Seriously, probably the most painful piece of "literature" I have read since the Harry Potter 7 epilogue. Did I pay for this? What the **** is going on? If I want to hear about terminal diarrhea I'll play ****ing Oregon Trail. This is important how exactly? Why would I want to know? Another author, with a better sense of when to apply conciseness, would have just said she got sick.
    Yeah, Dany wasn't having diarrhea. In fact 1 prophecy was being fulfilled, one which most people didn't even knew about it was a prophecy, and therefore a huge change in Dany's arch was happening. And it was absolutely not diarrhea.

    She was having a miscarriage.

    • Whatever it was, I don't need that level of detail. Brevity is the soul of wit. If the paragraph is not contributing to the plot, the setting, or the characters, it's wasting my time. The intricacies of her bowel movement or miscarriage or whatever the hell was happening down there don't service any of those.
      If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

        I hear you. Hell, they're nicknames to me too. Apparently I'm supposed to recognize who they are when they only ever say their name once if at all.

          It was contributing to the plot.

          • It was contributing a lot as it had to do with the prophecy. I suspect HC is just a lazy reader who wants the author to spoon feed him while GRRM doesn't often just come out and tell readers stuff and instead he'll throw a hint here, another one there, and a third one some where else letting the reader figure out the sub-text if they can.

              Hemmingway is that-a-way.
              “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

                        • There are actually five of those little mini trailers and they were released as a way to build up buzz for the first real season 4 trailer which comes out on the 12th of this month.

                              That's the scene I'm looking forwards to the most.
                              I hope they included the continuing accusations of Oberon.
