The whole season has been amazing, and true to the book. The *only episode that fizzled (in my humble opinion) was the Season 2 (DIA) Finale. 90 minutes just wasn't enough time to put emphasis on the events that happened in the book. The Battle of Culloden was mainly skipped over. Other scenes that lacked more detail and time spent, i.e.: when Claire and Jamie part {seriously -I was expecting a long, drawn out parting, and felt robbed of what was such a STRONG part of the book.} Remember "The Wedding" episode? No detail was spared, including time spent focusing on their growing attraction. I would have liked to have seen this same attention to their parting, just before Claire goes back through the stones. Such an utter disappointment. What about the scars they give each other to remember each other? What about the cabin by the stones?? I feel robbed of the best part of the end of the book.
When Roger, Bree and Claire are standing near the stones, and the noise started to howl: In the book, the noise was "deafening," and Roger felt "The pull" of the stones too. They "rushed" this scene too. It could've been so much more...
It just seems like where soooo much much time and detail went into the series, someone thought it was a good idea to cut short on the finale. ~Don't serve the most sumptuous appetizers, and then serve a dainty dinner... It makes no sense.
Overall, the entire series has been extremely true to the books. The sceneries have been lush, and the acting has been top notch! It was brilliant that they brought Diana Gabaldon onto the set for the creation of the the series. So many TV series based on books have been a disappointment, but Definitely not this one.
