One of the most talked about episodes in Outlander history is The Wedding from Season 1, but Moore didn’t love the first edit, so they shot it again:

I wasn’t happy with the wedding scene from S1, so we did it again. Ultimately, it’s my fault if something wasn’t done right the first time. https://t.co/uLRrrESfSw

The Frasers are about to embark on a treacherous adventure at sea to rescue Young Ian and the ships used are from another show: Black Sails!

Nothing on the actual ocean. We used the Black Sails ships, and some are in water tanks. https://t.co/NwlliIl4RW

Fans were not happy about Jamie and Laoghaire’s marriage, but Moore stood behind the story line.

There had always been a little chemistry there, remember him in S1. Also, once Claire seemed to forgive her in S2 it allowed him to as well https://t.co/gQAAq5ddr6
