I think Prince Doran's death was foreshadowed pretty well in AFFC. He locked the Sand Snakes in a tower at Sunspear, he had Areo Hotah foil Arianne Martell's plan to kidnap Myrcella with the help of Arys Oakheart, he was not well liked among the fiery people of Dorne.
I was shocked to see Areo Hotah die, though. Ermygherd. I like him, but he was ancillary as hell.
Exactly, very obvious, undramatic and kinda... pointless. If perhaps he had maneuvered the Snakes, the Lanisters. Been involved with Stanis, even the Boltons with news of Sansa, something intriguing. Instead of creating a situation where rebellion and war with Dorn was so bloody obvious, you know played some games worthy of the title of the show? I dunno seemed like the writers killed off somebody they could write for.
Not that I didn't enjoy the show, the final scene was very interesting, especially since how the show and the books have differed on what some servants to the "red god" have done.
I think it's a little too early to call it pointless. Dorne will go to war with the Lannisters now. Doran had to die in order for that to happen the way the Snakes want it to. I assume Highgarden will side with the Martells. In the books "Young Griff" lands at Storm's End right about now, maybe we'll see the Blackfyre Targaryen (although I doubt it).
All of the shit Cersei has stirred is about to fall in her lap. She is about to go to war with the Faith's Militant. She has meddled and fucked with the Queen of Thorns, and the Tyrells are about to boil over. The Lannisters and Cersei have fucked over the Martells and they are about to march through the Boneway and pick up the Tyrells on the way to Kings Landing. She has murdered enough Starks to start a war in the North, and now Sansa has escaped and probably will go to the Wall or Deepwood Motte if she's smart, where she'll hopefully take the North and bring the shit from the North as well.
Prince Doran's death will probably not be unnecessary.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
