Outlander just got renewed for TWO more seasons, hooray for rabid fan bases! Really, this is the best news possible, considering what's coming up in the story. Cutting it off at the end of season 3 would have probably been frustrating.

Can someone remind me why they switched sides so quickly? Was it just "Welp, signature forged, poo poo. Don't want to look like a flip flopper, and also all that stuff I did and said in France, so guess we'll have to play this out!" ? I mean that makes sense to me but I thought maybe I missed part of the conversation.

Don't want to look like a flip flopper, and also all that stuff I did and said in France, so guess we'll have to play this out!" ? It was weird to me that just a couple episodes ago, a major plot was laywaying St Germain's wine shipment in order to gently caress up the Prince's war funding efforts, and then the previous episode St Germain was killed without any real impact or fallout from his death on the Prince's efforts being addressed on screen after it being basically the overarching A Story for the whole season so far. I do guess it makes sense that Jamie would come to the conclusion he just has to ride it out on the Stuart's side now that his name's been forged on that document and he was so public in his support of the Prince over in France, there's really no way he could convince the English he wasn't a traitor to the reigning monarch now. It just feels like there's some scenes missing showing what was up with the Stuart situation, and what Jamie was planning on doing about his own status(he would probably be an even more wanted man at home after everything that went down in France) when he got home.

The King of France did say (after exacting his payment from Claire) that he would get Jamie released and talk to the English crown about clearing his name back home. So he is free to be in Scotland again, which is why they went home. I think at this point we know as much as Jamie and Claire know about Prince Stuart arriving in Scotland. They just received the letter and he was told to get the Old Fox's men to help the cause. Because his name is forged onto it (making him a traitor to the existing English king) and since it's too late to stop the uprising, Jamie decides to try to do all he can to make it succeed and try to change history that way.

There are some minor differences, but the general storyline is the same. (After posting about the renewal, I read the book plot summaries on wiki and realized the timeline in my head was different than what actually happened in the books, so my comment about cutting off at the end of season 3 doesn't totally stand anymore lol)

I'm really sad that training montage scene didn't show the full take of Dougal McKenzie wailing on that training dummy because holy poo poo he went mental at it. I don't think anyone even dared shout 'cut!', he just eventually stopped, turned around like 'was that allright?' very politely as everyone around him was about 10 steps back from when he started. I really hope there's a full take of that on the special features when the box sets hit.

No poo poo. But it's pretty clear that her PTSD is related to the war, not the attempted rapes. Someone said Claire's been raped "how many times" and I was just pointing out that that's not true because I felt it was a little unclear in the show. With as much time has been spent in portraying Jamie's emotional recovery, it would be pretty weird if they just glossed over the fact that Claire was going through the same thing during last season.

Yes someone suggested it was unrealistic that Claire suffered from PTSD related to the war and NOT because of her many brushes with sexual assault - she's never been raped, and also no two people are the same in how they deal with what has happened to them. The show has clearly shown rape victims being traumatized by what has happened to them, and now they've shown how war can also traumatize you, even years later. I don't have any issue with how the show has handled these situations.

One of the other extras was a big history buff/sword restorer (actually brought along Rob Roy mcGregor's actual sword one day because he restored it) and went over the whole Prestonpans battle on the bus as we went to set, he was pretty happy with how they were going about it as well.

Murtaugh: best friend, or bestest best friend?  Thought it was cool that Diana Gabaldon wrote the script for this episode. Only two episodes left in the season, and they've leaked the first pictures of new characters Brianna Randall and Roger Wakefield, who are appearing in the finale.

I think it would be great is they did the Original Skye boat song for the season finally. Since what we have seen so far they fail at changing much of real history. [Chorus:] Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing, Onward! the sailors cry; Carry the lad that's born to be King Over the sea to Skye. Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, Thunderclouds rend the air; Baffled, our foes stand by the shore, Follow they will not dare. [Chorus] Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, Ocean's a royal bed. Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep Watch by your weary head. [Chorus] Many's the lad fought on that day, Well the Claymore could wield, When the night came, silently lay Dead on Culloden's field. [Chorus] Burned are their homes, exile and death Scatter the loyal men; Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath Charlie will come again.

Loved the finale - the only thing I didn't like is that I have to wait approximately a year for season three.  They did the flashbacks/forwards? really great, and the return of Gellis was perfect. Some small liberties with the book, of course, but over all just really well done.The part with Dougal when Claire has to lend her weight to help Jamie...

That finale was excellent. I was a little wary at first of her going back again, but them trying to pick up their life together again after 20 years (and a now-grown daughter) apart could make for some interesting television. Well done, Outlander. You continue to impress me. Edit: Also, lol at the fact that the timeline is apparently just deadset on the Jacobites losing, to the point where the intervention of two different time travelers has no effect.

I sure hope Brianna's actress grows into the role a bit, I can't tell if she's just a bad actress or if they gave her terrible lines. Roger, on the other hand, I'm fully on board with. His expressions during the awkward moments were amazing.

She's also English, not American, and even though her accent is very very good there's the odd mispronunciation or slipped vowel here or there that kind of just enweirdens her performance. I definitely heard her say "an-uh-thing" a few times instead of "anything"

Eh, I can handwave it away because while the character grew up in America, both her parental figures were English, so she'd naturally have some sort of accent mish mash.

I'm finishing last episode of season 1 now so can't read the thread but holy gently caress this is getting stupid. It's like somebody managed to write even worse Twilight fanfic torture porn. Guy tries to rape you, gets knocked out, leave him alive. Guy tries to rape you again, gets knocked out, leave him alive. Guy finally succeeds in raping you, gets knocked out, is left alive.
