I'm not surprised the show is starting to come off the rails. The books at this point dragged with so many characters and plots. I guess fast tracking it to make it watchable but they really have cheapened it. Some of the changes I could see and deal with them but it just seems somewhat cheap TV now. Maybe because the little plots that Martin had written being lost on the TV guys is what is causing this problem.
The sand snakes and Dorne are probably the worst introduction and plot items this season. Personally, they should have expanded on the Ironborn and Greyjoys. We've seen hardly anything on them, their religion, and the pillaging they were doing at this point. Plus it would have tied in the Theon and Sansa thing. I don't know. Perhaps the sand snakes offered more boob TV opportunity vs bad arse Viking types. They only thing they've got me interested in is Tyrion's story and the way its going they could easily destroy it.
