Outlander season 5 episode 5 sneak peek: Claire surprises Roger
Take, for example, what we’ve got in the sneak preview HERE! In this video, you can see Roger accidentally surprising Claire while she is out doing some of her duties — he wasn’t expecting her to be awake, and he briefly had his gun pointed at her as a result.
Yet, probably the best moment of the entire preview is what Roger says after the fact — “I probably would’ve missed you, but still.” Brilliant. This is a wonderful little microcosm of what we like so much about Roger as a character. His humility is one of the things that always makes him stand out from the pack, and we also just relate to him at being rather terrible at just about everything related to being a solider. (We’d be just as bad at it, if not worse!)
Of course, we don’t want to get lost just in focusing on Roger’s flaws, given that he does have a skill set that is incredibly underrated. He’s highly intelligence, has a great sense of humor, and socially can be quite adept at resolving conflicts. He’s also incredibly determined, as evidenced from the fact that he survived everything that he went through last season. He’s a fully-formed character who is wrestling with being in a place and time not his own, and he’s trying to do his best to figure out who he is there. None of this is easy, and it’s not going to become any easier soon … especially with the threat of Stephen Bonnet still looming.
