Cover Meme by @drinklander
On October 15th, Saeed Jones was home sick from work and decided to watch and live tweet the first season of Outlander. Who is Saeed Jones, you ask? According to Wikipedia, he’s an American poet whose debut collection Prelude to a Bruise was named a 2014 finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry, and he is executive editor for culture at Buzzfeed.
Saeed cohosts a Buzzfeed News live morning show on Twitter, which aired for the first time last September (2017), and is gaining a massive following for its relaxed, authentic, humorous approach. They cover what’s happening in the world, and interact with followers regularly. In fact, Saeed’s hilarious live tweet of Season 1 of Outlander has earned the show (Am2DM) an interview with Sam, Richard, and Sophie (not sure why no Caitriona), which is scheduled to take place on Halloween (October 31st), here in the States.
So, here’s the tea: On Wednesday, 10/31, I’ll have a sit-down interview with Sam Heughan, Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin from #Outlander on @AM2DM. I’m very excited and still a bit stunned as to how all of this has come about. #KiltDaddy

Here’s how it all happened; prepare to be extremely entertained…
I will issue this warning… Foul language and vulgarity ahead, if that’s not your thing, turn back now! If you’re OK with that, proceed, and prepare to laugh, as Saeed succinctly and (ahem) gaily, recaps our beloved Outlander…
Well, now I’m watching #Outlander for the first time. Being sick is great for catching up on TV shows.

This lady is giving me Cate Blanchett and I live. Also, I’ve always wanted to have sex on top of an ancient ruin.

Whew. These white people be fucking.

OMG, Frank in the past is not Frank. OMG. (Y’all, I know basically nothing about this series except that many women I stan for love it and now I AM SHOOK.)

Is it the cold medicine or am I accurate in my assessment that Dougal is hot? (Not as hot as dude with the broken arm, but hot.)

OH SHIT. He’s got a red coat?! Is this nigga British?! Claire, girl, SHIT IS ABOUT TO POP OFF and you out here arguing about goats.
— Saeed Jones (@theferocity) October 16, 2018
UPDATE: Dougal is definitely hot, but he’s also really mean! Hmph. He’s mean to Jamie. He’s mean to goats! He’s mean to Claire. HMPH.
— Saeed Jones (@theferocity) October 16, 2018
My mentions are FULL of #Outlander fans saying “you think the fucking is hot now? Just wait until later in the season.” Y’all some freaks. And I love it.

This flogging scene is one of the most graphically disturbing things I’ve ever watched.

I AGREE SAEED!!!! ??
DID RANDALL JUST SAY “IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I’VE EVER SEEN”?! Y’all I just stood up in my living room.

I’m too far gone. Fuck around and got invested in these white people. My fate is sealed. #Outlander https://t.co/TmVbcHboYg
— Saeed Jones (@theferocity) October 16, 2018
The fact that Claire hasn’t run out of that room screaming is all the proof I need to know that she’s either the baddest bitch alive or out of her damn mind. This Randall nigga is the antichrist’s ex-boyfriend.

Jamie walking around in just his undershirt is… what we all deserve in these troubled times.

I’m on episode seven. Jamie and Claire just had sex for the first time. And now there are a bunch of flashbacks happening for some reason? https://t.co/9zGKPY8j0a

I STAN JENNY and hate that sexual violence is literally our introduction to her. Like, damn.

Jenny is not the one. She’s not here for Randall’s bullshit or Jamie’s bullshit or Claire’s bullshit.

Gosh, when Jamie is a good husband he is a GOOD HUSBAND.
— Saeed Jones (@theferocity) October 18, 2018
I keep thinking about how far we’ve come in medicine and technology and how, even in the United States, childbirth is still only marginally safer for mothers than it was for women like Jenny. So fucked up.

(I’m going to keep live-tweeted but I’ve muted this thread for myself. It’s weird watching something that’s obviously intense and having people yelling “THIS IS SO INTENSE. Get ready!” Yeah, girl. I know. It’s… intense and awful.)

It’s of note to me — as a gay man — that thus far on #Outlander, in a landscape riddled with straight men who are rapists and murders, two of the most formidable and heinous villains (Randall and the Duke) on the show are men who are attracted to men. Just an observation.
— Saeed Jones (@theferocity) October 18, 2018
Claire, how in the hell did you think THAT was going to work out in your favor?! (I’ve yelled that many times and I will keep yelling it.)

Maybe I’ve just become desensitized or maybe have read waaaaay too much about the history of lynching in America but episode 15 — while horrifying — wasn’t as egregiously heinous as it very much COULD have been. The show runners are so good.

But as Taylor Swift says “vote on November 6th!” and “Are we out of the woods yet, are we out of the woods yet?” No! Because it’s time to watch episode 16.

??? THANK YOU.
Thank you for my morning giggles and laugh out louds!! You got Cait and Tobias interested in your tweets! #highfuckingfive I look forward to seeing more 🙂 Wait til you see the end of season two….
I enjoyed this while it was happening. Thank you for having it in perfect order for me to enjoy again. Saeed Jones is brilliant! I hope everyone enjoyed it as it was intended. Mr. Jones just helped Outlander to get higher ratings. Bless him?
Love it!! From Saeed to Connie Versacks (sp/=? – new last name, never can remember) … this show brings out the best of the best!!
How wonderful! Thank you so much for posting it. I’m still laughing. No wonder Cait Tobias and Herself have tweeted him. More Please.
this was FABULOUS as it unfolded! We begged Saeed to put the thread into book form and publish it. He’s a fresh voice and quite a welcome one in our insane atm world.
I have been following him and love the narrative. Says it how it is ?
He is using language that Diana had more or less used in the book at some point.
This is both insightful and hilarious. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for posting! I only caught some of it earlier this week. This guy’s a riot! I hope I can see his Halloween interview somehow! I also look forward to his Season 2 tweets.
Quite a different viewpoint.
Hysterical….I needed a good laugh today.
Was there any postings from season 2? I loved this!
Not that I know of!
