I feel so bad for Roger. He follows his love through TIME and nothing but bad stuff has happened to him since. Poor guy.

A lot of that was due to his own bad decisions.

Last night's scene was very similar to the trade scene in "Last of the Mohicans." That's the 2nd time I've been reminded of "Last of the Mohicans."

I kept waiting for the music. I love that film score.

For those who have read the books, do we see young Ian again?

Me too. I stood up and cheered when he made it through the Gauntlet!

I though they did a good job with the season. They kept to the main elements of the books with adding a few little surprises.

I'm fine with the ending. The writers have always said a season may not be an exact book. Basically, they left off the last chapter. I'm not going to spoil it for non-book readers. Before the season started, I was thinking of how I'd "break" the book if I were a writer. Since the next book begins 1 day after the ending of this book, I didn't think they would end in the book location. I though they'd wait until the next book they include everything from this location. (I hope I'm not confusing everyone.) There's probably a good 9 months in between season filming. That's a long time to keep the set, hope you can get the same actors to return, etc.

I like the TV Bree and Roger better than the book versions. I found the book Bree rather "whinny". In the books, Diana included some of Bree's Engineering degree "inventions". It would be cool if the writers could also use her degree to make some cool stuff. It wouldn't affect the plot, but would be fun to watch.

I so liked the way the Native American's were handled. Terry did such a beautiful job on the costumes. (On twitter, she's spend hours explaining the design/research process. Very interesting.) I'm sorry this was her last season. But totally understand how she needs to be home for her kids.

Season 5 & 6 will be 12 episodes each.

Oh no I didn't know that! How sad. I love her dedication to the authenticity of the costumes.

I thought this season was just meh. I’m not happy with the way that Claire is being portrayed. The show seems to want her to be some kind of “I am woman here me roar” type character, taking charge of every situation and challenging anyone who dares to cross her; she’s lost all the softness and the empathy of the book version. Jamie too has been diminished mostly because of the book scenes the show writers have either included, rewritten or left out altogether. I also like the book versions of Bree and Roger much more than the tv versions.

I was really disappointed in how Bree’s baby’s delivery was handled. The elements that were left out were crucial to the development of Jamie and Bree’s relationship. Why they made that choice I’ll never understand.

The first couple seasons I waited impatiently for each episode. Now I watch when I happen to remember.

So, I don't know how far the books go, but I was thinking If Roger and Bri remain in the past, eventually their descendants will catch up with future Roger and Bri. I wonder how that works out.
