One thing which the film did really well was the way the daemon's transformed and the transition of the dust particles when they did. In this it seems like in one scene Pan is a ferret and then in another scene he's something else.

Can I make a polite request that anybody who’s read the books says the stuff that hasn’t been in the tv series in spoilers? I’d love to remain completely unspoiled as this goes on.

...this is going to be such a pleasure watch on Sunday evenings..:love:...Ruth Wilson is a tremendous Mrs Coulter...:lovedup:..
|
This HBO promo for the rest of the season is epic :clap1:
The bears at the end look so ****ing good. And Lyra's "show him he's nothing" :worship: |
Non-book readers - can you understand what's going on? I love the books, but I wonder how those who've not read it are finding the show.

Loooved episode 2!
I have to say I love how they're expanding on certain elements and characters from the books while still remaining faithful to the core story. They're striking the perfect balance between staying true but also providing new things for book readers. I'm enjoying the increased presence of Boreal, MacPhail, Roger and the Master and how seamlessly the extra content fits into the established events of Northern Lights. The golden monkey attacking Pan was as uncomfortable to watch as I hoped it would be. And Ruth's Mrs Coulter is still blowing me away. So so perfect. |

Third episode was a bit slower but it was mainly an episode to set up Lyra's journey north. Can't wait for Iorek ****ing Byrnison to arrive next week! :flutter:
https://media3.giphy.com/media/ZBtsd...k99r/giphy.gif I was initially slightly disappointed when they revealed Grumman = John Parry already. I was mindblown when I got to that in the books and was looking forward to viewers who haven't read them reacting to the reveal. But that said, introducing John and Will Parry early (if not physically) is a really cool way to adapt the story and build up future storylines. The way they've expanded on the characters from the books has been one of my favourite things about this adaptation. My favourite scene from the episode has to be Mrs Coulter and her daemon's synchronised attack on Benjamin and his demon / his suicide and that striking image of his daemon evaporating in front of the monkey. So cool all round. |
Agree with all of that, Lostie. And oooo yeah, the bear…. can't wait to see him. I think the whole thing has been utterly brilliant. I was so disappointed when they didn't follow up the Golden Compass film, but this is hitting the spot.
Oh, and brilliant casting with Mrs Coulter. She's terrifying. |
Started the books so I'll binge this in the new year sometime. :love:

Quick question, why is Pan different sizes in different scenes?

Loved the latest episode. So good to finally see Iorek, Lee, Hester and Kaisa. Can't wait for Serafina to arrive now :clap1: The panserbjorne look so good, these production values are cinematic :flutter:
The scene of Lyra and Pan watching the northern lights :love: I love anything wintry and Arctic based so I'm glad we've reached the heavily North based portion of the book now :laugh: I feel so sad for the golden monkey :( Although Mrs Coulter's cruelty towards him (which I don't remember being in the books?) is a great way to illustrate her self loathing and flesh her out even more. I have a feeling episode is gonna be a particularly good one. Spoiler: (book spoilers in the tags) |

Right although I thought he changed from small fox size back to stoat size again and then back to fox size :laugh: confusing! |
Well last episode was devastating as I expected! Anne Marie Duff was phenomenal in Billy's death scene :worship: There's a fair bit of anger over the omission of him clutching a dead fish in place of his missing daemon and as much as I wish they included that, I thought the episode was still brilliant.
Really surprised by the official introduction of Will :shocked: I wasn't massively interested in his scenes this episode just because the main storyline was so engrossing but I'm really intrigued by his early introduction. It works well too because what we see with him and his mother would have been happening while Northern Lights was taking place anyway. Serafina finally arriving too :worship: She was great. Not 100% on them giving her short hair but the rest of her character design and Ruta's portrayal were perfect. Bolvangar at the end was suitably sinister, can't wait to see more of it tonight. |
Also I'd have no idea David Suchet voices Kaisa if I didn't already know. He's such a bloody versatile actor
|
I am loving this show!
|
i am loving this series so far :) it fills the gap the ending GoT left very nicely :hee:
James Cosmo :clap2: Ruth Wilson is actually one of my mom's fave actresses of now :love: |
So I've been neglecting posting about this for the last few episodes since I've been so awol but the finale was phenomenal :lovedup: Genuinely one of my favourite episodes of TV I've ever seen.
Where they might not have reached the full potential of certain big scenes from the book over the course of the season, Roger and Salcilia's deaths actually managed to be worse (in a good way) in the TV series. Even though I knew it was coming that scene still managed to genuinely disturb me. Salcilia's "Roger, I don't want to leave you" hit me especially hard. But the whole episode was just brilliant. The character work, the emotion, the gorgeous visuals, everything. :worship: Oh and Dafne Keen was so so good in her last scene! |
Yeah the whole show was great. I liked that Will was introduced in the first season, I guess his storyline was happening more or less in sync with Lyra's, and them crossing over to Citt at about the same time makes sense.

Toniiiiight

So I'm loving season 2. Mary communicating with the angels last week gave me chills.
Pretty sure the voice in that scene was Sophie Okonedo as Xaphania, who also did the opening narration for this episode and the season opener. Continuing the tradition of introducing certain characters earlier than the books did, one of my favourite things about this adaptation. |
