Although the show could skip this altogether because we have spent way too many episodes angst-ing over Brianna and Roger’s relationship status, it might be nice to see these two all dolled up and doing something nice, since for their handfast ceremony they were alone and also trespassing. The beginning of The Fiery Cross devotes a lot of time to Brianna and Roger’s wedding day, which is part of a larger traditional Scottish gathering ceremony. As was intimated in season four, Jamie has a tough line to walk with all this militia business, and not just because of his loyalty to his Scottish comrades - because thanks to Claire, he knows that being on His Majesty’s side is not going to do him any favors come time for the American Revolution. In the book, Jamie’s first order is to use his militia to find Regulators involved in a riot (that took place in Drums of Autumn), which although not as personal as being asked to turn in his godfather, still fills Jamie with much angst, since many Regulators happen to also be Highlanders.
The final scene in season four, in which Jamie receives a letter from Governor Tryon ordering him to form a militia and hunt down Murtagh is - aside from the Murtagh stuff since Book Murtagh is long gone - actually from the beginning of Gabaldon’s fifth novel.
You will probably hear the word “militia” a lot.
Obviously, it’s Spoiler City down there, so proceed at your own risk. The book clocks in at almost 1,000 pages, so there’s no way everything will fit into season five, and the show continues to make changes to fit its own narrative, but below are some guesses (and wishes) as to what might make the leap from page to screen as the Starz drama tackles the next installment in the Frasers’ time-traveling saga. If you can’t wait for this Sunday’s season five premiere to find out just what might befall our time-traveling heroine Claire and her hunky husband who just! can’t! stay! out! of trouble!, look no further than Diana Gabaldon’s fifth novel in the Outlander series, 2001’s The Fiery Cross. Spoilers below for Outlander and the Outlander book series.Īnd just like that, another season of Outlander is upon us, ending many, many months without the calming reassurance of Claire “I Am Handling It” Fraser, the warm (imaginary) embrace of Jamie’s swole arms, and the confusing horniness that sets in every time you see such a hot dude wearing such small glasses.
