If Season 7 continues like this, will Outlander finally be recognized for the awards it should have won back in season 1. Outlander season 7 is Iike the magic of season 1, but with an infusion of new energy and creativity. It continues to be one of the only shows on television anchored by a strong love story. In just two episodes, the show has managed to reinvent itself, rise up, and breathe new life into its characters. So much so that it’s clear this season marks a Renaissance of sorts. The third episode of Outlander is outstanding. Bug dies, and Claire sings at her funeral.
And, most importantly, Claire sings us a song about a lass that is gone. As if that wasn’t sad enough, Outlander said, “Hold your tissues, we’re not done.” This episode included a significant time jump, an accidental murder, a funeral, a missing cat, another terrible goodbye, and Claire and Jamie trying not to cry, but failing, in virtually every scene.
Roger and Brianna with Jemmy and Mandy, left Jamie and Claire, and went back to the future to save their daughter. Last week saw the family being ripped apart by time, space, Diana Gabaldon, and Mandy’s wee little ticker not ticking properly. Jamie and Claire have had to go through more tragedy than any two characters should endure in just the first 3 episodes of season 7, not to mention the 6 seasons prior. And shout out to Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan who had to do pretty much most of their scenes holding back tears. But not Outlander, and not this exceptionally stand out episode, “Death Be Not Proud.” Is it possible to cry for 59 minutes straight? Yes. By a show’s seventh season, it usually shows wear and tear, and creative exhaustion.
