Ranking the 15 best Roger moments from the whole of Outlander Season 5
Roger certainly had some major development throughout Outlander Season 5. He’s come a long way since being the professor at an English university. By the end of the season, he admits that he’s home in the past.
But it took a while to get there. Roger had to go on a journey that involved him almost losing his life. He had to find himself again after losing a major part of him.
Yet, we got a season full of growth. It’s important to empathize with who he is. While we want our characters to just accept what life is throwing at them, that’s not realistic. Roger is a man of his own time and never had plans to remain in the past. He’s always wanted to return to what he thought is home but stayed for Bree and Jemmy.
With the journey, there were some excellent moments. It’s time to break down the 15 best Roger moments throughout Outlander Season 5.
15. Episode 10: Mercy or to make sure?
Roger gets a lot of flack for asking questions. However, we have to remember that he’s a historian. He wants to learn and understand, and that can mean asking some inappropriate questions at time.
At the end of Outlander Season 5, Episode 10, Roger took Brianna to Bonnet’s execution. He waited while she shot Bonnet to he didn’t have to drown. Was it an act of mercy or just to make sure this monster was dead? That’s something we were all wondering, and something Roger decides to question.
He doesn’t get an answer. And my favorite part of this moment was how Roger just accepted that. He didn’t push Bree for an answer, showing that he has grown considerably over the seasons.
