No , the actress was perfectly fine in every normal scene. She was hit pretty heavily by the exposition fairy and that script was awkward as hell . I don’t think anyone could have made some of those sentences sound like they were natural speech .

Really loved the show. But how exactly could Brianna be a history major at Harvard in 1968, when Harvard didn’t allow women in until 1977?

It bothers me more than it should, but in the 60s wouldn’t she technically have been a Radcliffe and NOT a Harvard student? Pretty sure that Harvard College didn’t accept women until the 70s...

Love love the final episode. Brianna and Roger good, except!!!! U got both parents with blue eyes and a daughter with brown! It can’t be done. Wish the casting folks would be on the lookout for that.

60's Claire is EVERYTHING.

Actually, at first she is a history major. She doesn’t change her major to Engineering until Claire goes back through the stones.

Harvard didn’t admit women until the late ‘70's, and then only as an extension of Radcliffe, which they absorbed.

As a book reader of the Outlander series for 14 years (I only enjoyed the first three books, I must be a masochist because I hated reading the later books but I am too invested in these characters to give up.), let me just tell you that you should get used to yelling “UUUGHHHHHH BRIANNA SHUT UP.” She is just such a…

He is the worst, but “Mark me” is his most endearing characteristic to me. It seemed to stand out most this episode. I even felt sad for him for a minute when he followed it up with “I don’t think my father is very fond of me.”

Thank goodness they changed the fake rape scene from the book version. In the book Jamie rips Claire’s bodice exposing her breasts to all the men around, pretending he is going to rape Claire if Grey doesn’t give him the information he wants. What kind of man would humiliate his wife like that? Especially after she…

I honestly struggle with whether to recommend the books or not. They’re good, but they have issues (and the very few Diana Gabaldon interviews I’ve read makes it clear she has no desire to examine her shortcomings or grow in her craft so it’s unlikely to change). She needs an editor not afraid to tell her to cut out…

SAME.

It only took 5 episodes, but we FINALLY got Jamie back in a kilt and my world is a much better place for it!

Diana has talked about this a bit. As educated as Jamie is he’s still a Highlander who more or less still believes in magic so it’s not much a stretch for him. I don’t think they did as good of a job making that clear on the show as she did in the books.

That damn gown. So unbelievably gorgeous. They Outlander costume team are just completely outdoing themselves this season.

I am leaving Jamie for Murtagh—at least hes still in a kilt

AUGH GOD I FORGOT ABOUT MR. WILLOUGHBY THE TINY CHINESE MAN WHO IS SOMEHOW MYSTICAL/MAGICAL/WISE AND ALSO AT THE SAME TIME INCREDIBLY STUPID, WITH A FOOT FETISH AND UNCONTROLLABLE SEXUALITY, AND IS ALSO ACROBATIC

DG’s General over the top rape fetishism and the ease she with which her characters, particularily Claire breakthrough their post traumatic stressfollowing the many sexual assaults they suffer throughout the series is nothing short of phenominal. It's a huge problem with her writing.

I hated that scene in the book. Really hated it. Sometimes DG’s writing gives me chills and sometimes it is so eyerollingly bad it makes me irrationally angry. That scene was done so much better on the show because they showed some restraint and it wasn't balls to the wall ridiculous.
