OUTLANDER: *SHOCKING PROOF* FRANK RANDALL WAS A TT* ! (*Time Traveller)

Hold onto your pantyhose ladies...Fraaaaaak! was a Time Traveller, just like Claire!

Undisputed evidence leaves NO doubt that our favorite British hubbypoo, Professor of History, MI6 Agent, Tabletop TongueTango Grand Master and Fedora-rockin' trench coat hottie, was able to skip through Time and share his craggy good looks and ovary melting baritone across the centuries.

Whether or not you are #TeamFrank, one cannot argue with Fact.

Years of research has uncovered the following previously unknown ORIGINAL artwork etc...which...well... explains a LOT: *click on pic to enlarge

*ceased cover; one copy in existence:

...and finally, something SO obvious that it needs no explanation:

Nuff said.

OUTLANDER SEASON 3: 5 SURPRISE FACTS THAT DIANA DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW!

Diana Gabaldon is not only a brilliant author, popular speaker and lover of kilts, she is also a sharp-minded businesswoman.

She KNOWS what sells, what doesn't, what hurts a business and what shoots it to the Starz. The following 5, never seen before pictures and revelations, are proof of her business savvy, how she protects her franchise and why she needs wine. Lots of wine. I'm talking a CLAIRE-LIKE need for the happy juice!

What you will read next will boggle your mind, shock you to the core and make you question your religion ... but I swear it is as real as any report of Elvis being seen riding a mongoose in a WalMart. Cross my heart.


1) STARZ DEMANDED THAT THE CAST AID IN THE MAKE-UP DEPARTMENT'S JOB OF AGING THEM FOR SEASON 3 (AND ONWARD), BY FORCING THEM TO GAIN WEIGHT, AS ONE TENDS TO DO WHILST AGING....(like I sure in the hell did *sigh*)

Diana, however, upon returning from Brazil (click here to read about THAT scandal!) make a spot-on assessment of the situation and convinced Ron that although they were all still handsome/beautiful people and that Jamie's chubby knees were still porn-able, the physiques didn't quite match their book counterparts, and everyone should return to the Pre-McDonalds era shape a.s.a.p.... and just give them some wrinkles and grey streaks. I think it was a good call. (sorry for any offense given, but I figure as long as my ass doesn't fit into a dental chair and it needs an extra engine brought in to go up, I can joke and tease all I want. *grin*)

*You will then see the main characters remain youthfully slim with Crypt Keeper faces further down the road...

2) DIANA BOUGHT MAJORITY STOCKS IN 2 COMPANIES PRE-SEASON 3

A) WHITE GLOVES:

It is expected that white gloves sales will skyrocket after this episode, which we see here in a picture taken on set during a break in filming, where we see Caitriona and Tobias applaud Diana's unveiling her new online shop 'GLOVELANDER'. To order, call 1-800-CLAIRE-PAIR.

B) BLACK HALF-RIM VINTAGE GLASSES:

Jamie may have exploded ovaries worldwide, but Frank will make them weep with wanting when the female Outlander Fandom sees him in FULL ON HOT PROFESSOR MODE! Move over sexy-secretary-stripper-in-pencil-skirts-and-black-rimmed-glasses...the sexy-bespectacled-historian-who-is-calm-on-the-outside-but-a-wild-coitus-machine-on-the-inside 'look' has taken the spotlight! The picture above shows Frank and Claire in a moment of blissful happiness...and it is easy to see why. This is what Claire had to be thinking...

Diana was quick to seize the opportunity to make a smart business move and she bought up all these special types of men's glasses in the USA, Canada and the UK and opened an online shop called 'LENSLANDER'. To order your pair(s), call: 1-800-HOT-PROF-XXX

3) DIANA HANDCRAFTED A NEWBORN BABY DOLL WITH RED HAIR

Knowing that this womb-crunching, heart-melting scene where Brianna is born, might drive women to either hug their husbands to the point of breaking their ribs, or see them grabbing their teenagers out of their beds and squeezing them to their breast while wailing mournfully into the night, "NEVER LEAVE YOUR MAMA!"... Diana built a doll factory in Yuma, Michigan that she has dubbed 'DOLLANDER INC.' to manufacture the doll she created by hand over a glass of Merlot one breakfast, and the first baby doll out will be 'BabyBree' that is small enough to carry in your pocket for convenience, ready to snuggle at a moment's notice, but strong enough to handle the most crushing 'I Want Frank's Baby!' hug.

4) DIANA OWNS EVERY PUB THAT HOSTS OUTLANDER CHARITY NIGHTS

LONDON: JAN-FEB

PARIS: MARCH-APRIL

USA: MAY-JUNE

GLASGOW: JULY-AUG

GERMANY:SEPT-OCT

CANADA: NOV-DEC

If you looked in the dictionary under the phrase 'Charitable Soul', you would find Diana's picture (and one of a Salvation Army shoe repair shop in Uganda...but just ignore that) and the Chalk Billboards (above), found in streets in cities around the world are proof of it. 10's of millions of dollars are raised yearly, which Diana gives 100% to her charity MARK-ME-LANDERS ANONYMOUS, which provides free medicine and free psychiatric care (as well as funding self-help group events) to the myriad fans who suffered tragically from hearing 'Mark me' uttered every 3 seconds from Bonnie Prince Charlie in Season 2. It is headed by close confidant of Diana's named ...believe it or not... Marcus Mee of Groundstock, New Hampshire. Truth is stranger than fiction!

*The actors are under contract to attend these charity drives but do so willingly and happily.

5) DIANA STYMIED ALL OF RON MOORES EFFORTS TO HAVE THE CAST INVADED BY 'BODY SNATCHERS' AND FLOWN TO MARS, EVEN AFTER HE SHOT THE FIRST SEGMENT SCENES. THESE PICTURES WERE LEAKED FROM THE FAUCETS AT THE STARZ STUDIOS:

Let us pray:

Thank you Lord for being Kind

To Fans of this great Tale

You knew that this would Blow our Mind

This Dumb Ass Alien Fail.

Amen.

*oh...and thanks for Diana too.

Frank Randall has been FacePaged.

And I did it.

Myriad pages and groups are dedicated to Jamie Fraser and may the Good Lord lovem'...he's a sweetie, but where is the Frank love? The most complex and mysterious of all Outlander characters, Frank is, I believe, the unsung hero, the tragic hero in this epic story that we all love and hold dear. And I adore him, especially after Tobias Menzies made him come to life in the most stunningly poignant way on Starz: I was hooked after that.

10 CLEVER OUTLANDER S3 'SEIZING THE MOMENT' MOMENTS! *SPOILERS*

Whether you agree with how the Outlander novels have been adapted to the show, you have to give Starz and director Ron Moore credit for adapting to The Moment. Translating a scene from page to screen is difficult at best, but being creative and spontaneous has helped Moore and company make their vision/version an 'on-budget' reality that entertains. No small feat.

Here are 10 'Seizing The Moment' moments that are clever and worthy of tipping of our hats: as always, click pic to enlarge

1) Sam's Obsession With Pokémon Go.

Original footage

CGI removed SmartPhone for final cut

It is well known on set that actor Sam Heughan has an almost debilitating need to play Pokémon Go. So, when it came time to shoot the fight scene with Tobias Menzies (Black Jack Randall), Moore secretly directed Tobias grabbed Sam's SmartPhone and slide it in his belt, taunting Sam with never intending to give it back. The results of this masterstroke of genius will be seen on the screen by all, very soon

2) The Outlander Crew Parties are Legend. And on Film...sorta.

If you look closely at this shot of Claire walking through the battlefield, you will see she has actually been added in with CGI technology. The infamous cast and crew PTYP parties(Party Till You Puke) made a cost efficient battlefield scene for Moore as he simply waited until nightfall after a long days shooting, and filmed the crew passed out all over the field behind the trailers where they live while working. As they habitually dress up in Outlander costumes while drinking (everyone wants to wear a kilt), Moore didn't have to worry about the 'bodies' looking out of their era.

Anyone found asleep in their chairs were gently placed in a supine or prone position on the ground and all bottles were carefully replaced with a soft, fake sword. (*early use of real swords proved rather dangerous and resulted in too many cut lips)

3) Outlander Book Fans Never Clean Their Houses.

In scene like the one above with Bree and Roger wading through a messy pile of junk and old Must Keeps, Starz saves on location fees and set design by running contests for fans with the messiest homes, wherein the winner gets to have their room made into a set for the day/week for filming. Book fans (and many show fans who re-watch episodes every day on a loop for hours on end) are famous for not having time to both do housecleaning AND being an Outlander fan, so they can now try and be a part of Outlander history.

If you want to enter the 'HOUSEKEEPING SUCKS SASSENACH!' contests, call toll free, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. here: 1-800-JAMIE-AWAITS


4) Ron Moore Based Much of Season 3 on 'Scottish Ninjas'.

It's his favorite cartoon. Nuff said.


5) Tobias Hates Fruit. (except one: see why here: peaches #8)

Pre CGI manipulation

Post CGI manipulation

When an unsuspecting extra brought Tobias a fruit bowl at break, Moore caught Tobias' furious reaction and used CGI technology to remove the fruit for the gloriously explosive  scene.

No extras and only one apple was hurt during this scene.


6) Professional Make-up Artists are Very Expensive, So They are Not Hired.

Wherever battle/crowd filming is taking place, ads are placed in local papers asking for artists and fans with painting/make-up skills to apply for the chance to 'Paint Sam' (or Paint Graham, or Paint Tobias, etc...as is needed). Typically, there are between 80 to 3380 applicants, depending on the size of the village/town/city on or near the shooting location. Only three are hired per location and they only have to pay Starz $20.00 per hour each for the privilege (note: painting Sam costs the lucky artist $20.00 per hour but is less as one goes down the cast list, $2.50 being the lowest for painting anonymous clansmen. *FACT: nobody is allowed to paint Tobias as Black Jack, after one woman tried to stab him in the eye with a eyebrow pencil. He does his own make up now.

7) Hate Can Be Profitable. And Pretty.

To ease the escalating cost of production, there is a new line of 'OUTLANDER FUCK THEM JEWELRY out for passionate fans:

There is an extra large batch of Fuck Leghair necklaces being made to accommodate the expected influx of orders from the awesome Outlander Series group I am admin of on FaceBook (come join us...click here). We do hate us some Leghair...

8) Pictures are Worth a Thousand Words, and Perhaps Millions of Dollars.

I am NOT saying this was leaked from a safe at Starz headquarters.

I am NOT saying Raymond Einstein is real.

I am NOT saying Diana actually wrote a non-fiction.

I am NOT saying that this could be Top Secret info that could get me in trouble.

I ain't sayin' shit.

9) Learning Gaelic by Osmosis

It is a proven fact that babies can learn a language by simply being around it for large periods of time, so, as a bonus to any paid worker on the Outlander sets, their babies (newborn to 9 months) are allowed to sit in their prams (as seen here in a season 3 still in Glasgow, Scotland) and soak in the language...literally.

To date, no less than 7 OB (Outlander Babies) are fluent in Gaelic after 2 seasons worth of on-set live Gaelic osmosis. However, 1 wee lad cannot speak any English at all now, so he is being planted on the set of Game of Thrones.

10) Time Travel stories can Have Awfully Flexible TimeLines and Potential for OffShoot Stories. #sponsormoney

Caitriona Balfe is a good actress with a face and temperament made for adventure. Why not take advantage of it? These pictures are the newly released 'prequels' to Outlander called 'BEFORE JAMIE: Claire's Adventures Before She Finally Hit Scotland'. They are 15 minute segments that will be seen just after The Skyboat Song and just before the episode of the hour. These are a few of them...
