Sam should win a special prize for his performance, it felt so realistic.
As far as I'm concerned, this final episode was the best one, it was so deep, intense and altogether heartbreaking, but it's worthy: it leaves you something much more different than the other TV series' trivial end. Sad and dark of course, but still with a sense of warmness for the love which Jamie proves for Claire, protecting her, despite what happens to him. It is nothing excessive or dreadful, utterly bearable because each scene conveys the pain that Jamie is going through. Touching, unique. My best compliments: it couldn't have been any better. Outlander deserves much more fame and attention. Brilliant.
I'm looking forward reading the books.

I just started watching this series and have loved it. But I found this particular episode very hard to watch. The actors did an amazing job but I didn't need to see the graphic sex scenes in the prison to appreciate what Jamie was going through. Sometimes less is more, especially in this case. It seemed to me that those who wrote and produced these explicit scenes were looking to tantalize the audience, which to me is the wrong emotion to elicit.
The season 1 finale was okaokay, they showed a bit to much, it was unneeded due to the hints and making it all very clear what was gonna happen we did not need to see a lot of it to know what happened so yeah weak finale
They complain about the rape and in got it happened all the time and nobody said anything that hypocrites and with that the episode is bad?
Jamie is very traumatized. Obviously for all that horrible experience that he lived.

Blown away by the performances of this episode. Scary, brutal and amazing episode.

- TriviaThe prison scenes were filmed in order, with only Sam Heughan and Tobias Menzies on set. Both cast and crew described the shoot as 'exhausting', emotionally draining, and 'very hard to watch'.
- GoofsOver the course of several scenes, Jamie's injured hand goes from severely mangled to merely covered with blood and back again. This is likely the result of the scene using several prosthetic hands as well as Sam Heughan's own hand covered in make-up and fake blood.
