As the end of Outlander neared I was adamant about one thing, that I didn't think it was right that the show address Jamie's ghost.
For me, I felt that was something that should be explained by Diana, and Diana alone.
Matt, Maril, and others had said several times that they wouldn't be addressing Jamie's ghost in the finale.
I has happy.
I believed them.
I was so very glad that they weren't.
When I watching the finale and we were approaching the end I knew they were going to show Jamie's ghost.
The way the episode was written I knew they were going to despite their assurances to the contrary.
They had to, for the story in the episode to make sense.
I was starting to get angry.
But.
To my utter surprise, I burst into tears.
Tears of happiness.
I loved it.
I loved the whole scene.
They way it drew me back to that very first episode and the way I felt the very first time that we saw Jamie's ghost on screen.
It was beautiful.
It was so very special, to me, seeing Sam as Jamie.
Seeing him looking up at his Claire.
Seeing the tears in his eyes as he heard Frank approaching, knowing what he knew.
Seeing him walk away, heartbroken to leave her, but knowing that he had to let fate do its job, as it had already done so before.
I've always said that it was Jamie's ghost who called Claire to his time, through the stones, to him.
I believe that time isn't a loop as such, but a line that both he and Claire can move along.
They both have one life, one death.
But.
Claire can travel through time, and Jamie can visit various moments in time, along their timeline.
When Jamie died on the battlefield, he went to her.
He knew where she would be.
She had told him herself.
He went to her, in that exact moment, to call her to him, to begin their life together.
A life they they had already lived.
A life he was already living with her.
It was Jamie who triggered the stones.
Stones that would speak to Claire.
Stones that would draw her to his time.
To him.
To begin their life together.
The forget-me-nots were perfect for his wife, a healer and a botanist of sorts.
A gift from her husband who would never forget, and who would wait 200 years in purgatory for her.
Her husband who was waiting for her to join him.
I've always thought that when Jamie looks up and sees Claire for the first time, as she approaches him to fix his shoulder, I've always thought that there is moment of recognition from him with her.
His soul seeing her soul, a moment of relief that she was home, that she was finally there, back with him.
The ghost scene was one of, if not my favourite part of the finale.
The part I hoped, almost demanded, that they shouldn't touch.
To me, the parallels were perfect.
Outlander has always been Jamie's story.
He is the sun with which their universe revolves.
People are drawn to him, to stand in his light.
It is his hand that has guided their fate.
It is his sword that protects them all.
His name.
His clan.
His body.
His soul.
It is his love that binds them all.
But.
Just as importantly, it is Claire's love that SAVES him.
It is Claire's love that SAVED him.
In the beginning.
In the end.
And
In every moment in between.
ALWAYS.
They are who they are because of each other.
One cannot be who they are without other.
They literally defied time and space to BE so.
And, from them, their family grew.
Blood of my blood.
Bone of my bone.
Dinna fash.
There's the two of us now, and always, forever more.

Honestly I hope this story is false and misleading.
Would be very disappointing since they’re both married.
Also would be really damning for Russini as an NFL insider.
#Broncos' Sean Payton among coaches participating in Fanatics Flag Football Classic, March 21, LA's BMO Stadium.
Player lineup includes Tom Brady, Jalen Hurts, Rob Gronkowski, Saquon Barkley, Odell Beckham Jr., Davante Adams, Alvin Kamara, Von Miller, Deebo Samuel, DeVonta Smith, Ashton Jeanty, Logan Paul, Jalen Ramsey. Kevin Hart will be there.
Three, 12-player teams. Two consisting of NFL stars; third will be USA Football’s reigning Flag Football World Champion U.S. Men’s National Team.
outlander fans are devoted… 24 degrees at 9:30 am and based on my count somewhere between 1000 and 1200 fans already in line for tonight’s premiere stretching from 66th and broadway around the block and down again.
