Ned comes to King's Landing and enters the Great Hall on his way to a council meeting. Jaime meets him at the Great Hall, and gives him his account of how his father was killed. "500 men just stood there and watched. All the great knights of the Seven Kingdoms, you think anyone said a word, lifted a finger? No, Lord Stark. 500 men and this room was silent as a crypt. Except for the screams, of course, and the Mad King laughing. And later, when i watched the Mad King die, I remember him laughing as your father burned... It felt like Justice." Now, I don't know if my thinking is affected by a sort of sympathy that the show has allowed us to have for Jaime, but it felt like he was sympathizing with Ned, almost consoling him, maybe even seeking an approval from Ned Stark for what he did, for avenging his family, maybe the great Eddard Stark would see him different from what the whole kingdom sees him as, a Kingslayer.
Ned replies with, "Is that what you tell yourself at night? You're a servant of justice? That you were avenging my father when you shoved your sword in Aerys Targaryen's back?" and it's so cold, you can instantly see the change in expression on Jaime's face to almost that of a betrayal. Not even the noble Eddard Stark could understand his situation, of the fact that just maybe, he had saved a whole city from being burnt alive... I feel so sad for Jaime... And the more I recap these small instances, the more i realize just how naive Ned Stark probably was...
