Game Of Thrones Season 6: 26 WTF Moments

25. The Red Woman

GAME OF THRONES WTF
HBO

Talk about seduction regret. Every single one of the men in Game Of Thrones who've either been seduced by or had impure thoughts about Melisandre should now be purging themselves and sobbing hopelessly at the revelation that she's actually a Shining-like old crone when she takes her magical necklace off.

Only, wait... Didn't she remove her necklace already, without any of the transformative powers?

Once you picked your jaw up and stopped clawing at your own eyes at the sight of her "true form", there's a good chance your mind slipped back to the other time she removed the jewellery and looked just as normal as ever.

Now, that could be written around - the magic might not be in the necklace, or she might have sufficient residual power to remain disguised - but none of that was addressed and it just ended up looking like the writers failed to track their own work.
