When Does Season 5 Of Outlander Come Out
Let's talk about Outlander. Specifically, Season 5. Remember that? Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?
The Great Season 5 Wait: A Collective Trauma
Seriously, when did Season 5 of Outlander actually come out? Was it a fever dream? Did we all collectively imagine it?
Trying to pinpoint the release date feels like trying to herd cats. Or maybe trying to understand Jamie Fraser's motivations at 3 AM.
Must Read
It was February 16, 2020, in the US. Doesn't that feel like a different dimension entirely?
Why Does It Feel So Distant?
Okay, here's my unpopular opinion. Season 5 was… fine. Good, even. But did it have the same oomph as, say, Season 1? I think not.
Don't get me wrong, Sam Heughan is always a treat. And Caitriona Balfe is a queen. But something felt… different.
Maybe it's because we were all so hyped up. The anticipation was real. So, when it finally arrived, it just couldn't quite live up to the impossible standards we set.
The Blame Game (Kind Of)
I'm not blaming the actors, writers, or anyone involved. Making a show this epic is incredibly difficult.
Perhaps the issue was the source material? Some storylines are just stronger than others, right?
Let's be honest, some episodes had us reaching for the fast-forward button. I said it. Someone had to!
Is It Worth Rewatching?
Absolutely! Even if it wasn't the strongest season, there are still plenty of reasons to revisit Season 5.
We get more Brianna and Roger. We see Jamie struggling with his loyalties. And the costumes, as always, are stunning.
Plus, it's Outlander! Even a slightly less amazing season is still better than most things on TV.
So, What's the Point?
The point is, time flies. And sometimes, our memories play tricks on us.
Season 5 might feel like a distant memory, but it happened. We survived. And now we're eagerly awaiting more adventures in Scotland (or wherever the Frasers end up next).
Maybe this is all just an elaborate excuse to rewatch the whole series. Yeah, that's probably it.
Final Thoughts (and Mild Sarcasm)
So, mark your calendars (or just Google it). Season 5 premiered in February 2020. Now, the real question is, when can we get more Jamie in a kilt?
Seriously, Starz, we're waiting. And we're not getting any younger (or more patient).
Until then, I'll be over here rewatching Outlander and pretending I'm actually in 18th century Scotland. Don't judge me.
