History YMMV / GameOfThronesS6E1TheRedWoman

* {{Retcon}}: Wearing the necklace gives Melissandre her youthful appearance, However, in "Mockingbird", we see her minus the necklace and still in her youthful form.
** She was mentioned to have used potion and illusion extensively. So this can be easily HandWaved.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Despite all the issues listed below, the episode does at least address one fan complaint by explaining the absence of Edd and anyone else who would have objected to the mutiny: It was done very late at night while they were asleep.

** Dorne continues to deliver with an out-of-nowhere coup, coupled with Obara and Nymeria seemingly performing OffscreenTeleportation to get on Trystane's ship so soon after they were seen at the shore.

** Ramsay's attempts to mourn Myranda are this, especially his line to give Myranda's "good meat" to the dogs.

** Dorne continues to deliver with an out-of-nowhere coup. And how did Grumpy and Boring Spice get on Trystane's ship so fast?!
** Olly's smug expression of righteousness.

* HateSink: Ellaria and the Sand Snakes have gone from TheScrappy to this, after have usurped their kingdom and murdered their liege and his son (aka the only Martells people liked) in cold blood and gloating about their murders. Fans are hoping for the resurrected Mountain to come to Dorne and finish them off.

** Ser Alliser Thorne states that his reasons for betraying Jon Snow was that he left the Wildlings through the Wall. Which begs the question, if his plan was to betray Jon Snow why did he let him and all those Wildlings through the Gate, and ''then'' stab the only man the Wildlings will listen to. Viewers hoping for an AuthorsSavingThrow (Such as news of Stannis' defeat forcing his hand), were left scratching their heads at the depths of his stupidity.

* JerkassWoobie: Ramsay gets ''so'' close, when he retells the story of how him and Myranda fell in love as childhood sweethearts. But after all it's still one terrible person mourning another terrible person, not to mention his plans to "utilize" her body.

* Retcon: Wearing the necklace gives Melissandre her youthful appearance, However, in "Mockingbird", we see her minus the necklace and still in her youthful form.

** Turns out yes, Jaime really was stupid enough to not just turn the boat around while he was barely out of the harbor, and instead goes all the way back to King's Landing...where he starts talking about how he can't wait to get some revenge.

* RootingForTheEmpire: As of this episode, everyone is rooting for House Lannister against House Martell, especially since the Sand Snakes have usurped their kingdom and murdered their liege and his son (aka only Martells people liked). Fans are hoping for the resurrected Mountain to come to Dorne and finish them off.

* FailedASpotCheck: Somehow, the Sons Of The Harpy were able to slip through completely unnoticed by any of the Unsullied or by Varys' spy network, and set fire to the entire Meereen fleet.
** Alternately, the fire may have been caused by the general spreading anarchy in the city with no direct input from the Harpies.
** Inverted and turned BeyondTheImpossible with Jorah. Daynenerys' desperate move to drop her ring so that, by some miracle, her people would find it? Worked like a charm, as Jorah spots it in a second.

** Dorne continues to deliver with an out-of-nowhere revolution. And how did Grumpy and Boring Spice get on Trystane's ship so fast?!

* {{Narm}}: Dorne continues to deliver with an out-of-nowhere revolution. And how did Grumpy and Boring Spice get on Trystane's ship so fast?!

* BrokenBase: The show runners elected to double down on people's hatred of the Dorne storyline by removing the few things that were actually popular about it. Bookwalkers especially were pissed as Doran's death cuts off any possibility that he could be revealed to secretly be TheChessmaster like the original.

* FailedASpotCheck: somehow, the Sons Of The Harpy were able to slip through completely unnoticed by any of the Unsullied or by Varys' spy network, and set fire to the entire Meereen fleet.

** Trystane does not behave pragmatically at all when confronted by the Sand Snakes. In particular, side-stepping so that he would be standing directly in front of one of them, back turned to her, left him extremely vulnerable for attack.

* FanDisservice: We get a full frontal shot of Mellisandre's real, ancient body, like the bill's finally come for five seasons' worth of gratuitous nude hot young women.

* WhatAnIdiot: Turns out yes, Jaime really was stupid enough to not just turn the boat around while he was barely out of the harbor, and instead goes all the way back to King's Landing...where he starts talking about how he can't wait to get some revenge.
