Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
Today, Emmett and Jeff are pleased to present you with "Affairs of the State:": our analysis of AGOT, Eddard II!
This week, we:
- Answer two more questions
- Get in depth on Robert's psychology
- Theorize about Varys being a conduit of bad information to Robert
- Jorah Mormont and why it had to be Ned who went to bring him justice
- Wylla and how GRRM wants us to pay attention to the different stories on Jon's parentage
- Jaime and the Unsatisfying Warden of the East subplot
- POV intersections: how Ned and Jaime view the killing of Aerys II.
Next Week: Jon and Tyrion go on a road trip the opposite way!

Great discussion. why isn’t Robert excited to have the Dothraki try to cross the ocean and invade? I think this is more than ethical weakness, but insecurity.

I have not ever heard this brought up but I believe Jaime is only 2 years younger than Ned. I think casting in the show made them look like there is a bigger age gap. PQ even refers to Jaime as a kid from Neds point of view. Do you think that their ages in relation to each other matters and the fact that they seem to be much further apart. Jaime is 16 when he is getting sworn into the kings guard and Ned is 18 at that Tourney. If I'm not mistaken.
