So what sort of Governor is John going to be? Well, we know that he wants to stop massive land developments, and will probably stop at nothing to ensure that happens. Based on what Wes Bentley (who plays Jamie) had to say to TV Insider, he may use some unconventional methods to make that happen:
“John’s trying to blow it all up … That becomes a clash of state versus corporate power — ironically, with John as the state. There’s definitely some shady business. Jamie tries to convince [John and Beth] they could use, rather than break or bend, the law to do the things they want to do. But they’re a blunt object.”
Of course, Jamie himself could be a massive thorn in John’s side depending on how this season progresses. Remember that this is a guy who wanted to do whatever he could in order to ensure that he got power in Montana, but Beth has put a complete stop to that and is now blackmailing him. That may be successful for now, but how long is Jamie going to be okay with this? This is a very delicate line that Kelly Reilly’s character is trying to tow.
