Outlander “Turning Points” Season 7 Episode 708 recap! My Outlander Purgatory's Carol and Tracey are back to recap the FINALE episode of the front half of Season 7 of Outlander, the Starz series based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book series. Join us as we break down every moment, including the HUGE NEWS that WE’RE GOING BACK TO SCOTLAND and all the deets on how YOU can join us; why Claire’s level of bad assery in rescuing Jamie was top three of the series; why Jamie’s reference to cutting off his finger actually had a purpose (and why Carol loved this whole scene); what Bree has in common with Peg Bundy; why Roger and Buck are the superheroes of time travel we never knew we needed; whether or not they maybe should have given the whole rescue thing a few more minutes of planning; why Rob Cameron should just rob a bank if he’s so hard up for cash; why Rollo got off easy for eating the goose grease; why we are worrit about Ian and Rachel (and it doesn’t have to do with danger); how Pee Wee Herman (RIP Paul Reubens 😢) helps us try to get at the Ian Problem (let us know in the comments if you agree there’s a problem or if you think we’re off our rocker!); why Nice Guy Benedict Arnold threw Claire; why Sam must have been super happy about that Morgan back performance; why the Emmys should have a best adapted teleplay category because the Outlander writers would sweep; why we’re confused about terms of surrender for a battle (and why William can’t just sneak to another regiment); why the civility of a Redcoat coming into the rebel camp is very impressive; why we LOVEDLOVEDLOVED the Fraser cousins and their entire scene (RIP Angus the Bruce); how Jamie and Simon represented the division that so many families went through at that time; how Granny Gates really had to twist Jamie’s arm to get him to take Angus the Bruce back to Scotland; how Rachel made us SOOOOO happy (cause we’re heading to Valley Forge in the back half of season 7!); why Sophie gets a slow golf clap for the goodbye scene; the reappearance of ARCH BUG!!; why those sweeping shots of the ships on the water are EVERYTHING; why Outlander doesn’t get better than the last minute of the episode, and MUCH MUCH MORE!!

Again, I agree there is an Ian problem. I thought JB would play the young Ian and then be replaced with an older Ian who could portray the transformation (dangerous, loner, his own person but loyal to Jamie). Otherwise, I thought it was a wonderful episode and enjoyed your insights.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that seems to be the general consensus. John Bell, while a solid, competent, beloved actor, has a bit of a baby face...so it's hard to view him as a ruthless warrior. Conundrum for sure!!
DeleteI thought it a bit strange that Rachel slapped Ian. Is that not violence? She wouldn't even slap the woman that was trying to kill her brother! I am a little confused about that.
ReplyDeleteOh wow GREAT POINT!!!! They (and DG? Can't remember what happened in the book!) took a little romantic license with the situation!
