- In Paris
The backgrounds and Claire's dresses were as good as I expected. All the gardens and rooms were amazing, and Claire's red dress... breathtaking.

Jamie's plot was pretty boring, and I feel like it shouldn't have to be like that. He was at court, minglin with the most important men, and it was a bit meh. I expected more schemes, lies and secrets, but the only thing that entertained me was the King and his problem to go to the bathroom. Can you imagine having a lot of noble men looking at you while you are on the toilet? xD
On the other hand, Claire's plot was more interesting. Her kind of rivalry with the Comte St. Germain, her friendship with Raymond and Mary, her work at L'Hôpital des Anges, losing her baby... Besides the season finale, the episode about her miscarriage (the after) probably was the best of the season. Caitriona was AMAZING. Hands down (Did you know that she used to be a model and that she worked for very important brands like Chanel? I was shocked when I found out!)
Another thing from their time in Paris. They changed the intro, and the lyrics were in French. And I didn't like it. I feel like the English version is more powerful. Maybe because I understand the words? xD The thing is that with the English version I always end up singing, it motivates me a lot, but the French version...
- In Scotland
I must admit that, even though the part in Scotland is the one I have more recent, I don't remember much of it xD I remember Jamie trying to form an army and doing things differently to change history, Angus death (such a pity... I really liked him), the mini heart-attack they gave us when Fergus didn't show up (he was another good thing from Paris, I forgot to mention him earlier)...

And then the season finale. When I saw how long it was, my first thought was: "Ok, this is gonna be about the battle, and knowing how the season has been, it is gonna be boring. You need to be on the right mood to watch it". But it actually was very entertaining! There were a lot of time jumps, and I think they deal pretty well with them. You didn't get lost on the story.
The part in the future was very interesting. I really liked seeing how places where Claire had been in the past had changed through the years. It was so well done!
One thing that I didn't realized until Claire saw it was that Gillian Edgars was actually Geillis Duncan. At first I thought she was someone who looked like her and that would help Claire tell the truth to her daughter. I make theories when they are no needed xD
From the past, the more interesting thing was discovering why and how Claire went back to her time. I was looking forward to it since we saw on the first episode that she was back.
And the cliffhanger. At the end of this season, Brianna (Claire and Jamie's daughter) believes her mother's story after seeing Gillian/Gillies dissapear in Craigh na Dun. Then she tells her mother that Jamie survived at Culloden. And Claire wants to go back. The end.

I am sure we all thought the same things after that scene: Is Brianna going with her and meet her father? If they go back... when will the appear? After the battle? 20 years after? I don't think those stones work as precisely as the TARDIS does xD
And one doubt I have... I remember that in season 1 Frank saw someone that looked like Jamie outside their house. Did Jamie also travell through time? Was it something important that we'll see in the next season?
So those are my thoughts about season 2. Though I really enjoyed the last episode and I am looking forward to season 3, in general it was boring and a bit dissapointing. "Outlander" isn't one of my favourite shows, but I enjoyed watching season 1 and expected a similar level. Now I am thinking about reading the books. I think here we don't have to wait for years as with "A Song of Ice and Fire" xD
