So much hype this season. Compared to last season this one is miles and miles better. We've also only seen the Sand Snakes once. For like 4 minutes. Coincidence?
The thing is, them axing the Dorne story is a good decision now, but when everyone looks back at the series they're going to think, "Wow, what a waste of time that was." It took up a significant portion of Season 5 that could've been used for other things. I wish they had continued with whatever they were going to do so at the very least it wouldn't feel like a total waste. Unless this is what they were planning on doing the entire time, which is even dumber.
Yeah, Dorne certainly won't be held as a great part of the series. But I think that's what the show-writers noticed, and that's why the very first episode had the big climax of that plotline (Doran + Trystane being assassinated, Sand Snakes having control of Dorne). They were 'ripping off the bandaid' in the first episode instead of dragging that plot over the next 5-6 episodes. I think Dorne and the SS will only appear in necessary, big plot events from now on.
