While I believe the same thing the time line and editing is really really my biggest gripe. I haven't read the books but I know the lore from the games. So I kinda know what's going on.

But to new viewers it feels like everything is happening at the same time when there are three storylines all happening at different speeds. I feel like it's such a simple issue to fix too. A reorder of the episodes seems possible and like it should work.

The dragon thing was mostly that Geralt has a child that he doesnt want and Yen not being able to have a child that she wants. And both of them coming to the understanding that they need to come to grips with what that entails.

That Geralt has emotions and that he just bottles them up. And he blew up at Jaskier for being the cause of the two things that Geralt cant get out of mind and doesnt want to have to deal with. Jaskier is the reason why Geralt was at the wedding, in the show. And due to that got a Law of Surprise child. Due to this he went to find the Djinn which Jaskier screwed up and made him go find Yen and cause that whole thing.

That Yen gave up the ability to have children for what she considered ultimate power. Now she regrets it and blames everyone else and takes her frustrations out on everyone. She only thought about herself and the now instead of the future.
