They did so by comparing him to Jack Randall, whose depth as a character was expanded tenfold. But this episode, after a bit of a slow start in that department, really did good work finding the right light-dark balance. I’ve always been on the side of making him a Superman-like figure have him be the beacon of light in a time of true dark and be done with it. They couldn’t seem to find the right balance was he Good!Jamie, the one who lives and breathes progressive, feminist ideas? Or is he Bad!Jamie, the man who blames Claire for her near-rape, and his sister for hers as well? He’s veered more than a little wildly between sainthood and the seventh circle, and it’s frankly dimmed some of my enjoyment of the show. One of my main complaints about this half season of Outlander is what kind of character Jamie Fraser is.
