Dont read until youve watched Sundays season 3 premiere ofOutlander.

And to think it may have gone onlonger.

We should give the audience some sense of what happened on that moor.)

Initially, his thought was to gobig.

Because the battle, in truth, only took about 15, 20 minutes.

So in reality, you could play the whole thing in real time.

Outlander Season 3

This is really how it took place.

So I wrote the battle from Jamies perspective, taking him through the whole thing.

But it was just too much.

We couldnt really produce it.

It was gonna take too many days out of the schedule.

Instead, Moore decided to depict the war in a series of hallucinatory memories.

It just gave it a much more emotional kind of component.

If youre playing it as a linear battle, you get involved in the story.Where are they?

What time do we charge?

It didnt need any dialogue at all, and you were really inside Jamies experience.

This is a good example of that.

Even better, Moore had Gabaldons approval.
