Plot
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a World War II nurse, is mysteriously transported back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a formidable Highland warrior and is drawn into an epic rebellion. Moore (the show’s creator), his team decided to retain the Gaelic words rather than translate them into English.
This kept the narrative in first-person, reflecting Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic
The idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he had seen something similar in the alternative foreign film Skin Deep (1998), starring actor and singer Gustavo Goulart. In several episodes, the characters say «OK.» ; An American term that only began to be used in the 19th century. The opening theme song changes from season to season to reflect the events of the story.
Season 3 adds tribal drums, as most of the season takes place in the West Indies
In the first half of season 2 (which takes place in France), some of the words are in French. In the second half of season 2 (which is mostly about preparing for war), a militaristic drum roll is added to the opening theme song. Season 4 adds bluegrass fiddles and banjos, and some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent, as the season takes place mostly in America.
In the movie Outlander: An Epic Adaptation (2015)
The Skye Boat Song (uncredited) Traditional Scottish air with lyrics by Sir Harold Boulton New lyrics by Robert Louis Stevenson. I’ve never read the Outlander books, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. At first I thought it was a show for women only, but I was so wrong.
I’ve binged the entire series and loved it!
This show has something for everyone, and I’m so glad I finally gave it a try, as it’s become one of my favorite shows! The only negative thing I have to say about it is that season 6 wasn’t that good, and that’s coming from the fans. I had to force myself to watch it and even found myself fast-forwarding some of the episodes.
