My more cynical view is that the show writers have become the victims of the source materials success. Few things cause as much free press (social, word of mouth, even some stupid morning shows) as in season one when Ned Stark, the most well known actor cast, was killed off.

Tonight's episode kinda perpetuated the continuing, murder them first, write it later the show has gotten it's self into. Ned Stark's, Jon Snow's, Tywin Lanister's deaths were dramatic and unexpected, and all written years ago. The Prince of Dorn's was... pointless. He'd barely been establish as a charter and hardly had the gravitas even in the books to make his murder in anyway profound.
