As they come for Jamie he does as he always does, tries to fight back. ![]() MacQuarrie is still squirming his neck did not break cleanly so he dangled briefly before death. Then our dashing, yet very dirty, hero is called. Atta boy!!! Get one last insult in before you lose the chance. Taran MacQuarrie was called as the third man we have the pleasure (said in all sarcasm) of seeing stretched at the end of a rope. Who knew a prison had a hanging express lane, how ghastly. Now, seriously, what prison has their gallows on repeat?! The noose is just pulled back to the top and set for another neck. Chains on the hands and feet pretty much keep you unable to do anything, heavy iron shackles complete the ‘lovely’ set, along with the beautiful markings they provide on the skin at the wrists and ankles. Standing there in torn, filthy, shabby clothes, bare feet, and given the size of the prison, no hope of escaping this one. Just another lovely day at Wentworth right?! They’re discussing what it will be like for them when their judgments are carried out. The opening scene has Jamie ( Sam Heughan) and Taran MacQuarrie (Douglas Henshall) watching other prisoners get hanged. But our heroin is going to give it her all. We open to a wide shot of the outside of the prison, a very huge and imposing place as you can imagine, and completely inescapable. Some things you will need to experience for yourself to get the full understanding. I warn you now I do not have the words of description to adequately convey this episode in all aspects, nor the next one which is the season finale. Because I love these characters so much, there was a little “don’t destroy my beloved family member” thrown in for good measure. It was more akin to the ‘horror movie’ feeling I usually get before one starts. I approached this episode, and have to say the next one too, with a fear that I have never had while watching a TV series. The phrase “burned into my retina” never was more fitting. But watching them performed before you on the TV screen is entirely another thing. What occurs.well, most people cannot put a visual to even seeing the words in print. Reading about them in the book is one thing. As I contemplated this week’s recap I thought, some things just can’t be unseen. We are at Wentworth Prison! For those of you who have not read the books, there is no way you can brace yourself sufficiently for what is going to happen. Why are there issues of women having children and deciding how many kids to have prior to contraception (practicality) and against the societal norms of the time (reality)? This is just BS that really destroys the viewing experience.Sam Heughan in ‘Outlander’ season 1 episode 15 (Photo © 2014 Sony Pictures Television Inc)įor anyone who has read the Outlander books, this next series of events is going to be the hardest to get through. Unsurprisingly, this series is based on a book series so the story has already been written but the script writers are just directed to write inappropriate 21st century views on society and force them into the 16th century. In the middle of the season there are 2 back to back episodes which consist of little more than each character having a cry about his or her mental or physical issues. What started off as a riveting drama series set in a time travel enabled world has degenerated into a horrible melodramatic soapy set in the 15th century with frequent, near pointless, flashbacks to the 20th century. The first 3 seasons were quite good and the 4th season fell away sharply and even further in this, the fifth season.
