Writer/executive producer Matthew B. Roberts took to his own Twitter account after answering questions on the Outlander Writers Twitter account about episode 303. He answered questions not focused on the episode as well. The Outlander-related questions and answers are below.
Both. I picked 303 and wee one about the art of printing in th 18th century but most are assigned. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/O1CS1EkxNO

Wow… how did you miss the 200 lbs black-coated one in the opening scene? #OutlanderALN https://t.co/ymxogsjP0d

What's your definition of an Easter egg and all the others you speak for? Just so I know for the future. https://t.co/i53u1OTgSB

I say the books are the books and the TV show is the TV show. https://t.co/aiNhEZAsOE

An easter egg (on this show) is something slightly out of context that a book reader might notice and could appear in the future #tobeclear https://t.co/KxRwuvRgYT

Crazy huh? I typed a lot. Not sure what scenes will be included on the DVD's. https://t.co/WqpsgLdVYa

All will be revealed… vague enough for you? https://t.co/bwlgsHEbVw

When someone adds more minutes to an hour then we can add everything. 59 mins is our cut off. Trust me these are not easy decisions https://t.co/eRZvk456n5

Maybe… I could tell you everything but then what fun would that be? https://t.co/Sl1pQIBaYq

I hope not… we start pretty soon. So… https://t.co/8No4PyOk3w

We do 13 episodes a season. https://t.co/w0ouFopi2u
— Matthew B. Roberts (@TheMattBRoberts) September 26, 2017
We work on them as the season goes along. https://t.co/bLZf58ZW3X

Not that I know of. In the After Show chat I just speculated about a S5. They way it was edited just made it seem like we had one already https://t.co/Z4FPOoAa5v

Both… a writer is on set at all times. When a scene is blocked out sometimes the dialogue needs to be adjusted. https://t.co/AzAgwTtoav

I know this is a non answer — but I like them all for different reasons. https://t.co/Mwh5wGLD1a

It's like a test flight. To make sure it works — out loud https://t.co/Erlq67qx7l

This is without a doubt the toughest production I've ever worked on. But we have a tough cast and crew. https://t.co/XRA3I7oZFU
— Matthew B. Roberts (@TheMattBRoberts) September 26, 2017
A few of us did an overlap. Working on prepping S4 while we were also finishing S3. Writing, designing, building… etc. https://t.co/EWqEoUzmQH

Yes… but you'll have to wait to see it. https://t.co/XwHpgQkEnz

We have an amazing locations department that narrows down all the potential spots. Then we go out and looks those. https://t.co/zKqMXhtwLG

Pretty excited about seeing the Ridge. Well, I've seen it but I'm mean on screen. https://t.co/84DBBD0648

I actually think she would've gone with him. But then after being there, the bond & love for her mother would've pulled her home. https://t.co/yepMGrjazj

Remember we are working on scripts for the next season long before we read any comments about the shows that are airing now. #OutlanderALN https://t.co/JSMKIcZ1UO

Let me guess — you feel there should be zero differences between the book characters and the TV characters? https://t.co/nLM0NtZRIb

There are some amazing eps coming up written by #ToniGraphia — with some off the charts performances @Outlander_STARZ https://t.co/JAvj8f5vmd

So do I. https://t.co/p9le9v6VvI

I'm not sure yet. We are still working on the scripts. But one for sure! https://t.co/n7PxOKGctn

Yes they did… I'm not sure what will be included on the DVD's https://t.co/fM6P17DfHO

That would add many more months of filming and prep. More time on screen means more of everything to produce it. https://t.co/a2jHTTzWXS
— Matthew B. Roberts (@TheMattBRoberts) September 27, 2017
Not much, when in full prep I have a foot in Block 1, a foot in Block 2, & a foot in the writers room I need another foot and more hours https://t.co/AtSdltvag3

Many have said we are changing the books – so I referred back to my copies NOPE all the words are same. Nothing we do can change the books
