Trivia

In this episode Lizzy says that it is a good day for dyeing (referring to the fabric). This may be a nod to series developer Ronald D. Moore's past work on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Moore is credited for writing the third season teleplay for the episode "Sins of the Father," in which the oft-used Klingon saying "Today is a good day to die" is spoken for the first time.

Quotes

Jamie Fraser: Bonnet's crimes are unforgivable. Better we rid this earth of him, that he may never harm another being. There's a fine line between a monster and a hero.

User Reviews

Outlander no longer an exciting story about time travel and the past

Season 5 is off. There's less action and more slowed down storytelling. It turned into the type of show I dont normally watch with more emphasis this season on family, babies, bonding etc. and less on exciting adventures.
