I'm making this post to explain some of the "plot holes" that I believe people are just jumping to conclusions instead of thinking them through.

The Sand Snakes on the boat with Trystane - It is perfectly reasonable to believe that after Jaime, Myrcella, and Trystane left on their ship, Obara and Nym left on a separate ship to follow them. Once Jaime went to shore with Myrcella's body it is very reasonable to believe they were able to sneak on the ship.

Jorah finding the ring - If they were out in an open field and just happened to randomly find a ring, I could see how that might be a "plot hole", but that isn't what happened. Jorah noticed a very obvious piece of the field that was trampled on by horses with a small piece of untouched ground in the center. So it is reasonable to think that someone who is looking for clues would look down in the center and actually see the ring.

Melisandre still appearing young in the bath scene while not wearing the necklace - The necklace isn't the only thing that can hide her youth. In the same bath scene she reveals to Selyse that she has several potions that are for deceiving people's eyes. Therefore, it is implied that there were potions that also keep her youthful. During the scene where she takes off the necklace, the camera spends several seconds focused in on the potions, I doubt that was just for cinematic effect.

Brienne's Fighting - Brienne and Podrick face off against 6 Bolton soldiers (4 on horseback and 2 with dogs), Brienne kills 4, Pod and Theon each kill one. We've already scene that Brienne is an impressive fighter. She held her own and was even winning while facing the greatest swordsman in Westoros, even if he was exhausted and out of practice. She killed two on Renly's other Rainbow Guard. She killed 3 Stark soldiers. Her being able to fight off 4 Bolton soldiers doesn't seem like it would be such a difficult task. As for Podrick's new ability with a sword, Brienne said last season that she was going to start training him.

The Hounds - Yes, the hounds disappeared after Brienne arrives. It is most likely that they ran off. Although they were Ramsay's best dogs that are able to tear a human to pieces, the only scene where we've seen that happen was with an unarmed and injured girl that was running away. Who knows how they would have reacted in a real fight.

The accents and lack of dynamic characters is what makes it lackluster for me though
