So hats off to these ladies..
Really? I think most people were very disappointed by the Dorne scenes, especially in the fact that they essentially characterized the Sand Snakes as: the one with a whip, the one with a spear and the one who gets naked and has a knife. In the books, there was much more in-depth info, but I definitely felt the show gave them the shorter end of the plot development. Frankly, I don't blame them per se either since with TV you have a limited time and can't go everywhere but seeing as how Prince Oberyn was one of my all-time favorite characters, it still kind of stunk that Dorne ended up being lame.
I started to watch Episode 4 but it was in such low res quality that about 5 minutes in, I just decided to be a good TV viewer and wait for tonight's proper high def screening. Very excited!
Take care all.
