What would be the point of having an actual story if you already knew everything?
So what exactly is the point of Bran's storyline? Seems to me a lot of people have been complaining about his pointless story for 5 seasons now.
Are you confusing Trystane with the Prince Doran's bodyguard? The scene with the Trystane was predictable but I don't think it was supposed to be a mystery. We knew they were there to kill him.
The scene with Doran, you knew they were gonna assassinate him? Well you're obviously ahead of the game because pretty much no one knew they'd assassinate the head of dorne in the first episode.

The main issue with the Sans is that it's very unlikely that story plays any major role in the main plot.
The Martel's only major role prior to the end of season 5 was to babysit Myrcella. Now the Sand snakes just seem like an easy target for Cercei/Jaime to act as stepping stones while they get their groove back.
It's just kind of lame and predictable. With their being zero change of any of the Sand snakes vying for power, which is what the show is about, why is so much screen time being given to them?
Totally different than Bran, who is a member of a major house and developing super powers. Bran is likely to play a major part in the way the main plot unfolds. The Sans are not.
