Brianna’s Missing Baby Bump

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.”
