Horses!

Wow, juvenile post much? God forbid a heterosexual male doesn't have an instant boner at a lame piece of dialogue from a cardboard cutout of a character. (Don't mean to assume anything on your part, Myles, just, what a comment.)

Dunno, tbh.

Do you mean read? Snake and the sweet grass was in the books. I've seen Doran tell Ellaria he puts up with her for Oberyn's sake, and then have her swear alliegance and submit - interspersed with ruminations on Trystane and Myrcella's union.

Uh, he did that in the books, not so much the show.

Pardon? When was that the argument? Sansa's agency doesn't mean she should pick up a sword and fight, or become a perfect seductress - Sansa has her own set of rules and methods, and we've seen her use those methods in both books AND show - except when it's convenient that she doesn't (like being raped because the…

But we can only supposedly take the show at face value, and there has been little direction wise to even insinuate this.

There is no corresponding character to Show Ellaria, though. Maybe Obara? They go through the trouble of Dorne without anything that makes Dorne …well, Dorne. It's pointless.

Because viewers are apparently stupid and can't understand why that lady wouldn't want revenge….

THere isn't really that much more of them. They get introduced, then locked up, and then only seen again at the end of the Dorne PoVs in the books, so it's not like we've spent as much time with them as the show has.

Eh, YMMV, but the Sand Snakes were distinct enough from eachother, if only superficially, and were actually, at the end of the latest Dorne parts in the published books, going places (Tyene to the Sept, Nymeria to the Small Council, Obara to hunt down Darkstar). But it's like if they were given PoV chapters while they…

It's the Mountain ressurected through Qyburn's experiments.

I admit, it's hard for me to see a character act that stupidly and think that's the characterization they've written for her. It's easier for me, anyways, in the case to see it as a writing issue than a throughline with the character as is.

I'm mad that Sansa being raped meant nothing to her storyline but it happened anyways because shocking.

Conspiracy Theorist:

But we just had to have Sansa in this storyline (rape scene) because we loved this storyline (rape scene) so much…

Too much violence with too little consistency in terms of plot, narrative, characterization….

Just like raping her to what end, exactly?

I want to believe, but even if this was all true, it's so out of left field with so little narrative set up that I think I'd still be pissed.

That does happen beforehand, and I'm pretty sure in some of the Barristan/Tyrion PoVs as well as Dany's.
