I think when Helena said to Alicent "i forgive you" what she meant was forgiving Alicent for throwing her out of the window in the future (and while saying this she was standing in front of one). Maybe she told Alicent all of her visions and the song of ice and fire. She looked to be ok with her death probably looking forward to it. It would be cool, if Helena falling down would see two bright figures in the window not only Alicent . The fall would end her visions just the way the fall started Bran's. Maybe she would pass her "curse" to Bran.

The original rider of Dreamfyre was Rhaena Targaryen. As a child, Rhaena was shy, preferring the presence of animals instead of people. She bonded instantly with Dreamfyre as a hatchling and named her as such because others referred to her as a dreamer. Once she began to ride Dreamfyre she became less timid and created bonds with her cousins and other children of the High Lords who lived in the castle. This might explain why during the last feast with Viserys Helaena so boldly claimed bedding her brother "wasn't so bad. Just lay there and wait unless he's drunk" or something similar. Then she didn't hesitate and was welcoming of Jacaerys's touch when he asked her to dance. The change in both riders' personalities once bonded and finally riding Dreamfyre can't be a coincidence. I also read that when Rhaena was separated from Dreamfyre for long periods her personality would revert to being timid, shy, sullen, and refused to partake in any festivities where crowds were gathered. There's definitely a connection between Rhaena's personality, behaviors, and "dreams" and Heleana's whose were eerily similar. I think Dreamfyre only ever bonded with the "Dreamers" because they were one themselves. It is often theorized that Dragons and their Riders bond mentally/emotionally and not just because of their bloodline. Who knows? I just think it's too on the nose not to make the connection.

I think Helaena, whether intentional or not by the writers, was written to be neurodivergent or autistic, I’m autistic and notices she possesses a lot of the signs including special interests (her bugs), poor social skills and too much honesty (she says things like her comments at the last dinner about Aegon that were out of pocket and didn’t seem to notice), muted or held-back expressions (she clearly has expressions but they’re usually soft and restrained), repetitive habits (she enjoys sewing because it’s repetitive and that’s comforting to her) sensory overloads (the funeral of her son that felt like the beginning of a meltdown to me, also she doesn’t like being touched too much when Alicent tried to comfort her in the first season) and a very clearly different way of perceiving the world and people , the last one could be because of her dragon dreams which she clearly has, but it also could be a symptom mixed in with it. I don’t think the writers intended her to be autistic, they were just trying to make her different. But who knows, maybe they’ll say something in the future. 😊

There seems to be a sliding scale for the strength of Targaryen Dreamers, some of the family have occasional prophetic visions, others like Helena seem to have them so pervasively it's like wandering around in a dissociative state. Imagine living your life never knowing if what you perceive is actually happening now, or is a vision of the future-and not even knowing when that future will come to pass? Add to it the visions are not crystal clear, they have to be interpreted b/c many of them are apparently metaphors, (we saw that in HOTD S1 E3 when Viserys spoke to Alicent about his Dream of a son being king after him..what he interpreted as a tourney celebration a coronation was probably an accurate vision of the civil war that's about to happen). If that's not a recipe for insanity, I don't know what is. So is that the root cause of the Targ "madness"?

Definition! I didn't realise Helena was a Dragon rider. I can't image her being mounted on Dragon back sending it high across the bay. That's wicked. I wonder if we will see her getting involved with any flying at all. Also. What do you think is the likeliness of Vaeghar either hesitating or disobeying Aemond if he command her to kill either Bealla or Rheana? Remember that Vaeghar was previously their mother's mount & pet, and clearly hesitated when tasked to commit a fiery suicide on her behalf. I dunno how previous loyalties and/or the memories work with Dragons. That could be cool though if we see her refuse Aemonds request to Dracarys either of Daemon's offspring, and we have already seen epic stuff come due to Caeghar ignoring or going over the top with commands.

I don't think Helaena is picking up on other people's grief. I think it's more that she doesn't trust or know the small folk, and because her last run in with small folk led to her son being decapitated, she's justified in freaking out that the wagon has stopped and they're moving closer to both her and her poor baby boy riding all alone on the carriage in front. She wants to run away, but she can't because she's surrounded and because she's expected to act a certain way. Plus she doesn't want to leave her son. She already ran from him, he was dead, but no doubt she feels guilty for running away and leaving his body. She's not going to do that again, even though she didn't want to ride out like this in the first place.

Well.... she ends up having to endure it again. She never bonded with Maelor after the death of Jaehaerys because she picked him to be the one to die. Honestly, I think she felt like she had to choose the first born son and heir regardless of her love for them. Unfortunately, she never showed any love or bonding with Maelor afterwards. Which makes his ending all the harder on Helaena. If you haven't read the spoilers or the actual book, I won't apologize for that spoiler. In the end, Jaehaera lives and ends up Queen if that makes anyone annoyed with me feel a little better.

Even the Baratheon line have some as the 1st Lord of Storms end was a Dragon Seed himself and the family has married into to the Targaryen family a few times. It's why Robert was able to claim the throne with little push back.

Thank you for explaining. Anyways , all that aside I really like this channel you’re funny and correct. Easy to watch.

How did "Aegon's Dream" and dagger go from Aenys to Jaehaerys? Aegon was his heir, Meagor was king after Aenys, and Jaehaerys overstepped his older sister Rhaena.

I wonder when Helaena looks to the sky and see’s the petals full, is it a prediction of the Ash that will fall, created by Daenerys when she burns the city in the future? Just a bit of theory time from me.

One thing that would be good is showing how Humans and Dragons bond (mind meld) with each other. Also, what happens if one of them dies. Like in the World of Pern, when the human dies, the dragon commits suicide by "Going Between". And if the dragon dies the human is no longer quite "all there". 😐

In the Song Of ice and Fire Books...The Baby Aegon Targaryen was actually NOT killed By The Mountain...and appeared in Book 5...Now the TV show did not use that plotline...now was it likely that in the BOOKs(to come) that Rhaegar named 2 of is sons Aegon, or would John Snow have a different Targ name? Aemon perhaps?

I think they should have had more Heleana from the start, had us really come to love her with more initial storyline. They missed an opportunity to make us truly reel from the murder of her baby. I felt bad for her, but just that. I wasn't vested enough for it to hit like it could have. Still its better than the last season of GOT which was like them spitting on their fans

Could be the last ring (Targaryen ruler) has “no legs” to stand on. So either dany or jon, they have no legs to stand on, one whilst being known as a Targaryen, they havent been in rule, they dont really have current claim. And one was unknown, why would someone believe a random guy saying hes a Targeryen when just 5 mins ago he was a bastard. And then theres the other option. Bran. Last ruler “ring” we know of in the shows and he was paralysed from the waist down

One thing I noticed was that the things ( I think it was wheat ) that the commoners were throwing looked like the ashes that fell when Kings landing was destroyed in season 8. They both looked like snow. It seems that maybe halena was having a vision because it also looked like she couldn’t breathe ? Maybe living a vision and seeing the future of kings-landing before her eyes since so much emphasizes was placed on the snow like materials that was being thrown by commoners and their dirty made them look ashy

No hate- I really did love this channel when there was only the presenters voice, it was refreshing not to see another KZbinr talking at you from the customary KZbinr room/decor, it gave this channel a hint a sophistication others lacked, and now it’s like all the rest. Not to be mean and I’m sure there’s a good reason, I just don’t look forward to the vids in the same way and it’s lost something for me.

Mainly due to copyright reasons in all honesty. As the vids get longer we get more and more and I’ve spent long nights and weekends trying to re-edit stuff only to then get hit with claims. Most of my week over Xmas was trying to re-edit the die hard breakdown to pass without getting blocked so it’s easier to just cut to our own footage. On top of that I feel like with the way AI is going we’re gonna see an age of authenticity come into play. I feel like we’re in the age of information right now but with the rise of deep fakes and voice cloning it’s gonna get to a point where people naturally go towards people they know are real. Retention is also higher on videos with camera footage too. Whether that’s because people connect more with faces over voices I don’t know but those are the main reasons. Writing this as im out jogging so sorry if the spelling and grammar sucks

With respect to Helaena i feel the writers are taking too many liberties, she isnt a witch, or a psychic/visionary etc but they want to make her one. Changing a character arc in minor bits is ok but changing the deaths, adding extra abilities etc, they may as well just implement a completely new char witha unique name and have full creative license, like they have with the woman aemond sleeps with. There comes a point where you either pay homage to the character or you exclude

I think you may have missed some of the more glaring, seemingly purposeful, non-fantasy explanations for why Helaena is acting the way she does at the funeral and why she acts the way she does in general. It’s kind of akin to magical savant syndrome, which, say it with me, class, happens in people on the autism spectrum.
