Bloody hell! Ron Moore jumped on twitter following the premiere of Outlander Episode 106: THE GARRISON COMMANDER and answered our questions. I planned to include these in my review, but I decided to keep them separate for the sake of length.
If you missed the Executive Producer’s witty banter with the fans, I present all his tweets below for your enjoyment. You’ll see my name pop up more than once. So, Yay and Cheers!
Lion's share of the credit for tonight's episode goes to Ira Behr's script. Been learning from Ira for 25 years now and still learning.

@Candida_LN Ira's idea. Deliciously evil and just plain wrong.
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@tjk427 Yes, and you actually saw Brian in the crowd tonight.

@OutlanderTVNews Don't recall, might be in script or improv.

@charisepayne Big prosthetic piece with small tubes to pump the blood. Some minor digital clean up, mostly our makeup dept gets the credit

@Candida_LN Something we came up with in writers room. Liked the idea of Jack's POV rather than Jamie's

@athena606 That's the plan

@cltcmistress Hard on actors and crew. They're in it for hours.
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@eve4c @Outlander_Starz I did that on purpose as a small reminder of the tie between Jack & Frank.
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@allthingsHHH @Outlander_Starz I think so… That's a good thing, right….?
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@TMarieJ1994 Nope, I'll leave that for you to puzzle out

@M_another_M That won't last… but it's nice while it does.

@Kathielarsyn @OutlanderTVNews We made our choice and I'm proud of it. (Your mileage may vary.)

@dalimberly It's always a judgement call, similar to any other show that I run: trust your gut and hope for the best.

@debrabeagle Wedding? What wedding? Who said she's gonna say yes……?
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@justforfundd That was an inspired touch from my post production producer, Elicia Bessette, who is absolutely the best.

@JuliePewe I talk about this in podcast but basically it was such a memorable part of book it deserved to be more than couple of pages.
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@debrabeagle Yes, but WHOSE?
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@sinmck @Candida_LN It's an old Jedi mind trick — jeez, read the book, why don't you?
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@Siddalee33 No, just a question of how long to linger on any given shot.
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@BethHolme @Candida_LN Ya think?

@JenniferStigge You cannot imagine what bad luck you just brought upon me. Cleanse yourself with a marathon viewing of Sopranos.

@scottebaker You are so wise

@BAWrites Oh, yes….. the boy has much to learn….

@M_another_M I think he's on the mend
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@lolelizg Ira I think. But definitely came out of break session with the writers who all contributed to this and every episode.
— Ronald D. Moore (@RonDMoore) September 14, 2014
@Candida_LN No movies, no TV, what else are you gonna do on a Sat night in Ft Wiliam in the 18th century?

I love that the actors, writers, producers, author, etc. are so willing to connect with the fans of Outlander and so willing to share with us their observations and personal thoughts. It makes the entire experience so much richer. This show is simply astounding in scope, scale, character development and cinematography. The best show I have ever seen on television bar none. #Outlander

Best Twitter chat yet. I must find out more about Ira Behr. I thought the script for episode 106 was brilliant. And Tobias! Wow, what a performance. Cait was pretty terrific, too. Kudos to the make-up and FX teams. I could barely make myself look at Jamie’s back during the flogging. My heart broke for Jamie. 😦
Love all yer pictures for this episode!! I think Brian Fraser was the tall man behind that Doogal that looked down remember the McKenzie’s & Fraser’s didn’t get along all that well but you already knew that I bet. Can’t wait for your pictures from The Wedding. Gotta say this was so hard to watch all of it. I really hate Black Jack Radall so much!! Thank you again:-)
Even my husband could hardly stand to watch Jamie’s flogging when I tried to point out his father
I love Ron. He is funny and will remember to tease you. One gets so used to him NEVER EVER being on Twitter you forget to check on him. Will have to fix that. Can’t wait to see flashbacks of Brian Frazier. One never knows where Ron will put that scene.
