Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast that usually goes through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! But not this week. 

 

This week, we present for everyone our 27th Patreon episode: "Sunflower," an analysis of Renly Baratheon, in the wake of his death in the main cast. 

 

In this episode, we:

 

-Force Jeff to make the case for Renly

 

-Talk about what inspired Renly and what he in turn inspired: narrative function, historical parallels, background characters, etc.

 

-Go over what we know of his backstory and personal life

 

-Discuss Renly's legacy (such as it is)

 

-Compare and contrast Renly in the books with Renly in the show

 

Next week: we resume our regularly scheduled programming with a Small Council session that also deals with Renly's death in ACOK, Tyrion VIII!
