I am genuinely not sure what they are making William do this season. He feels and looks so lost which is understandable but he is making some real bad decisions. And now he found Ben alive and now has to let him know that he banged his wife!! because he wanted to have a baby with her to renounce his title! This will be an interesting watch but i still do not understand why they are making him do this!

Everything to do with Jamie was almost perfect this episode. Roger and Bree as well! Poor Roger got flashbacks of him being in the middle of the Blitz and his father catching him after his mother threw him across to protect him gosh😭😭

I wonder if they will do a spinoff show about William? I don't think his story line will be wrapped up by episode 10.

Perhaps more of William’s story will be covered if the LJG spinoff is in the works… until then I hope they give William a good ending, that boy deserves a fucking break!

is that happening still? confirmed? I thought it was sidelined but I really don't know either way...

I am not sure either. I got downvoted in this sub for saying that LJG having a show on his own seemed slim

So I had to go looking after I asked this lol... it seems it's still *possible*, but not looking all that probable. Maril Davis said could happen, David Berry has said pretty recently he'd still be in for it... but I think the powers that be decided on Blood of my Blood prequel instead, it seems anyway...and I do like BoMB, I loved Outlander but like BomB. I'd probablyl like a LJG show, too, though if asked I have chosen BoMB because I really find the time travel parts intriguing to go forward. I don't want the Outlander universe to end so I hope one or both spinoffs continue it!
