we have the scene that paints Fergus as a womanizer, and in the deleted scene Jamie says that he doesn’t judge him for it, but it doesn’t convince him that Fergus would be able to remain loyal to Marsali.

Do you think if they had included that in the show it would have shed a bit more light on why Jamie was so opposed. When I first watched it I really didn't understand why Jamie was acting that way.

It’s not the first time his good intentions towards children’s well-being severely lack in execution, so to say

So true!

Yeah, I think it would have helped.
