- It's starting.
(gunshot blasting)
If only they knew what was coming.
- For someone who hasn't seen "Outlander,"
"Outlander" is what I call the epitome
of an epic love story.
You have a couple that,
I mean the logline is a World War II nurse
on her honeymoon touches these Druid stones
and travels 200 years back in time,
falls in love with a Highlander,
marries him, and then there's time travel.
There's action.
There's romance.
There's, oh, it's got everything,
but at the heart of "Outlander" it's the epic love story,
and the love stories, for me, never end.
- Claire is Claire Fraser, at this point.
She is a healer.
She is the matriarch of the Fraser family
who live in Fraser's Ridge.
She's a time traveler.
She experienced real trauma.
She was raped and attacked.
At the beginning of the season a few months have passed,
and really on the surface she's trying to
put a brave face on and continue life as normal,
but really underneath she's still suffering greatly.
- Brianna is the daughter of Jamie and Claire Fraser.
She is from the future and also a time traveler,
and she is now the wife of Roger MacKenzie,
and they have a kid together on the Ridge,
and they're just settling in the 1700s
and starting a new life there.
- Roger Wakefield MacKenzie is the son,
the adopted son of a minister.
He has traveled back from the 60s.
He was born in the 40s.
He's married to Brianna Ellen,
and they are settling quite nicely back in the 1700s,
just slightly prior to the American Revolution.
They enjoy growing cabbages, carrots, lettuces.
Is it lettuci?
- Fergus is so impacted by Jamie,
the Ridge, the life they live together.
When we finished season five,
he goes through this fight scene, battle scene,
trying to save Claire.
And this is super traumatic for him.
It's not a happy end for Fergus
what's happening with season five.
And we see him, season six, he's not doing well.
He's trying too much of his own whiskey.
And he's expecting that new kid
he's about to have with Marsali to save the day,
but it might really not actually.
It might transport him back to his childhood even more.
- She is with child.
- What?
- I think we find her, after the fallout of last season,
sort of very, again, intense,
tumultuous end to season five, and she killed a man.
I think she's dealing with the fallout of that
and also the strength in that
and that where she finds herself
and had to move forward from it.
Obviously pregnant, of course, again,
and she's having to deal with home,
and she's having to deal with Claire and the surgery
and being pregnant and the three kids
that they currently have as well as everything else.
She's like a real woman of her time.
And I think just trying to keep everything afloat.
- We talk a lot about what happens
when your home turns against you.
And it's funny, 'cause I think a lot of,
so much of what is happening today
in politics and elsewhere where,
it's like the first person who comes out
and says something and starts a rumor is often believed.
And the same thing we're seeing in "Outlander."
It's like, whoever's talking first,
getting that word out there,
that's what's going to be believed.
Things have not changed that much in 200 years.
And so we're seeing that happen on the Ridge,
that Jamie and Claire are suddenly
seen as outsiders on this home that they've started.
