'Outlander': We are worried about what season 5 holds for the show's beloved characters

Season 4's conclusion was far from consoling. As we look for answers in what season 5 has in store, here is what we'd like to see addressed in the upcoming season.

'Outlander' season 4's conclusion was not necessarily everything we hoped for. Yea, there was Brianna Fraser (Sophie Skelton) and Roger Mackenzie's (Richard Rankin) reunion, but that appeared a rather forceful happy-ending than anything else. The bitter part came in like a wrecking ball when Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) was ordered by Governor Tryon (Tim Downie) to build an army and kill Murtagh Fitzgibbons (Duncan Lacroix), Jamie's beloved godfather. 

Even before Roger could enter River Run and get a reaction from the Frasers, the credits rolled and that was that - the beginning of 'droughtlander.' The good news is the time-traveling series based out of Diana Gabaldon's books have been renewed for two more seasons, 5 and 6, but the sad news is we don't know when they are premiering.
