Yep
This. Loved everything about that moment, the visuals, the music, etc.The alethiometer reading scene where it finally clicks was perfect. Perfect!
Hmmm, where did you look? I just finished watching the premiere of ep 3 on the actual channel and I can see it listed now on HBO Go. Though I don't have HBO Now since I have the channel, so I didn't check there.

It's not "alt-history", our history is still the same.I haven't read the books but I'm essentially already fully sold on weird alt history with physical animal manifestations of one's soul and divinatory sciences/tech and so far largely 'realistically' evokes the chosen one trope and instead features it as a much more complex drama. Like they're not really wasting any time with Lyra's parentage which is refreshing.
Oh okay, yeah I just looked and don't see ep 3 listed there yet either.
I'm not trying to be anal- the whole point of the books is to show what certain differences between our world and all the others, and explore those reasons (if you've been watching up to this point they specifically state what the main one is).K if you want to be hyper-literal, my intention was to indicate an aesthetic where the world is similar to ours but followed a markedly different development but neat I suppose that much was obvious from the smart phones and stuff.
At the least I hope the series gets more people to read the novels. When the novels are finished I'm going to reread all of them.Feels like they're rushing to fit all the world building and plot into 8 episodes and the reveals are coming too fast. Hopefully the writers hold back a few for later. Having said that as a non-book reader I think they did a good job with the Gyptians the last 2 weeks. I don't even remember them from the movie.

I know this is a terrible idea that will pull attention away from Lyra's journey toward the end of the first book, but I think it would be really cool if...I'm liking the changes being made bringing story points forward with Boreal. I wonder how they will go with.Will Perry
Me too...I dunno why though. I'm still interested, just less so.
Good god Coulter acting like her monkey daemon during that fight with the Gyptian was so good and creepy and scary.

Unfortunately in the TV show they just glossed over some of the more interesting aspects of it with the beheaded explorer Stanislaus Grumman - hopefully they'll address that later if they ever get to the other books. It all sort of comes together in the next 2 books. Don't look it up- unless you've already read the books you're going to be spoiled.
Interesting to see that other-Earth has magitech beyond divinatory tools, and it's widely considered an abomination.
Also ties in with Gumman, the motivations for crossing worlds, etc.Sorry, I took you a bit harshly, tbh a part of it was from other threads/not your fault and at the time I just wanted to toss out a quick, casual, and naive endorsement. I'll keep a look out though, thanks.
Divination is peak magitech though! I wish divination being treated more like a science didn't seem quite so novel because it's potentially really powerful especially in a narrative context for foreshadowing and stuff.
For someone who didn't start this yet, how is it? Are people enjoying it?
So the reaaon theres a lot of stuff moved up is because the lead kid actress was literally not available enough to fill out enough material on her own in an episode due to child labor laws.
Thats hilarious.

In the books the Lyra/Mrs. C stuff with her living in her apartment is montaged and takes place over the course of weeks. It felt really weird as a non-book reader and I went and looked up the relevant material and it explained why it felt so weird being squashed into just a few days.Rushing? The biggest criticism of the show is that it's moving at a snail's pace....lol.
I fucking can't wait for next week. Non-book readers, my advice would be not to watch the "next on" for the rest of the show.
Why does Coulter seem so confused as to who Lyra is (she seems to be screaming the question at everyone)? Does she not know she's her mother?
