MISSING LINKS - "OUTLANDER" & "DANIEL BOONE"

‘OUTLANDER’
“THE BIRDS AND THE BEES”

Reunited with their daughter in the past, Jamie and Claire took Brianna to the high point of Fraser’s Ridge in order to show her the magnificent view.  It made her think of Daniel Boone and she explained to her father that Boone was a famous pioneer in history – even though technically he was of the Here and Now.

I don’t think we’re going to be meeting Daniel Boone in the series.  I haven’t read the books, but I don’t think he showed up in that either.  But we’ll see.  (I know we will – maybe – be seeing American literature’s first fictional hero character, Natty Bumppo by the eighth season.  He showed up in the eighth novel.) 

I’m actually hoping we don’t get to meet Daniel Boone during the course of ‘Outlander’.  For the main Toobworld, Daniel Boone should look just like actor Fess Parker.  So I would prefer to think that Fess Parker’s portrayal of Boone is out there in the world of ‘Outlander’.

But should he eventually appear, O’Bviously played by some other actor, we can fall back on the same splainin which already had to be employed for the appearance of George Washington this season.  The difference in looks, aside from the Trueniverse splainin of recastaways, would be attributed to the perspective of the person who is viewing him.  In this case we’re seeing him from Claire’s perspective, (which is the one they stayed with for the rest of the episode, even when we were now seeing him with Jamie.)

Hopefully, Natty Bumppo does make the cut and shows up in the series!

BCnU!
