After four and a half episodes of tragic plot twist after tragic plot twist, I was perfectly fine with a a Batman-themed break in the tension before I knew Jamie was going to be swooning into a cliffhanger of sorts.
It was a choice that certainly took me by surprise, although not in a bad way.
Of course, Jamie did pass out after reuniting with Claire in the Voyager book, but there was no saying if the show would adapt that particular element of the story directly.
Yes, Claire took to chopping up some raincoats to sew a 18th century dress while the notoriously catchy “nah nah nah nah Batman!” song played over the scene, and it was definitely an unexpected choice for a show that kicks off every week with a lovely version of “The Skye Boat Song.”
