The Dance Of The Dragons will be the focus of the plot of the new HBO spin-off House Of The Dragon coming in 2022. So if you want to learn the story before we see HBO's take on it then this will be a very long-running series. Game Of Thrones / House of the dragon are HBO shows based on George R R Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series. The information in this video comes from the books a world of ice and fire as well as fire and blood.

HBO cutting down to 8 episodes and budgets is the most ridiculous thing bout this man love your content!!

[NicholasPhillips]

Very upsetting that a company like HBO/MAX or Discovery can't seem to produce a show like this in as grand as it deserves to be.

[memecity]

You gotta have the gullet, tumbleton battles, God's eye, butcher's ball, and the dragonpit

[knightbork]

If they cut the Hour of the Wolf, fans are going to be mad. Not enough Cregan in s2.

[jimbo_]

Too do any sense of justice, either stretch seasons 3 and 4 to 10 episodes, or do three more eight episode seasons with the logical conclusion being the hour of the wolf.

[Halterin]

I don't see them including Honeywine, Red Fork or the Red Kraken in any kind of big scale. The Fishfeed and Butcher's ball will also likely be something smaller in scale, while First & Second Tumbleton will both get major coverage. So the big events of Season 3 will be Gullet and both Tumbletons. Season 4's big setpieces will be God's Eye and Dragonpit.

[senister]

They didnt need a big budget for Blood and cheese and they still managed to screw that scene up.

[isaacupton]

This is very concerning. After reading the books it seems like there are countless moments that I couldn’t wait to see play out on the show and they are almost all either changed for the worse, merged with something else, or just cut all together. It’s quite sad that we aren’t getting the same story told in fire and blood. It’s a good show still but just disappointing as an avid book fan.

[wafflingmean]

The worst part is because casual fans have been screaming for more battles (when Season 2's real problem is poor pacing, excessive filler and repetitive scenes especially for Team Black), HBO may mandate for there to be even more battles, but likely keep cutting budgets, giving us even less character work and worse battles.

[isaiahdaddys]

I don't understand how you cut episodes of the biggest show in the world rn.

[nuralibolataev]

I think it would be smart to tweak the timeline for the show to help with pacing and narrative impact.

In this version, the Fall of King's Landing happens in Episode 1. It’s a straightforward victory for the Blacks, giving their fans something to celebrate right out of the gate. This would start the season off strong, showing them on top.

Then, Episode 2 shifts to the Battle of the Gullet. This is where things get serious. The Blacks face a harsh reality check, and the death of Jace would be a gut punch for everyone, making this episode unforgettable.

This approach lets the show start with a bang and then quickly raise the stakes, keeping things intense and unpredictable.

I always thought Rhaenyra's death would be a season 3 ender but a lot of fans pointed out that HBO was never going to do a whole season without Daemon, Rhaenyra, and Aemond. Daeron being introduced and killed off in one season doesn't make much sense either so all of that is going to be season 4 and there will likely only be 3-4 episodes after Rhaenyra dies. I wasn't a fan of this because a lot of interesting things happened after her death and she is still quite impactful. The remaining events of the war and how that character's legacy is explored could've been a whole season in my opinion. They seemed to have called it right.

[JoseGonzalez-pnzl]

You know reading the book again this week I couldn’t help but think 16 episode to finish this show won’t do it justice.

[WorldOfWesteros]

Right lets try this again... if people watching in 1080p and 4k let me know if this looks like a potato would be grateful. i have no idea what's been going on with the processing last week, ether been very slow, or awful quality.

[Miller]

Here's a sort of breakdown of the battles remaining and how they might be handled.

Battle of the Gullet (Major Battle, no comparison)
Fall of King's Landing (Merge with Gullet?)
Battle of the Honeywine (Aftermath a la Burning Mill)
Battle of the Red Fork (Mention or merge with Fishfeed)
Siege of Longtable (Mention, no battle)
Sack of Bitterbridge (Aftermath, a la Duskendale)
The Fishfeed (Major Battle, BotB type)
The Red Kraken (Mention, isolates Lannisters)
Butcher's Ball (Rout, death of Criston Cole)
First Tumbleton (Major Battle, a la Rook's Rest)
God's Eye (Major Battle, a la Rook's Rest)
Second Tumbleton (Major Battle, Rook's Rest)
Dragonpit (Major Battle, Red Sowing)
Moon of Three Kings (Intrigue)
Battle of the Kingsroad (Aftermath, Burning Mill)

Depending on budget the big shown events could be:
S3:
Gullet-Kings Landing
Fishfeed
First Tumbleton

S4:
God's Eye
Second Tumbleton
Dragonpit

That makes for 3 big battles per season? With the rest mainly being shown as short skirmishes and aftermath types of shots. It's not ideal, but could be the best available option.

Hugh hammer is going to fall out with the queen, be approached by Larys, and then be like “we the people deserve better” then crown himself because these factions are what the problem is in Westeros.

[BIastwave.]

It’s absolutely insane that a billion dollar company like HBO can cut a season down by 2 episodes and skip out on such key events and then act like “budget issues” was the cause. That doesn’t make any sense and anyone who believes it is stupid. It’s just corporate greed. Top to bottom.

[bobcam]

I totally agree with you, also think, They are going to change Aegon 111 Flying back to Dragon Stone on Storm Cloud. He is still so young and his Dragon is only a Baby🐉

Last year, Ryan Condal gave an interview where he said that season 2 was being truncated to 8 episodes because “it was story-driven”. Now that I’ve had a chance to see the ‘story’, well, I’m more confused as to what the story actually was. That said, I’ve had a chance to rewatch the “highly praised” season 1 again, and I now believe that’s where the original sin lies that has brought about all these pacing issues with the plot lines, that are about to get worse. The use of scene-to-scene screenwriting and multiple time jumps was strange, but palatable at my first viewing. However, what that did was create a disjointed plot arc for the entire series moving forward, as they deviated from the source text whilst also adding more confusing filler plots for some of their characters. And this I suspect was deliberate for a reason. See, GOT and HOTD are a gold mine for HBO, and they know that. And from that perspective, they honestly don’t care as long as they get the ratings, and thus will juice this puppy financially for what they see it to be. Reason why truncated seasons, and deviations from the source text will be the order of the day moving forward. They own the TV rights to this, and so there will be NO MORE 10-episode seasons no matter what fans or GRRM say, since it will still be a ratings bonanza regardless. Just like season 8 of Game of Thrones was. So just brace yourselves.

[FroZoneDeNiro]

I myself legit thought it would be the fall of Kings Landing. Finale definitely was underwhelming!
