“Game of Thrones”: Logic error in season 6 leaves director perplexed
Due to its complex narrative with numerous time and plot jumps, “Game of Thrones” is also one of the most demanding series of our time. However, as many fans have noticed in recent years, the creative staff involved in the complex production does not always seem to be able to work completely flawlessly.
Logic and connection errors have crept in since season six at the latest due to the numerous “time warps”. And in fact, there is a bitter misfire right at the beginning of the sixth season, which even leaves the episode’s director, David Nutter, in need of explanation.
Where do the sand snakes Obara and Nymeria suddenly come from?
What’s it about? In one scene, the sand snakes Obara Sand (Keisha Castle-Hughes) and Nymeria Sand (Jessica Henwick) murder Trystane Martell (Toby Sebastian) on a ship. However, the bloodthirsty action cannot be explained from the plot shown. At the end of the fifth season, Trystane wants to leave Dorne with Princess Myrcella Baratheon (Aimee Richardson).

Shortly beforehand, Myrcella receives a very poisoned kiss from Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma), which also means her death sentence. What is also interesting, however, is that Obara and Nymeria can be seen on land during the farewell – so neither of them will definitely be traveling with us later. When the prince arrives in King’s Landing, he immediately sets sail to return to Dorne. But now the sand snakes are suddenly on board. Sounds illogical? It is too.

According to The Huffington Post, director David Nutter is embarrassed when asked about the scene: “Well, friends, I’ll be completely honest. I have absolutely no idea. But they’re sand snakes, after all, so you never know, right? They’re really nasty snakes.”
