Asma Ben Hamouda Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 it's mid season 6 and so far we didn't see the sand snakes and I think that we will never see them again. The actresses got lot of hate and they went out through the back door and now, after season 5 and the first episode 1 of season 6, I've changed my mind, I'm blaming the writing/directing for the dorn disaster I really feel bad for the actresses because I fear that their performance in Game of Thrones will have catastrophic consequences on their career, and honestly I don't think that they deserve it because it wasn't their fault Do you think that this will have serious consequence on their professional careers or can they bounce back from Dorn flop?

Werthead Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Nope. When casting directors look at their resumes they'll see they've been in Game of Thrones and will be impressed by that. Their little subplot being well-received or not by fans will be of zero interest to them. They've also already gone onto bigger things: Jessica Henwick was in The Force Awakens and is probably returning for the two sequels, not to mention being cast in two other TV shows (including the next Marvel Netflix series, Iron Fist). The other two have already gotten more TV and film work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HodoringHodor Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Sand Snakes will definitely be seen again. Two of them are in King's Landing and the reason Doran got killed was because he didn't intend to go to war. Dorne will march to King's Landing and we'll see them again later this season. They're just not needed for the story right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfidious Algernon Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yeah, they film a whole season at a time. There's no chance of making adjustments to anything scheduled for S6. The showrunners could go back and minimize their roles for the next season or two though. *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Benjen's Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 To be fair in regard to the Sand snakes I don't think they were bad at all, it was mainly the occasional bit of dialogue that off. Unlike most I didn't mind the Dorne scenes, in fact I enjoyed them. I would've preferred if they kept to the books. I think the ONE scene we've had this season is x10 worse than anything last season. I was looking forward to a big Doran reveal but I guess not. But I think the Sand snakes are fine and they will go on to do great works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyman Manderly's Meat Pies Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 As the others said, Jessica is in Iron Fist as the lead actress and a notable hero. Her Star Wars character got a weird amount of traction for some reason. I forsee a few more lines in the sequels. (She didn't die right?) Keisha is one of the only Maori Oscar Nominees. (She might be THE only if you don't count Russel Crowe, who's only a small % I think.) Tyne hasn't done much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Riley Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I guess there will be more need for women being feminine and bitchy at the same time. Instead of showing equality to men, they only showed that women can be just as bad in power as men. Way to take a step back, girls(golf clap). Yes, the writers wrecked all of Dorne. They might as well write it as being consumed by a tidal wave or volcano or something at this point. When you give written gold to Hollyweird, don't be surprised if it's turned into written excrement. New Age Alchemists: Turn gold into shit. I'll be looking forward to the next book and have given up on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Now here comes the part where we throw our heads back in laughter" I do feel bad for the actresses because they seemed so excited to be in the show but everything about Dorne turned out to be so widely disliked. But I'm glad at least Jessica is in Star Wars and Iron Fist, so hopefully this means casting directors aren't taking the Sand Snakes disappointment too seriously. Curiously, I always pictured Jessica as my headcanon version of Spider Woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morky_Pep Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I guess we will agree to disagree. Dance is my favorite of all five, and while Feast is my least favorite. It is still really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel4s-JonSnow Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Your career only suffers if the show / movie you are in is a commercial failure. A couple of those and your career is dead. Being crap in a successful movie will very rarely ruin your career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Broke Howard Hughes Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I don't think anyone is blaming the actresses. I think it's clearly the material. The biggest mistake was not making that fight bad ass. You've got 3 sisters, together all the time, probably training together too. They could have, should have, wiped the floor with Jaime and Bronn. They should have used their numbers and weapon variety to keep them off balance, as soon as Bronn starts to get an advantage, one of the other Sand Snakes steps in with a different weapon throwing him off balance. There was so much potential. Change that fight scene, people forgive everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel4s-JonSnow Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I think that we're now 5 episodes in and they've barely features shows that the makers have decided to push them to the background anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSELL BELL Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Word is that they appear in 2 episodes this season. And that they appear in the finale as well. Its funny because whenever they're on screen, it still genuinely looks like I'm watching a different show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
