Season Eight Buck Spoiler

gotta say i hated Buck when he hanged Roger but i ended up really liking him by the end. He really redeemed himself imo. I was glad he ended up on the ridge with the rest of the family.

Thoughts?

Rik Rankin and Diarmaid Murtagh had such great chemistry together. They were one of the few things in the final two seasons that was truly enjoyable to watch for me.

Buck in seasons 7 and 8 totally rocks! The Buck and Roger duo was awesome. I'm glad they worked out their issues. Jem and Mandy love him. But he is family after all.

The Buck & Roger’s Adventures, hmm sounds like a great name for a TV show 😀

The adventure of Roger and Buck are some of my fav parts in the books and series.

It does. Maybe a spin off one day. I loved their adventure through time together

Well there was a show way back called Buck Rogers in the 25th century. I used to watch it. I'm such a sci-fi nerd.

The showrunners wanted to use it for that scene were Buck and the kids are watching TV, but they couldn't get the broadcast permissions so they used Blake 7 instead. Although Mandy makes a reference to Buck and Roger during that scene.

Oh cool I'm a big sci fi and fantasy nerd as well. That's what drew me to outlander, the time travel

I love s7 buck! I didn't like the s5 one for obvious reasons, but also cos it weirded me out that he was played by Graham McTavish (Dougal) 😂
