This past week at SDCC, we caught a glimpse of sooooo much new geek to go crazy over! While I’ve never read more than a chapter or two from the Outlander book series by Diana Gabaldon, I’m fairly certain that when it comes to Starz on August 9th folks will go crazy for it too.The Outlander series is basically a very history laden story with a female protagonist (YAY!) who finds herself tossed back through time from the World War II era all the way back to the mid 18th century, specifically in Scotland during the Jacobite uprisings.
Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall in the Starz adaptation of the Diana Gabaldon best-selling Outlander series.
Whether it be the Star Trek Universe or any of the other shows that Mr. Moore has brought to television, I think it’s a safe bet to say that the new series Outlander will be another success for the gent.
Take a look at the trailer above and let us know in the comments what you think!

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
