I felt like nothing happened. I'm overly critical because I really hated most of Season 5, so I was hoping they would wow me with the premiere and they didn't.
In the books Doran appears weak but actually has a grand plan to fight the Lannisters. In the show he is actually weak, and now the worst characters in the entire cast are the only characters left in Dorne lol. I also found an insane amount of irony in the fact that they were mad at Doran for not avenging their family, and then they proceeded to kill Doran and Trystane...both members of their family. In order to avenge two Martells, you have to kill two Martells? I don't think this was very well thought out.
I don't know why they decided to give the Dothraki such high senses of humor, not to mention the fact that one of them worries about the intelligence level of the girls he lays with. That seemed....pretty un-Dothraki, since Jorah noted in the first season how they sort of just fuck anything that moves. It was funny but it didn't fit.
Those Bolton hounds are the worst hunting dogs of all time. "I've seen what those hounds can do," says Theon. Now I've seen what they can do too: run the fuck away from any conflict! Yeah, scary hounds those are.
The ending implied that it is the choker that gives Melisandre's appearance, right? But she's taken it off before and didn't turn into a 400-year old woman.
