Episode 114: A CLASH OF KINGS, DAENERYS III: "The Fiery Ladder"

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!
 
In this episode, Daenerys gets rejected by the Pureborn, gets manipulated by Xaro and watches a really fun magic show. Oh, and Quaithe is there. Yay?
 
This week, we: 
 

- Talk about GRRM's worldview vs Tolkien's.

- Get into the Pureborn and what boredom and wealth do to the Pureborn (and people)

- Demonstrate that Xaro is a total POS

- Talk about the rise of magic and what that means

- Roll our eyes at Quaithe and Jorah

- Answer the question as to what would have happened if Dany went to Asshai

Next week: Myrcella goes to Dorne, and a minor plot-point but the city erupts in riot in ACOK, Tyrion IX!
