In this episode of Outlander Cast, we dive into your listener feedback for Outlander Season 8, Episode 5, “Send for the Devil.” And the verdict from the fandom is pretty clear: Buck MacKenzie is having a moment, nobody trusts Amaranthus, Ben showing up alive blew that whole subplot open, and a whole lot of viewers are feeling like this final season can somehow be both overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time.
We also get into your thoughts on Claire and Elspeth’s tense scene, Roger’s battlefield material, the season’s structure, and some wonderfully unhinged theories about Jamie’s ghost, Faith, Cleveland, and what all of this could mean for the back half of Season 8.
