Saw your brief comment about B&C and I agree with you, the writing wasn't it. The sounds were awful but them alone didn't really move me. I get Helaena's reactions aren't what's considered usual in general but Phia is amazing and deserved something better from the writers.

I will say the same thing I just said in another ask—the writers chose the cheap sounds of gore instead of the gut-wrenching bartering and the horrifying choice Helaena makes in the book.

She chooses Maelor over Jaehaerys because as a mother she thinks it's the merciful choice, as he is a baby and doesn't understand what is happening.

She makes that choice after offering herself, pleading they kill her instead, and under the threat that they will assault her daughter if she doesn't choose.

I understand they might have wanted to portray shock, but it is badly done. Again, I'm talking purely about the way the scene and the characters are written. Phia Saban did an amazing job with what she was given.

I'm never gonna recover from this. They share something so special and intriguing. There barely was anyone around, no reason for her to put on the happy wife show. And yet there she is, stealing her husband's tea and sipping it with that look. I need to think about what this represents. That and followed by Perrin's "joy" speech... I think they did have feelings for each other. I don't think it was ever love, but they've known each other for so long now, they know very well how to make each other happy and each other miserable. And how they just dance around each other with that knowledge. I know a lot of people hate Perrin and frankly he's not my usual type of character but idk there's just something beautiful and tragic about them.

Fuck these writers even more for having Helaena just leave her son alone for fucking dead.

SHE WOULD NOT FUCKING DO THAT! I swear these showrunners are illiterate!

No one above them🔥
