Yeah, Lord John got a mystery series. Is he a rapist? Uh, I don't remember that, but it could be. I used to conflate him with the guy who was Frank's ancestor and abused Jamie in prison, though.
Who's Ron Moore?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ron Moore's the guy behind the recent Battlestar Galactica. He also produced ST: Deep Space 9.

I like the Outlander books, as long as i can skim over the Claire and Jamie's daughter subplots.
I would like Kate Winslet to play younger Claire and Emma Thompson to play older Claire, please. No idea for Jamie.
Lord John wasn't a rapist, but rather hopelessly in the Big Gay Lurve with Jamie -- impossible, as Jamie was raped by Claire's modern husband's ancestor, and rather desperately in love with Claire.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Lord John is gay. The rapist you are thinking of is Black Jack Randall, Claire's husband's ancestor. Lord John was the warden or governor or whatevs of the prison Jamie was in for years. I believe they played chess. John had an unrequited crush on Jamie, and eventually they developed a kind of friendship. John ends up raising Jamie's son. Don't ask me exactly how that happened, don't remember.
Yeah, I'd check out a tv show of Outlander. I've read all of the ones out, I think. Not sure.
Xpost with Strix!

Thrive to spite them
I haven't read the last two. I had already lost interest when there were multiple chances to deal with the Villian (whose name I'm forgetting, but he ends up being a bit of a stalker.
The last one I read was before the Revolutionary War started. It honestly felt like an ending to the series. And then I meant to read the others, but kept losing interest. Then Gabaldon was very vocally against fanfiction and then I just decided I wasn't going to put more effort into finishing the series.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I officially love The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. I liked it from the beginning, but after the fifth book I like it more than any YA fantasy series I've read other than the big HP. I actually think I like it more than The Chronicles of Prydain, and that's some serious childhood memory it's beating to get there.
I read the first two, maybe three, but then I got bored with them. I remember there were some parts that I liked, but as a whole, they just didn't hold my interest.
