A Finale of Two Halves, Some Far-Fetched Heroics, Geillis in Nutty Scottish Nationalist Mode and Some Sexy Foreplay. Contains SPOILERS. From my perspective, this season’s finale was a bit of an anti-climax. Perhaps this was because the last two seasons finished with such strong episodes; or maybe because Season 3 was so enthralling at the […]

False Expectations, Brianna Grows Up, Timeless Ageing and Claire Decides.Contains SPOILERS. This week’s episode proved to be a case of false expectations on my part.

In this week’s episode Claire’s story takes a backseat, Roger and Brianna finally kiss and Jamie is blackmailed into having sex. Oh yes, and there’s a new addition to the Fraser clan.
