8. What Will Happen In Dorne?

Dorne. Yawn.

Ok, so Dorne is back, and it's a little better than it was last year, in that stuff is happening and it's quite fast paced, but also still the weakest part of the show, in that there's no reason to really care about the stuff that's happening, the dialogue is cringeworthy, and it feels like it belongs on a different series.

Despite the weaknesses, though, the events of Dorne do throw up some questions. With Doran gone, and thus no one around to keep the peace, are they headed for war with the Lannisters? Will the people rally around Ellaria and the Sand Snakes, especially if they're taking them to a battle they'd probably lose?

It might be too late to save Dorne, but they could at least send it out in a blaze of glory.
