Outlander - Social Media #1: "Epic dramas are about those more epic themes — life, death, existence, faith. It can't all be “hashtag amazing.”

“Maybe the fascination with historical dramas is somehow connected, because it's a time
before all those aspects of modern life, and you can focus on the more profound questions
of human existence, what it is to be here and to live and the choices you make. And the
more epic dramas are about those more epic themes — life, death, existence, faith. I think
everyone needs a bit of that. It can't all be “hashtag amazing.”

Maybe the title could say something like, erm....

I don't know, something to do with connecting.

CityGal · 10-02-2014, 08:23 AM

I have a few twitter Q&A post that I'll add to the thread....as soon as I get a moment free this AM. Should be soon.

Think Diana said a cute line about the fans on twitter, etc....I may make that the title.

I have them. Just haven't had a moment to post it.

I should get a lot done by tonight, again. Evenings just work better for me.

Thanks XD Your awesome for being so dedicated! CS thread and now this board, you're always so helpful

CityGal · 10-03-2014, 10:21 AM

Here's my first set up of the OP. Cast photo and links forthcoming later today.

But I did find an appropriate title Thanks, Tobias.

That man is a quotable godsend.

sourburst · 10-03-2014, 10:26 AM

Jess I completely missed it. I was already planning to create the two media ones today. Got them both done.

BTW - going to post in the creative/fanart thread and request a banner for the Wardrobe/Costume dept thread. For a creative department, they should have a creative thread title banner.

I'll post the video, Terry and her team's name and links this afternoon.

Let me know what you think.

T'Lynn - thanks for the cast pic.

sourburst · 10-03-2014, 12:21 PM

Last week Caitriona had an #AskOutlander session. She has a great sense of humor.

Enjoy!

Outlander: Caitriona Answers Your Q’s on Twitter!

Caitriona Balfe chatted with fans today on Twitter, from a train station, at the same time as Sam Heughan. Please go read Sam’s Q&A when you’re done here!

Q So Outlander is fantasic, and I’m extremely glad to have had the pleasure of being the lovely Caitriona’s neighbor for a few years.
A hey…!!! And a wonderful cat sitter! So nice to hear from you. Say hi to our mom from me xx

Q Practical suggestion: Q&A hashtag for tomorrow should be amended to #AskHungoverOutlander.
A Haha exactly.
Terry: You off, Lovely?

Q FROM SAM: I “may” be in a pub…”
A My destination aside, I think you win this round. I’d rather be in the pub!! #hairofthedog

Q How do you deal with bullies and people who bring you down?
A It’s small people that put others down to make themselves feel better. Focus on what brings you happiness. It does…

Q What was the most important lesson you learned in shooting s1 that you’d carry over to s2?
A That it’s possible!! That seeing the response makes any hard day worth it!!

Q What was the first scene you shot?
A First scene I shot was the field hospital in WW2. Epic beginning.

Q Which scene from the book was your screen test with each other?
A One was the scene where Jamie falls off the horse. And the 2nd was the “was it like you thought it would be” Ep 7.

Q What is your greatest joy in life right now?
A Knowing that tomorrow I will be on a beach!

Q Favourite piece of clothing from the set?
A My nightgown from Ep 1.

Q What will you do now that you have finished filming Outlander?
A Sleep!!!

Q Does the break include vacay or is Outlander promo still on deck?
A First vacay, then see what they spring on us.

Q Tolkien… yes or no?

Q Do you collect anything?
A I have a few snow globes (that weird??)

Q Who in the cast would fill up a blooper reel the fastest?
A As we saw last night. That would be me!!!

Q Have you already been in Italy?
A Yes I used to spend lots of time there. Love it!!

Q What were your first impressions of each other? Was the chemistry instantaneous?
A That he was incredibly sweet. And tall.

Q Tobias plays your lover and your enemy. Do you prefer acting with the 20th or 18th century Randall?
A The scene with Black Jack are usually great meaty scenes so love them from an acting standpoint. But the ’40s was just so romantic.

Q Re your hair. Will you revert back to your pre-Outlander style and color during hiatus?
A Well will take a while for the perm to grow out but yes will be nice to have my own hair again.

Q What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you, paranormal or otherwise?
A Once had a ghost experience in Japan. That was scary.

Q How is it to kiss Sam on almost a daily basis on set?
A From Sam: Yes, how is it Cait???

A A few bruises. I did manage to injure Sam sewing him.

A Don’t think any!

A Eddie.
