IGN Sam And Cait SDCC2015 Interview

2 Comments

Max Scoville (@MaxScoville) and Roth Cornet (@RothCornet) of IGN interviewed Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan at the San Digeo Comic-Con today (7/10./2015).

This is one of the better interviews I have come across recently,  with solid questions for Sam and Cait to field. The discussion surrounds the S1 Finale and the upcoming S2 based on Dragonfly In Amber the second book of the 8 book series.

Though no spoilers were given for current fans of the show (and books), they share a few details about what is to come. The adaptation  of book to screen is even more challenging this season, but the essence and themes will be captured according to Cait. As Sam put it, when they are back in Scotland the second part of season 2, there  will be more mud and blood.  Caitriona talks about Claire’s struggle to follow a new set of social rules as a  woman when they arrive in France. Of course, the pregnancy and impending parenthood will be focused on as Jamie and Claire learn to work together, keep their bond and love during the season.

Please enjoy the screen captures.

Andrew Gower as his highness Bonnie Prince Charles the key to an historic event.  Find him on Twitter @TheAndrewGowan.

Natalie Spence as a wife. I wonder if she will have a tryst with a famous character. Find her on Twitter @nataliespence20 and Facebook.

Romann Berrux as much beloved Fergus (Claudel) an orphaned street child with a soecialty in pickpocketing who Jamie adopts. Incredible adventures await.

Dominique Piñon as Master Raymond. Sorcerer? Magician? Apothecary? What is he exactly? I am most excited about meeting him onscreen.

Robert Cavanah as Jamie’s wine merchant cousin Jared Fraser.


Stanley Weber as Le Comte St. Germain a mysterious and intriguing character who is involved in politics and society. Find him on Facebook, Twitter @Stanleyweber, and Instgram.

Each one will bring something special to the screen. Sister Hildegard, King Louis, Alexander Randall, Roger MacKenzie Wakefield, and Brianna Fraser are certainly on deck to be announced. A very exciting wait indeed.

Season 2 Musings

2 Comments

Season 1 has not finished airing by half yet, but every time I see a Twitter post from Matt Roberts or Maril Davis about Season 2 work being done, I figuratively and sometimes literally squeal.

It is surely a readers response.

Dragonfly in Amber introduces so many pivotal characters.

Brianna Ellen Randall (Fraser)
Roger MacKenzie Wakefield (wee Roger grown)
Fergus
Master Raymond
Alexander Randall
Mother Hildegarde
Fiona Graham
Lord John Grey (a taste)
Bonnie Prince Charles
………..among many others

The mere thought of seeing ALL of them in the flesh is beyond delight.

Paris. Oh my. The court. The contrast to the streets. The hospital. Intrigue. Sex. Violence. Healing. Grief. Oh yes it will be magnificent.

The build from Season 1, I believe will surpass even the fervor of the premiere itself.

For now I dream of each while waiting quite impatiently for the rest of Season 1.
