I'm an avid Outlander fan...in fact, I'm relistening to A Breath of Snow and Ash as we speak.
It has amazed me, so far, how each new casting announcement leaves me saying, "Yep, I can see that."
Never before have the characters in my mind been so deftly realized on screen.
I know so many people who are so excited about this show. From all different areas in my life too. Its going to be huge, isn't it?
This is my thinking.
The only thing that could make it bigger, with the target audience that is me, would be casting Richard Armitage and "Sharpe" era Sean Bean.
The existing audience is HUGE, then you throw in Ron Moore's clan and the gorgeous backdrop and the (hopefully) well developed historical stuff of the novels and well...behemoth sized popularity.
That Ron guy knows how to pick 'em.
I'm following Starzoutlander on Instagram for the Deerhound and pony pictures. (Well, I joined on the basis of deerhounds and ponies.)
Deerhounds.
I canna wait!
I'm as interested to see how they will cast Rollo, Ian's beast. In my mind, he's something darker and heavier than even that.
I wonder how many eps? Basically it means there won't be surprise Barrowman, but it doesn't guarantee he'll be there a lot.
And Mark Sheppard on SPN.
