It looks like the honeymoon is short-lived for Jamie and Claire. Where is their relationship headed in this half of the season?
Sam Heughan: “Their biggest hurdle is that the whole season really tests their relationship. They’re constantly fighting to get back to where they were on their wedding night, and it’s a great tragedy of the show that this wonderful relationship has been tainted for good. And I don’t think we can ever get back there; they’re constantly tested by things that happen. Jamie’s having to grow up now, his history with his sister comes into play, his best friend, and his dead father, too – and they’re trying to find a way to reconnect, but by the very end of the season, Claire and Jamie are left in two very different places.”

What can we expect in this second half of the first season of “Outlander”?
We start by going directly back to the moment we departed the show. So we go back to a slightly complicated moment between Jack, Jamie and Claire.
The second half is an equally big canvas. Lots to look forward to. Really great stuff. My main involvement is Jack’s stuff with Jamie … toward the end – their main confrontation. It’s dark. It will certainly be uncomfortable viewing.
Moore talked to Vox at January’s Television Critics Association winter press tour. He discussed the many influences behind the show, the modern state of US politics, and the best writing advice he ever got.
Todd VanDerWerff: What were some things you looked at when you were researching this period?
Ronald D. Moore: The writers brought in a lot of source material that we had in the office, and we would comb through it periodically. There was a lot of online surfing around. Primarily, I was looking at other movies and TV shows that were period pieces or associated with this period, just to see what had been done.
Richard Lester’s The Three Musketeers was a touchstone for me. I always went back to that. I loved the style of shooting, and the sense of authenticity to the period was really important.
And then there were things I was looking at to avoid. The Patriot is one of my pet hate movies: “The redcoats are not going to be that color, and everybody’s too clean, and we’re not going to be glossy like that.”
