What did you guys think of the Sand Snakes? Apparently a lot of people absolutely hated that scene.



They kinda looked too young and skinny to be badasses. Obara's daughter was not a good actress. Also, Obara looked so much better last season, what happened to her?

Do you mean Ellaria? Obara is Oberyn's daughter.


eta: She looked better when she had long hair.

They looked like Xena rejects.

Sansa at the Met Ball MOnday night. I think she's starting to look like Lindsey Lohan

Sand Snakes will be a non-factor once Doran locks their crazy asses up. They sucked in the book too.

The funny thing about ASOIAF, it's applauded for all the strong heroic female characters, but almost all of them are really really stupid.

There is no female version of Littlefinger/Tywin/Tyrion/Varys/Illyrio. The only one that comes close is the queen of thorns and she's a minor player.

The whip thing was cheesy and killing the poor boat captain was kind of a dick move.

I never thought Elaria was very hot, but she's much less so with shorter hair. Nym was the only cute one, but she had that boyish haircut that the lesbians love so much.

I always hated the Dorne chapters anyway.

Cersei did some monumentally stupid shite in the books, but the show is making her look like some kind of evil genius. I thought that would happen, and I don't expect the depiction of the Sand Snakes to be any different.

This could work out for the shoe because her failing will be a harder bitch slap.

That describes how I felt about most of AFFC.

Ayra is the strongest but she might as well be a dude.

She is not dumb but her emotion driven vengeance spree will be her undoing. We all kind of know this.

It's going to be awesome either way. I actually felt sorry for her during that chapter.

Hey, I used to watch Xena every week, before it got all wiccan and lesbian-y.

I like good female characters. I just don't like preachy agendas.

I don't. I just think preachy agendas are condescending. They have one job - entertain me.

I really think the main function of the sand snakes is to frame Doran's storyline - what he is planning and the obsticles he faces in the form of impatience from both relatives and the public.

And for show purposes, to give Jamie & Bronn something to do.
