Finally, a Final Season 3 Outlander Sunday Seven

Finally!  Have you forgotten all about  Outlander?  What’s it been?  A month and a half since Outlander’s season 3 ended?  Longer?  Blame some of it on my goddamn 2-week cable outage!  Well, at least part of it.  Onward!

Sunday Seven’s Saturday Edition of Outlander 302

I will miss you next season, Anne!  Your scripts are wonderful.   So here are my thoughts for
