Outlander
Outlanderseason 7 ended with a plot of ground winding that never pass in the books , and the series has already plant up more such changes for season 8 . The upcoming installment will be the last of the Starz series , so it will be up to these installment to tie up any loose ends . Unfortunately , Outlanderis running unawares on beginning cloth because writer Diana Gabaldon ’s book series is n’t yet complete . While it can be go for that Starz collaborate with Gabaldon to ensureOutlanderends similarly to her translation , previous change hint that this was never the plan .
Though theOutlanderTV show has skip over dozens of minor ( and some not - so - minor ) storyline from the books , it has remained largely close to the source . Most variety that happened were for contraption but did n’t have a larger impact on the overall plot . This all change with thefinale ofOutlanderseason 7 . The reveal that Faith Fraser might have lived never happen in Gabaldon ’s novel , bring into question what other changes will be made inOutlanderseason 8 . This is also a speck thatsome ofOutlander ’s more minor change could turn out to be far more important .
The Outlander TV Show Already Changed The Books' Fraser Prophecy
The Two Versions Both Lead To Brianna - But They Are Drastically Different
One of the strangerchanges theOutlanderTV show madehappened back in season 3 . In the book , Geillis Duncan learned of a divination that take thatsomeone from the Frasers of Lovat would become the next Scotch ruler . Jamie ’s grandfather was the Lord of Lovat , and , at the time , Brianna Fraser was the last of that line . It was for this reason that Geillis put her focus on Claire ’s daughter and in the end fulfill her remainder . However , this go totally differently inOutlanderseason 3 .
In the TV show version of the story , Geillis found someone to make a vaticination about who the next Scots top executive would be , and it was determined thattheir indistinguishability could only be reveal keep up the death of a 200 - year - old baby . Like the playscript , this prophecy led Geillis to Brianna because she was believe in the 18th one C but carry in the 20th . Everything came out the same in the closing . Claire killed Geillis , and the prophecy was left to be resolved afterward in the series . However , thanks to the change , such a resolution will have to be dissimilar inOutlanderseason 8 than in the books .
The Fraser Prophecy Change Hints At A Dark Ending For Brianna’s Story
Brianna Will Have To Die For Answers
TheOutlanderTV show likely changed the contingent of the prophecy so that Claire would be fully justified in murdering Geillis . However , it ’s interesting to study the show writers ' overarching plan here . The two versions of the divination both involve Bree , but they are different to the point that Gabaldon ’s resolution for this plotline would essentially be impossible for the show to draw in off . Additionally , Starz’sOutlanderset this up soaudiences could only get an reply if Brianna cash in one’s chips — and that ’s certainly not something that anyone wants to see pass .
Of course , it ’s possible that , as is typical with prophecies , the language here are somewhat misleading .
Brianna dying may somehow reveal the identity of the next Scotch king , but it would also be devistating for about everycharacter ofOutlander . Of of course , it ’s possible that , as is typical with prophecy , the words here are somewhat misleading . Brianna may be destined to pass , but this does n’t of necessity mean that she has to stay deadened . Or , perhaps answers will come when Brianna dies of former geezerhood . Outlanderis a time change of location serial , after all — eccentric could potentially travel to Brianna ’s future to see the truth . At this point , it ’s anyone ’s guess how season 8 could work this all out — but it sure wo n’t be book canyon .
How Outlander Season 7’s Faith Twist Could Connect To Brianna’s Prophecy
Does Master Raymond Have Something To Do With The Prophecy Too?
Outlanderseason 8 will have a lot of big questions to answer , but it ’s also indispensable that these informal end come together to make a cohesive whole . If Claire ’s divine revelation about Faith Fraser in season 7 ’s end is correct , then there must be an explanation for why Master Raymond withhold the sister . The strange man must be ferment toward a larger plan , which must splice in with Claire ’s overarching story , thus conduct to a substantial serial ending . Since Faith was Claire and Jamie ’s daughter , it would make sentiency if Master Raymond ’s plans also regard Brianna and her prophecy .
Master Raymond is a prehistoric clock time traveler and the ancestor of many other traveler inOutlander.
Geillis Duncan was a fourth dimension travelerwhose primary goal was to put a Scot on the English throne . She was also a likely descendent of Master Raymond — another time traveler who is keen on pull the strings and guiding his various descendants . It’spossible that Geillis terminate up on her mission because of Master Raymond himself . Since this mystic man obviously has a hand in Faith Fraser ’s survival , it seems likely that all of this is connected . Precisely how is a question that onlyOutlanderseason 8 can say for certain .
