Aero Hotah gets killed in the back by fricking little girl with zero effort whatsoever after building him up to be such a badass last season... We also see sworn royal guardsmen are willing to just let Elleria kill the Prince because he didn't swear to kill the closest Lannister immediately in retaliation? Did we see any unrest in Dorne at all?
The whole scene is just so stupidly lazy. It's just so jarringly bad compared to the rest of the plot lines running right now.

It is even worse considering they are constantly leaving out Bran in order to advance the Sand Snakes storyline. But I've been saying that since season 1. For some reason the writers see the need to write the story as if they are writing a book.
