event. In the gallery below you’ll find all of my pics from the red carpet (or should we say tartan carpet) premiere, followed by the cast Q&A session with Sam, Cait, Lotte, Graham, Tobias, Diana, and Ron. The cast rolled up to the tartan carpet in classic 1940s cars, and followed bagpipers and lads in kilts onto the press line. After we had our chance to chat with the cast and crew, we all went inside the theatre and were treated to a performance by composer Bear McCreary, who played some classic Scottish tunes and debuted the theme he wrote for Claire and Jamie. Seeing the first episode on the big screen was truly a remarkable experience, and I I think it’s safe to say that I wasn’t the only one in the audience with goosebumps and a lump in their throat. The first episode was everything I could hope for (the second, which I screened before the premiere, is just as good, but that’s all I’ll say for now). I don’t think you will be disappointed with the show. Starz and the cast and crew have done an amazing job, and it’s everything I could hope for and more. Hope you enjoy the pics from this very epic night!
Friday was a big day at San Diego Comic-Con, especially if you are an Outlander fan. The first Outlander event of the day was a panel discussion in room 6A, and I was lucky enough to nab a front row seat at the event. If you’d like to view the entire panel, Starz has made it available for all to see, which you can check out in the video below. I’ve also added a gallery of photos I took at the event, featuring Sam Heughan, Caitriona Balfe, Tobias Menzies, Lotte Verbeek, Graham McTavish, Ronald Moore, and Diana Gabaldon.
It’s been a busy day for Outlander news, with the official announcement that Diana Gabaldon and the cast of the TV series will be appearing at a panel at San Diego Comic-Con on July 25th. The panel will take place at 2:15 in room 6A and will feature the following cast/crew members:
Ronald D. Moore
Diana Gabaldon
Caitriona Balfe
Sam Heughan
Tobias Menzies
Graham McTavish
Lotte Verbeek
There will also be an autograph session on the same day at the Starz booth inside of the exhibit hall.
For more information on the autograph session, be sure to visit booth 4029 to see how you can participate. From past SDCC experience, it’s usually a choice of which one you want to see more, the panel or the autograph session. For shows and movies with big fandoms, people usually are camped out overnight in order to attend a highly anticipated panel, and autograph session tickets are usually part of a drawing that takes place while you may be in line for that panel. This may not be the case with Outlander, but it very well could be, so you may have to choose which one you’d rather do. This has been my experience in other years, but it very well could be different, so if you are attending, we sure to get more info at the Starz booth.
Last night, the Pasadena Hilton and Vroman’s Bookstore played host to an author Q&A and book signing with Diana Gabaldon, who was on tour to promote Written In My Own Heart’s Blood. Diana got up on stage and spoke to fans for over an hour, then headed over to sign all of our books. And by that, I mean graciously signing and taking photos with all 650 of us fans in attendance. I’ve included a list of some interesting tidbits from the event, along with some photos of Herself. A big thank you to Diana for a wonderful speech last night, and for taking the time to have a moment with us all!
Some highlights from the signing:

Hang on to your kilts! Thanks to the awesome people over at Starz, I was able take part in the Outlander fan event at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles this weekend. Diana Gabaldon’s epic book series has been going strong for more than two decades now, and the action and romance is about to come to life on the small screen. Producer Ron Moore (of Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica fame) is bringing the story to life as a new Starz television series, to air this summer on the network. Fans from all over the country came to take part in a panel Q&A with author Gabaldon, producer Moore, and lead cast members Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, who all took the chaos of the fandom completely in stride. The event kicked off with some amazing conceptual artwork for the sets of Outlander, all of which looked amazing. But the absolute best part of the afternoon was seeing the trailer for the very first time. You guys! Let’s talk about that trailer. Claire, ’40s fashion, WWII, standing stones, Jamie on a horse-need I say more? The footage looks incredible, and it leaves me DYING for the premiere (set for this summer)! Take a look at all the goodness below:
*Sigh* Okay, now that I’ve seen that trailer a couple of dozen times, let me say that if you haven’t read Diana’s series, you really must. Like, go now and get a copy. If you’re a long-time fan, your painful wait is almost over. After listening to the actors and their responses to all of the fan questions and comments, I am totally sold on their dedication to the roles. If you missed the live stream of the event, you can watch the entire event below (skip over to an hour and 16 minutes in to get started), and check out some of my pics from the fan gathering.
A huge thank you to Starz for a well-organized (seriously one of the best-run fandom experiences ever) event and lovely tea service. You rock! Be sure to check out their site for more content related to the production.
