"Outlander" author Diana Gabaldon gave the Starz TV show her blessing to make occasional changes from her books. There was, however, a proposed alteration she couldn't tolerate: Black Jack Randall, one of the early seasons' main villains, had to die. It's during this fight that Black Jack meets his end in the third book, "Voyager." When he called to ask about Black Jack, she replied "I really wish you wouldn't do that." In accordance with Gabaldon's wishes, it never aired and Black Jack remained a casualty of the battle.
