Tyrion's Third Wife Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I don't really care about lining up each Sand Snake's looks to her book description, as much as making sure they are varied with personalities and backgrounds like the book. I loved the fact that Obyren bedded a septa, a noble woman, a low born, a summer islander, etc, and each child was recognized and welcomed and brought up equally. I just hope to see varied skin and hair, and some ugly with the beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummester Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The show Sand Snakes were clearly cast so that they would look like Pedro Pascal's children. Which they do. Yea, pretty much. Pedro's kids from different mums. I never found the Sand Snakes were as important characters as Arianne when I read - but, seeing as the show has gone with the snakes and not princess Jasmine, I think it matters more if the girls have distinct personalities than how they look. From memory, one was a full on warrior type, one was a politician and one was a type of seductress/assassin thing. As someone mentioned, they could be green, what does it matter? The whole black/white thing with humans is just daft - humans don't even come in black or white coloring, we are all different flesh tones, it's our personality's that make us distinct.

jbob Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 the only issue people had with the sand snakes were the nipples on their armor and even that was more of minor gripe than a full blown Internet Uproar I've never understood the problem with the nipple on the armour. It's just a decoration like any other decoration on weapons and armour. None of them serve any purpose really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messem Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Sometimes people want to find certain faults. Whatever.What bothers me is the other look of the SS in this picture http://photos.vanityfair.com/2015/03/02/54f4b495ebd1a8c76489fafc_sand-snakes.png the two on the sides look too soft and the one in the middle looks like she has Popsicle up her bunghole but can't decide whether she likes or not. I know, I know these are stills. I like the book SS and really do hope they handled them well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fear2433 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Why are they not good?Watch https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7BIxE1LWSEANote: Have not read the books Obara is supposed to look very manly. She does.Tyene is not blonde. Agreed. But I think, for a little sister Rosabell is PERFECT. She has mannerisms like a wild naughty little sister even when she is not acting.The only person who looks too soft to me is Nymeria. But we haven't seen her action scene. So..

The King in The Mount Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Sometimes siblings do not look much alike. I was reading an article just the other day about a set of fraternal twins whose parents were white and black. One of the twins is white with red hair and the other looks like a light skinned African American. They don't look like sisters much less twins. Me and my brother. I have light brown hair and blue eyes, he has black hair and dark brown eyes. He's the only one in 5 siblings that looks like my mother. I refer to him as my dark brother.

Beric175 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 So the Sand Snakes show up once or twice scenes and because they have not gone through some epic monologues that means the entire Dorne stuff is awful? Bawhahahahahahahah, good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummester Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 So basically the show has gone - viewers liked and remember Pedro, so the best way to provide an emotional link to Dorne for viewers is via Pedro's daughters, not some king who viewer's haven't met yet. I guess it kind of makes sense, to simplify it from a viewer perspective but it will make it necessary to rewrite/rejig a lot of the Dornish plot.

Beric175 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well, Doran is notoriously inactive (or so it would seem dun dun DUN) so I get why they wouldn't jump in with him first because the audience has to get frustrated with his "passive" demeanour in the face of the plight of his people. Best have the Sand Snakes express the wish for vengeance first and then give the viewers something they didn't ask for but will appreciate all the same.

Red Tiger Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well, Ellaria takes over quite a bit from the book Sand Snakes, that's for sure. She is the one most adamant about taking apart the Lannisters, rather than being the voice of reason she is in the books. I will say no more.

Ser Creighton Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 From now on I shall refer to them as Tres Serpientes, or La Colmillos de Oberyn. They are La Serpientes Sociedad. Strike now Tres Serpientes, and strike true for none shall withstand La Veneno Zorra. "Campeones, campeones, hobe, hobe, hobe"Everything sounds better in Spanish maybe this will help there story. Fox force five, ha Tres Serpientes, La Veneno Zorra, see better already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashernate Reader Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I've never understood the problem with the nipple on the armour. It's just a decoration like any other decoration on weapons and armour. None of them serve any purpose really. You might even say they are useless "as nipples on a breastplate."
