outlander_forum | Roger Fans! Interview with Richard Rankin (Reply)

Here's a very nice interview with Richard Rankin from Parade.

When Claire tells her story about time travel, Roger believes it before Brianna. Why do you think Roger believes it?

No, he doesn’t. No he doesn’t, he doesn’t believe it. I think Roger is the kind of guy that keeps an open mind even in the face of impossibility. I think he’s the kind of guy that really gives people a lot of time and the benefit of the doubt. I don’t think he believed Claire at first. Roger’s an academic, he’s an historian, at that point in time I don’t think he believed that it was technically possible.
