Everything about Outlander on 2013.
This year 2013 is almost over. How has it been for the STARZ new series, adapted from Diana Gabaldon's best selling novels? Did you miss the ride? Want to remember? OK, here we go...

June 25th: It's official, press release and all. Diana Gabaldon herself makes the announcement in her FB page. STARZ and Sony Pictures will adapt the (for the moment) first book of the saga into a TV show.
July 09th: After several days filled with rumours on Twitter, is confirmed: scottish actor Sam Heughan will bring Jamie Fraser to life. Diana Gabaldon approves. Me too!
August 08th: Tobias Menzies will have a double role in the series. He'll play both, Frank Randall and his ancestor, Jonathan Black Randall.
August 20th: John Dahl (“Dexter,” “Breaking Bad,”) will direct the first two episiodes of Outlander.
August 26th: STARZ makes a poll, to know what name we'd like to be known for, as fans of the show.
August 30th: Annette Badland and Stephen Walters will play Mrs Fitz and Angus Mhor.
Seems like Angus' role will be bigger in the TV series than the book, which makes some people nervous, fearing the show will stray too much from the books. From the STARZ Network, they ask for confidence and patience. So, in STARZ we trust.
September 04th: Gary Lewis will play Colum Mackenzie. And Graham McTavish will be his brother, Dougal Mackenzie. They both are Jamie's uncles.
September 06th: Tall Ship Productions (Maril) makes for the fist time (but not the last) a Q&A in Twitter for the Outlander fans. Yeah! A lot of interesting insight from this.
