Outlander is heading into its final season, and the next few episodes are all set to create a profound full-circle moment. As a time travel fantasy series, there are a variety of significant ways that Outlander You can retroactively create connections within your own story. As the TV show nears its end, time is running out for these connections to resolve the mysteries from earlier in the series. However, as you look at the characters' places over time, it slowly becomes clear how Outlander the events of season 1 could be tied to the time travel adventures of season 7 or 8.
One of the most intriguing aspects OutlanderThe story of is the way time travel manipulated the events of the characters' lives. For example, Brianna went back in time to stop Claire and Jamie from dying in a house fire, but ended up being the cause of the fire. Likewise, Roger went back in time in search of his son, Jemmy, but ended up introducing his ancestors, Geillis Duncan and Dougal MacKenzie, thus ensuring his own existence in the future. These were all accidents, but there is reason to believe that Outlandercharacters eventually learn to use these paradoxes to their advantage.
Outlander should reveal the origin of the Forget-Me-Nots in Craigh Na Dun
These flowers drew Claire to the standing stones
Back there Outlander In the first season, Claire took a little trip to Craigh na Dun alone as she wanted to collect the forget-me-not flowers she noticed growing there the night before. Bluebuttons are not native to Scotland, which is why Claire was so intrigued for them. She was curious to know where they came from and how they were planted in such a spiritual and symbolic place. Of course, that's when Claire slipped down the rocks and landed for the first time in the 18th century to meet Jamie – and his Outlander the adventure has begun.
There are no forget-me-nots planted at Craigh na Dun in the past, meaning they were planted there sometime between the 18th and 20th centuries. If they weren't there, Claire would never have traveled through time to begin with.meaning characters like Brianna and her children would never have been born. It seems likely that whoever planted the forget-me-nots in a place where they really shouldn't be knew this. The question of “Who“has been a remarkable mystery in Outlanderand since the flowers started Claire's journey, it makes sense for Season 8 to end things with an explanation.
Brianna and Roger's children are the perfect characters to plant these important flowers
Claire's own grandchildren may have planted the forget-me-nots
Any of the time travelers from Outlander could technically plant the forget-me-nots and Craigh na Dun to ensure that Claire would eventually visit the stone to collect some. However, perhaps the characters best suited for this are Brianna and Roger's children, Jemmy and Mandy. These two have been the most immersed in time travel since they were born in the 18th century and raised between then and the 20th century. Jemmy and Mandy MacKenzie also have the deepest connection to the forces that have existed since they are the children of not just one, but two time travelers.
There is something deeply magical about Jemmy and Mandy. They share a psychic connection and are intimately aware of the power of the stones and the ley lines that connect them. It seems likely that, of their family, Jemmy and Mandy would be the best at time travel. Claire, Brianna and Roger haven't yet learned how to time jump, but these kids can master the art of traveling through rocks. If they do, they could determine the perfect time to plant forget-me-nots in Craigh na Dunthus ensuring that grandmother begins her adventures at the right time.
Other possible answers to this full-circle Outlander mystery
Who else could have brought Claire to Standing Stones?
While Outlander appears to be setting up Jemmy and Mandy to become important figures in time travel, thus suggesting that they will be the ones to plant the forget-me-nots, there could be other explanations. Outlander Audiences have been sharing theories since the first season, and several make a lot of sense. Some guessed that Claire herself will plant the forget-me-nots to ensure she travels through time, perhaps after Jamie's possible premature death in Outlanderis ending. Others suggested that Jamie would plant the flowers after Claire's death, appropriately sending a message to his wife in the future to not forget him.
Others suggested that Jamie would plant the flowers after Claire's death, appropriately sending a message to his wife in the future to not forget him.
