“Stranded in the past with some obvious chemistry with a red-headed Highlander sounds like enough of a plot for most shows (wasn’t that all that Jon Snow did for half of a season of Game of Thrones?) but not Outlander. Rather than just build up the relationship with a couple of throwaway plot moments, the series makes sure to give us plenty of scenes of Claire getting to know the rest of the castle, passing the Bechdel test along the way and getting Angus, of all people, to become our favourite. By the time she was on the road with Dougal & Co. she had buddies all over the place, not just a boyfriend.”
