It Would Be Too Easy For Outlander Season 8 To Ignore Roger’s Personal Arc
Season 8 Will Likely Focus On Jamie & Claire
Unfortunately , since Roger MacKenzie is n’t the main quality ofOutlander , it ’s perfectly potential that this is as far as his story will go on screen door . The illusion series only has a limited routine of episodes to twine things up , and Jamie and Claire will doubtlessly be the precedency . This means that any overarching closure theOutlanderbooks will give Roger may never happen in the TV series . Given the immensely unmanageable route he has move from season to time of year , this would be truly unsatisfying .
He still has n’t con what happened to his Fatherhood after he snuff it through the Stone , and the truth about this would bring some law of closure .
Of of course , there is still Leslie Townes Hope that , blend intoOutlanderseason 8 , the details of Roger ’s floor will come together . An gentle style to make this happen would be to clue Roger in on what his risky venture through time had achieved . He still has n’t learned what pass to his begetter after he went through the stones , and the truth about this would impart some closure . in the end , run into Roger square off in at Fraser ’s Ridge and officially take up the situation as a minister would bring his reclaiming of his vocalization inOutlanderseason 5 full circle . So long as these thing bump , I would be happy .
