| I enjoyed the last couple of episodes. I wondered how they would handle the Beardsley story- whether they would really want Jamie to kill Mr Beardsley. Glad they were faithful to the book. |

I’m just catching up.
Came here to express disappointment in Jaime murdering Knox. That was horrible!! Not in the book. |

Here’s a link to an article where Diana Gabaldon explains why that needed to happen in the t.v. series .... https://www.google.com/amp/s/parade.com/1008905/paulettecohn/outlander-season-5-episode-5-diana-gabaldon-jamie-kills-lieutenant-knox-traitor/amp/ |

| this show has become so tedious. Roger is the worst. I like the episode where he couldn't speak. sam Hueghen is one note actor. Squinting is not acting. He is hot though. I should just rewatch the first season, that was amazing, |

I haven’t read the books, but I googled it. Not sure if the show will follow the books, but I found something online that indicates they land in Ocracoke in the 1970s. They eventually find Claire’s doctor friend and eventually head back to Scotland and purchase lallybroch. Then stuff happens prompting them to return to the past. The episode last night was good. |

| In the books, they don’t go back until book 6 (much later) after they have a daughter. The baby girl has diabetes and they return to the future for her health. They travel back and forth between time though quite a bit and their story line continues. What happened in this episode is a big divergence from the book, so who knows. It looks like the same place they left, Roger’s “what the devil” comment and baby Jemmy looking like he’s walking towards something/someone familiar may lead us to believe that the time travel didn’t work. In book 6 when Clair is kidnapped, raped, and practically killed, it’s Jamie, Ian, AND Roger who find her...of course Jamie then kills the group of men that took Clair...who knows what will happen next?! |

| I stopped watching in season 4 because I just couldn’t get past how horrible Brianna’s character was cast. She can’t act and just ruined the show for me. I stopped at the episode where she realizes they beat up Roger and sold him to the Indians and she threw a fit a slapped both Ian and Jamie- how were they to have known? She is a horrible actress and the show is so poorly written. I loved the books, by the way. |

I thought the daughter had a heart defect and needed modern surgery. This is a huge departure from the book, the only major one except for Murtogh surviving Culloden. |

WTF was the point of the season finale?
I enjoyed hearing that song (hadn’t heard it in years, and I’ve always loved it) and seeing everyone in that cool house—especially Jamie with his younger wig. But the rest of the episode was pointless. What exactly did it accomplish? Setting the stage for what exactly? |

Well, it was a major event in the book and in Claire's life so... the couldn't just skip it.
And there are some repercussions with Lionel's brother. |

| Awful. Why didn’t they try and go back again? |

| I haven’t read the books. Just watched the season finale. Horrific to watch in the beginning, and then it just carried summarily through until the end. Super weird finale. And how come Roger and Bree couldn’t time travel? |

They’re supposed to concentrate on where they want to go and they both “thought about going home”. Apparently “home” now means the ridge instead of the 1960’s. |
