A British nurse travels through time into a mysterious world and the only means of survival is to marry a strapping Scots warrior with a complicated past and a disarming sense of humor.
Whatever your feelings of a scene that was controversial in the novel as well as on screen, both Balfe and Heughan play it well, with Balfe especially convincing in Claire's humiliation the next day.
What's left at the core is something far more satisfying: The evolution of Claire and Jamie Fraser's relationship into something resembling a modern marriage.
It's been a long frigid winter without Jamie Fraser warming our hearts -- and loins. So how lovely for showrunner Ron Moore to end the Droughtlander with a premiere told from the point of view of the hot Scot!
