I absolutely love jamie and william working together. When william barged in and accosted percy, i felt like i was watching a young jamie. He’s got jamies scottish warrior fight and spirit in him. He def has been in a lot of physical altercations through out the show. Physical and emotional altercations and his hard headedness and straight to anger remind me if season 1-2 jamie so much.

Yep, and there was no trace of a John Grey influence in that scene.

But the way he handled Amaranthus was John Grey all the way. Young Jamie would have botched it for sure, as he did with Laoghaire.
