'Outlander' season 4: Crucial and intimate moments that the TV show missed from 'Drums of Autumn'

Brianna giving birth in the presence of her parents was an omission fans are disappointed with, added to the fact that there was fewer sex scenes between Claire and Jamie Fraser

A month-long of 'Droughtlander' has made fans reminisce a lot of 'Outlander' season 4, and while the talks of season 5 suggest that we will be getting more of the Frasers only next year, an option to re-binge on the show and follow up on Diana Gabaldon's book series is always there. Hence fans, who are re-living the 'Outlander' wonderland all over again have pointed out some major differences between the series and the books.

Some omission of the book is granted, but a lot happened in season 4, which was not there in the books, and even more, happens on the books which were not there on TV. Based out of 'Drums of Autumn', the series, however, brought Murtagh Fitzgibbons (Duncan Lacroix) back to life and paired him up with Aunt Jocasta, whose actual lover, at least in the books, was supposed to be a man named Duncan Innes.
