I had a free weekend of STARZ last weekend, and I ended up watching about four episodes of the Outlander marathon. Let’s not kid ourselves: this is not a great show. It’s fun, it’s bodice-ripping, it’s silly, and the story makes little to no sense. It’s not “good TV” but it’s watchable. That’s mainly due to the beautiful locations and chemistry between the two leads, Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe. They do have a lot of heat together, which is nice. Sam is very good at smoldering while saying some truly absurd lines.
Anyway, the second season premieres this weekend, and there was a big premiere event in NYC last night. Some of you have asked for more (or ANY) coverage of Sam Heughan, so here you go. I’m including lots of photos of Sam plus some pics of Caitriona (her name sounds like a cocktail) and “the other dude,” Tobias Menzies. Tobias plays the husband in 1945 and the bad guy/redcoat in the 19th century. Personally, I think Tobias is a stronger actor than Sam, but I’m guessing the ladies aren’t looking for world-class acting when they’re looking at Sam.
So, Sam Heughan: would you hit it? I would hit it… on the show. He really does smolder on the show. In real life? I don’t know. I’m not really feeling it in these photos.
