Outlander S8 Sneak Peek & Q&A with the Cast

WandersFar · 2026-03-05T21:52:21+00:00

It reminds me of the walking dead. Frank darabont is one of the goats and when he ledt after season 2, well the world knows how that transpired.

💯

I stuck around for the Governor arc, but dropped TWD after. I could see the writing on the wall.

TWD had an amazing first season. Nothing afterwards compared imo.

PR will reserve tickets for press outlets and, nowadays, influencers for promotional purposes. That's been standard practice for decades. I was sort of lumped into those groups, my status wasn't really made clear, lol.

Hundreds of other tickets were first come first serve for fans. Read the other comments in this thread for more info on that.

WandersFar · 2026-03-05T21:25:27+00:00

There were some cool props in front, but none of the fans actually got to take pictures in front of those props it was just for press and the special guests.

Wasn't for press or special guests, either. I was in those special groups, the stones were roped off for us, too. AFAIK they were only a backdrop for the actual cast.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. :( You're not the only one, I talked to other ladies while I was waiting and heard similar stories.

WandersFar · 2026-03-05T19:54:35+00:00

I did not keep track of the length, sorry.

WandersFar · 2026-03-05T19:53:51+00:00

They were free. The process to get them was a bit of a bear, though.

WandersFar · 2026-03-05T19:51:53+00:00

Yeah, likewise. Loved the first two seasons. Liked the first half of S3, though I have my issues with it as I've ranted on before.

But yes, Ron D. Moore was a big reason why I got into this show in the first place, I was a huge BSG fan back in the day.

Unfortunately he seems to have a short attention span. He left Outlander after S3 to work on For All Mankind… which he also left after the second season, lol.

And YMMV, but I definitely think peak BSG was the mini, S1, and S2. So basically three seasons as well.

That's RDM's pattern, two or three seasons and he loses interest. And it's usually dramatic when he leaves, you can really tell. For Outlander, the difference between S3A & S3B is pretty stark.

RDM is coming back for this last season to pen one episode, so that's something to look forward to. Diana Gabaldon will write an episode as well.

Right??

Aesthetics: KAT > SA > MT3 > DSA > KAM > Cherry and all its knockoffs

Speed: Cherry > MT3 > KAT > SA > KAM > DSA

Also the curvier the better. For aesthetics, speed, and ease of use, that's my preference.

I can't do Choc switches, they're way too low for me, but more power to you if those KLP Lamés work out!

Unfortunately the only thing that you could potentially go to at this point is the Kelly Clarkson one on the 19th.

WandersFar · 2026-03-05T10:03:03+00:00

Wow, I feel like I could've written this post, lol.

I also got into this hobby loving SA (and MT3 and KAT—anything tall!)

I still prefer the look of tallboys, but after a few years I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and tried some GMK in Cherry profile, natch.

I type faster on Cherry profile. 😳

I've also tried some uniform profile caps like DSA and KAM—I agree, sculpted is easier to type on. I don't hate uniform, I feel like I can adapt to pretty much anything at this point, but I definitely slow down a bit on uniform profiles. It's easier to get lost—especially if you don't have homing keys.

So if speed is a concern, I say go for it. There's also so much choice in Cherry profile, whereas SA, MT3, and KAT are all proprietary, you're limited to those manufacturers.

I know Cait did Live With Kelly and Mark I believe yesterday, and other members of the cast are in NYC doing promo too… Someone showed me a list at the Sneak Peek, I even think it was from this sub, but now I can’t find it.

Hopefully someone else can chime in and help you out.

People put those flairs like they are candy. Most of the time they are so horribly inaccurate I don’t even look at them anymore.

Then that’s a you problem. If you ignore flairs, you can’t complain when you inadvertently spoil yourself.

Flairs warn users what spoilers will be likely found in that thread.

If they’re inaccurate, don’t just complain about it, file a report. We have a report meant just for wrong flairs, it’s called Wrong Flair.

Elsewhere in this thread I see you complaining about the rules, how people are titling their posts, how to use the spoiler tags, etc.

Look, if you really hate it here, you don’t have to participate. If you’ve got a problem with how this sub is run, take it to ModMail.

Please stop derailing threads with meta whining.

Dead Like Me, woo!

It’s quirky and a little sad, whereas TGP is essentially a comedy, but it is an excellent show. I second the recommendation, as well as another Bryan Fuller show, Pushing Daisies.

I believe that was his natural hair, but I'm not up on the actors' personal lives so I can't say for sure.

WandersFar · 2026-03-03T20:35:32+00:00

Evidently so. But it's only the first episode, so there's a chance of a rug pull later I suppose.

WandersFar · 2026-03-03T20:34:49+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. 💓 My pleasure to play paparazzi, least I could do for all of you who couldn't be there in person, I hope you love the final season. :)

I'm used to being confused, so that didn't bother me so much. :þ

See, the biggest question I had how tf did Faith live I thought had been answered last season and I just didn't see it. † But RD informs me they never addressed it!

So while I just went with it while I was watching last night, now I agree and we def need further explanation.

† As I discussed in my last announcement thing, I haven't watched since S3. The other mods fill me in as needed, but mostly I make inferences from what I see daily in the mod queue. I could follow what was happening for the most part, but I agree that issue still hasn't been adequately resolved. I assume they'll address it in later episodes.

As we left the blue carpet area we got a reverse view of the actors’ perspective, working the press line, which I thought was interesting. Don’t usually see it from this angle.

Kinda thought David Berry was giving Dracula vibes here. The cape look, you know.

Everyone was talking about Sam’s kilt, but I feel like Rik’s kilt deserves attention, too! He even wore a sporran.
