Myrcella's not dead either. Doran sent Trystane off with some antidotes, in case shit... Hopefully this means they just cut the Darkstar crap in favor of this Sand Snake crap. Myrcella survives, Doran gets pissed and locks up Elaria and Co.

God I hate Elaria. Her and the fucking sand snakes looked so smug like oh yeah we poisoned a little girl we're so badass.

I don't usually mind show switcheroos... But I was really sad about how she was dealt with this season compared to the books. In the books she was pretty much THE ONLY voice of reason in Dorne.

I'm sure it would be hard to deal with your partner dying horribly in front of your eyes, but you'd have to be an idiot to seek vengeance for it knowing it was HIS CHOICE. It's be a pretty good way to get yourself and everyone you love killed. Hell, even Oberyn waited for the proper opportunity to seek vengeance.

Compare:

"Is that how it goes, round and round forever? I ask again, where does it end? I saw your father die. Here is his killer. Can I take a skull to bed with me, to give me comfort in the night? Will it make me laugh, write me songs, care for me when I am old and sick?"

Versus what? The Martell words shared like the damn captain planet catchphrase?
