​@@MacaroniJudasshe never had a choice. By that point she had 3 children by Aegon, the king for the greens. How could she turn colours at that point? Like the blacks would never accept her or Aegon's heirs on their side. Btw the characters in ASOIAF are very complex and there will always be characters you like that come from groups or houses you despise. Are you new to this world or what? Liking Haelena or even Daeron doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. These are morally good characters but have zero influence. It comes down to if you support Daemon and Rhaenyra vs Aegon and Alicent. These are the people with actual power. Who would you prefer to rule?

That phrase has nothing to do with Aemond. On the day Helaena committed suicide her dragon, Dreamfyre rose up and broke her chains. Helaena had been riding her since she was 11. Dragonslayers came in the kill her and 2 other dragons and before she died the dragonslayers had put out one of her eyes. Mad with grief and rage she killed scores of men before they finally took her life.

She was casted perfectly. Her acting being vulnerable and last night's episode(S2 Ep2)of her anxiety was very believable. 95% of new actresses today could learn a thing or two in that regard for sure. Of all the new and newish actors on this show she stands apart imo. She played a very similar role in The Last Kingdom as Aelfwynn. Which was her first role iirc. She really got on two of the best shows on TV at the time back to back. Lucky girl.

[@MyUniqueVibe]

This raises some questions for the Asoiaf show/books. If characters can see the future, does this mean said future is unavoidable, therefore, 'fate,' or is it more like destiny wherein you can change the future depending on your actions? If what she and other characters in the show/books can see are unavoidable futures, then nothing they do matters insofar as as the final destination is concerned. Fate and free will don't mix. Fate = free will is an illusion, that no matter what Ned did, he was fated to die in King's Landing, etc., that Dany might be fated to go insane in the books.

[@Alejojojo6]

More like a path has been laid at some point that make what will come now unchangable, and the future is already set after that path is taken, and then its when they see the future (but it's always vague, like the future itself).

[@anikethchakraborty3238]

Haelena's advices were not taken so they suffered

[@Alejojojo6]

She says those things shortly before it happens. What leads to believe that some decitions they make in the present impacts the future to something laid in a path that is unavoidable.

[@nevaehaho61]

GRRM loves self-fulfilling prophecies. As in a character is given a prophecy (usually just a small piece of what will happen) and do everything in their power to avoid it only for those actions to cause the prophecy to happen in a way the character doesn’t expect. We see this most clearly with Cersei in the fourth book. She’s told that her children will die, a younger more beautiful person will strike her down and take everything she loves, and that her little brother will strangle her to death once she’s felt that ultimate misery. She interprets this to mean that Margaery will ruin her life so she takes drastic actions to stop the Tyrells from gaining power, giving The Faith an army so she can accuse Margaery of extramarital affairs and get her executed. But this turns on her and SHE ends up imprisoned and Margaery gets away almost scot free. Then she mistreats Tyrion because she thinks he’ll murder her and her children, but Jaime is her younger brother as well, being the younger twin. The younger more beautiful person might be Brienne or Arianne Martell most likely, but theories differ.

[@heyitsmira17]

Prophecies don't necessarily mean that the visions will happen. Some do, some don't. Dany saw prophecies that happened (Red Wedding) and prophecies that never did and never will happen (her son being the Stallion that Mounts the World). They are possibilities. Things that may or may not happen... and sometimes people bring doom to themselves trying to make prophecies work (Sommerhall) or not (Cersei's valonqar prophecy, her actions to avoid it end up making both her younger brothers hate her, not to mention the way she raised her kids, causing their deaths).
