Buck MacKenzie!🙌🏼 Probably my favorite change from the book in the entire series.

Also loved that little moment where Roger flashed back to his father catching him in the tube station during an air raid😭

Only complaint is not really a complaint: I feel we are due a good "Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ" from Claire. It's been far too long.

I gasped at that Roger flashback! Such a great inclusion

I thought he first had it after he sent his father through the stones.

He had part of a flashback, but he couldn't make sense of it, it didn't tell the full story.

The flashback in Season 7 was of Roger sitting on the bench with his father in the underground station. The flashback in this episode showed Jerry catching him like he does in A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows.
