So, did you make it through the holidays all right? Are you ready for 2014, now that we’re fully into it? We here at SciFi Mafia hope that all your dreams, fantastical or not, come true this year. Joining us in the good wishes are the lovely folk from Ronald D. Moore‘s upcoming time travel series Outlander:

Featurette: Outlander – Happy New Year from Outlander

Okay, okay, here’s what you Outlander-the-book-series fans are looking for. It’s the first pic of Claire and Jamie together, and it’s lovely:

In other Outlander news, Simon Callow has been cast as the Duke of Sandringham, and I’m hoping it’s a nice juicy part, he’s a wonderful actor. He’s been in many terrific projects over the years, but Doctor Who fans know him as Charles Dickens from “The Unquiet Dead”, an early Rose and Ninth Doctor episode, and from his cameo in “The Wedding of River Song”, when time went all wonky.

And finally, last month we had our first lesson in how to speak Outlander; now we have our second:
