![]() ![]() If season six follows the book story line more closely this go-around, Roger and Bree won’t be thinking “of home” when they travel this time, because the need to get back to the 1970s is more urgent: It has to do with their daughter. It was a huge fake-out that ended up being a waste of everyone’s time. Pulling from A Breath of Snow and Ashes, the show had Roger and Brianna say their good-byes before traveling through the stones back to the future, only for them to come out in exactly the same spot. ![]() One of the most mystifying choices Outlander made in season five was the Roger and Bree time-traveling debacle. Roger and Bree will probably time travel for real. (Oh, and all of the spoilers are here, FYI.) Here, a few of the major ones that could show up on your screen in season six. And anyway, A Breath of Snow and Ashes is, in true Outlander fashion, so incredibly long (the paperback version is over 1,000 pages!) that there’s plenty of story lines to choose from. That’s a good thing! The TV series should be able to surprise people no matter their familiarity with the books. With season five, which was mostly based on Diana Gabaldon’s fifth book in the Outlander series, dipping into book six, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, for some major story lines, the job of predicting what might make the jump from page to screen in season six gets a little tougher. That’s not a knock! Adaptations should be exactly that: based off the source material but not completely bound to it, especially if something makes more or less sense narratively on television than it does in a novel. Out of all the seasons of Outlander, season five looks to have made the most significant book-to-TV changes thus far.
