I did not read these reviews back in season 1 so I can only speak to what I have read here for season 3. So many of these reviews are straight up factually incorrect and I do think it comes from a lack of understanding of this material and I don’t know, observation skills.

I’m guessing that our friend Kayla didn’t realize that Margaret was channeling (or whatever) Brianna.
Reviews should be objective of course. I think what people are trying to get at is that this particular reviewer seems to not understand this show or it’s source material to such a degree that there are constant inaccuracies and the observations are at times off base. Criticism is a must but when that criticism is…
Yeah I also thought that that was pretty clear based on the gazillion bubbles. I mean, I did think the scene was stupid because there was no way Jamie could have dived off the ship and found her in the middle of the ocean during a storm but that part at least made some sense.
which contradicted a lot of previous character development
Agreed. I think all the time-loop approach proves indirectly is that the universe of Outlander is never going to go in the direction of suddenly the 20th century is different because Claire is in the past.
“The only sort of redeeming quality was Claire watching the rhythms and choreography of the ceremony, and picking up on the parallels with the pagan ceremony of the Scottish women back in the pilot. It showed that the show exoticised Scottish culture in the same way...”
I’ve accepted that, for me personally, the reviewer to this series isn’ for me. Not based solely on many things I may disgree alot with, but the culinary of things.
Jamie wasn’t kissing Claire underwater - he was trying to give her air. Duh!!!! It was made pretty obvious by the giant air bubbles.
He wasn’t kissing her. He was trying to put air into her lungs.
My interpretation of the underwater “kiss” is that he was trying to share his breath with her...
“Outlander’s season finale climaxes too quickly”
On land, the center of the eye is, by far, the calmest part of a hurricane, with skies mostly clear of clouds, wind and rain. Over the ocean, however, it’s possibly the most dangerous: inside, waves from all directions slam into each other, creating monster waves as tall as 130 feet (40 meters)
I don’t really think that the time loop has a whole lot of implications here, since Claire didn’t realize her role in Geillis’ death until after it occurred. Stories about self-fulfilling time loops usually require intent.
You seem to have very little patience for pure mood-oriented pieces in fantasy narratives. Why do you assume out of hand that the dancing sequence wasn’t meticulously researched and carefully created? Not everything that is viewed through the eyes of a story’s protagonist is automatically a racially-motivated white…
“My cock approves, big-time.”: a sentence written by an adult in a novel for other adults, and not from a 17-year-old’s fanfic.
Fingertips grazed the tumescent surface. “Ooh.” she mumbled. “You’re full to bursting! I want you inside me so badly. I must...”
Her fingers playfully lingered on the jar top before she pressed hard and twisted it off. It made a pop that echoed throughout the house. There was no way he did not hear that noise, that call, that summons. She clutched at her chest for a second with bated breath. She plunged her hand into the jar and pulled out as…
He gently slid himself into the hot dog bun -toasted but too toasted. It still had a slight spring and the infused warmth spread through him. Fumbling one-handed, he reached out for a cool, lubricating bottle of ketchup. At the last moment, he snapped his hand back. “No”, he said to himself, “We’re doing this Chicago-s…
