EDITED FOR CLARITY AT THE END
Well, my Outlander journey has come to a sudden and abrupt and miserable END!!!
FU*K YOU MATT ROBERTS, FU*K YOU TONI GRAPHIA, AND FU*K THE FU*KING COMPUTER YOU TYPED ON AND ALL YOUR FU*KING WRITERS YOU TOLD TO WRITE THIS SHITE, FU*K YOU TALL SHITS PRODUCTION, AND FU*K YOU DIANA GABALDON FOR PARTICIPATING IN THIS FU*KING ABOMINATION.
I AM D O N E! D. O. N. E!!!!!
Sorry Sam, I could feel your embarrassment in having to play this out. You did your best to breathe life into the incredibly trite and melodramatic, and all around cheap, soap-operish script unworthy to be the end of the saga that we fell so hard for, and that you served as best as you were allowed to. I am sorry that your remaining efforts will go unseen by me, but this is the end of the road for me.
At this point, I don't even care to read book ten, or listen to the rest of the audio books. You blew my devotion to smithereens. AND I HATE YOU ALL FOR IT!!!
EDIT
And this is why I hate them all:
They elaborated in great AND IDIOTIC detail confirmation that Fanny is their granddaughter.
And here is the brilliant invention of Toni 'wouldn't it be fun if ...' Graphia, full of holes like Swiss cheese.
Ian sends the printed interview that Jane gave to that reporter, whom Jane has told that her mother Faith was given as a baby to a lace maker in Paris by a man who told her to raise her until he comes back, and if he doesn't come back, to give it to Lady Broch Turach. He also taught the song 'By the sea' to the woman to sing it to the baby. He never came back, and she never gave the baby to Lady Broch Tuarach, but raised her as her own (but, apparently, did tell her the story of her birth!!!) Then Faith got married, had daughters and learned that Lady Broch Tuarach lives in North Carolina, so they set sail to find her and were killed by the pirates!
How did six months dead fetus get revived and - with no incubator - given to a stranger? Why did MH let it happen? Why did MR take the baby and gave it to the lace maker? Why did he teach her the song? How did a French woman learn an English song that was sung to her once? Faith was miscarried in mid May and Frasers left Paris in September, why didn't she look for them in those 5 months? Why didn't she give it to Claire when Claire came to her shop to buy a lace veil to wear to Faith's grave? How did they find out Claire is in NC? And in all the time they spent in the brothel, it never occurred to Jane to tell ANY of this to Fanny, only when she was sentenced to death, she entrusts the stranger to write the story on an off chance that it will somehow get to Fanny! Big log of Swiss cheese. Mice can run through those holes.
Then Claire weepily delivers an incredibly saccharine monologue explaining to weepy Fanny all of the above, while Jamie sits next to her like a log (Sam looking deathly embarrassed to be witnessing this 'dRaMa') and Fanny runs out of the room!!! and starts crying at Jane's cairn, because she has lost everyone in her family and now she will lose the Frasers !?!? WTF?!?! All of that dialogue is awfully written, just vomitously bad!!! And everyone is weeping and crying and miserable. But then Claire says how finding Fanny has now healed her heart! Seriously? A stolen child, watched her 10 year old get ra*ed, thrown in to the ocean to drown, and another granddaughter whoring herself for 7 years, and suiciding herself ... all of that is now healed and it's a happy ending? Jeeez!!!!
And if that wasn't enough to make you blow your gasket, they didn't have the guts to have H-C die, but instead (to keep the tRaGeDy going) killled Fergus! This is how they like to surprise book lovers!!!
And to make a perfect trifecta of shite - they have William interrupt John and Percy kissing, and then, having found out that John was a governor of the prison where Jamie was a prisoner, he immediately assumes that the two were lovers and that is why John took William to raise, making Jamie gay too. John denying it is feeble and contrived and completely unbelievable. You can imagine how well it bodes for William's future relationship with Jamie.
And - pièce de résistance - Claire is front and center, as if Faith was a child she brought to Jamie by some other man, it is all about HeR loss, hEr suffering, HeR pain ... Jamie is merely an appendage. And a bad one at that. Seems obvious to me that Sam was so embarrassed to be a part of it, that he couldn't act his way out of a bag! After being so good in this season, he was back to the large tree in the background like he spent S6.
Never, NEVER, watch this episode!!!!
Finally. The show lost me mid second season and I have not looked back. The books were a treasure during some of the hardest moments in my life. I refused to patronize the garbage presented as an adaptation. I won’t even start on acting skills and grift.
I still adore and am forever grateful for the many friendships, laughter and love along the way. Wishing you all the best. Always.
