The one where Nikki wants to talk about the Heather
Nikki: Oh crap. My plane is boarding! All I have to say/ask is how many people freaked out because she wasn’t wearing a yellow dress? Next one I’m ALL over the sporrans and the knee socks and the make of Frank Randall’s car!
Beth: Argyle and armpit hair
Bekah: and how terrible it looks like Scotland would be on my hair because the FRIZZ on claire’s head. At least they got that right but ugh it is such a sweet photo.
Beth: it looks like it’s been mistily raining on her head
Bekah: yes… even on Jamie’s head a bit.. Scotland and I would NOT be friends
Beth: And I mean ON JUST her head
Beth: nope. I would look like a may pole. no volume
Bekah: oh my volume would be OUT OF CONTROL
Nikki: I”M STILL HERE! (Wasn’t my plane) THE HEATHER GUYS- talk about the heather! they’re not rolling in it but at least they’re holding it
Bekah: but this photo.. it’s so sweet. This has to be after the honeymoon when they are getting to know each other. YOU THINK?
Beth: No, it’s the picnic date scenes
Bekah: and how do you know this? do you have Sam on speed dial?
Beth: It’s when they are sitting and eating grass in the horse paddock or whatever
Bekah: when she’s kinda admitting she likes him around?
Beth: because they are holding that grass
Nikki: it’s not HEATHER?!?!
Bekah: WTF IS HEATHER?
Beth: yeah, when she is supposed to go look at his shoulder and instead they talk and get to know each other
Nikki: im the worst fan ever
Bekah: Oh, yes me too
Beth: Is heather purple? (see, I don”t know everything!)
Bekah: Here, I googled “what color is heather” Answer: “Pinkish, lavender, bluish type color.”
Beth: Remember he brings up “wind” and like they barely know each other. Virgin Jamie has very little game.
Bekah: Yeah he’s way virginy here
Nikki: HEATHER
Beth: YAY. I was right. HEATHER = purple. Purple’s cool.
Bekah: Man, we’re really talking about Heather, huh?
Don’t Screw it up #RON
Bekah: I was thinking this is right after he’s been freshly effed because they seem awfully flirty
Beth: They were pretty flirty at first too
Bekah: i could use some extra flirty. WERE they?
Beth: But I think this is like the 2nd episode
Bekah: i mean… YES in a way… but i also remember not knowing Jamie was THE GUY until you told me in a text Beth
Nikki: really?! i was thinking they’d draw it out till at least the middle of the season. gotta love tension
Bekah: like that wasn’t clear to me for awhile.. (i knew NOTHING about the book! just blindly read it) no i think it happens early… we do know that.. like… 3 or 4th episode? do we know for sure?
Beth: The 2nd episode is called “Castle Leoch” so they are already that far into the book by then
Bekah: yeah the first episode she has to go through the stones to get people excited .although they should do a 2 hour first episode. JUST A SUGGESTION STARZ PEOPLE
Beth: Yes, and it’s entitled “Sassenach” so she’s at least there
Nikki: i assume its only 10 epis so it’ll move quick
Beth: It’s 16 eps
Nikki: no hanging around in the garden examining heather and garlic cloves
Beth: SIX FREAKING TEEN
Nikki: 16!!!!!!!!
Beth: So there will be plenty of long treks on the moors
Nikki: thats insane for tv now! especially premiere channels
Bekah: damn. there better be long scenes in the bedroom. they film first season until mid summer. crazy!!
Beth: Yes! It’s like the biggest order ever for a premium show like this.
Bekah: HOPE IT’S WORTH IT:)
Nikki: they better do it justice. RON (and I’m not talking about ron pattinson)
Beth: RON
Bekah:RON
Nikki: poor #ron
Where are their claws?
Bekah: okay so THIS plaid I can get behind
Beth: Let’s talk costumes
Nikki: ok now i’m boarding
Bekah: i love it. I want to be wrapped up in it. i don’t want it under my christmas tree. although I wouldn’t mind HIM under my christmas tree… wrapped in it… maybe a kitten or two in it too… i dunno. just thinking out loud
Nikki: jamie looks hot. i totally get it now
Bekah: yeah. he looks… like Jamie
Beth: THOSE BOOTS. Terry (@OutlanderCostum) said his books are French military. YOU GUYS. The detail in that statement. I love *boots.
Bekah: i mean.. his knees are skinny. he has the SKINNIEST LEGS
Beth: Yeah, he has thin legs, but they look good here.
Bekah: yeah you can’t tell. he just seems smaller than i remember. but maybe it’s b/c I’m stuck in the middle of a read of 14 mediocre books about immortal demons/vampires/werewolves. maybe THAT’S why. seeing a Human is like.. throwing me off
Beth: LIke WHERE are his massive claws? I get that
A really serious question about underthings…
Bekah: Okay Back to the humans… and the human BOOBS we have going on on Claire. Damn girl! looks good
Beth: Almost as big as Jamie’s peccs
Bekah: haha true. i do have to say, as i’m wearing a wool sweater today and DYING b/c of the itchiness.. the dress looks tres uncomfortable. (see what i did there? I used a french word. take that costume designer & your french boots) wait..i think was French..
Beth: she looks good though … very curvy
Bekah: i’m kinda itching as i’m looking at it. yes very… think there’s some stuffing in those hips? was that the style?
Beth: Yeah, she’s wearing a bum roll I think
Bekah: I have a real serious question: is there NOTHING under the kilt? I mean..i know yes, technically not, but.. he’s sitting on stones…like ROCKS
Beth: like ow you mean?
Bekah: They look kinda like mildewy rocks. isn’t he concerned about bumpage or scrapage?
Beth: Like scrote rippage?
Bekah: is it just KILT fabric? or do they have multiple players, right. err *multiple layers.. not players. i don’t think there are players up in there… playing around
Beth: I think there is a LOT Of kilt fabric though
Bekah: okay so a bit of fabric, and do we just assume that Sam is going traditional Scot and wearing nothing under there? I mean… yes, right? he doesn’t have alike.. a nice tight pair of Calvin Kleins under there? Can you call him up on you speed dial real quick?
Beth: but I mean their backsides were pretty rough and stuff from riding horses, having no toilet paper, defecating in the heather etc
Bekah: haha. that’s true. verra verra tough backsides
Beth: I think for purposes of shooting the show, anytime he doesn’t HAVE to show that there’s nothing underneath there (YES CANNOT WAIT) then he probably wears whatever he normally does. LIke how when actress are shooting a scene where their feet don’t show they don’t wear weird costume shoes, they wear UGGS or whatever
Bekah: So he’s probably in Boxer briefs with santas on them? all dec. long?
Beth: Yeah, he’s in Boxer briefs from M&S
Bekah: AWWWWW rob pattinson connection yet again! Omg what if we got a Rob Pattinson & sam pic together. i mean.. the chances are… possible. they’re from the same continent
Beth: WORLDS COLLIDE
I remember TV Guide like I remember when I turned 6 in ’89
Bekah: Can we talk for a min about how they chose to go to TV GUide for the release of this? TV GUIDE
Beth: Like where is the EW exclusive? Is that what you mean?
Bekah: YEP. I mean… is that still 4×4 and comes in the mail in the newspaper?
Beth: I guess TV Guide tries to be hip now. They have a website or something
Bekah: and one of those new social media accounts??
Beth: a new-fangled Facebook page
What we really wish we could see
Bekah: So Jamie is def gonna be rocking the curly look. We’ve seen enough pics that it’s not an accident.
Beth: He’s definitely going to be curley heided,
Bekah: Unless all the promo shots were taken on one very rainy, humid day
Beth: haha they probably were.
Bekah: all i know is that they better cast the curliest-haired girl EVER as Brianna.. none of this perfect straight red-headed shit. with parents whose hair turns like THAT in the humidity…. that thing better be a mess
Beth: Also, can I just say that I would have liked to see them either A) standing together so we can gauge his size by hers or #2 ON A HORSE TOGETHER (sigh)
Bekah: sigh.,… agreed. or a kiss. throws of passion.. is that too much to ask? yes?
Beth: Maybe they haven’t filmed any kissing yet? But I’d rather not be totally second hand embarrassed by everyone’s reaction to a kiss photo, thanks. But a horse riding photo I can handle. Or a Claire fixes Jamie’s shoulder pic. OMG. that wouldve been awesome
Bekah: I mean.. this is a great pic. love the outfits, but fingering (!) some maybe dried out heather?
Beth: They should’ve marketed it like that. PIC OF FINGERING COMING SOON.
Bekah: They need us. Clearly
Beth: They didn’t want to post an action shot
Bekah: We know they’ve read TN… aren’t they aware of our love for the GIF? how about a gif of: Claire & Jamie getting on the horse? He helps Claire up… jumps up behind her. DEAD… or– His arm hangs limp and bruised at his side.. she walks over, snaps it into place. DEAD
Beth: OMG, he hands her a flask while she’s wrapped in his plaid and then he SMIRKS
Bekah: DEAD
Beth: TOTALLY DEAD
Bekah: He thrusts while— wait never mind
Beth: please stop there
Bekah: I did. But don’t just ASSUME I was going somewhere naughty.. I was maybe going to just say he thrusts his sword with his opposite hand, impressing us with his left-handed skills.
Beth: yeah.. that’s definitely what you were going to say…
So what do you think? Impressed by our first look of Claire & Jamie together? Anyone catch the latest article in Readers Digest?*
*that’s a joke…. TV guide/Reader’s Digest/Saturday Evening Post.. I can keep going…
