Lol poor Roger stuck in the middle of this awkward revelation

[@babsgrayson8432]

Roger is me when I go to my friend's house and they start arguing with their parents.

[@sofiapobletehernandez3679]

The way he is so awkward and wants to literally bolt out of there but Brianna is making him stay

[@Vinylrecordsftw]

Such a great scene! The way Catriona plays Claire is just amazingly good!

[@jinan7285]

I don't understand why she was insisting on roger to stay both him wnd claire clearly didn't want him to. It was a personal conversation. I hated that

[@DristeraCrossing0]

Because it involves him to. Where he comes from.

[@giuliapicchiotti]

@jinan Because she felted vulnerable and sad, and she wanted support !!!!

[@STREEEEEET]

I think she was just mad at her mother and wanted to antagonize her.

[@Emy-fv5ny]

She asked her and then she didn't want to know?! I mean, make your mind! 😄

[@KAriedoll]

I understand she is shocked, upset and has the innate need to lash out, but her immaturity is so present even during the situation. I tried to remember that she is 'young', but gosh, so rude to her mother.

[@mossmortis]

She's not just "upset" or "shocked", but she's hurt, she feels betrayed by her own mother. Of course she lashes out. She's not perfect, no one is.

[@kazan_87]

I went through something similar to what Brianna felt. At the time I was too young to understand what it meant, but by the time I was old enough to, I resented my mother in some level and totally rejected my biological father. It's not easy discovering you've been lied to your entire life and that you were never supposed to know the truth. She had it even worse, image your mom saying you have an 18th century dad. You'd surely think she's gone mad. She wasn't immature, she was hurt, and people say things they don't mean when they're hurt. But life moves on, she found it in herself to forgive Claire and accept her reality, as have I

[@Julia-lk8jn]

True, but it's realistic. She's loyal to her father, she feels her mother slept around on him, and she learned that she's the illegitimate daughter of some guy who apparently knocked up her mother before sending her back to her husband. Honestly, with all that, I think she took it fairly well - no insults, no screaming. It would be asking a bit much for her to go "ah well, I guess there was some weird coincidence where your first marriage was sort of timed out of existence and you had to marry some other guy to be safe from the evil identical ancestor of my not-quite-real-father".

One of the bests scenes ! 🤍❤️ But the best is when she meet Jamie ! And the second scene that I prefer is when Claire meet Jamie after twenty years. ❕

[@lotrgirl-uo8lo]

Never in my life have I cried tears of joy for a movie or TV series but Claire and Jamie meeting after 20 years made me cry and smile both at the same time.

[@channie_edits]

lotrgirl3791 i am touchy. I cry for all the movies and series. Lol 😂 but in Outlander, the meeting science after 20 years was so... beautiful. I never seen a tv show as well made. And the generic is enchanting and captivating 🤍❤️ I just hope that will be have 10 seasons like the book.

I love that episode, Is one of my favorites, so well produced💖. Brianna really made me mad in that episode, she said many unfair things and after all she doesn’t knowing, was frank’s fault , lol

Her whole childhood just shattered, so you can't really blame her

[@ceciliafattori5413]

@@heyitsAxone yeah I know, but It's normal for us to do it, bcoz we saw Claire's strugling and after all, I would never treat my mother like that(wtf she said she wished her mother was dead, I hate when people say things to hurt, that's why I prefer s5 bree). You having problems doesn't justify being a jerk, I understand her, and that's why I like her, but I will not pretend that all she did was right :)

Unpopular opinion: I honestly dont like brianna I dont know if its the acting or the way the script is written for her but shes really irritating and rude And i find 0 chemistry between her and roger

[@namjoonsoldmyjamsfor3dolla404]

Agreed

[@cordeliacarstairs2796]

SAME i really liked her in the books but in the show? ew

[@jfifiemxmfeicifnsm8964]

She’s by far the worst character on the show and her and roger are horrible and dysfunctional to watch

[@evgeniap8608]

Yes!!

[@valuuuuuu3244]

I think it's a mixture of how the character was written and also the acting. I dont think Sophie is a bad actress but I think at the beggining it was difficult for her to do an american accent. In s3 her acting wasnt that good but in s5 it got so much better. (Just my opinion)

[@sreelakshmivijayan6466]

This is quite different from what i expected after reading the book

[@L1L0]

Sreelakshmi Vijayan how different?

[@ahzrahechi]

How was it in the book? Please, tell us! 😃

[@yunsuuu]

Claire looks a bit like Audrey Hepburn in this scene! I see Audrey Hepburn, Emma Thompson and Nurse Jenny Lee in Call the Midwife (Jessica Raine) in Claire sometimes.

Крутой сериал.!!

[@user-zz8oo2vz9o]

Согласна на все 💯

[@jocelynfalconer8866]

I wish the direction for Brianna's realization to be more complex. In the tv series it was a frustratingly lost opportunity to behold. We are more than our rage around our trauma, and she could have been an example for that. Can you imagine a different scenario? One where she learns skills and to direct her passions so they are less of a weakness and we would have grown with her in a sense maybe? I may not write amazing stories, yet this amazing production missed the mark for character development here. I dislike the how flat they made her character thus the acting falls short linked to that shortcoming.

[@lynda.grace.14]

You're not alone in this, Jocelyn; however, I don't understand why people want the storylines in the series (and Outlander isn't the only serial drama where it happens) to be some kind of behaviour manual for a woke life. I prefer the messiness of characters, their flaws and how they develop in their narrative arc. When there's no conflict in a story there's no story, nothing to invest in and nothing to push our emotions to inflated levels and no collective catharsis possible. Unlike others, I like how Brianna tells her mother she wishes she were the one dead, not Frank. It completely fits for someone in the middle of grief who has learned a great secret and betrayal, who has been "Daddy's girl" all her life and is not connected to her mother all that closely. The lie Claire was forced to live by Frank continues to damage her after his death. Completely in keeping with Frank's attempts to control Claire under the guise of "love" and to solidify Claire's repression throughout their marriage--trying to get her orders changed, the second "honeymoon" all about his historical research and not focused on her at all. In keeping with the times and the expectations of men in that time, Claire was always an appendage to Frank whereas with Jamie she was his heart. The way Brianna lashes out at her mother also establishes how like her father she is. Jamie says dreadful things when he is angry and hurt and in later seasons we see this play out as the drama escalates. Without such "flaws" (which I prefer to understand as realistic human traits--people do act this way) we would be left with nothing but an insipid and lifeless narrative.

[@Julia-lk8jn]

@@lynda.grace.14 Good point. I think I've seen a few scenes where characters behave in that "manual for life" (I'll never figure out what the heck 'woke' is supposed to mean), and at best it feels a bit too good to be true, at worst Mary-Sueish. Also, everybody being wise and patient and having great communication skills makes for very poor drama. And given that Brianne just learned that her mother apparently slept around on her husband and then returned to him so he shoulder the responsibility for her lover's child ... come on, that Brianne didn't storm in yelling and heaping insults is a point in her favor.

[@lynda.grace.14]

@@Julia-lk8jn Exactly. Those who wish to indulge in morality pieces might want to stick to The Berenstain Bears.

@@Paulasantos. tell me you know nothing about genetics without telling me you know nothing about genetics

[@neve_rp]

I think Brianna's maths is wrong as November is 7 months after April. So if Claire was 3 months in April, she would have been pregnant for 10 months. So Claire was actually 2 months pregnant in April.

[@Me-xo5tw]

Maybe it was near the end of April and near the beginning of November though , that would make it closer to 6 months between them
