malarky1231 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Were the white walkers cgi or some dudes dressed up as urukhai? Dragons would have to be pure CGI. Adding them in a lot of scenes would be very expensive.Who says they'll be in a lot of scenes? For all we know HBO might do what they did with the Direwolves and shorten the amount of scenes they appear in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlwoman Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I don't know what the TV equivalent of throwing a book across the room is, though.Chucking throw pillows at the screen. I have an ample supply just waiting for season 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I think the single word title for this episode is fitting. It's powerful. Plus, The Great Sept of Baelor doesn't roll off the tongue easily. Sept of Baelor would have been okay.Baelor the Blessed. It would have been perfect :tantrum:(No, it's not that important). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abaddon Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Please forgive me if I am wrong, but aren't the dragons in just one scene this season?The CGI creatures in the first Narnia movie looked good. Yeah, it was a movie, but it was six years ago, and there were multiple different kinds of animals in practically every scene. I'd be really disappointed if the dragons don't look good in this scene at least, there's barely any movement required. And we've already read interviews where the someone from the effects company talks about how important it is to do the scene justice.Next season(s)... yeah, they will probably have to spend a little more money on the CGI, not just for the dragons, but for direwolves.

SergioCQH Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Baelor the Blessed. It would have been perfect :tantrum:(No, it's not that important).It's a relief you're not in charge of naming the episodes. "Baelor the Blessed" would have been a terrible name for such a tragic, climactic episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
israfel070 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Baelor was a leader who lost sight of the world around him in favor of his inner morality... Wonder if they'll explain the backstory and compare it to Ned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildenlow Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yeah I expect they'll go all out with the final scene with the fire and dragons. Expensive, yes, but it's what closes the season, and it's what they need to make people go "HOLY SHIT" and come back for the next one, I think they'll do it justice.

Aegnor Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Next season(s)... yeah, they will probably have to spend a little more money on the CGI, not just for the dragons, but for direwolves.I read somewhere that they added 6 more SFX people for season 2.

persephone88 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My biggest fear? The dragons are terribly done CGI, and THAT'S what keeps people from coming back next season.I am praying that the money they saved by not CGI-ing the direwolves went into some beautiful CGI dragons for the last ep!

Été Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I read somewhere that they added 6 more SFX people for season 2.They'll need them, too - Clash has the Battle of the Blackwater, House of the Undying, shadowbabies, and all the dragon stuff... :stunned: Hope they're talented!'Baelor' was probably picked so that when people loan the DVD boxset to their mates, those who've seen it already can moan, "OMG... Baelor!" "I know!!" at each other. Anything longer wouldn't have been as snappy or ominous. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unJon Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Right, so it's clear now why the title is just Baelor and not Baelor's Sept or Baelor the Blessed. It's what Ned tells Yoren to save Arya: Baelor . . . Baelor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misanthrope Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't think it's likely, as it's common knowledge that there will be a tenth episode, and a second season is already in the works.And I think many of them will be able to accept Ned's death once they watch Robb's destiny forever altered.Of course, I don't know how they plan on reacting to the Red Wedding. I very nearly quit reading the Books after the Red Wedding myself. It's time for Martin to pick on someone other than the Starks. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axhed Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think Baelor the Blessed wouldn't really sound as good as a title such as Baelor, since single word titles tend to have more significance ascribed to them.saying something. which is two mistakes as i count it.anyone name the movie?

Morrigan Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I very nearly quit reading the Books after the Red Wedding myself. It's time for Martin to pick on someone other than the Starks. . .I'd say he pretty much started picking on the Lannisters at the end of ASoS and in AFFC, no?Joffrey dead, Tywin dead, Myrcella disfigured, Cersei imprisoned and in deep shit, Lancel turned to fanaticism, Jaime losing his hand and his lover/sister, Kevan losing his beloved brother and working to get his son Lancel a good home and losing that too, Tyrion a disfigured, condemned fugitive... Kevan and Jaime are currently the only Lannisters that aren't in deep shit at the moment.Meanwhile, the Starks: Sansa is relatively safe at the Eyrie, though a fugitive; Arya is learning how to become an assassin; Bran is living an adventure to the North; Jon Snow is the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch; Rickon's fate is unknown but we can assume he's relatively safe with Osha. Ned, Cat and Robb died horribly, but so did Tywin and Joffrey and hopefully Cersei (and if we can believe Maggy's prophecy, Tommen and Myrcella will all die before her). All in all, I'd say the Starks are better off than the Lannisters at the moment. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojen Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 UnJon beat me to it. "Baelor" as a title does makes sense since it's the last word Ned says that had any truth to it. If you look as he's being brought out, he says it to Yoren, who then looks over and sees Arya on the statue of Baelor. He's telling Yoren to protect her. Everything he says after that is a lie.So "Baelor" doesn't refer to the sept or the man, but to the statue. It's the last word of a man who's choosing love/family over honor, as Varys begged him to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpy Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Right, so it's clear now why the title is just Baelor and not Baelor's Sept or Baelor the Blessed. It's what Ned tells Yoren to save Arya:UnJon beat me to it.<snip>So "Baelor" doesn't refer to the sept or the man, but to the statue.Not quite... As Ned is being taken out, he sees Arya on the statue of Baelor. Then when he sees Yoren he cant tell him directly where Arya is, so he says "Baelor, Baelor!" and I think nods in the direction of the statue.Yoren looks at the statue and sees Arya...So the title is an indirect reference to how Arya escapes, at least for the moment.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joza the Harper Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I just watched this episode for the first time. I had not read the books or watched the series until Season 3. The titles of the episodes seemed entirely haphazard to me. Who the hell is Baelor? What are they trying to tell us?As the guard leads him in, Ned spots Arya watching from the elevated base of the statue. He stops in front of Yoren as he is being lead to the stairs and says the single word "Baelor", hoping Yoren will look for Arya. She is behind them in the crowd and Yoren hasn't seen her.As Ned speaks from the sept stairs, he looks at both his daughters. Sansa is beside the queen, expecting Ned to be exiled. Arya is visible above the crowd, clinging to the statue. Ned "confesses" and is pushed to his knees. As he looks up to spot Arya, she is gone. He bows his head and prays.This is all about Ned's sacrifice to protect his daughters. At least he sees that Arya may have escaped with Yoren. I doubt he would have called on Yoren if he did not know he was going to die that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
