Mary & Blake discuss everything YOU had say about to Outlander episode 7.13 - Hello Goodbye.

In this episode, we discuss overall enjoyment, then dive into listener feedback covering diverse perspectives - praise for character badassery, criticism of a "cringy" love scene, and mixed reactions to wedding scenes. Discussing historical context and moral complexities of certain characters, we also recount Mary's humorous birthing class anecdote highlighting Blake's struggles. Key topics include pacing, cohesion, adaptation challenges, and Mary's clever hot chocolate analogy. Plus we have a little love for The Leftovers. 

Also in this episode:

• We discuss the unique and endearing relationship between characters Ian and Rachel.
• Some listeners expressed discomfort or criticism around certain storylines, such as the length and believability of the Ian and Rachel wedding night scene, as well as confusion over the resolution of the Jerry McKenzie storyline for show-only viewers.
• The historical context and moral complexities surrounding characters like Lord John and William, who were slave owners, acknowledging the importance of understanding the time period.
• Mary shared a humorous personal anecdote about attending a birthing class with Blake, highlighting the awkward and uncomfortable moments they experienced.
• Listeners provided feedback on the cohesion and pacing of the episode, with some feeling it was more scattered compared to previous episodes with interwoven plotlines.
• We're encouraged to read the novella "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hollows" to better understand the Roger and his father storyline, and mentioned a two-part study on the topic available on their YouTube channel.
• We expressed hope for better cohesion and more satisfying storytelling in future episodes, while also discussing the importance of letting some mysteries remain unsolved, referencing the theme song from the show "The Leftovers."
• The podcast concluded with a playful reference to the song "Let the Mystery Be" by Iris Dement, emphasizing the theme of mystery and intrigue in Outlander.
