Yes, that will be a problem with the younger cast members unless they build in a passage of time to account for it.

True... I know some aren't happy with 6 - 13 episodes a year, but I
kind of like it. (Grew up watching UK and US TV so used to it).
I feel that 6 - 13 episodes a year (usually) mean 6 - 13 good
episodes, whereas 20 - 24 there's a lot more filler and a rush to get
episodes made...
IMHO, YMMV.

True. I don't know how much time passed in the books, but it can't be
much. Shouldn't be too hard to build in time... except some
characters will spend years wandering the roads of Westros aimlessly.
Arya was already having aging problems in season 1.

The hell? Is this meanness for a reason, or meanness for its own sake?

I already have it, LOL. I even have email set up,
masonba...@masonbarge.com, but my email client isn't set up to access it
:)
I have a lot of admin@ addresses and I really don't need another source of
email. And gmail is a lot less trouble, and plus, I have more confidence
that it will be around for the rest of my life than masonbarge.com.

If you find yourself so aggrieved by someone that you can't resist
returning the insult, you might want to think about either killfiling him
or, if you don't have that option, never reading his posts.

After three tries at spelling her "name" I finally landed on her imdb

Plus, she was a writer for "The Ben Stiller Show".

She appeared on it too didn't she?
She was wonderful on The Larry Sanders Show. But then, so was Sarah Silverman.

To be fair "insult smartarse" is a compliment. Most people here could
come up with far worse.

That's two followups in which duggy-the-[vulgarity deleted upon request]
has referenced the joke in lieu of explaining it. It must be terribly
funny.
