Well Sassenachs, we did it! Another Droughtlander down! And now to settle in for 12 more episodes! No doubt, episode 301 gave us all the feels!
Caitriona Balfe (Claire) celebrated the premiere with a light-hearted live Tweet session. Read below for behind-the-scenes nuggets (like how she actually wacked Tobias Menzies (Frank Randall) with the Pyrex ash tray, OUCH!) and her insights on what’s to come.
(Five more sleeps until episode 302!)
Ready?????

@caitrionambalfe I think Claire misses the 1700… the 1940 are to much technology for her #OutlanderPremiere

@caitrionambalfe do you really think Claire tried to forget? Or just keeping her promise? Doesn't seem possible to me #OutlanderPremiere
— Victoria Frogoni (@vito_frogoni) September 11, 2017
Forget Jamie ??? Never. But she believes he is dead and so she tries to forge a new life and honour her promise to Frank #OutlanderPremiere https://t.co/BXQBIi2d5P

@caitrionambalfe you have very good aim. Did it take you many takes to get that ashtray close to @TobiasMenzies head. #OutlanderPremiere pic.twitter.com/rLFTcb1Wa0
— Jamie and Claire (@jamie_sassenach) September 11, 2017
I think this was only one take. As Tobias got injured and then we had to stop filming. #outlanderpremiere https://t.co/AIdOHZi67v
