That continued drop in ratings for S2. Hopefully this one will be better.
Aye.Can't wait!
The Battle Joined
Season 3 begins with Jamie at the mercy of unforgiving British victors, following the Battle of Culloden, until a connection from his past provides his only hope of survival. Meanwhile, a pregnant Clarie attempts to adjust to life in 1940s Boston and life with Frank.
From the amazing last episode of last season ending with "I have to go back" I was so hyped for the the season opener and what we got was a filler episode with events that are not important now. I hope they dont drip this out any more.
Come on just carry on from last season for fuck sake.
They're much older now, but fuck it if I don't want to see some Claire and Jamie sex scenes again. These two can teach stans of a recent pairing in another show what real chemistry is.
It was filler to show The Battle of Culloden - the moment that the plot had been building to all series long? And to show the physical and emotional fallout of that + Claire and Jamie's separation?
You don't just jump ahead 16+ years and not show what happened in the interim.
Bingo. And I wouldn't even really call it "filler" either. It's definitely important to show what they both went through while apart.
Absolutely. This is a character driven show and it's essential to show the defining moments of their lives.
What of the reunion then? Some may ask why isnt it right away, and the years apart told later in flashbacks? To that I will suggest watching the opening scene of The Reckoning (S1, E9), in which Jamie narrates, Every day, every man has a choice between right and wrong, between love and hate, sometimes between life and death, and the sum of those choices becomes your life. As Jamie and Claire each made the other a better person and encouraged his or her best qualities, the influence of each other is felt in the way they treat other people, the way they grieve and love and rebel and fight. There is no name for that presence, as it is what they feel when they are together that cant be explained. Thats why those twenty years are not lost years; all the choices they made have led them back to each other.
I thought this article was a nice write-up of what's probably the first few episodes of Season 3 (so, it spoils a couple things, they're mostly thematic about a couple characters. No big revelations in it other than what you'd see in a movie review) but it had a quote in it at the end that is appropriate here.

The Starz drama returned this past Sunday to a series-high audience of 1.49 million total viewers a tally that swelled to 2.09 million over the course of three airings that night.
The 8 pm audience of 1.49 million also marks the third-largest ever for a Starz season opener, trailing Power Season 3 (2.26 mil) and Power Season 4 (1.68 mil), while the total audience of 2.1 million bests the series landmark The Wedding episode (2.04 mil).
Outlanders performance with Women 35+ and Adults 50+ was second-best of all premium pay TV this year, behind only (and understandably) HBOs Game of Thrones.
Surrender
Jamie leads a lonely life hidden in a cave until Lallybroch is threatened by redcoats pursing the elusive Jacobite traitor; and in Boston, Claire and Frank struggle to coexist in a marriage haunted by the ghost of Jamie.
And am I crazy but does Fergus have a half French, half Scottish accent now? It was more than just saying "aye".
That continued drop in ratings for S2. Hopefully this one will be better.
sourceAlthough the Outlander TV show dropped in the 18-49 year old viewer demographic in season two, the total audience actually grew by nearly five percent. Because premium cable networks rely on paid subscribers rather than ad revenue audience growth is more important than a shows demo numbers
Still because its Starz I'm worried... I think that Black Sails and Outlander would have done wonders on HBO or Netflix.
Will never get tired of intro music.
Wait is it not like season 1?I want the original intro music back.

All Debts Paid
In prison, Jamie discovers that an old foe has become the warden. Claire and Frank both put their best foot forward in marriage, but an uninvited guest shatters the illusion.
The bagpipes are missing from the end part.
Didnt noticed that. Just the slower tempo. Good touch.The intro is different every season. It's actually rather clever. Season 2 was French-styled to fit the locale, and this season cuts out the piping bags as the Scotsmen have lost their rebellion and spirit. That's how I interpret the change anyway.
Interesting premise. How much does the show deal with the time traveling / sci-fi aspects?
