If anyone is wondering why there is no Game of Thrones this Sunday, it's because this May 25th is Memorial Day in the US. If anyone remembers the Blackwater episode, that episode suffered a drop in ratings due to Memorial Day. So the 8th episode of season 4 will be airing next week.
In related news, parts of season 5 will be filmed in Spain in the Andalucia region. While HBO hasn't said anything, it's popular suggested Spain is being used as a backdrop as Dorne, the land where the Martells ruled. Source Also, casting for Season 5 has begun and here are the roles HBO is looking for: Source Quote:

There are a couple of very prominent names I don't see on that list, and ones that surprise me too. But to say more, alas...

The aging up of the characters is pretty jarring when we already see how young they were in the first place like Tommen and Myrcella. We saw her being sailed away in season 2, now all of a sudden she is 18? Oh god HBO.

depends on what you would consider end 'well' but when considering the world she live that is not a bad attitude to have.

I'm not a book reader, but some of the canon ages just seemed unrealistic and silly to me; especially Daenerys, Jon, and Rob. Young teens/kids as highly competent adult-acting characters is already a stretch to me in anime sometimes, it would feel completely wrong in GoT.

To a degree this is a significant flaw in his books. Certain characters probably should have been aged up a little bit. I think it would have been better for the for the story if for example Arya was a few years older. It's not quite clear why yet at this part of the TV series, but it will become much more obvious why in future seasons if they follow the books closely. I was just going off what I read here, I don't actually know myself if they're doing it. I'd find it a bit silly though, but it's not like they didn't already do something equally stupid with Tommen so there is a precedent. Fortunately most people in the audience probably don't remember seeing Tommen and Myrcella during that scene with Sir Dontos in season 2.
