Results: ‘Outlander’ Fans Choose Their Favorite Jamie Fraser Episode
Outlander has been entertaining viewers for seven years and will surely continue to do so with its upcoming seasons on Starz. And while true Fraser fans love all of the romantic drama’s episodes, there are definitely a few standouts when it comes to those highlighting leading man Sam Heughan.
Heughan has delivered time and again as highlander warrior Jamie Fraser, so we asked readers to choose their favorite episode featuring the Scotsman. A tough decision, no doubt, but viewers let their opinions be known in the poll which saw 1,214 fans cast their votes.

The results aren’t entirely surprising as an overwhelming majority selected Season 1’s “The Wedding” with 46 percent of the vote. The episode holds a special place in viewers’ hearts as it marks the beginning of Jamie and Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) marriage. “The Wedding” was also chosen among readers as their favorite overall episode in another poll.
Trailing at 16 percent is the Season 1 finale “To Ransom a Man’s Soul,” followed by Season 2’s finale “Dragonfly in Amber” and Season 1’s “The Reckoning” at 7 percent each. The pivotal Season 3 installment, “Of Lost Things” received 6 percent of the votes followed by Season 5’s “The Ballad of Roger Mac” with 5 percent.
Season 3’s opener “The Battle Joined” earned 3 percent of the vote and “The Birds and the Bees” and “All Debts Paid” each earned 2 percent of the vote, along with the option “I prefer another episode.” Finishing in last place is Season 3’s “Surrender” which followed Jamie’s first years following the Battle of Culloden.

Sam nails every episode with his facial expressions, his gestures, and his delivery of those and his words. He really has nailed his character beyond all expectations. Kudos to a job well done. Outlander is a great series.

I love all things, Sam!! Sam has such an endearing talented acting ability “The Wedding” episode remains my favorite with “A. Malcolm” second, for me Sam evokes all emotions with his commanding scene presents to his heart-warming adorable expressions. I hope every thing he touches turns to “Gold” just like his whisky! 😍🤙🥇

The very first episode of Season One “Sassenach” has a special place in my heart. I could watch it over and over again. I knew nothing about this show when I first started watching it other than the fact that it involved time travel. I was sold the first time that I saw Sam Heughan and he and the show only got better from there.

My favorite is “Sassenach” when Jamie is sitting I front of the fire , his injuries taking a bit of a toll on him, the light cascades over his face , he turns to look at Clair…well.. what more can one say…I was hooked on this show. The storyline, characters, drama, Scottish Highlands, you feel transformed into 1743.

Sam was brilliant in "The Wedding" and "Ransom" but you didn't include his amazing performance in "Monsters and Heroes" from season 5 or season 3's "The Battle Joined" which is also noteworthy.

I think every episode is a credit to the actors who can truly make us believe how brutal life was for the people they portray and what they did just to survive every day.
I think if an actor can make you respect our history then that is the magic and Outlander did that for me to a history I really knew nothing about. THANK YOU
