Outlander 8.06 Listener Feedback — The Women Are Strong, The Men Are Just Sort Of There

In this episode of Outlander Cast, Mary & Blake go through your listener feedback for Outlander Season 8 Episode 6, "Blessed Are the Merciful." And yes — a few clear themes emerged. A lot of listeners felt this was the strongest episode of the season so far, with huge praise for Jamie giving the land to the wives, Rachel's emotional strength, and the show finally feeling a little more like old-school Outlander again. At the same time, there was one near-universal opinion: the Roger and Bree sex scene did not work for basically anyone. We also get into: why Hiram Crombie might actually be the original bad penny why Rachel won a lot of people over in this episode why Swiftest of Lizards and Rollo's grandpuppy stole hearts why some listeners think the women carried the whole hour and why the fandom is very much still side-eyeing Amaranthus Plus: voicemails from all over, a great theory about Master Raymond, one delightful challenge about convincing a new viewer to keep watching Outlander, and a whole lot of love from the Nerd Clan. Spoiler warning: this episode contains full spoilers for Outlander Season 8 Episode 6, "Blessed Are the Merciful." We are spoiler free for the books, but not for the TV series. Slàinte Mhath.
