Outlander fans left puzzled as they spot multiple 'inconsistencies' ahead of final season
Outlanders fans flocked to Reddit to voice their concerns about one particular storyline surrounding Murtagh Fraser. Outlander's highly anticipated eighth and final season is looming with the show expected to air in late 2025 or early 2026. However, while the excitement is building for the grand finale, some die-hard fans are still hung up on previous plot "inconsistencies" surrounding their favourite characters which have left them puzzled. Fans rushed to the social media site Reddit to voice their concerns with the storyline surrounding Jocasta Cameron and Murtagh Fraser's romantic reunion. In the Starz show, the pair develop a romantic relationship despite the fact that Murtagh is supposed to be madly in love with Ellen, Jocasta's sister. This relationship is hugely different from what happens in the original Outlander books, written by Diana Gabaldon. In the novels, Murtagh actually dies at Culloden but in the series, he lives and his story continues, which is when his relationship with Jocasta develops. Murtagh eventually dies at the Battle of Alamance in the fifth season, the Irish Star reports. One fan took to Reddit to remark: "I would give myself a headache if I stopped to consider all of the inconsistencies they never thought about. Bless you for having the stomach for it. "That said, the the whole Jocasta/Murtagh 'reunion' when he brought Brianna to River Run made no sense. "Murtagh was a Fraser and wouldn't have been in the habit of hanging out at Leoch, but he attended the Gathering where he tried to court Ellen. Jocasta was already married off and gone by then. They never would have met before." A second echoed: "Maybe Murtagh visited Miss Fitzgibbons." A third replied: "Not impossible, but it wouldn't explain Jocasta acting like he's her long lost love." A fourth agreed: "Yes, her remembering his hands sounded as if they grew up together." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

A fifth chimed in: "Even once Jocasta was married I suppose she still could have gone to the Gathering or otherwise visited her sister Ellen? "Jamie identifies him as a Fraser by surname but his aunt by marriage Mrs. Fitzgibbons is at Leoch. "When we met him he's traveling/living with the MacKenzies intermittently. "While obviously that's for Jamie's benefit, none of the other men behave as though he's an outsider or a guest at Leoch's table, to the point that Claire has to be told he's not just another Leoch MacKenzie. "I always assumed he had some marginal connection to the Leoch MacKenzies like a grandparent." In other news, several Outlander stars have joined forces for a new venture just last month.

Muslim Scholars Gathering in Lebanon Commends Yemeni People's Solidarity with Palestine
Beirut - (Saba): The Muslim Scholars Gathering in Lebanon praised the honorable turnout of the Yemeni people in the mass demonstrations held on Friday in the capital, Sana'a, and across the provinces, affirming their solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people in the face of the Zionist enemy and the genocide being committed in the Gaza Strip. In a statement, the Gathering said: "Here are the authentic Arab masses of the Yemeni people, who uphold true Muhammadan Islam, taking to the streets in the millions to express their solidarity with Gaza. They reject American dictates and support the Palestinian people—not just in words, but through hypersonic ballistic missiles raining down on strategic sites in the Zionist entity, particularly Ben Gurion Airport, forcing hundreds of thousands of settlers to seek shelter for extended hours. This has dealt a severe blow to waves of Jewish immigration to Palestine, turning them into mass reverse migration movements out of the Zionist entity, which has now become unsafe and fraught with danger." Commenting on recent developments and U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to the region, the Gathering stated: "Iran alone in the region dares to say 'no' to American tyranny, as expressed by its President Masoud Pezeshkian, who said: 'We are advocates of peace, but we will not bow to any power and will not surrender.' His words reflect the views of the overwhelming majority of the peoples of our Islamic nation, the free people around the world, and the resistance movements in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq that oppose Zionist aggression."
