Oh my GOSH the HDM finale
So, so good. I can’t believe how blown away I’ve been by this show. I actually, whisper it, I think I like it more than the book. (There was always something about Pullman’s writing style that didn’t quite click with me, as good as he is.) But even though I either knew already or easily guessed everything that was going to happen, I was a nervous heartbroken wreck by the end of it.
My god, it was SUCH a good adaptation decision to have The Golden Compass run alongside the first chapter of The Subtle Knife, damn. I thought the last scene of the episode might be Will and Lyra stepping through their respective portals and I was right, what an ending!
I’m annoyed I haveta wait a year to see the rest but at least I can properly reread the books now. (Maybe I’ll end up liking them more than the show after all, who knows?) And in the meantime, I can submerge myself in the beautiful, beautiful visuals and music.
(Oh, also, the BBC started airing their take on A Christmas Carol after HDM ended. It’s not good. At all.)
