Yeah, so that means S1 covers at least until 120 AC Which makes sense. Ideas that some hardcore book fans had that they will waste 2 or 3 seasons until Dance starts were crazy. I now even think that King dies in the final episode of S1. So the whole set up for Dance will happen in S1 and then S2 will start with Aegon's coronation. Yeah s1 will cover quite a span of time. It won't be like GoT where a season of the show is about a year in-universe.

But then from S2 until the end of the show it will be like a couple of months for every season.
What do you think about Viserys' death as the climax of S1?

Come to think of it, Viserys cutting his hand to the bone would be a good endpoint too.

There are billion children. I think they will reduce it to the minimum level.
I do think Viserys' death feels like the most natural place to end S1 based on the fact that we will be in 120 ac at least. I don't think Laena's death is big enough to be the end of S1.

He slipped and cut his hand deeply on the Iron Throne after getting pissed off and having the tongues cut removed from a group of people who were saying Rhaenyra's children weren't Velaryons. I just think that would be a pretty foreboding note, though ultimately that injury isn't what killed him, it's a pretty symbolic moment.

No one talks about it because it's really different from GoT structure (but this is different show so it makes sense that it will have different structure) but what if we have time jumps not between seasons but between episodes.
Like The Crown or The Queen's Gambit.
So every episode in S1 is like self-contained story. In one episode Aegon is a baby, then in the next he is little boy and them teenager. I expect Aegon to be Tommen's age in his "final form".
That's how you can cover 10-15 years in just one season. The Crown covered 11 years in S4.

So as I expected first season will cover at least 15 years. I am more and more sure that it ends with Viserys' death.
People were completely delusional when they expected 2-3 seasons of build up for Dance.
HBO is investing 100 million $ in this show. This will not be slow paced family drama like Succession.

I think they'll probably want to age up the child actors as quickly as possible and get to, as you said, the final versions of the parts. The actors who'll play them for the rest of the show. I'm surprised incidentally, how many of these roles are still being kept under wraps. Especially Laenor who people figured out a couple of days ago now. And yet John Macmillan's CV still doesn't say HotD on it and there's been no confirmation from the trades like Deadline, Variety or EW.

I am not sure this kid is even "final form". Feels too young.
But I do think we will get baby-child-young adult jumps in S1

But Alicent actress is also in her 20s. It will be strange to have her child the same age
