New opening title sequence for Season 4!
As usual, they've changed the music somewhat, to give it a more Southern/Appalachian sort of feel. It's going to take a little time to get used to the singer's attempt at a Southern accent, but I'm really much more interested in the images.
The cabin looks perfect, very much as I've always imagined it! I laughed when I saw the Highland dancers. And I like the bath scene. <g>
The shot of the gorgeous North Carolina scenery at the end made me go, "Ooooohhhh!!" and immediately put me in a good mood. Then I looked closer, and what I saw made me like it even more! If you look really closely at the view of Fraser's Ridge at the end, you can make out Jamie and Claire in the center of the shot, looking out over the ridge, Jamie's arm around Claire, and Claire leaning in affectionately toward him. I like that a lot, as a sort of evolution of the famous shot of the two of them riding across the Scottish landscape from Season 1.
I'm interested to hear what the rest of you think of the new opening sequence.
