I've read half of the first novel and seen through S7 of the show. My wife and are re-watching S7 as prep to S8 because she has terrible "TV memory".

My question is about Roger - specifically how, especially in season 7, he spends his time traveling by unintentionally making sure that he himself comes into existence. He rescues Morag and her daughter. He rescues his father. He brings Geiliss/Gillian and Duncan together. He more or less rescues Buck and helps him as well.

Roger's not his own grandpa but he's the next best thing - he's his own timeline mender.

Is there some sort of payoff to this in season 8 or it all just "time travelers, amirite?" in the end?
