Outlander season two started off with a bang Saturday as showrunner Ron D. Moore completely changed the way the series began from its source material, Dragonfly In Amber.
Book readers were well aware that the beginning of season two would take place in an entirely new time, as author Diana Gabaldon’s second novel opens with Claire (Caitriona Balfe) in 1968 — 20 years after having returned to her own time and reuniting with her first husband Frank (Tobias Menzies). The story picks up after Frank’s death, with Claire finally telling her adult daughter Brianna (Sophie Skelton) that her real father was Jamie (Sam Hueghan).
