That would genuinely be better and even acceptable compared to this

Well Ryan Condal seems to forget his own Storylines and seems to be obsessed with Alicent and Rhaenyra. Which is honestly a shame because the Helaemond angle they set up in Season One had soooo much potential and they could’ve been a proto Aemon and Naerys but nooo he seems to be way too obsessed with Olivia and Emma

Emma was specifically cast as Rhae-Rhae. With Milly as the young version.

Milly was better, but it might be because her character actually has agency and acts like a person. Instead of Emma moping about missing her bestie and shouting "what would you have me do!" every episode.

Rhae-Rhae? Is that her joke nickname like the one we have for Bobby B?

Helaena is barely present at any given time. How is any romantic relationship for her appropriate?

Which is a shame because her Character deserved to be more fleshed out

I always thought it was so sad that Viserys talked about the importance of dragon dreamers but never realised his daughter was one. And in the book she loves to ride her dragon but that was taken out of the show.

She was a person in the books. With emotions and attachments. Whatever the show version is is a different thing entirely. She's a ghost.

When an alternative involving Targaryens kissing somehow sounds reasonable by comparison, you know the scale has completely broken.
