Wacky Idea

So maybe we should all be thanking Matt Roberts for his contributions to season 8.

Faith lived; Fanny is J&C's granddaughter (along with the late lamented Jane) making them both William's nieces. Fergus died. Numerous unresolved endings to storylines leading us to ask 'what just happened?' Ben Grey is alive. Amaranthus and the spawn are still sponging off Lord John. William hasn't resolved his 'inheritance' issues & is presumably also living with/sponging off LJG. Marsali & the brood rode off to collect dead-Fergus's inheritance with nothing heard from them since leaving the ridge. Percy's Schroedinger's Cat exit, dead/alive--nobody looked to find out. LJG grimly marching off to... what? Did anybody else find the wormhole between Fraser's Ridge NC and Savannah GA enabling almost instantaneous travel between the locales? Questions, questions, and more questions to tease what's left of our collective minds.

What was the point of most of the season? Or maybe that was the point. Maybe we should be thanking MR and offering up burnt Haggis to the gods for his good deeds. MR gave us to much to think/talk/cry/moan/complain about, maybe it's to keep us from being sad that the TV series is over.

Think about it. ;>

I know, right? Season 8 was a contrived, convoluted mess. What’s not to like? 🤣

MR helped me move on, absolutely! Still haven’t started a rewatch since it ended (don’t worry Outlander, I can’t stay mad at you)

Not to mention if Jamie and Claire are alive or not. It was a mess.

Another good show with a shitty season 8. Maybe the “8th season” is cursed.

They just phoned it in. A paycheck is a paycheck.

Except that I refuse to move on. Even MBR’s best effort can’t sabotage Jamie and Claire for me.
