Summary
In this episode of Outlander Cast, Mary and Blake react to listener feedback for Outlander Season 8 Episode 4, "Muskets, Liberty, and Sauerkraut." The fandom is clearly split: some listeners thought this was the best episode of the season so far, while others agreed with Blake that it felt more like a setup hour than a true turning-point episode. Along the way, Mary and Blake get into the big Fergus/Comte reveal, Buck's return, the Claire/Fanny/Faith thread, William and Amaranthus making everybody uncomfortable, and Roger once again finding himself in chaos. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
This is one of those great feedback episodes where the full Outlander community really shows up. There are reactions from book readers, show watchers, longtime listeners, first-time callers, and listeners from all over — including Scotland, Portugal, Norway, Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania, and more. If you want a real cross-section of how people are feeling about Episode 4, this is the one. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
