Game Of Thrones Season 6: 13 WTF Moments From The Red Woman

1. Melisandre's Final Form

Undeniably the episode's biggest, most WTF moment came when Melisandre, emotionally beaten down after Stannis' defeat and Jon's death, goes to her bedroom to get some much-needed sleep.

She strips naked, much to the audience's delight...until she removes her necklace, revealing her true form, a centuries-old body.

There had been much speculation about the necklace for years, and this seem to confirm that the combination of potions and necklace keeps her aging at bay somehow.

That hasn't stopped some fans wondering exactly how it all works, considering a previous episode where Melisandre bathed while not wearing the necklace, yet still retained her beautiful, youthful form.

Either this was a major continuity error, or much more likely, the potions and necklace work in conjunction with one another.

It was a strange, sad and weirdly beautiful scene, all the more so as it's easy to guess from this that Melisandre may end up sacrificing herself to bring Jon Snow back to life.
