The actress is about to turn 17, so it's unlikely she's gonna change much, and she can still easily pass for a 14-15 year old.
Plus Martin would have aged the characters up if he did it over. Originally there was going to be a time gap of ~ 5 years between the events at the end of this season and the next season, but Martin couldn't find a good way to make that gap happen without having tons of flashbacks and things to fill in the gap, defeating the purpose. He said that if he knew from the start that the gap was going to be removed, he would have aged the kids in particular more. Source
Pretty great spoiler free read from Grantland, it gives a lot of insight I was unaware of. http://grantland.com/hollywood-pros...ns-about-the-game-of-thrones-season-premiere/
Game of Thrones' renewed for TWO more seasons http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/04/08/game-of-thrones-renewed-for-two-more-seasons/?hpt=hp_t3
Yeah, the show is a constant sense of foreboding and dread, punctuated by acts of horrific inhumanity .... and t*tties.
Spoiler Cersei's been banging her cousin while he's away and she is cold with him when Jaime returns. A little later, Tyrion tells him of her infidelity and then he feels jilted and leaves. So, it's both ways, ultimately. I didn't like the old Daario, but this time last year I hadn't read up to that part in the book. I think the old Daario fit the character of an ostantatious, lascivious and wreckless bravo, even though I didn't like the look of his face. The new guy I don't want to punch in the face every time I see him, but he looks like he's about to pull up to the Starbucks drive-thru in his Prius.
While talking on his Bluetooth. Daario to Bluetooth: "Yeah, yeah, no kidding. Right. Hey, hold on a second, I'm in the drive through at Fourbucks." (leans out window) Daario to Starbucks speaker: "Yeah, I'll take a venti extra-hot no-foam latte with an extra shot." Miss Othmar voice from speaker: "Wah wah wah, wah wah wah wah..." Daario to Starbucks speaker: (sigh) "VENTI LATTE. EXTRA HOT. NO FOAM. EXTRA SHOT OF ESPRESSO." Young-surly I-heard-you-the-first-time-voice-from-speaker, with less mumbling: "Thank you, drive up to the window please." Daario to Bluetooth: "Sorry about the yelling. I swear, I don't know where they get these people. Me too, I hope they don't spit in my latte. What? HA HA HA, you're right, if the latte comes with foam I'll know they spit in it, HA HA HA."
A lot of them have drive-thrus. But I prefer to go inside to properly doctor my three-shot espresso (mocha powder, sugar, whole milk).... Anyway, back to the thread! Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da... Duuuuuuuh, duuuh, duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh (duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh....) "You're a talker. Talking makes me thirsty." (gulp gulp gulp) "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. And hungry. Think I'll take two chickens."
Spoiler This is pretty much how I feel. I'm a book reader, and while I wasn't necessarily in love with the old Daario, I felt like he fit the role pretty well. The new guy just seems kinda nowhere, and I agree with the Starbucks/Prius thing.
I can understand people hating Daario's new actor based on his performance in all that screen time he's had already this season. I mean by now I think we've seen enough of him that we know everything about him.

a nice non-spoiler infographic explaining the backstory surrounding why Oberyn Martell showed up in King's Landing spoiler tags for size Spoiler
If this has been explained in the show already, please answer: why did the Lannisters kill Elia and the Mad King? Seemed like they helped the Stark/Baratheon families, yet they hate each other currently.
