All those dinner parties that you dinna know what to say when someone brought up Jamie and Claire!
Fortunately, we know how to fix it: by encouraging you to read this handy primer!
Let’s go back to the very beginning, shall we?
Starz
Meet Claire, a WWII nurse and the primary voice in the uber-successfulOutlandernovels by Diana Gabaldon.
Now, there about 7,450 Twitter accounts* devoted to her work.
Once the war was over in 1945, they decided to enjoy a second honeymoon in Scotland.
Frank will live to regret this trip.
Meanwhile, Frank’s back at the B&B thinking, “Where’d my wife go?”
He won’t see her again until season 2.
Gee, he looks a lot like him!
Gee, he’s mean!
If only he knew therealstory of her nutty time travel!
Aye, does this turn into a love affair for the ages, or what?
It’s now the best romance on TV!
(SorryJack and Rebecca Pearson).
Because Claire knows what really happens (she’s from the future, remember?)
she and Jamie embark on a valiant but ultimately ill-fated attempt to stop the impending Battle of Culloden.
Because she’s carrying baby No.
