Having watched outlander since day 1, and having seen Sam in films prior to outlander, I’ve followed him on social media, read fan forum posts, seen pics, etc. His management team has scrubbed the internet. His rabid fans scoured the web when he was “dating” MacKenzie, and they did a great job proving that she was merely his beard (she had a real BF FFS!). His management realized the fake relationship did more harm than good, which is why the current approach of “I’m focusing on my career so I’m too busy to date” is safer. There were tons of posts about how he was openly gay prior to his outlander success. He was doing theater and small European films, and nobody cared. |
Good lord Lady, let it go

Agreed. Who cares? Whether or not he is gay doesn’t affect my enjoyment of the show. The guy who plays Lord John is straight, and playing a gay character. |
Seriously, it’s 2020; who cares if he’s gay? |
| This first episode was awful, right? Roger’s pasty, hairy body; geriatric soft porn; Jamie’s and Claire’s silver streaked hair. The list goes on. How must can one human endure? |
I'm dying here!
ALSO - SPOILERS TO FOLLOW I found this episode perfectly acceptable, with one major exception: I don't need the William Bonnet being alive plotline. Brianna facing him in the jail was a good ending to that storyline. It's just way, way too reminiscent of the same plot device they've used since season 1 - a horrible villain who just can't die. We've dealt with Jamie's rape, Claire's many close calls, and Brianna's rape. Cut it out. I'm just kind of losing interest, TBH. I sort of don't care what happens with our characters during the American Revolution (seems like it will be a re-tread of what happened in Scotland, at least day to day). |
As someone who has read the books, I suggest you get comfortable with the Bonnet plot line or don’t watch this season. |
I don’t care if he’s gay. I think it’s sad that he’s hiding it. And I’m simply rebutting the posters who think it’s not true, impossible to believe, etc. |
It’s not impossible to believe, there’s just no evidence of it beyond unsubstantiated rumors. You’re beating a dead horse. |
Agree |

The first episode was pretty boring. Sam Hueghen is so hot but he really can’t act at all. Omg Roger and Brianna are the worst. He has the personality of wet toast. I also find it weird that Brianna seems to have to connection to Frank, the k my dad she knew. She o ly cares about Jamie.
When Roger started playing the guitar on their wedding night I was hoping a bear would break in and maul him and that god awful guitar. They have no chemistry. Murtagh is way hotter. Honestly I don’t l ow why I stick with this show. It has t been fun or sexy since Scotland the first season. |
I would file for divorce if my husband did that right before we had sex. |
Lol. People who think a face to face serenade would be romantic have clearly never been on the cringe worthy receiving end of one. |
Exactly! They shouldn’t have rushed through the books so quickly. They should have done more in Scotland. They shouldn’t have aged them so quickly. Plus: isn’t Jamie supposed to be in his 40s...why so old looking? And, they should have stuck with what works: romance and sex between J&C (nobody cares about R&B). |
I think I love you. |
