OUTLANDER ⇢ 1x02 | CASTLE LEOCH
If I was going to survive, I needed to acclimatize myself as quickly as possible. I knew where I was, but when? From the clothes and weapons alone, I knew it was most likely the 18th century. Scotland is definitely part of Great Britain. Seventeen forty-three, decades before the American revolution. England and France are at war again. One of the Hanover kings is on the throne. But which one? I did know something of this era- the politics, the people, their dress. Even some of their customs and colloquialisms were familiar. But it was all secondhand knowledge, acquired from books, museums, paintings. It was like landing on an alien world you'd only glimpsed through a telescope. But then you begin to wonder if maybe life on this alien world is not so different after all.
