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.

If King's Landing (Lannisters) go to war with Dorne, which seems like a safe prediction at this point, I'd say that's a pretty big revalation.
We may not see the throne as a huge piece anymore because we know about the other threats, whitewalkers, dragons etc, but for everyone south of the neck it is the be all end all.
The Tyrells have their only two children in custody, one of which is the queen, their head of house Mace Tyrell is who knows where (where is that guy? Still in Braavos? Still negotiating with the Iron Bank? Is he wondering where Maryn Trant is?).
What other houses can compete for the crown and have as few casualties in their army as Dorne? They've been pretty much untouched by the war of the five kings. Who will defend King's Landing from a coup if Elleria brings in an army?
I'd say the potential Lannister/Martell rivalry for this season looks quite promising.
