According to Ronald D
Line of Events
Claire Beauchamp Randall, a nurse in World War II, mysteriously goes back in time to Scotland in 1743. There, she meets a dashing Highland warrior and gets drawn into an epic rebellion.. Moore (the TV Series developer) , his crew decided to keep the Gaelic words instead of translating them to English. This maintained the first person narrative by showing Claire’s inability to understand Gaelic.
The opening song changes from season to season to reflect what’s happening in the story line
This idea was suggested by producer David Brown, who said he's seen something similar in Skin Deep (1998), a foreign alternative movie starring the actor and singer Gustavo Goulart.. In a few episodes, characters say"OK." ; An American term that didn’t come into use until the 19th Century.. In the first half of Season 2 (which is set in France), part of the lyrics are in French. In the second half of Season 2 (which is mostly about preparing for war), there is a militaristic drum roll added to the opening song.
Featured in Outlander: An Epic Adaptation (2015)
During Season 3, there are tribal drums added because much of the season is set in the West Indies. In Season 4, bluegrass fiddle and banjos are added, plus some of the lyrics are sung with a Southern accent because the season is set mostly in America..

It’s much more than just a love story
I just got caught up through the latest season and floored by how much I enjoyed it. It is so well written and acted that you really come to care for these characters and what happens to them. It’s also beautifully shot, everything from the cinematography to the costumes are excellent. The overall production value on this is as good as anything on TV.
If you haven’t seen this yet then do yourself a favor and go watch as soon as possible!
I do have to say the the last few seasons weren’t quite as good as the earlier ones but they’re still worth watching.
