Theres a fight, will loses fingers, john perry and lee meet, coulter and boreal thru the window What’s your word? Confused careing Story talking points: Lyra and Will Finding the way into the tower a bit lame, but I did like them opening the door together and the discussion they had about who goes first. And the look of going upstairs. The fight scene was ok, I generally get bored in fight scenes especially when they are shot up close, I can’t seem to follow along.  Pan says “I’ve got the knife.” Pan comforting Will. Lyra saying you can’t shut the pain out, you have to accept it and work with it. I know it hurts. Bath scene mirrors her in the bath and roger visiting. But she is the helper and support. She is learning.  Lee is on the way to help her find the person she has already found. She doesn’t really need his help, but I think she needs his belief.  Mrs. Coulter and Boreal -Carlo? How many freaking names lol-  -keeps her cool when he tells her about the windows to worlds  - her face when she is at the window is so cool And snakeskin shoes lol poor boreal. Lee and Joprey -  -I was annoyed by Hester’s voice -I was disappointed in Grumen, I wanted to really like his character.  -It was cool how his shaman fingers moved at the end to make the wind move like Lyra does for the alethiometer. -How the heck did he end up with a daemon?  -Joprey says about asriel “don’t confuse the man with the mission.” I have thoughts. He also says the “right side”. There is an obsession again with answers and clarity.  Witches and Magisterium -again I wish I felt more connected to these women. I should, because I want to be and know enough to feel like I should be, but I feel like they keep the viewers as outsiders.  -war table and guns vs an ice pick. Ruta skati - “Ariel needs to return and finish what he started.” ? I am confused by this line. Mary Malone -The second she hears defense funding she says no - leave. - Her face when he says “I’ve always admired a woman with a good work ethic.” - I hate the scene with her talking to the dark matter in the cave. It sounds pompous. “Evidently.” Us-uncountable billions - angels - making, stimulating, guiding. “Vengeance.” Favorite character this episode? Will Technical Talking Points (music, lighting, editing): Will punching the kid and didn’t even grimmace.  The knife is so cool, and the cutting and sealing of windows is cool. The colors of Mrs. Coulter’s clothes. Red for bad ass in your face, teal for I just want to fit in. (Like the wives in that on show.) You could see the old mans cut off fingers in the gloves when he shakes will hand and it was funny. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
