Outlander Season 5: Claire is tempting fate and bringing history forward

It’s time for the 10-second Claire GIF in the individual Outlander Season 5 promotion. Claire takes a stand for family by bringing history forward.

Do you remember in Outlander Season 2 when Murtagh said that he wouldn’t wish the knowledge of the future on anyone? Well, maybe sometimes, the knowledge of the future is a good thing. For Claire in Outlander Season 5, it offers some benefit. She’s able to take a stand for family by bringing history forward.

That’s what the latest individual character promotion is all about. The 10-second GIF shows a strong woman making it clear that she knows she’s tempting fate. Her actions are dangerous, but she’ll be damned if space and time will stop her from keeping the people around her safe.

For much of Outlander Season 5, her focus is going to be on improving the medicine offered on the Ridge. She can’t change much elsewhere, but she doesn’t want people close to her suffering any more than they have to. Part of that means finding out what’s killed them, and that means performing autopsies in a time when it would have been viewed as a sin. It also means bringing history forward to create penicillin for those with infections.

It’s a dangerous decision for Claire and her family. If the wrong people find out what she’s doing, she could be viewed as a witch. However, she’s willing to take that risk. She’s even going to dare history to stop her. It’s not going to stand a chance. Those with the Fraser blood might be stubborn, but so is she.

This promo is an excellent way to get us ready for Claire’s story. It’s an understandable progression in her story, too, as she knows she needs to do everything she can to keep her family and friends safe. That includes all those who live on Fraser’s Ridge. She made an oath to save people and while it may not be around in the 18th century, she’s going to keep it.

The next promo will be in a couple of days and will be the 40-second or so video that includes some clips of the fifth season. I can’t wait to see what STARZ has chosen for Claire’s story.
