3. The Meta Commentary On Daenerys

The chaos and assaults in Meereen are continued in Season 6, with the fleet of ships currently sat in the harbour being burnt by some unknown assailants (it's safe to assume the Sons, but it could just be the unhappy and fearful Meereenese folk who don't wear gold masks).

When Tyrion observes this happening, he dryly observes: "We won't be sailing to Westeros anytime soon."

Oh damn, Tyrion, that's brutal. Yep, far more than merely noting what's happening in the episode, it could be taken as the Imp providing an extremely meta commentary on the fact that we're at the beginning of Season 6, and still no closer to Daenerys travelling to Westeros.
