Outlander (7x08): Turning Points

[mythcreantsblog]

We talk a lot about turning points, where a character overcomes challenges and saves the day. But what if they don’t? Turning points can go in either direction, after all. The downward variety is most common for villains, but it can apply to heroes, too. How do you make sure this sad ending feels earned, whether it’s a minor bump in the road or a permanent end? Is there a way to keep your readers from rioting? The answer is a solid maybe.

Jamie fights in the pivotal Second Battle of Saratoga. Roger and Brianna search for Jemmy.

*It would have been impractical to transport Brigadier General Simon Fraser's dead, un-embalmed, rapidly decomposing body during the long journey across the ocean to Scotland for burial.

Here is a drawing I began planning and sketching a while ago, and today I finally decided to complete it. I've titled the artwork

"The Suffocation of Anakin Skywalker."

I think this piece would look great as a comic cover ;))

708 - Turning Points

(Gross ^)

What a great mid-season finale. Turning points on every level. The opening of Claire rescuing Jamie is a great adaptation of the book scene. I think Claire was just about scared to death. And after that, well, I always enjoy their banter.

Aren't Denzel and Rachel the sweetest?

Jamie keeps his finger and we still get their lovely conversation. It's a very agreeable compromise as I'd much rather budget be spent elsewhere than on making Jamie have four fingers for the remaining season and a half.

Roger and Brianna's storyline is just right. I really like them in the future. Brianna is truly "Louis's giraffe" in the past. I cannot wait to see if they include anything from "A Leaf in the Wind of All Hallows'" or a certain woman from season one in Roger and Buck's adventures to come. (Trying really hard to say this without spoilers here.)

Rachel and Ian seem to be progressing rather fast, but they are adorable so okay. And we finally get the little hand hold that I've been waiting for all season. <3

Welcome Benedict Arnold. Too bad you're so likable.

Another brutal and excellent battle. Jamie leading the charge, interesting cinematography, and point-of-view. You feel as if you are there. Not only that, but using the battle to highlight what General Fraser and William mean to Jamie elevates what could have been a simple action sequence. And finally, we get to see exactly why Rachel is worried about Ian as husband to a Quaker. Kudos. Roses. It is just wonderful.

The scenes around General Fraser's death are also lovely.

Mr. Bug, so creepy.

Oh goodness, the ending! The music, the emotion. It brought tears to my eyes. I want to dish out compliments but I am honestly just basking in it. Scotland!

And finally, one little shout out to the costume designer, Trisha Biggar. The costumes have such rich and varied textures this season. They are detailed and layered. I couldn't help but notice them.

I am honestly a little upset that we won't see the second half of the season until 2024. Can you really call such a long hiatus the same season? Whatever. I'm looking forward to it, and until then I have Men in Kilts to hold me over (yes, I know that was their diabolical plan).

Until then, I hope the back half of 2023 brings you lots of joy.

Love,

I don't know what exactly I'm waiting for to happen or I'm just expecting a Sofia-the-First-like turn of events. Could I possibly be a princess... hold on, a prince, a monarch, a king overnight?

[avasetocallmyown]

It was, aye.

Outlander | Jamie & Claire

It was possible to leave things behind—places, people, memories—at least for a time. But places held tight to the things that had happened in them, and to come again to a place you had once lived was to be brought face-to-face with what you had done there and who you had been.

Storytellers love crafting clever solutions for their heroes to use in tough spots, and audiences love to see those solutions in action. A clever solution is both cool and satisfying, showing not only how a character wins but also why they deserve to win. But creating clever solutions is difficult. To make things easier, some authors reach for solutions that seem clever at first but fall apart after examination. Let’s look at some common culprits and explain what’s wrong with them.
