Show Name: His Dark Materials Season/Episode: 2/3 Theft Date Aired: November 30, 2020 Where Aired: HBOmax We might want to make a mention that there is violence towards animals potentially or something and cut saying skip to ___ time stamp to skip over that part i know it can be hard for some people to hear about and stuff…  Plot Summary in a sentence Getting all the key players on the same page - it’s a race to find Lyra, Lyra needs to grow up, but that’s bad right? Whatever you do, don’t lose the… what do you mean you lost it? Lyra leaves to try to find more about dust, does not tell Will and gets in a bunch of trouble. While lyra is in the other world being found out her world is slowly dying and some serious bonding is happening. What’s your word? Race Oops Feels Slow Story talking points: (I am going to lead the conversation by character rather than sequence since it jumps around so much finishing up with Lyra) Witches and iorek- Bird tells Iorik about Lyra’s destiny and he is mad that they are usingLyra as a toy. Azreal hole in the sky is messing with everyone because of the weather (seals, fog cant see with telescope, fog stops Mrs coulter from traveling) It's nice to see Iorek again.  I thought it was going to be a massive spoiler. I think I missed this. Lee and Mrs Coulter- Starts with Grumman calling to the wind and Lee “return” The ring is not what Joey expected Lee in the bar “now that we are friends” lol  Lee’s face when the guy calls Grumman a heretic - he and Hester have a look like we gotta get out of here. He says “amen” cool as can be I thought Ms. Coulter was pretty consistent but Manuel’s acting just ruined Lee for me in this scene. Both of them interacted weirdly because of it. Hester and Lee : “he gave you no choice, you didn't shoot to kill” obviously doesn’t like killing people... Did anyone else notice Lee’s Texan accent all but disappears in this moment? And I don’t think it came back.  ^^^ THIS ^^^^  I was thinking it was def less pronounced in this episode and it just slowly disappears like wut. Mrs Coulter “I’m her mother.” Lee “so” Lee sees on her face that she went through the same abusive childhood “of course you did”  I believed it, I was grateful when it came. - it wont break me and you know it because it wouldn’t break you either. Hester nuzzles him and Mrs coulter goes to the brick wall. Monkey tries to tentatively hold her hand (she allows it) Boreal decides to tellMrs coulter. It must have been before the happenings with Lyra this episode because of post taking time, so why tell her now? ^Joey has a reason for that “People will be looking for her not all of them good. If you find her please, keep her safe” Also do daemons bleed? hester didn’t seem as injured as lee THE MONKEY JUST TOSSES THAT SNAKE DAEMON AFTER SMASHING ITS HEAD INTO THE GROUND WHATTTTTT SO GOOD AND SO UPSETTING Why didn’t the snake dissolve into nothing like the other daemons?  Guess he’s not dead? Mary Malone- (No y)  Saves Lyra helps her get away. Asks simple question need simple answer - cave doesn’t give it to her, but universe does. At home great with her niece and nephew too. Sister says break through at home.  She reads I Ching at home and the cave reacts. I liked that she was more worried about how she was doing instead of where she was like everyone else seems to be focusing on. And once she found out she was safe her whole demeanor changed Will left behind- Conversation with creepy girl #1 - ghost in the tower built by the guild (group of men) philosophers. Tabitha is the creepy girl  Wiki says her name is angelica  I came back to fix that just now, I’m glad you caught it too!  It was cool to get the information this way vs in the book. You hear the same thing twice which was annoying but kinda fun to see an adult tell it vs a kid telling it. Lyra and Boreal in the car- He calmly explains to her how to fasten her seatbelt. “My mother will be worried.” “I’m sure she will” Did anyone else scream at Lyra right then? Just me? Okay.  Boreal’s Face omg! Lyra and Will- He so quickly forgives her and they work together to try to solve the problem Pan watching the movie is the cutest. Cheesy Paddington Bear going through a portal window.   Are they gonna bench switch on me?  Legit haven’t seen paddington sooooooo does that movie connect with this show in a way or what is the connection why this movie? Hahaha her eating popcorn (my comfort food) “this tastes horrible, then stop eating it, no” dead. Lyra and will and Boreal at the end- I’m a collector - you’re a thief )this is a bit of a heavy conversation, but important.  Shoshie for the win- not specifically the magisterium getting the knife, but Boreal is the more worthy nemesis I think. “We’ll get your knife” will standing up and the look on his face like Lyra you are crazy to be so brave, but I got your back, while still being cautious. This scene in the book is intense! Pan leaps out in cat form to attack and he isn’t freaked by it at all and will catch a glimpse of his snake daemon oof so cool. Favorite character this episode? Hard today. - Hester I had typed something but I changed my mind, I have a lot of favorites. Kinda don’t know who to choose… coulter perhaps.. You see a lot of her and learn more about why she is the way she is and she opens up a little and trusts someone Technical Talking Points (music, lighting, editing): The clothes in the mining town Lee goes to  Shot above chili Anne The color palette in the town with Lee was absolutely luscious. Best part of the episode LOL I Ching - bagua map matches the interior seating of the magisterium The book that Mary uses for her journaling! Love it. The leather snapping pouch that the letters are kept in Using Pan as a look out on the run was so much fun. Boreal has the coolest car, I’m disappointed I do not also have the coolest car.  Was disappointed in Lyra a little this episode Hester’s face when she watches the Daemon particulate.  The shots were so nice! They really paid attention to how each town and place is different. You can tell there are different people living there with different cultures and languages and style of dress. There was lots of thought into how they live and stuff.  Seemed like there were more daemons in shots like big shots  The noise when the daemons walk is too cute! In the bar hesters little hops and pans everything The fur blowing in the wind when hester is in the balloon and Ioreks neck skin flapping in the wind a bit haha  Joey has a thing about wants/needs she wants to talk about Joey will do a Pateron/ follow us ploy again.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
