Starz
Why are you addicted to "Outlander"?
I love the epic romance of Jamie and Claire!
The gorgeous landscapes and great acting are big selling points.
To be honest, I'll watch anything about time travel.
The killer costumes have me hooked.
Starz
Has "Outlander" taught you anything about history or nah?
Yes. Thanks to this show, I feel like a master of British/Scottish history.
Maybe? It's taught me the word "Sassenach," if that counts.
Nah. I still don't know what a Jacobite is.
I think "Outlander" may have actually made me worse at history.
Starz
Who's worse: Stephen Bonnet or Black Jack Randall?
Stephen Bonnet
Black Jack Randall
They're equally evil.
The Comte St. Germain is worse than them both!

How much does "Outlander" make you crave handmade knitted sweaters?
Not at all. I'm a warm-weather person.
A little bit, but I know I could never look as great as the actors do because I don't have a background of Scottish fog.
Not gonna lie: I sometimes go online shopping after watching an episode.
I live for their knitwear.
Starz
In your opinion, should Brianna and Roger have stayed in the present?
No. Brianna needed to meet Jamie.
Maybe. They don't seem to be having a good time in the past.
Yes. 1964 is a lot safer than 18th century South Carolina.
Sure. Whatever gets them off my TV screen is fine by me.
Starz
Do you think "Outlander" stars Catriona Balfe (Claire) and Sam Heugnan (Jamie) have ever dated in real life?
Yes. I'm convinced that they're actually in love.
Maybe they slept together once ... their chemistry is off the charts, after all.
Probably not, but you never know!
No, of course not

Which "Outlander" setting has been the most beautiful?
1940s Britain
18th century France
18th century North Carolina
18th century Scotland
Starz
Do you think it's weird that Jamie and Claire haven't really aged since Season 1?
They've aged a little bit, I think?
Maybe they're just really good at skincare?
I think it's hilarious.
No, because of course the producers of the show wouldn't let them look old.
Starz
In your opinion, does "Outlander" over-romanticize the past?
No. I think it's remarkably realistic, actually.
They take some liberties with reality, but so what?
Not as much as "Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman," but it's pretty silly.
Oh yeah!

Which villain would you rather chill with: Geillis Duncan, Dougal MacKenzie, Le Comte St. Germain or Frank Randall?
Le Comte St. Germain
Frank Randall
Dougal MacKenzie
Geillis Duncan
Starz
Do you like seeing all of the medical emergencies that Claire has to deal with?
I secretly love it; I'm a big fan of gore.
Watching them makes me feel lucky to live in the present day.
I like that Claire has an important job, but I wish they'd spare us the vivid details.
No, they're so gross!
Starz
Real talk: is Brianna too stupid to live?
No. I think she's a pretty relatable character who is doing her best.
At times. I guess she inherited Claire's impulsive nature.
Yes, but I blame Diana Gabaldon, not the actress who plays Bree.
You know it!

Starz
Should Claire be using the stones to go back in time and right historical wrongs?
No. She's using them for love, the most important thing of all.
Maybe, but what if that causes damage to the space-time continuum?
Well, wasn't that what she was trying to do with the Jacobite rebellion?
Yes. Knowing what she does about World War II, why doesn't she do something about Hitler?
Starz
Which "Outlander" sidekick would you totally go camping with?
Young Ian
Mary Hawkins
Jenny Fraser
Murtagh

Starz
Who's more beautiful: Claire or Jamie?
Jamie
Claire
They're equally beautiful.
Who cares? I'm here for Dougal.
Starz
Do you believe Jamie's politically progressive viewpoints are realistic for the time he's from?
Yes, because Jamie is the best!
Usually, although sometimes the show pushes it a bit too far.
Some of them are and some of them aren't.
No, not at all
Starz
Which character's adventures would you watch if "Outlander" did a spin-off?
I'd watch a prequel about Claire's life as a nurse (pre-Jamie and Frank.)
Murtagh should star in his own detective series.
"The Adventures of Geillis Duncan" would be must-see TV in my house.
I'm all about "The Master Raymond Show."

Starz
Is "Outlander" too violent or just violent enough?
Actually, it should be more violent.
As long as Jamie keeps his shirt off, the violence is fine by me!
The balance of violence to romance is great, in my opinion.
I wish it were less graphic.
Starz
How accurately does "Outlander" portray Scottish history and culture?
I don't know and I don't care.
Totally accurately (I think?)
For a TV show, it's pretty accurate.
You can't use Scottish rocks to time travel, bro.
Starz
Do you care about Brianna and Roger?
Yes, they're an adorable couple!
Roger is OK, but Brianna is too perfect.
No. I'm all about Fergus and Marsali instead.
No, not even a little bit

Starz
Is Claire way too casual about hiding her time-traveler status?
No. I think she keeps it together pretty well.
Sometimes, but she's learning to be more cautious.
Time traveling is hard, OK?
Yes! She's insanely reckless.
Starz
Which "Outlander" setting has had the best costumes?
18th century France
18th century North Carolina
1940s Britain
18th century Scotland

Starz
Like Claire, would you risk it all for love, or would you rather stay married to Frank?
Of course I'd risk it all for Jamie!
The thing is, Frank can get it.
I'd never leave my child behind in order to be with my lover.
Jamie is cuter than Frank, but I'm also terrified of time travel.
Starz
What's the worst "Outlander" plot?
Anything involving a printing press
Aunt Jocasta and River Run
The Culloden stuff was really depressing.
Any time Bree and Roger fight instead of communicating
Starz
In your opinion, which female "Outlander" character has the most leadership skills?
Claire
Jenny
Brianna
Geillis

Starz
What's better: "Outlander" the show or "Outlander" the novel series?
The novel series!
I like them both equally.
The show
They both go downhill after the first book/first season.
Starz
Is Jamie almost TOO good?
No. I'm convinced that someday, I'll meet a guy who's just as wonderful.
He's a little bit overly perfect, but that's why I love him.
Who cares? It's a TV show, not real life.
Yes. He's 100% unrealistic.
