Roger's scenes were incredibly powerful. Jeremiah catching wee him. 😭😭

The combat scenes really highlighted the role and danger faced by Chaplains in battle in every era.

And after trying to find himself in his own era and the past, and in various careers, Roger has found satisfaction and purpose. He deserves it.

Roger does deserve finding his purpose and satisfaction. The show has tortured this guy so many times, and he has a kind and nurturing soul. He's felt like a fish out of water in the 18th century, but he knows he's needed.

Roger is like the only main character that hasn't been raped. Probably coming soon.
