Vlog Of The first episode of Season 3 That's right Here at the Fraser Clan Burrial site, are we about to find out if Jaime
Died in the battle of Culloden? i hope not Claire came here in season two when she was
In to the future again and trying to find out frantically IF Jaime had Survived the battle or not we find out that Actually
Jamie
Probably Had Survived The battle, we don't Know for sure but we think he has i'm pretty sure we're gonna find out today Exactly the
fate of Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and The clansmen. i am standing right in the Middle at the moment of the Culloden battlefield
Which is quite an impressive place i can't believe i've never Been Here before
Every Scottish person should come and learn about this place I'm very glad
Outlander Showed me the light. so this Actually behind me is the memorial for the battlefield and all The People Who died here something
1500 clansmen and members of The Jacobite army died here and were buried here so?
Season two of outlander What we Know is Jamie and claire tried Desperately to avert this
War Because They know in history What Was Likely to happen if the battle Goes ahead They didn't want Jamie
To go to this Battle Because Obviously Bad Things are gonna Happen but
Everything They tried Failed - they tried to Poison Bonnie Prince Charlie but it didn't
Work so they Knew that Jamie Was ultimately going to have to lead the men Out to fight
on to the Battlefield on the Culloden Moor
What happens is they decide to put Claire back for the stones it'S the only way to keep her safe from History
Jamie decides That Is the best option so
They go back to the stones Claire Goes back Through and Jamie Goes on to the battle and
we don't know What then happens and we're gonna find out hopefully in Today's episode i guess the One Big question i think we can
See we've quite a Certainty That Jamie's not gonna die from This war with i guess the one Big question Mark of
The person who in later she died i think might die is Murtagh
Who knows. does he survive this battle/. That's something we're gonna have to wait and see in the episode
I'm really Excited it'S gonna Get Dark soon i need to rush home
Watch This episode and Let's Talk about It as soon As i do
I
I have Just Watched
Episode 1 of Season 3 of Outlander the premiere - i have been moved in so many different Ways by the episode like
Wow. i really want to talk about Culloden, Everybody in scotland Must Go there
Understand What Happened there and Why it Happened i had no idea about the Jacobites and there cause, What They were fighting for
Culloden Battlefield Is a Place Where so many Scottish Clans People died and
It Kicked Off a Whole Load of
Consequences for Scotland and The end of the Clan system and the Deaths and the
Exportation of Many Thousands of scottish People and It Must Be Said That
Culloden Battlefield Is a Memorial site But Not Just a memorial site it is also
A burrial ground, i'll say and It must be respected as such
It a TV program Outlander They were watching but it also
Reflects on true Body or ground and We Need to do that has to be honor but i want to say Thank you to Diana Gabaldon
and Outlander for Giving me the interest and what Was a Really Significant piece of history in Scotland - Without Diana Gabaldon's
Storytelling in
Outlander i would not Have Known anything about this because i had no interest and since They did not teach This history At school i
Had no reason to go back Through It and
Look Up on my own right but following Diana's Stories in Outlander
Fascinated By The real History of What Happened
At Culloden and the whole era with the Jacobites i've not Shown much in this video earlier on but i did a Big tour of
Culloden Battlefield and a Couple of Other interesting Sites That Appeared in Outlander and They will feature in a Vlog right Here on my Channel
Probably Tomorrow But on this episode specifically i wanted to focus on the episode - the battle Joined
What a name and
What an episode and as i Said Guys Have spoilers on us so if you haven't Watched The episode please do switch This off Right?
Now and come back to it when you have Watch the episode this is the discussion for people who have watched the new episode the
New season and
I'm Just so emotional right mow it was so heavy
So intense and i think what did it for me is because i was already feeling quite emotional
following my trip to Culloden Battlefield Like I felt The souls on the ground there i felt Their presence
Their lives.
Just felt like the whole place was still alive and then all of a sudden to be thrust into the picture of the battlefield in
Outlander as It probably would have looked with all the people there dead
It was just really really emotional and tense really really tense guys because there's quite a few moments throughout the episode They were thinking
Jamie How are you gonna Get over this
All the bodies were laid out on the battlefield and People obviously were not all dead and any of those who did breathe or moved
The British Army came along afterwards and killed anyone. There was no quarter given to any man on that battlefield
afterwards no matter what stage of injury
Executed on the field afterwards and of course we see Jamie and a couple of clansmen gathered together into a building
not far away but we know what's gonna happen next
But listen one thing i Just want to talk about right This is really getting to me - Black Jack Randall
It is in this episode that we get a glimpse that Jamie has killed him and
indeed the body of Black Jack Randall in falling on top of Jamie actually
saved his life. i don't think we're given enough context and detail about how that battle ensued. we see a very brief fight
between Jamie and Black Jack Randall but It just kind of passes by in a haze and Black Jack Randall is all of a sudden
dead, and i like I'm left thinking i wanted to see more because of course we saw
Jamie and Black Jack Randall go through so much together
They had a lot of history and we wanted to see that play out - we wanted to see Jamie take his vengeance
and It just didn't happen - It happened very very quick and almost like a puff, Black Jack Randall was suddenly
dead, and you know what, it's not been confirmed yet - we didn't see
exactly how it played out like there was very little context It was Just like a couple of characters were snuffed out - Jamie Manages to get
against all the odds, like he had no chance of surviving. This is the thing that bothers me about this episode slightly
Right, we were not shown explicitly
That Black Jack Randall was dead, we saw
him motionless on top of Jamie but we didn't see he was dead and i'm like thinking is he dead or
is he not dead? we think he's dead but we don't really know
Black Jack Randall Is one of the key characters - i think I can safely say that nobody really likes Black Jack Randall,
But we can all acknowledge he was a very important character in the series - so for any of you Guys have Read the books
You will of course already know the answer to that and hopefully you don't give me any spoilers
What i really really hope now is that that is
revisited. i hope that Jamie
After he comes to his senses, because let's face it he's very very injured at the moment, he goes off the Lallybroch i hope that
When he comes to his senses
He tells us that story of what happened between him and Black Jack Randall and i hope we get that kind of closure because
I feel that's what we're missing at the moment
we're missing closure because it can't Just end like that i feel that it's like almost being robbed away from us, i mean maybe the
subject of Culloden Battle and all the gory details of what actually happened there is just
too much to kind of give any more details and for what Is a fictitious account of it,
Maybe It Just Cannot Be Matched Because of How real The details of Culloden was, like i don't know maybe that is
what it is
And maybe we are just to be left like that. Something doesn't believe that that is the end of
Jack Black Randall - Really Great episode But After coming back From Culloden
I just feel totally drained i guess another couple of things were left hanging Is a lot of the characters from
Season One and two That we've Grown to like, the clan members we don't really know their fate.
we don't know who died on the battlefield yet and
that's what I'm saying like i don't think we can be left like that and also guys the next big thing we're left thinking about
Is Murtagh. What Happened to him, we don't know much, like didn't even appear in it like
He was part of that battle and he would have Been in with Those Other men but like What Happened to Murtagh, we're left hanging.
we cannot be left like that p i think in the next couple of episodes we're gonna see exactly what happened in that battle but Then
of course there's Rupert, he's one of the Characters that we do get a little bit of closure, Rupert is
executed. But also i guess is thinking about real life Bonnie Prince Charlie i don't know much about Bonnie Prince Charlie but i want to
want to learn more after what i've seen
Through Outlander and Obviously going to the battle of Culloden and he would've had a lot to answer for he came to the battlefield it's
such an important stage of the war he sent his troops off and bizarre missions
tired them out, they didn't get fed and ultimately It was his
decisions that lost all those people's lives i think here in Scotland we've got a bit of a love-hate relationship with Bonnie Prince charlie i
Like a lot of scottish people supported the Bonnie Prince Charlie cause and obviously took up arms
for him, they helped him get into scotland raised an army and
then after Culloden they gave everything they could to make sure that Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped. People gave their lives
to help Bonnie Prince Charlie get away. i do feel that the first
premiere episode ;eaves us with far more
questions than it does answers i Guess That's Good Because it's a series and we're gonna Find out in
Forthcoming episodes What Actually Happened i Just think it's Been done so so well like obviously Within the story of Diana Gabaldon Books but
Transferred onto Screen and outlander The TV series i think it's Just Been done so so well
Many Of The historic facts have Been Very Very accurate i don't know i am
Totally Gripped i Just Think it's a Brilliant Show for what it's done to
Scotland in Terms of Bringing People Into scotland getting incredible in terms of being a Scotsman and Actually getting some
Historical Context i think it's Been incredible it's Given me a little taste and a desire to learn more about scottish History
and Hopefully a Lot more People in scotland Will Feel The same but Yeah we wait
For The Next episode Now who have a Deep sense of
Anticipation i cannot Wait for the Next episode and the rest of The season to play Out It was so great to go to chordoma
And do a Little Bit
Exploring Myself The Place Where this episode Actually Kicks off and as i Say That Next episode and his vlog is going to be from
Culloden and another Little surprise for You so i hope You Enjoy it if any of you Guys ever Get the opportunity to go to
Culloden Whether You want to learn about the Whole Outlander side of it or not
It's such an important place to go i really felt the spirits on that more were alive and were present Among Us
Like That's not something i say Lightly It was Just such an
Atmospheric eerie, eerie
Place and of Course we Know how Horrific that Battle was but Other Than that i've Got a lot Better news for you
