sassenach1124: diggsydogsquee: gabysachs: auburncurlslass: BIRTH OF THE NARRATIVEWith the assistance of @mrsd79 I would like to share our concept as to how the narrative was conceived and why it’s still in place. This overview is based upon what was found through researching Tall Ships, STARZ and Lionsgate corporate information found on the Internet. It’s no secret and anyone, if they chose to, can find the information. ‘Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start.’1. RDM and Maril who are Tall Ships approach Diana Gabaldon and secure the rights to the Outlander series.2. Once Tall Ships had their business model in place, they approached STARZ with the idea. If you recall other’s had tried to push Outlander through a TV movie, Screen film movie, etc. All those concepts failed as it takes more than 2 hours to tell the Outlander story. RDM, an already known television producer. best known for his work on Star Trek; on the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica television series, for which he won a Peabody Award and an Emmy Award could easily pitch his ‘series’ to the Cable Network Executives. STARZ was on board.3. Tall Ships begin the process of securing a Studio in Scotland, hiring the writer’s, actor’s one of which already had a presence on a popular HBO TV series, Tobias Mendez who could potentially be the key for continued reassurance for STARZ and RDM’s project, Outlander. 4. Tall Ships nor STARZ had ‘Non Frat’ clauses in their contracts, a very important fact within this entire Narrative. 5. The STARZ/Lionsgate merger birthed the potentially ‘fly in the ointment’. Lionsgate has ‘Non Frat’ agreements within all their actor’s contracts. This is where the ‘fly in the ointment’, or problem for Sam/Caitriona occurs. According to what we believe to be true, in Ibiza Spain, Sam and Caitriona married in a civil ceremony on or close to October 1, 2015, plus she was pregnant with their first child. A marriage contract supersedes a ’Non Frat’ contract thus preventing Lionsgate implementing their ‘Non Frat’ clause into Sam and Caitriona new contracts. It’s not possible nor is it legal. Lionsgate ‘grandfathered’ both of their contracts and in doing this, Lionsgate had NO CONTROL over Sam and Caitriona’s personal life. (‘GRANDFATHERING’ - A grandfather clause, or legacy clause, is an exemption that allows persons or entities to continue with activities or operations that were approved before the implementation of new rules, regulations, or laws. Such allowances can be permanent, temporary, or instituted with limits.)6. So, given the above information, we believe that RDM, Albrecht and the “suit weasel”, Jon Feltheimer were all present with Sam and Caitriona in the surprise meeting the day after ‘Flirty Thursday’. Because of the inability to incorporate ‘Non Frat’ agreements into the actor’s new contracts with Lionsgate, the ‘suits’ chose another method, ‘control by the use of fear’. Per @mrsd79 blog post, Corporations in that industry use fear along with a contract when they want to control their assets. Sam and Caitriona being the ‘Assets’. Maybe there is a bit of a “punishment” element in Sam’s situation. Sam’s “suit weasel” has the reputation of doing things like that. 7. Jennifer Allen is a tool for the ‘suits’ as well, she was brought in by Chris Parnell as Sam’s Publicist and unfortunately is still his control freak, ‘thorn in the side’ nemesis. It’s our opinion she is not a fan of Caitriona and her facial expressions during the ‘Vanilla Ice Cream’ video are a testament to that fact. She was caught on camera mouthing ‘I cannot believe’ when Sam ordered Vanilla Ice Cream for Caitriona. It’s a shame, Sam can’t fire her….as I think she’s the enforcer of the “suit weasel’s” implemented ongoing punishment. In conclusion, this fandom is fractured, divided and unorganized. The ‘suits’ are solid, organized with legal teams that can and have done their due diligence, creating a draconian union of Sony/STARZ/Lionsgate. How will this deplorable, convoluted narrative end? In our opinion, the odds of the truth released is slim to nothing. Will they reveal their true relationship when the series ends, possibly but doubtful? Too much outward damage has been said, shown and implied. Their integrity is already tarnished, and both will appear as deceitful liars and con artists for their own gain. Do they care? I think so as no one wants to be known by those embarrassing, poor qualities. The situation is dismal and with that I feel it’s important to support this couple as fans without malice. Inwardly, we can be upset, angry and bitter without projecting outwardly. Brillant resume @auburncurlslass @mrsd79 Yes. This reiterates what we have thought for some time accept within a month or so Sam was announced as part of The Spy Who Dumped Me cast. Remember Sam had only had an Indie movie come his way at this point, that didn’t get off the ground. TPTB could not just use fear or they would have had two leads demotivated imo. In business, you need to keep your team motivated. TPTB would have gone for the carrot and stick approach imo. ‘Protect the Fantasy Man by burying your lives and we’ll give you the career opportunities you want. Fuck us around, you fuck the production and that’s a lot of people’s jobs and a lot of missed opportunity’. Instead of SC negotiating with their teams back and forth (given there was now a child involved and an ‘end date’ timeframe SHOULD have been negotiated) TPTB used time pressure in that meeting and wanted the denial video out asap imo. Fantasy Sam couldn’t be Daddy Sam in their eyes, it would kill the fandom obsession. SC agreed, signing then and there imo, seeing A-List opportunity in their grasp. TPTB were prepared, docs ready to go…imo RDM had already spilt the beans about Cait’s pregnancy. STARZ knew this might impact the LG merger. A bribe you might call it but one SC had no idea would lead to almost a decade with false narratives in play, years of humiliation and loss, 5 children without a family identity and Sam stripped of his family pride, of fatherhood. TPTB are smart enough to know they need to keep the Wifey happy and career opportunity does that. The carrots keep coming, SC see it as making it ‘worth their while’ …the reality of the situation too hard to face I would think…it’s an utter clusterfuck that’s set a precedent for ‘fantasy’ male actors in the future. Fact is, the losses aren’t something the glitz and glam bullshit or fame will ever make up for. In the years ahead, they are certain to look back with some (perhaps a lot) of bitterness. This is one of the best explanations of the narrative that I’ve read. This is very succinct and sounds very plausible. Those of us who are still shippers should ban together and always be very supportive in any way possible of our 2 peeps, S/C. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ BIRTH OF THE NARRITIVE- FOR NEWBIES- EXCELLENT! -- source link
