10 Stupidest Game Of Thrones Moments

Season five’s portrayal of Dorne was so disappointing considering the fine job the series did with Oberyn Martell. The only positives to come out of it were Jaime and Bronn’s banter and the luscious cinematography that Seville, Spain, naturally provided. Other than that, everything else was a disaster.

The Sand Snakes – Oberyn’s bastard daughters – were played by three horrible actors at the mercy of immature dialogue like “you want the good girl, but you need the bad pussy”, and their motivation for killing Myrcella as revenge for the Mountain crushing Oberyn’s head was weak and contrived.

It’s still baffling as to why the showrunners completely altered the far more logical narrative of the Snakes trying to make a claim to the Iron Throne through having Myrcella become queen of Dorne by marrying Trystane.

However, even if you completely ignore the nonsensical changes from the book, there’s still the major issue with how the showrunners essentially gave up on Dorne by quickly having Trystane and Doran Martell murdered so the Snakes could go away and rarely appear again.

Overall, the showrunners' handling of Dorne was an embarrassing mistake, and they know it.
