Did you check the link in my signature? There are quite a bit.

I've been wanting to check this series out, but haven't yet. It looks really promising though.

I understand that the main heroine is a time traveler, and I read something about the 1940s/WWII and her having time traveled before? So is she originally from the 1940s, or is she from our time and time traveled to that period prior to ending up in the 18th century?

CityGal

Claire is a 20th century woman. She's a WWII combat nurse who winds up in 18th century Scotland.

Rhovanion

Ah ok. Thanks for clearing it up.

Hey there!

Been stumbling over this show for weeks now at twitter and tumblr so finally decided to give it a try and WOW! This show is amazing and totally my cup of tea as far as genre! I'm so excited about this show and I already know it's going to be the death of me in the most amazing way!

I obviously know now it's based on series of books and here's my question - should I start reading them now being so anxious about what happens next or just patiently follow the story on the show? I know it's ultimately a question of personal preference but it's not easy waiting for a new episode knowing there is a place to know what happens next....

Any advice?

^ I'm in the same boat! Can't decide.

Finally watched the 2nd episode - I enjoyed it. This story is amazing. I may need to watch it again because it's very hard to understand their accents sometimes, which is unfortunate. But yeah, I'll probably catch it on TV again.

CityGal

Here's a suggestion. Read at the same rate as the story. Read only up to where the episode ends that way you don't spoil it or read slightly ahead to increase anticipation of where the story is going.

But the novel should be read on its own. It is very well written and should be appreciated for Diana's words and work separate from Ron Moore's.

lafcia

Thank you for your advice and that's what I decided to started doing...reading the book parallelly to the show. I already noticed (like many others too) that the show keeps it very close to the book and it's led with great respect to the novel. Reading it along with watching the show , it expends the world we see on tv in the most amazing way.

CityGal

You'll notice much of the dialogue is actually on the show which is kinda nice.

The settings are just stunning on TV - simply gorgeous.

Drunk On You

That's a great suggestion. Although I couldn't do that.

lafcia

I've just returned from a week in Cornwall and I was blown away with the landscapes there but what they're showing me on this show - man, Scotland is magically stunning! Gotta go there for my next vacation.

Also, I love when a location plays a huge part in a tv show, being like a seperate character that you can learn about as the series moves on.

CityGal

^Completely agree. I hear the scenery gets better when they get on the road.

This appeared on my dash today. Love it.
