Better to Marry Than Burn Ratings & Reviews
Decider
Jennifer Still
Jotagh/Murcasta (please someone come up with a better name for this) is the best relationship on this show - yes, I went there - despite the fact that we've seen so little of it. Now the 'ship has sunk before it ever truly set sail.
Outlander TV News
Sarah Ksiazek
While I will revel in Jamie and Claire's bits, the episode belongs to Maria Doyle Kennedy as the writer expanded both Jocasta's past and present for such a wonderous actress to do what she does best.
Tell-Tale TV
Alicia Gilstorf
At the end of the day, it feels right that Jocasta is the star of this episode. After-all, this is her wedding.
Culturess
Molly Catherine Turner
This week's episode of Outlander is one of the better ones this season, providing a moving backstory for Jocasta on the eve of her wedding.
Syfy Wire
Carly Lane
I must admit that when this show is firing on all cylinders - all those emotional, heart-wrenching cylinders - it really knows how to deliver a solid episode, and this week's was a winner as far as I'm concerned.
indieWire
Amber Dowling
Seeing Claire and Jamie cop a feel in the stables was as much a stress relief for them as it was for fans.
AV Club
Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
"Better to Marry Than Burn" nestles some compelling Jamie and Claire relationship stuff amid its plotlines, but there's a general lack of cohesion and urgency.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
It's often the unlikely love stories that have the greatest impact, and that's the case with Jocasta and Murtagh. They should never have fallen in love, so knowing how deeply they feel for each other makes their inability to be together tougher to bear.
Den of Geek
Amanda-Rae Prescott
While this episode scores well with tying together the biggest plot lines this season, it fails miserably when it comes to addressing previous critiques of the use of sexual assault and rape tropes on Outlander.
Variety
Andrea Reiher
It's no secret that Maria Doyle Kennedy is a talented actress - but if anyone didn't know before, they do now after watching "Outlander's" latest episode, "Better to Marry Than Burn."
New York Magazine/Vulture
Maggie Fremont
This show is always more emotionally affecting when it's about the personal relationships of our characters rather than big set pieces, and never has that truth been more on display than in "Better to Marry Than Burn."
Entertainment Weekly
Maureen Lee Lenker
Though somehow, they've taken the events of Jocasta's wedding, the best sequence of The Fiery Cross novel, and cut the intrigue by half, thereby making it four times less interesting. Sigh.
