I don't buy that logic. Even if they cast her older because it made sense for a host of reasons, including legality, that still doesn't mean that making a violent wedding night was a necessity. And it was not only unnecessary, it was completely out of character for the progression of their relationship. And the same is true for the Cersei/Jamie scene—it was unnecessary to include violent rape, but out of character for them, and confusing for the plot line going forward.

Huh—I forgot that she didn't get in trouble for Jamie. She got in trouble with the others because they confessed, so their were witnesses against her...but I could of sworn they got her for screwing in the church! Clearly foggy on that part.

I didn't like Sonny in Treme. But they could have at least changed his look to be clean-shaven, more full of vanity & pride and less slovenly. Sonny in Treme was clean-shaven with short hair in Season 3, so I know the actor is capable, and the prior Daario was. I also didn't like the directors' explanation of the new Daario, that, "Oh, he's not just a sex object to distract her, the new Daario is also smart, and can teach her stuff!" Right. Because women aren't allowed to have pure lust distracting them in a male form, but every man in the Seven Kingdoms and beyond can have several boys & girls to distract them? Pbbbthhht.
