Game Of Thrones: 7 Big Problems With Season 5

7. Dorne

Oberyn Martell was one of last season's greatest achievements, and Pedro Pascal delivered an unbelievable performance as a guy who doesn't wear a helmet at the most vital of moments.

So fans were ecstatic about the show moving to Dorne this year, a new part of the world where Oberyn is from. But although Dorne had its moments, this whole thing was pretty disappointing. 

The Sand Snakes should have been badass on the level of Oberyn, but instead they blended together into a trio of cliche characters, constantly spouting out revenge monologues and spending most of the season not accomplishing anything. It seemed like the writers just assumed everyone would love the Sand Snakes, so they didn't even bother fleshing them out.

There were also some scenes in Dorne that were just a waste, like when one of the Sand Snakes poisons Bronn, messes with him for a bit, and then just gives him the antidote. What was the point of that? Luckily, the season ended with something actually happening when Myrcella was assassinated, which should lead to an interesting conflict between Dorne and King's Landing next year. But overall, this wasn’t a great introduction to Dorne, and a lot of time spent there now kind of feels like a waste.
