Outlander: Blood of My Blood (season 1)

This show premieres today and my wife and have been a fan of Outlander since the first season. This is a prequel to the main show and far as we can tell, both of Claire’s parents are time traveling back to the early 1700’s(?).

Anyone else excited or at least interested to watch?

@ivylass You still with us and watching?

I’m excited about but won’t see it because I refuse to pay Starz $10 a month for one series which they will drag out forever. Same for the putative last season of Outlander itself, which we’ve been waiting for for seemingly years. Filming of season 8ended a year ago in September of 2024. They are teasing us that it might be released in early 2026~I’m not holding my breath.

I thought when this season of Blood of my Blood ended, they’d give us the final season of Outlander.

November or so? I’m not in the loop much, though.

Oh, good grief! I didn’t think anyone remembered me! Yep, I’m ready to go!

5

Oh, yes, I do! From these Outlander discussions!

I got it for my wife. However, I browsed thru Starz lineup and there isnt anything much that would interest me.

My reaction exactly. I looked the other day when I consider re-upping Starz but there isn’t anything I would watch besides Blood of My Blood. I’ll wait for Starz to have an end-of-the-year deal.

I’ve seen the two episodes they dropped the other day.

My wife and I liked it a lot. There is a ton of potential and we are happy to see that Outlander will outlive its current original show.

The actor cast as Brian Fraser(Jamie’s father) is definitely a man who could have been his father. He has a similar look and they, of course, kind of gave him a similar hairstyle. The lady who plays Jamie’s mother looks a lot like Brianna, which also makes sense.

I hope the show does well and has some original ideas.

Uh, how the heck long were Claire’s parents in the past? She doesn’t even seem to, uh, know about this since…..well, this is being made up for the show. I was surprised BOTH her mother and father time traveled back to the 1720s or so. I guess they really couldn’t have been there more than a few months, though…
