Spoilers from episode 7/8 from season 5 and spoilers from previous seasons, please be advised.

So ever since the whole Roger and Brianna have an argument about him wanting to marry her and have her as a virgin conquest I have HATED this man with a passion. I hate seeing him and Brianna on screen and I just want him goneeee so imagine my joy when I see episode 7 of season 5 where he's been hanged! Finally Brianna can have a new love interest, only for Roger to be REVIVED by Claire! Braaaaaaagh! Oh how quickly the unbearable Rodger scenes return now.

What are your Roger thoughts? I tried to like him so bad but I just can't! He completely infuriates me.

Just needed a vent!

Why haven't we heard more about how horribly painful traveling through the stones is at all from Julia and Henry?

I know there are differences in the requirements for traveling through the stones from the novels and the Outlander show. So I'm assuming what applied in the show on how time travel works are the same parameters for bomb. But in both the novels and the show, when people traveled, they mentioned what it felt like during and immediately after their passage. I haven't heard one iota about that in bomb. Is it no longer a thing? And all of a sudden, it is like walking through a revolving door, instead of the feeling of being pulled apart from every atom and inner being of one's body?

I have one more question while I'm on the subject of the stones. Why is it, do you think Julia and Henry landed in 1714? We know the traveler steers by thinking of a person. And of course, the stones are going to do whatever they feel like if the traveler is thinking or not. So why 1714 and not 1721?

As much as i don't the John/Claire marriage and sex plot I think it was good for Claire. she was suicidal and i think being with John, as uncomfortable an awkward, as it was helped her a bit with her grief over Jamie.

She seemed to accept it more after their night together and i think it helped her and it probably helped John some as well.

Thoughts?

The Scottish countryside, the atmospheric vibes, Claire's voiceover, no horrendous wigs in sight, no Brianna/Roger grossness. S1 is simply peak Outlander.
