I got rid of my Starz subscription and I’m BEHIND. I was really thinking about getting that 6 month subscription for just $20 so I can watch season 4 before it gets behind but your post decided it. I had no idea season 5 was coming so soon!
Season 4 is so good! The $20 deal sounds like the way to go. 🙂 And now that I’m thinking about it, I wonder if I have time for a season 4 re-watch before February…
I’m so excited for season five! I’ll have to wait for the DVD release, though. I don’t have Starz, and won’t get it for a single series. It’s okay…I read the book years ago, so there will be few surprises. I love how fantastically well done the TV series has been so far!
They really are doing a great job, and even when they deviate from the books, I’m mostly okay with the changes. Plus, visually, the show is just gorgeous!
The changes mostly try to stay true the overall ideals of the book, and they are so well done. One major change that I love is Murtagh surviving Culloden–and did he know, in the book, that Claire is from the future? I don’t think so, but I’m drawing a blank. Duncan Lacroix is awesome as Murtagh, so I’m delighted they didn’t kill him off.
100% agree! Murtagh’s death in the book really upset me, and I love him on the TV show, so I’m also super happy that they found a way to keep him around.
Killing off Murtagh is one of the few things that made say (out loud) “Oh, Diana, how COULD you?!” I hope Murtagh will be around for a good, long time in the TV series!

Me too!
Gotta say I am not a fan of the new theme song!
Well… each season, I find it takes me a minute to adjust, but I always end up loving the new versions too!
I suppose you’re right lol the original is still my favorite!
