I assume that the producers expect that as we are watching a show where people ride dragons we can also suspend belief and accept that in 10 years a woman with a very unusual look will completely change her features to be quite ordinary looking and unrecognisable from the previous episode.
She's had kids

I assume you are talking about Milly Alcock vs Emma D'Arcy?
Have you watched the episodes of The House That Dragons Built? They cast the older versions first.
What’s The House that Dragons built?
But yes, those actors. Zero resemblance. -

Lots of side effects to that for sure but having your nose grow and eyes remodelled are things I hadn’t noticed before 😀

In the book she’s actually quite chunky due to the kids - if the show runners were stunning and brave they would have used an attractive but larger actress. But no she gotta be slim and willowy, despite being involved in the 50% chance to die everytime childbirth (at least) 3 times

It's a 20-25 min behind the scenes look of each episode, shown after each episode airs. There are also shorter versions on YT.
But yes, those actors. Zero resemblance.
I don't have a problem. If I was to be critical of anything, it is that Matt Smith hasn't aged 10 years.

He’s a Timelord, duh

I hated the change in actors, just fucken confusing that half of them changed and half didn't, just made it seem silly. Not like they changed Uhtred in The Last Kingdom, that dude was ageless but who cares. They can do other stuff to age actors, and I much preferred the younger actors to the new ones. We get invested in the characters and when they change you lose that investment of sorts, seems stupid to me.

I'm guessing it is because you are watching behind the scenes stuff.
It's not a biggie and was only a momentary re-adjustment but for anyone not in the know that time jump was made extra jarring by wondering who you were watching.
For me it was 'is that the princess? Doesn't look anything like her but I guess it must be' -

This briefly explains the time jump and casting.
Point is that like many, I am watching the show not the post episode explanation and the show jump was jarring. Again, not a biggie, but still jarring.
-
It'd be nice if they just put a caption up saying when the time jump happened and how big it was? I got confused when the Queen suddenly had kids in the previous episodes, and this time it took a while to figure out who was who. Hard to follow the timeline just watching the show without that.

Looks like the next (E08) will jump again (10 years or so), on youtube I saw Aemond as an adult on the video image.

Gotta say I have lost interest over the last two episodes. Not sure what it is but just not enjoying it. I like the younger versions and these old ones just not doing it for me.
Even though they are the same characters, it doesn't feel that way. In addition, the time jumps mean so much is introduced the canned before the end of the episode. Like daemon's wife, seemed pretty interesting, big fuck off dragon. Dead before the episode ended, yawn

Yep, a lot of the child actors seem to have been replaced - again.
I thought that the beginning of this episode was boring but it ended stronger.

A 6 year jump for this episode. The best so far though.
My minor quibble is Aemond seems a lot older than the other boys even though he is the youngest son. But yes, that was an improvement on the last.
