Arianne takes the "My beloved (uncle)!" role during the fight with the Mountain. And now she's back in Dorne and plotting. You can even work in the seduction of the Kingsguard thing if you want at that point.

And Darkstar! That guy was a badass.
The sand snakes are confusing as all hell in print; they're even worse on screen and when you case 3 wooden, largely indistinguishable and completely forgettable hacks in the roles, it gets even worse.
I'd have taken Grif over the damn sand snakes. Just a terrible decision.
