When Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan were promoting Season 5 of, they were asked about what effect their new roles as producers of the show had on the story. At ain February they said we wouldn’t really see their influence till the second half of the season.
"I think as an entire production, we took some real risks this season," Balfe said in agreement."It sounds like we haven’t seen them yet, but it seems like the fact that in season five, we’re taking risks is a really great thing." Well, I’ve been lucky enough to get an early screening of the next four episodes–most of that second half of season 5, including episode 7, which airs today. And I feel like I’m looking at an entirely different show.
There’s still a big battle scene in episode 7,"The Ballad of Roger Mac. There are major turning points for Heughan’s character, Jamie Fraser. A heartbreaking one when a beloved character dies–somethingat the Y panel. A decisive one when Jamie tells off the Governor for his actions and begins to choose a side in the Revolutionary War. There’s a casting surprise and a final tragedy at the end of the episode.But this episode and the others I’ve seen feel much more intimate.
Well, episode 10 is that exactly. There is a chillingly evil bad guy, suspense, and retribution. Much of the action centers on Sophie Skelton who plays Brianna, the Frasers’ daughter, and she does her best work in it., just when you think everything’s gonna be okay, there’s another twist. In the episodes I’ve seen there’s laughter and tears, vengeance, love and loss, and at least at the moment, a satisfying end. But stay tuned—I know I will.
