Fellas I got a question. Without telling me the whole story.
How are they stretching this out for a bunch of seasons?
Are the battles in the same area and how does the war last for years because of that?
In Game of Thrones everybody was spread out during the war but in
this I thought all the Targs were either at Kings Landing or Dragonstone?
On top of everybody having Dragons. It seems like this could've been settled over
a weekend.
They're not stretching this at all. There is a lot that goes on during the Dance of Dragons, and there were a lot of major players in it who weren't Targaryens. Plus, they're covering the years that led up to it, and there's enough interesting stuff in the Fire and Blood novel to do a whole season on the aftermath of the war as well. It's hard to say more without spoiling, but its a good thing we're getting more seasons than less.

I hope you’re not insinuating the last seasons response was just due to people’s theories running wild and not to do with clueless writers running 7 years worth of buildup into the ground :patrice:
How were the writers clueless? They were stuck effectively making fan fiction after a certain point. That's how it goes when an unfinished series gets adapted and the original writer isn't likely to ever finish the original work.

Only downside for this show is that its probably going to be a short 3 seasons or something

Is the lead up interesting???
I hear that'll be the whole 1st season.
I loved how Game of Thrones kicked it off immediately.
After that 1st episode I was like yea this is going to be crazy.
