So let's talk about season 4, you guys are in America.
- Uhum.
What I really responded to..
There's a season, where you go to the landowner..
And you guys discuss.. I don't want to give too much away.
But I like the kind of political edge.
That this season is kind of, already going for.
Is that something, that appeals to you, guys, with the scripts? And do you have any say in that?
Uhm.. I mean, definitely. I think that's one of the great parts of our show.
You know, this, obviously, was based on the books by Diana Gabaldon.
And she has managed to weave these real historical events so well through out fictional story...
And it's great for us, I mean..
I, probably, didn't study enough of my history in school, so
(Laughs) I get to do over.
And learn all about history through the show.
Which is quite nice.
- Yeah, we're definitely dealing with history here.
And I think, you know, it is interesting...
It's the British again, and we're dealing with them, and there's this battle and Great War on horizon, and..
Jamie and Claire certainly do some deals to gain land.
But yeah, you're right, it was not something we were taught in the school, so..
Every day is a new lesson.
- (Chuckles) Yeah.
- I feel like we constantly learn from our history.
We constantly learn, that..
Wait, wait, maybe we don't know everything we should've known!
And I think this show, the beauty of this show, is you kind of..
experience this through fresh eyes with your characters.
- Yeah.
Well, what we're exploring this season is the beginning of what America today is.
This is the story of an immigrant family, coming to a new land.
You know, there is this idea, that they're frontiersmen, or, that they're settlers.
But obviously, this land was already settled, and..
There were people, that were already there, and..
Coming as disenfranchised people from one land to another land
and then participating in some way in that same process is real, uhm..
I don't know, it's quite a challenge for both of these characters to..
to accept that. Or to figure out, how they do it in respectful way.
I mean, it's so nice, when you see the bond, that Jamie and Claire form with their Cherokee neighbours.
Uhm, that was really.. That was a really lovely element of the season, I think.
Disenfranchised though, you say there is.. you know, in a way Jamie is, you know..
He's a man of his time and he is.. you know..
Dealing with learning about the history and.. how America is gonna become, and...
And trying to, sort of, help mold America into the land that it could be...
And Claire is from the future, and does have this..
More of a.. uhm..
- Prescient notion. - Prescient notion, yeah.
But it's interesting to see him learn.
And for them to work together, to help, kind of, mold this land.
- Well, I also love what you do with this character.
You give him a real sense of humanity.
Which, I think a lot of times, you think of that, the Highlanders..
you don't think of that kind level of sense either.
And I think that's because of the connection with you?
- Connection with Claire.. but you know, he is a...
He's had a lot of experience, and there's definitely a parallel between...
you know, the Highlanders and what happened to them, and...
And.. this all parallels in America of that time, and the native Americans, and..
So Jamie has a, sort of, almost an understanding with them after a while, and..
Or.. there's definitely a bond between them.
But yeah, it's interesting, the parallels that are drawn there.
I think it's their relationship, that gets them through it.
- Yeah, and the.. I mean, the chemistry is insane.
After four seasons, is it still easy to just jump into these two? And..
(Burst it laughter)
- The ol' chemistry, eh? - (Laughing)
- Best looking couple on TV, come on! (Laughs) - Oh, God.. I know..
- No, but you know, what so nice I think is..
After four seasons Sam and I have such a strong bond anyway as friends.
(Ahem)
And now we can't stand each other!
- (Laughing) - No, but it's..
It's really nice, and I think we both have grown into these characters.
But at the same point, I think it's always really nice..
Every new season we get to explore the new sights of them.
And get to continue to be surprised and..
Challenged by the things that come our way, so...
It's a great job and I think we both feel very lucky.
- And I think, this season, actually, in a way they are..
- They are more together as a unit. - Uhums.
- They are more a team. They always have been.
But there's always been a lot of.. sort of..
Tension between them, and you know, will-they-won't-they be together.
And now they finally are.
And it's quite a strong bond, that helps them.
And gives them, you know.. This aid to build this land and help create a new world for themselves.
