From IGN:
Outlander brought together Jamie Fraser and Black Jack Randall for the first time since the escape from Wentworth Prison in Saturday’s episode, which was an especially charged sequence for the two characters. It also was especially charged for the two actors playing those characters, who also hadn’t seen each other since the events of the Season 1 finale in a way that would allow themselves to heal.

The second season of “Outlander” got off to a surprising start — especially for fans of Diana Gabaldon’s series of books.

From EW:
In anticipation of the season 2 premiere of Outlander (April 9 on Starz), EW talked to Ronald D. Moore on location in England about the challenges in adapting Diana Gabaldon’s second book Dragonfly in Amber for the small screen, and whether the evil Black Jack Randall (played by the terrific Tobias Menzies) will show up in France.
Did you feel like you needed a happy ending to season 1 to keep the viewers coming back?
RONALD D. MOORE: An audience will go just about anywhere you ask them to go as long as you’re telling a good story. They’ll just keep suffering with characters over and over again. I did like the idea of at least some light at the end of the tunnel because I had asked the audience to go through two very intense, really emotional episodes at the end.

Here is a NEW interview with Sam Heughan from Marie Claire
From Marie Claire:
When it comes to guilty pleasures, we’ve got our fair share: donuts, bowls of pasta as big as our head, a glass of orange wine on a Friday afternoon. But no guilty pleasure is as guilty – or, indeed, as pleasurable – as Outlander. The sumptuous melodrama follows a feisty 1940s’ feminist who is hurled back in time to rebellion-era Scotland when she touches some magic rocks. Once in the wilds of the North, she stumbles upon the softly-spoken, kilt-wearing gentle giant Jamie, and lots of steamy, sexy sex ensues. All with a steadfast and resolute focus on female pleasure. It’s not only rare when it comes to television, but downright applause worthy. What’s not to love?
