“As someone who has a film degree and enjoys seeing all the behind the scenes stuff, I find that particular part of this podcast enlightening. I like knowing why writers and producers make the decisions they make. Adapting a novel series as vast and detailed as Outlander can’t be easy and knowing why they choose certain parts of the novel and leave out others is very interesting.
However, be prepared to get angry over the reasoning. These writers and producers LOVE secondary characters like Laoghaire and Frank and LOVE to insert them in anywhere. Having watched the show, I already know this, but hearing the reason behind the crazy amount of screen time for those 2 characters is INFURIATING.
So, if you’d like a little insight into why things are the way they are in the show vs the book, then give it a listen. Seasons 1 and 2 are a little different because those seasons are hosted predominantly by Ron Moore. Seasons 3 and 4 are predominantly hosted by executive producers Matt Roberts and Toni Graphia. Seasons 3 and 4 are way more infuriating. Just FYI.”
