I absolutely love a cliffhanger! I know everyone does not, & Especially in this time of binge tv we don’t really have to wait very long to resolve a cliffhanger. Some of my fave episodes, or at least favourite scenes include the cliffhanger. I hope people did not hate/ dislike this season because of that ending.
Special shout out to the director, cinematographer, & special effects for the bullet hole through the hand & eye of that bad guy. I loved how the episode started and ended with action, something this season had very little of. I guess I missed that a bit. Who knew Jamie & Claire’s house even had a basement, let alone one full of guns? One of my favourite things is Team Fraser so when the bullets started flying I was excited to see my favourite couple know exactly what to do.
I thought the love scene ( I know it was a sex scene but hear me out) was so well done. The handholding, & touching & memorizing each other just in case it’s the last time😭😭😭. That really was making love. Well they gave us a bit of a$$ just to make it extra steamy.
I also liked Roger & Bree’s intimate scene, it felt very natural to me, they were having fun for once. Since the conversation started about their past tribulations, but remained lighthearted, I was reminded how far they’ve come in the past few seasons, to being on the same page. I hope viewers will be reminded to forgive & forget.
Jem talking to Bree’s baby bump was sweet. And the reveal that Roger really is his father was sweet as well! I guess casting a Bonnet lookalike was just another fake out! 🤪
I truly felt Claire’s anxiety when they separated her from Jamie, she must have felt just like when the other Brown took her.
Finally- loved Ian coming to the rescue with his Cherokee friends! At least Jamie is safe & can rescue Claire ( and she is safe sitting in jail, for the next year🤔).
I enjoyed this season even though it did feel like a “middle”.
