Outlander Season 8 is Now Filming!

[sdreamersc82]

This pic!!! I can't believe there are people who, after seeing this pic, still think they are not/have never been together. I mean, are you blind or what?! I am like a newbie newbie in this fandom, but after seeing this picture for the first time which was last year, I knew right away that there was something special between these two, and I believe there still is despite all the bullshit!

[lemonandhugs]

So I have a question.

When are we going to be given more NEW (but also OLD) BTS footage of Sam and Cait? Or is that only reserved for when it’s about to air again, to create hype?😒

I’m a patient person, but y’all are testing me.

Seems like Forget Me Not gin is making a come back. This new company was just created a couple days ago. Interesting to see the other director of the company. Tony is one. And this Duncan guy. Business partner?

My Favorite Seasons of Outlander, In Order

This was EXTREMELY difficult, but I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

1. Season 2 - Full of adventure, danger, and suspense. Best sets, best costumes. That. Red. Dress. BEST SUPPORTING CHARACTERS! The plot twist about Mary’s baby-daddy. The Duke’s Beheading. That one transition scene when Claire steps off the plane/boat (you know the one). Jamie and Claire are powerful. I’ve been to Versailles myself, so probably a little biased. 10/10 Season.

2. Season 1 - The O.G. Season. The time-traveling and it’s costumes and sets are amazing. I’m a sucker for acquaintances to lovers trope. The Wedding. Full English Breakfast. THE RECKONING. Jamie and Claire becoming the power couple we all love. So much plot, so many episodes, yet not many fillers. Perfect blend of developing romance, history, and jaw dropping moments at every turn. Last two episodes hurt too much though. 9/10 Season.

3. Season 6 - The plots in this season are (chef’s kiss). Following the book to the letter! So much suspense, action, adventure. Jamie’s devotion to Claire is powerful yet soft. Lots of Domestic Frasers screen-time. FERGUS AND MARSALI. Love to hate the Christies- ready for Season 7 to reveal them. Season finale is the best one so far!! Ether got a little annoying, and season too short for obvious reasons, though. So 8/10 Season.

4. Season 5 - Sam’s new wig takes the cake. I’m finally starting to like Brianna and Roger. The big house is fantastic. IAN MY BOY. Jamie praying to Dougal. The Beardsley house felt like a horror movie. The Ballot of Roger Mac sent be back to Season 1- my new favorite episode in the entire series. Bonnet made me mad- strung that out too long. A few too many filler episodes for my taste. MURTAGH NOOO!!!!!!!!! Still amazing though, 7/10 Season.

5. Season 3 - Disliked the season’s first half, sucked to see Jamie and Claire apart. Culloden was well done though. Could happily skip episodes 2-5. A MALCOM SAVES THE DAY. “Leg-Hair”, Geneva, and Geillis- WHY SO MANY EVIL WOMEN THO? The entire trip to the West Indies, bravo. Loved these adventures. Turtle Soup and Squeaking Noises were gifts. The drowning boat rescue and the musical score attached was dramatic perfection. 4/10 first half, 8/10 second half = 6/10 total Season.

6. Season 4 - Do I really need to explain? Lots of filer episodes, ugh. Lack of Jamie and Claire intimacy, ughhh. Sam’s wig, UGH. ALL THE SHIT WITH ROGER AND BRIANNA’S IMMATURITY UGHHHHH. I miss Scotland. Lord John gives this season bonus points, and so does that warm bath scene, but otherwise, 3/10 Season. I don’t watch any of this at all, really.

Welp.

I love them all desperately.

I remembered to timelapse this time if anyone's interested in my process ;D

"I'm so excited, for both of us. It's a big break... She's fantastic to work with, she's great fun. We have a great relationship and I think that's going to come across."

Joy

The recent Sam and Caitriona PR piece was too little too late according to some. The very content was fun and satisfying but most concluded it did what it said on the tin. Relieved us from the endless drought.

But, and it's a big but, I can’t see how they thought it would quell the believers' views or totally satisfy the best fans. All it did was add to the huge pile of questions. More speculation. More “what the hell”.

Whatever you call it, it certainly made me smile. It made me watch it two or three times. It made me ask more questions. There they were, these good friends, looking anything but just good friends.Not brother and sister. Not just colleagues providing fan service. They just confirmed to me, again, that what we have here is a couple very much in love. Am I delusional? Or have I been fooled again? Is it really just clever PR?

So much has already been written about the comparison when Catriona’s with any other man - not just McCoatholder - and the way she behaves with Sam.

And, it is very different. It’s genuine joy and her feelings, like his, are real. Aren't they?

If I’m wrong and they are just acting, I’ll never trust my instincts again. Never.

[thefrsers]

this being the first thing he posted🥹😭

[girlwithamissingpearl]

I understand things have been dry in Outlander land but even desert dry has me smh. Ladies, if you have to try that hard to shit all over SH, I’m not saying it makes you a hater but it sure as shit doesn’t make you a liker.

Back after a bit- admit it, we all need to occasionally take a break- I feel I needed to pace myself during the drought. But after a bit of scrolling, I felt compelled to dive right in. Isn’t this fandom about fun, entertainment and guilty pleasure? That’s why I’m here. So why the endless posts from the SH haters? Do people dislike SH, enjoy the snark or just think the man is stupid?

So just for fun (or insomnia) I thought I would play a short game of SH: Stupid, Smart or just SMH?

1. SH and Cons/Private events for $

Why do people have such a problem with SH trying to make a living? Most if not all actors part of a series or movie franchise participate. In my opinion SH is doing it now, so he won’t need to in his 60’s to pay the rent. While most fans are priced out of the more exclusive events, all I can say is the paying fans are the only ones that never complain. Supply and demand. If any charitable component is part of the deal, great. So can we finally put a line under this?

Verdict: Smart as hell

2. SH always “Shilling” SS to his Fans and on SM

Uhm, he is the brand. It’s his company. Can it be a bit much? Yes. Promotion to the fan base and the use of sm is marketing 101. In order for people to try the product they need to know about the product. We can disagree as to his methods or success to date, but fans are not the only ones buying bottles. As for the constant and consistent presence of AN with SH during events? Suddenly they are a couple? WTF. AN is a business partner. He owns part of the business. They both work hard promoting SS, and so far it looks like they will continue to release more SS. Ladies, don’t put your lawn chairs away yet!😉

Verdict: Smart

3. SH and boundaries with his fans

Regardless of the letter you attach to SH, he is a recognized actor around the world. Definitely a people pleaser, in imho, he will happily take a selfie with anyone. Obviously, he never wants to disappoint any fan, but his lack of boundaries and security at events can be cringe worthy at times. If a female actor was touched, mauled, or asked to sign fans boobs or t-shirts it would be a #me too moment. Someone, anyone in security or a handler needs to be bad cop if he won’t. How far is too far?

Verdict: Stupid with a side of SMH

4. SH as a Philanthropist and Charitable Causes

This one really bugs me. MPC has raised over $6m for charity. SH’s name attached to any cause raises awareness and $. The BS from the haters who discount this based on the fact SH apparently never donates his own money is petty nonsense. Gentleman’s ride is one example. Agree it was his female fans that made it happen. And? This is my only fandom but SH is held to an impossible standard. Apparently he is a hypocrite in his support for clean oceans because someone on his team had a catered lunch using single use plastics. Great topic for discussion, but the man didn’t throw the containers in the ocean. Also let’s not judge a person’s commitment based on sm posts. SH can literally, yes ladies literally never win. Thankfully the causes he supports do. I dare you to disagree.

Verdict: Smart

5A. SH’s dating life

According to an extremely ardent part of this fandom, SH has dated😉 every fit blonde 👱‍♀️ within a 250 mile radius of everywhere. I wish that someone would keep track of all the mysterious initials and lack of any literal proof of these women. This is where I separate the snark from the hater’s. While I’m in owe of the investigative skills of some, and enjoy the gossip-even though mom thought gossip was a sin, sorry mom- not all women aka initials welcome the attention. Any woman save CB that SH is remotely warranted or not attached to, has an avalanche of hate comments and 💩emoji in their future, welcome or not. Personally, I believe SH, goes out of his way to protect the people he cares about, and perhaps even those he may not. I think we can agree he is not a monk. However an actor is entitled to privacy. Ginger Jesus included.

5B. SH ‘s Sexuality

From the beginning, 3 years for me, I’ve read posts about someone who knew a friend of a friend of a bartender’s friend who knew for a fact SH had a boyfriend. WTF. You know the drought is real when this bullshit gets recycled. We all know the question has been asked and answered by SH. More than once. Next.

Verdict: SH keeping his private life private: Smart as hell.

6. SH and the use of all things Outlander related

If you don’t get it, I don’t have the time and am too lazy to explain it to you.

Verdict: Smart. Smart as hell

7. SH and CB

The only real problem here is obvious. And I don’t know why the fans or even the haters- btw, I use the term haters like I do profanity- perhaps not the best word, but like GFY, FU, MF, C, etc. I’m lazy and it saves time and no confusion to whom I address. So where the actual f&ck is the audition tape we all want to see? You know the part of which I speak. If only the fandom investigators could put aside any petty differences and uncover the SH, CB chemistry kiss tape? I’m not saying it will be a unifying and CTJ moment, but it would give SH fans something to make the drought less….thirsty.

No verdict necessary. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨😚😉

And last but definitely not least…

8. SH and Thirst Traps

Ladies, because of Outlander and all things Outlander related, we’ve had the pleasure to observe SH from every view and lovely angle. Come on, if you 👀 closely it’s all there. Why the actual f&ck people in this fandom have a problem with his shirtless posts is beyond me. Not only is he promoting the results a good fitness regime can produce, he is literally, yes literally giving his fans something they want. And don’t even try me with- you’re treating him like an object. This is a 100% consensual relationship. And if the word “hater” seems harsh about the same gang that complains and shits all over his shirtless thirst traps, then please find me a better name.

Verdict: Smart as hell and thank you

So for those who may not get it, this post is silly and something for my handful of friends or any SH fan to have a laugh. If anyone has the patience to read the entire thing😉 So any comments are welcome, but to the people or person sending awful and cowardly anon messages: save your time. Or GFY. See what I did there?🤓

[chelscait]

"When we started, we were both quite new to the industry. And I think there's something about stepping into something and just being really open and naïve to it, in a way, was perfect." "Yeah, and it's been an amazing journey. With each other and with our fellow cast members and crew, but also with the fans, right? I mean, ten years. It's been an epic journey."

I’m Not Sure I Want to be a “Best Fan Ever” Anymore.

Starz is laughing at “the best fans ever”. The showrunners are laughing at us. Our love of Outlander - for all its ups and downs - has kept us here. More exactly, Sam and Caitriona have kept us here. Although sometimes, when we read about horny grannies, mommies and crazies, I wonder why.

15 months between an already filmed content? Why? Because they can. I think the fall off of fans, the Starz takeover, and the “I can't even remember what happened in 7A” will, unless they are very careful, make sure S8 goes out with a fizzle, not a BOMB!

Whoever decided BOMB was a good idea is taking the piss. Are we to be subject to the pre-sequel before S8? I think the answer to that is pretty apparent.

To ensure viewers for S8 - they are expecting us to take on their crumbs. Making more money off the backs of us, TBFE.

I’ve said it before, I won’t watch BOMB and, at this stage, I feel that I don’t want to give Starz any more of my hard-earned.

After 10 years of following OL, a book reader from my college days, it was a joy when I watched S1 - with trepidation as I imagined the usual TV hatchet job - falling in love with Jamie and Claire and, because of them, ignoring some of the glaring changes and weak scripts because there was enough good stuff to keep us watching.

I never thought I’d say I am now happy it will soon be over - I think we’ve had the piss taken out of us for long enough. Well done Starz, well done showrunners, you’ve done the impossible, and you’ve made me glad it’s nearly The End.

Sad, sorry and hugely disappointed.😒
