, there has also been criticism for what some consider an overreliance on rape as a source of conflict and drama; an overreliance that is baked into Diana Gabaldon’s novels, on which the show is based. Though Claire is promptly rescued midway through the season finale, this episode will continue a long and sometimes fraught conversation about the role of sexual violence on“It is a really hard line that we have to tread,” Balfe told me over the phone last week.
“We went through quite a few drafts, trying to get it to the right place,” recalls Balfe, who was an executive producer for the first time on Season 5 and relished her expanded role in the process.
The attack takes on an even uglier dimension after Lionel reveals that he knows Claire is actually the mysterious Dr. Rawlings, who has in his words been “spreading dangerous ideas, telling women how to deceive their husbands, how to deny them their God-given rights.” In reality, what Claire did in her “Dr. Rawlings” newsletter was provide advice about contraception, so that women like Lionel’s wife could make decisions to avoid becoming pregnant with their abusive spouses’ children.
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ I’ve stopped watching due to the spoilers regarding the rape episode. As a survivor I cant watch anything w/rape as it’s a huge trigger for me. Im even having trouble following the actors now. Just to realistic.Breaks my heart. 💔 No one can act out a “good rape”-its not artistic

caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ Wonderful pictures ! you are beautiful 🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ I appreciated these mag interviews that help explain the BTS thought that goes into the production of such scenes. It makes this very horrific real life occurrence into more than a scene in a show/helps connect it in a sensitive way 2 reality. Claire will deal w the effects in S6
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ 👏👏👏👏👏 ONLY reaction I have barring 😭😭😭😭 Thank you for show casing this rape scene in a completely different light from the others. To me it's important, as I took away, all react differently from abuse, but bottom line is. You can survive and move forward no matter what
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ ❤❤❤
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ Brilliantly played and a powerful ending! NeverMyLove OutlanderFinale
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ The episode was powerful and Caitrionas performance resonated with me.
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ exceptional performance must have been difficult to shake being in this character under those circumstances; unwavering relationship with husband RoleModels
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ Manipulators Sam and Cait always blaming fans for your mistakes Karma

Outlander_STARZ caitrionambalfe Loved reading this article, puts an emphasis on the episode we are about to watch and gives an understanding where Claire is at, during this horrendous attack.
Heughligans caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ Interested in seeing how she copes with it because you are torn shredded and scarred to your inner most thoughts heart and soul. I'm a survivor so I know the depths of darkness and it's struggle to come into the light.
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ An incredible interview with an incredible woman!
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ Lovely photo shoot too. Will this interview and pic be in the Hard Copy of Harpers Bazaar? I’d love to get a copy.
Outlander_STARZ caitrionambalfe I agree there is no way you experience rape, torture, and betrayal not have any affects on you mentally, emotionally, and physically some level for years to come. In how you trust, and let people in your life as friend, and lover.
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ Really good interview. Loved it. Thank you.
Outlander_STARZ caitrionambalfe As an actress so closely associated with her character, caitrionambalfe must carry some of the same emotions that Claire felt away from the set. Hoping she has her safe house. Becoming the character must be draining emotionally.
Outlander_STARZ caitrionambalfe Thank you Caitriona!. You are so BRAVE!
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ Caitriona Balfe’s intelligence and passion for Claire’s character and the show as a whole is deep, thoughtful, beautiful and breathtaking, even in those most painful of scenes. She gives so much of herself. Give her all the awards. Give the entire cast and crew all the awards.
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ I enjoyed what I read, thank you.
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ It's rape ffs. Stop making it pretty. Just stop. What is the matter with you
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ She’s an exceptional human being and a powerhouse talent ❤️👏❤️👏
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ A tour de force performance by Balfe! The way in which the story was told speaks to how the mind can use escapism - in this case, a highly stylized series of scenes for coping with the brutality! The final scene was soulful and beautiful. “Never My Love” perfect musical choice.
Outlander_STARZ caitrionambalfe Very indelible performance. For any one person to go through that is shattering. For 3 characters in the same family is undescribable but yet that’s going to form their bond that much tighter.
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ This is a very good interview and she is just so stunning in the pictures!
caitrionambalfe Outlander_STARZ Claire finally begins to unravel from the effects of PTSD in the books but not before suffering even more trauma. This alone would be enough to push most people over the edge. Can she please have a reprieve in Season 6?
Outlander_STARZ caitrionambalfe Impactante y poderosa actuación , gracias Caitriona por tan bella interpretación 🙌🏻
Outlander_STARZ caitrionambalfe Just acting the part really has an impact on her. But nothing like really having it happen to you.💙❤💕🥃🥃
