[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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? [/quote]

It’s a major event in their life. It serves to highlight that Claire’s love for Jamie is so deep that she chooses to live in that godforsaken time and place even though she doesn’t have to. It also shows that Claire (and how she functions as a “strange” healer and not subservient to men) is an oddity in that time, which in itself is dangerous. The dream/fantasy scenes show the relative tranquility of the time that she came from, where a typical concern would be a leak in the ceiling rather than the ever present threat of death. But if you noticed, Jaime was the only one not wearing 60s era clothes. That is because, even if he could travel back with her, Claire knows that he belongs in the 18th century and that he would be just as out of place there that she is on the ridge in 17whatever.

As far as setting the stage, they will encounter the Indian from the future again, and that will trigger a major sequence of events.[/quote]

Spot on! The books are LONG (~1,000 pages), and it’s hard to chunk it and capture all of the incredible details into single episodes. I thought the finale was well done, but I’ve read the books and can fill in details. We’ll have plenty of time before season 6 airs, so go read book 6 - A Breath of Snow and Ashes[/quote]
