The men of Outlander — Sam Heughan, John Berry and Duncan Lacroix — took center stage at New York Comic Con Sunday but it was author Diana Gabaldon who delivered some of the best zingers at the now annual panel.

But her best comment came when discussions centered on the long run of Lacroix, whose character Murtagh Fraser should have died on the Culloden battlefield but instead lasted until season 5. “If we get to a season 8, I’ll see what we can do about Murtagh’s
