Outlander S8 & Fergus Fraser: The Unnecessary Cruelty Of A Beloved Character's Death

I can only speculate what was going on in the heads of Toni Graphia and Matthew Roberts, the writers of Outlander, to kill off a character as widely loved as Fergus, but I will throw out some guesses, anyway. Because it feels very much like Fergus has been treated like a Place Holder, of sorts.

There's all kinds of poetic irony of the Boy rescued from the brothel, killed off to make room for the Girl rescued from the brothel. There is poetic irony in the adopted Son that Jamie chose being disappeared for the birth Son Jamie did not choose. But, bottom line, it still stinks to high heaven. I am also someone who tries to separate books from a show. I haven't read the Outlander books, but I have been listening to some of the book readers, and they are absolutely right. I don't need the books to know that the Faith story should never have happened, because as it stands, outside of all the other traumas that William, Jamie's blood son has been through, his character is now saddled with the reality that he slept with his own Niece. While that may have been alright in the 1700s, modern audiences find it icky. They cheapened the Master Raymond character by throwing him into a scene to try and explain Faith's survival. They completely ignored their own continuity and writing. Jane told William in S7 they had no family and that she wanted to go North. In S8, Jane apparently told a complete stranger that they did have family and had been traveling South. Having Brianna lamely announce her pregnancy while digesting her brother's death just five minutes before was beyond tacky, as was turning William into a homophobe and attacking Lord John.

The entire Faith, Jane and Fanny storyline now feels like an almost intentional disruption of what Outlander was supposed to be in it's final season. Someone pointed out how characters this season can't even have a full minute to sit with their feelings and express them because of the Faith storyline. This happens when Jamie is thinking about Fergus in this last episode. This should have been devastating for him, but all we got was a split second homage of Fergus, then Fanny pops up and makes it all better; basically dampening the emotions of the scene. Fergus Claudel Fraser has been with us for nearly the entire run of the show; 10 years. Fans watched him grow up and turn into an awesome example of a human being. I won't lie. Outside of Jamie & Claire as a couple, Fergus was me absolute favorite. His and Marsali's wedding is my favorite after Jamie and Claire's. It was beautiful. The show did a marvelous job in casting both Romann Berrux as wee Fergus and César Domboy as Young Fergus. Both actors did an amazing job with the little French Frog. Killing off his character was unnecessary cruelty.

I know writers are always under pressure to deliver a gripping story, but Outlander came packaged and wrapped with a neat little bow within the books, which had lots to choose from as far as plots. It came with a built in audience and fan base. Outlander has been of such high caliber, and I can see, arduously labored on. There is no do-over for a show like this. Fans had been emotionally preparing themselves for possibly losing Henri Christian, but hopefully not losing anyone, so for the writers to go for the cheap shock of killing off Fergus, is pure Amateur Hour. Everyone can see it was just for the shock value, and that is cheap writing. The Fergus and Marsali characters had been written off the show for S7, so to bring them all back just to destroy them borders on insane. There was always the option of simply having them move back to the Ridge after all the threats the family was getting. They made Jamie's worse fear come to life.

This kind of thing has happened far too often with the final season of popular shows. We won't go into which, but the book fans also see clearly that the changes and butchering of the final season/seasons of Outlander have all been in service of propping up the new copycat, Blood Of My Blood aka BOMB; an appropo nickname, because fans have now witnessed the writers willing to sacrifice continuity, authenticity and any semblance of loyalty to it's fan base, just to prop up a sequel that doesn't have nearly the same magic and hold as the original; firmly based as Outlander was in the books. The Producers of Outlander just told their audience that they can't be trusted and that there is no sense in even trying to form an attachment to BOMB. It will just end the same way, and is likely to find itself being sacrificed for the Next Thing. It doesn't matter if it's not based on any books. This is about trust, and Outlander broke that, big time, with Fergus' death.

It also is not lost on me the trickery that goes on with destroying a beloved show. Besides the possible intention of actually being cruel, which has been happening quite a lot in Entertainment, so Scotland is not out of the question in participating in that type of behavior, it's supposed to generate certain reactions. Fans are supposed to obsess for years over which was best, the show or the books and to bandy about endlessly on plot points.

I know better than to fall for that. BBC Sherlock taught me too well, unfortunately. Blown up plot points and narratives can go a long way in distracting fans from looking back and focusing too much on things like Subtext, for example. That's not me. I can't not see certain things. I know exactly what I have been watching, and I still loved it anyway and kept any thoughts about the Subtext to myself. Now, I may have to rethink that, since they decided to kill off my wee Frog. I will also not be watching Blood Of My Blood. I have already learned everything I need to from Outlander. BOMB is a cheap cash grab, nothing more.
