Most romantic outlander episodes8/6/2023 In 1968, Claire and her nineteen-year-old daughter Brianna attend the Reverend Wakefield's funeral and befriend the Reverend's foster son, Roger. This farewell is a three-hanky event for me, every time I watch it. After doing his best to save his men and his Lallybroch family, Jamie takes Claire, who is newly pregnant, to the stones and forces her to return to her own time before he turns back to die at Culloden. After discussing the possibility of assassinating Bonnie Prince Charlie as a last ditch effort to change history, Jamie and Claire are instead forced to kill Jamie's uncle, who overhears their plans. In 1746, it is the morning of the Battle of Culloden. It's extra long – ninety minutes – and takes place in two time periods, 17, with both story threads culminating at the standing stones of Craigh na Dun. This is my personal favorite Outlander episode. Please note that it's impossible to describe these episodes without spoilers. It is fan favorites, not critical favorites, which is why I think it leans away from some of the heaviest stuff in the series. This top ten list, in reverse order, is derived from several "favorite episode" polls I've posted on a large Outlander Facebook fan group (which is currently closed to new members during Droughtlander, or I'd give you a link). The core of the series is Jamie and Claire and their unusual marriage against a backdrop of Scottish history, the American Revolution, primitive medicine, conflicting gender roles, and various time travel complications. Outlander is about Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a World War II British Army combat nurse who goes back in time to 1743 and is forced by circumstances to marry eighteenth century highlander Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). Whether or not the series ever catches up with the books is anyone's guess. The television series will start filming season six as soon as the pandemic permits. There are eight Outlander novels published with a ninth near completion, and a tenth and final novel planned. Outlander, currently running on Starz, is a time travel and mixed genre mash-up of a series based on the novels written by Diana Gabaldon.
