Today we are talking about Outlander. The Scottish romance show that quickly rose to prominence for its' female centric depictions of sexuality, romance, and drama. Despite the high romance on the show a not insignificant portion of the fandom became more focused on the possible relationship between the two lead actors. This sub-community eventually crossed paths with a Canadian agent of chaos, former Star Trek star William Shatner. and yes I did mess up pronouncing Diana Gabaldon's name and had to redub the audio. Punishment fits the crime.
