One of the few shows my wife and I do not wait to binge, Outlander is back for the very last time. Faith…lived??? I had totally forgotten that from the previous season. What? How? What? Three excellent questions. I have no clue how they came up with this storyline or how it could affect the overall plot. I’m glad the show is back and this season, I like the opening song. @ivylass ---

Thank you for tagging me! I haven’t had a chance yet but I seriously hope that Faith is a different Faith. ---

I think they might be going for some kind of “time travel” person who…I guess got her before she died and…get this, swapped her for a dead baby? This is impossible since the sisters brought the baby they delivered to her. It’s a massive stretch, one of the weirder storylines the show has done. ---

How would Faith (if she is the same Faith they are alluding to) remember a song that was sung to her once when she was allegedly a comatose newborn? And sing it to her own children? ---

Did anyone watch the series finale? I…am not sure what to say. Warning: Open spoilers here. So Jamie dies as Frank wrote about, only with details not recorded. Claire lays with him for days. We get a montage of him as a ghost visiting her in season 1…and then the closing shot. Her eyes open…and so do his. Ugh. Ugh. This can not be the end. Are they planning on more movies or something? I can’t stand this unexplained ending. Or was it explained???
