Outlander Season 7 Needs to Stop Trying to Scare Us with Jamie's Death; It Won't Work

With Outlander's midseason finale still a week away, viewers are left to ponder the nail-biter that was the end of Episode 7, 'A Practical Guide For Time Travelers.' During the First Battle of Saratoga, Jamie Fraser was badly injured and left face down and covered in blood on the battlefield.

Not only that, but the promo for the upcoming Episode 8 shows Claire finding Jamie and turning him over to see that he looks pale and dead. But can this really scare viewers, let alone fans?

If Starz is trying to send the Outlander fandom into a panic over the death of Jamie, then this is a really weak attempt at it. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Jamie will be alive and well by the end of the first part of Season 7, and even for the next two years or more.

Part 2 of Season 7 is expected to premiere sometime in 2024, and the final Season 8, which has already been officially announced by the network, will be released in 2025 or later. Could Outlander survive a season and a half without its main character?

Let's face it, the handsome Scottish Highlander and the crush of millions is one of the main reasons why Outlander is so popular. And killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is not the Hollywood way.

On top of that, Jamie has had a near-death experience in almost every season so far, from the horrifying Wentworth Prison episode to the poisonous snake bite. It's been on the lips of fans and characters alike that Jamie, like a cat, has nine lives. So at this point, even the most emotional fans have their last nerve cell armored in metal when it comes to Jamie's fate. We all know that Claire is not going to let her husband die. Not ever.

And if you are still not reassured, Starz ruined its own cliffhanger with the official synopsis, which clearly states that Jamie will be well enough to fight in the Second Battle of Saratoga in the upcoming episode. So, after all, you have nothing to worry about.
