“Brianna had quite a few new looks this season… she’s working domestically and looking after the children but also doing engineering works around the Ridge… so she has some practical clothing but she is also young and, in her past life, liked clothes. I think she has become somebody who has her things made or she makes some things herself.” -Costume Designer Trisha Biggar
In the episode, I Am Not Alone, Jemmy has lice and Brianna cuts his hair off to get rid of these lice. Jemmy, now with shorn hair has a nevus on the side of his head. Brianna has never seen one before and Roger explains it’s not harmful and isn’t something that appears before two years of age. He should know, he has one, they are hereditary. To Brianna and Roger this means Jemmy is biologically Roger’s child. It is a good indication if his fairness is not.
I’ve heard fans mention Brianna’s lack of a baby bump in the season finale, citing she announced her pregnancy before Malva who was advanced in her pregnancy.
I’m baffled. It is clear from the show (well maybe to me) that Malva wasn’t as newly pregnant as she stated when she confessed to the condition. It seemed to me, when watching, she’s been going around trying to trap someone into being called the father and finally settled on Jamie because of the access she had during Claire’s illness. She goes so far to claim she was giving comfort but was betrayed by someone she should trust; though I do think she’s actually referring to someone else here.
Outlander, the genre busting and wildly entertaining Starz series, adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling books, has built a true fandom over its past five seasons. While many of the TV series that inspire deep devotion tend to be—we’ll just come out with it— a little nerdy, and more than a little male-oriented, Outlander is as riveting as it is relatable. And while fans painstakingly unpack episodes, trade theories about plot points and obsess over the show’s historical underpinnings, it’s ultimately a character-driven enterprise. The action hinges on time-travel, and there’s no shortage of romance, but the appeal of the drama is its expertly-drawn characters—especially its female protagonists. Never stereotypical, the series shows women as the multi-dimensional forces they are. “You know, it’s funny, my knee jerk reaction is always that we’re not setting out to make a statement about women,” says executive producer Maril Davis. “We’re just trying to show women as they are, in their most natural, amazing state.”
TV Fans, if you think about season 4 there are a lot of story lines which were left hanging. Here are just a few story lines PTBs (powers that be, ie writers and producers) need to address early on in season 5.
