It is known.

It is known. (Also, have you read our recap?)

They’re still cute to Daenerys. They’re her babies. But her babies can burn down a house in a few minutes and they’re getting increasingly terrifying to everyone around her. At some point she will have to reckon with the fact her babies are all grown up.

Get ready for some adolescent dragon angst on Game of Thrones’s third season.

One of those major moments is an event so notorious that it has a name. Since the name gives away what happens, some fans use the initials. But to dissuade anybody from Googling the initials, the producers won’t even utter those (and neither will we). “I’ve never seen the crew so emotional,” Benioff says about shooting what he calls the “Scene Which Shall Not Be Named.” “If the scene has that effect on the people making it who know what’s coming, if they’re that overpowered, I think it’s going to have an overwhelming effect on people watching it.

A bit of Game of Thrones season 3 intel from our cover story. (Anyone who has read A Storm of Swords is FREAKING OUT right now.)

This week in EW: You may think you know how brutal HBO’s beautiful dark twisted fantasy Game of Thrones can get. But to paraphrase Wildling temptress Ygritte, “You know nothing about season 3.”

I said to the waitress, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to go for,’ and the waitress jumped in with the line [‘You know nothing, Jon Snow’]. It was very funny; it was perfect timing. I gave her a high five. Actually, I wanted to give her a high five, but it would have been incredibly lame if I did.

Game of Thrones’s Ygritte (a.k.a. Rose Leslie) remembers the best use of her catchphrase in the wild.

All my life, all I’ve ever wanted is for people to say — first of all — I’m pretty. But ‘too pretty’? Is amazing. I also loved that they said, ‘Who’s this model?’ I only ever wanted to be a model. This acting thing — three years of drama school — is an accident! I was like, ‘Wow, they think I’m a model?’ I didn’t mind it at all. I knew all the things I wanted to do to become the part. I’ve always been able to look very different very easily.

Gwendoline Christie, a.k.a. Brienne of Tarth, is sort of flattered that some people have complained about her. Full interview — the first of 15 (!) upcoming Game of Thrones features — here.

Excellent news for Game of Thrones fans: The Hold Steady has collaborated with the HBO drama to create its own take on “The Bear and the Maiden Fair.” In case you’ve read the books, that’s the boisterous tavern tune that goes like this:

“A bear there was,”
“A bear, A BEAR!
“All black and brown,”
“And covered with hair!

Eeeee, there are 12 of these!
