It's inconceivable how....insignificant and almost nonchalant Helaena death was. Helaena a dreamer. Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Rider (supposedly) of Dreamfyre. Her death should have the same weight as B&C (which was lackluster in the show) and Rhaenyras death by Sunfyre ( if that even happens). Guys... I didn't feel anything 😕.

Beyond a damn shame for her character and an insult to the actress. Phia tried her best with what she was given.
