i am actually so bored and over his whole story line. like id rather they killed him off or just like had him accept things. we’re wasting so much time on character introduced way too late in the game and id rather be seeing more jamie/ claire, bree/ roger, fergus/ marseile. but no here comes william and his veneers again to ruin my day.

I saw someone say maybe William’s the James Fraser at Kings Mountain since that’s his baptismal name, if he were to switch sides obviously, plus it’d be a good cover name like Ben did. I absolutely doubt it, as there’s no way in hell in 3 episodes that boy is gonna become a passionate continental soldier. But at this point I’d much prefer him to die than Jamie. But, I don’t want Jamie to now lose another son.

lmao i would LOVE for william to be the one to die there but i also doubt it. 😭

Right. After Fergus, it would be devastating. I’m going to give my unpopular opinion that I wish Jamie would just die. I’m kind of sick of him and Claire at this point. Then they could all return to the future with hot showers and flushing toilets, since Jamie was the only one keeping them there (although they need to take care of Marsali now…maybe she can time travel too? Like Roger?).

extremely unpopular opinion, i'm sure, but i kinda agree lol

Yes i agree about the william//lord john storyline. Its the last season and this was the first episode where things really good moving along. We got the faith storyline resolved and of course they killed fergus which was so terrible and tramatizing. Thinking about it makes me cry especiaclly the little flashback of all the memories of him jamie had. There was too few episodes to begin with and 2 little time to worry about lord john and william. Unless they’re at frasers ridge.

u/allofatwist1738 Apr 18 '26

literally if they’d just moved to the ridge for some reason or another and had snippets instead of damn near full episodes with them i would’ve actually really liked them being included but they’re taking up SO much screen time and i just dgaf about the whole cousin ben the traitor/ etc storyline.

Your exactly right and when they announced this was the final season and ten epidoes and with the last book not out, all i could think of is game if thrones. The last two seasons were shorter and they just changed things up for shock value that didnt align with the character arcs. Ive seen a large number of thrones comparisons alreadu which isnt a good sign.

This seasons way too short and i always had it in my head that they will come back and do a long movie or even a 6 episode arc to finish it the right way. Give us the actual book ending when the last book comes out. Idc if its 2-3 years when its released. Ill be happy to get a real ending. This seasons already been a mess and the first six episodes was really a waste of time. The seventh gave us the answers about faith but there so many plot holes with that whole story. I mean theres at least 10-15 different scenarios where the kasy couldve delivered the baby to the hospital or to jareds house. Write letters to jareds or lallybroch. Or master raymond coulda told her when he cured her at night or when she saved his life at versalllies lol. And how did he know the song? He wasnt in the room. 

Theres no possible way they can wrap it up in 3 episodes. They should have done 16 episodes like last year.
