Claires finally back in 18th-century Scotland!
And then she gets a carriage or a boat and she makes her way to Edinburgh.
Thats a lot of story.

So we decided we might save [the stones] for another time.
Weve seen her go through three different times.
Do you ever question Diana Gabaldons rules of travel?

You cant take 20th century things back through time!Yes, exactly.
And at the end ofTerminator, they had to get naked to go through the [time portal].
So yes, I think everybodys rules are slightly different.

Thats very much reminiscent of what we did in season 1 with Claire thinking of her jazz music.
We also used Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.
Was Roger a fan ofDark Shadowsin Diana Gabaldons books?No.
Jason Bell/Starz
Thats kind of why we used theBatmantheme.
We made Roger into a TV fan.
That was something that we threw in a little later into what turned out to be a Christmas episode.
It wasnt originally a Christmas episode.
Because that meanteveryscene had to be Christmas.
He said, Yeah, wed love to do that.
So, they started decorating.
That was literally like Christmas for them.
They decorated the hospital.
They decorated their streets.
Lets talk about the end when Claire sees Jamie.
Definitely ato-be-continuedmoment!Its not just Claires story.
Its Jamie and Claires story.
We wanted to show both perspectives.
In the book you get it from Claires view.
What I wanted to do when I wrote 6 was give Jamies POV of the same moment.
I wanted to give the fans the moment twice.
Theyve been waiting for for a long time.
Then we will start 6 as Jamies day.
We see all of Jamies perspective.
We thought that would be kind of special.
What was he doing?
And the fans kind of blew up on it and were like, Youre changing it!
Youre going ruin it!
And I got a big chuckle out of that because I knew what I was doing.
I was kind offering them up because I knew what I was going to later give them.
Hopefully theyll enjoy it.
But that was the plan all along.
