While the show will continue to adhere to Gabaldon’s novels, Moore said that they’ve found organic ways to deviate in small, dramatically earned ways, particularly in regards to Tobias Menzies’ role in the series. Menzies played Claire’s husband in the future, Frank Randall, and his villainous ancestor, “Black Jack” Randall, in Season 1, and we will see Frank again in Season 2 — an addition that Moore says “folded itself in” very neatly while they were breaking Season 2 in the writers’ room.
There was no shortage of physical danger for Claire and Jamie in Season 1, but that will change in Season 2, according to Heughan: “The danger in Paris and Versailles is less physical with swords and weaponry; it’s more politics and backstabbing and poison. It’s more hidden. There’s a lot more politics at work and a lot more danger.” But rest easy, Highland fans — “then we go back to Scotland, where we go back to the blood and mud and gore,” he said.

“Moore said that they’ve found organic ways to deviate in small, dramatically earned ways….” bah humbug on mr. moore and his frustrated ‘writing’ career.
He’s not rewriting Proust, Balzac, nor Shakespeare but Bildungsroman nor is he bowdlerizing. It is not ignominious nor dross. I await the next installment with alacrity. Lighten up
