Yes, but I still tear up at certain scenes. Like when Jamie says goodbye to Rupert. @SamHeughan gives a heart breaking performance #AskMaril https://t.co/JsCgbCS5pz

Hmmm. Jamie's goodbye to Rupert. Jamie/Jack fight. Brianna's birth #AskMaril https://t.co/V9wvbRpvFa

Normally you film 1&2, 3&4 ,etc., But sometimes, due to avail, you have to mix it up. Like we filmed ep. 2 and ep. 8 together 😱 #AskMaril https://t.co/p4lDVAbWLz

I wish!I'd love to film in the US, but not going to happen. Plus, we'd have to leave behind our Scottish crew and we love them #AskMAril https://t.co/fz5kO0d8Go
