And, there was also this about that blooper scene with the burp, or the... whatever it was...
More good-natured ribbing ensued when Cait was asked and answered this:
Not to be outdone, Mr. Steven Cree -- who appears to have a lot of time on his hands lately -- joined the conversation.
Banter then continued between Sam and Steven, which was hilarious.
And, then there was the re-visiting of Sam's obsession with Caitriona's prosthetic baby bump.
Cait wrapped up with some words of wisdom I think we can all take to heart, especially given the times in which we live.
All in all a VERY entertaining outing with Outlander Fans today on Twitter. I'll call it "Twitter for Good" just so we can distinguish between this and all the bad stuff on the Twitterverse of late. And couldn't we all use a little more light-hearted and good?
You can follow Caitriona Balfe on Twitter here. And you should because, well, she's Cait.
Caitriona Balfe served up a whopper of a Q&A on Twitter today. She promised to do so when she reached 200,000 followers on Twitter, and keep that promise she did! For more than an hour, Caitriona generously answered questions from eager Outlander fans and was joined by a few other cast members. Gee, I wonder who? Check out some of the more interesting questions (and answers) below...
Dislaimer: it was an hour-long, people, so picking out the best bits is tough… and apparently someone (ahem, that someone) was getting a wee restless for Caitriona to start.
Here are a few other nuggets from the chat, once Caitriona got underway.
Q. What is your spirit animal?
Caitriona: I had a dream once it was a bear…so sticking with that.

Q. Do you have a technique for memorizing your lines?
Caitriona: I like to write them out.
Q. What is your favourite place or restaurant/bar in Glasgow?
Caitriona: If I tell you, I’ll never get a table

.@heyheykatiemae@SamHeughan that want a burp ! What??? It was more likely A Sam being v heavy and making me groan (ahem) or a snort laugh— Caitriona Balfe (@caitrionambalfe) October 26, 2016

.@MrStevenCree I think the single occurance that created @SamHeughan is probably more than I could ask for in one lifetime #AskCait— Caitriona Balfe (@caitrionambalfe) October 26, 2016

@caitrionambalfe@MrStevenCree honestly. Steve may be more than anyone can handle...— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) October 26, 2016

Did you have a chance to ask Caitriona a question today during #AskCait? If so, what was your favorite answer she gave?
