It's almost like a story isn't completed in the first 5 minutes of the opening episode! There's so much depth and material to the books, you have to let the story unfold and let it happen. I think they could do with not waiting too long between the first, second and inevitable third series to...

I definitely think books 2 and 3 were weaker than Northern Lights, I think the first book is inspired writing and the following two were a continuation and variance on the narrative than really building on it and driving it forward. I enjoyed both the 2nd and 3rd books a lot more on the second...

Essentially, it seems the complexity of the plot threads are lost on people unwilling/unable to invest in them. It's the equivalent of watching Breaking Bad's first season, thinking it's not going anywhere and giving up on it entirely. A series is different from a film in that it tells a story...

But without the expectation that every single person is entertained by the same programmes. I saw an episode of Ru Paul's Drag Race once and didn't find it informative, explanatory or entertaining so I didn't watch it again and started a grand total of zero threads on NSC about it. ???

We've already established you have no interest in it, so why are you continuing to watch it in order to criticise?

I'm about 500 pages into The Secret Commonwealth at the moment, no spoilers please! :thumbsup: I'm not sure how I feel about Malcolm, just generally. Another strong episode last night, I thought. Plenty of character development on John Faa and he feels like a very authentic leader of the...

:bowdown: A man who knows his HDM stuff! I think I'm wrong about the Father, I thought it was Gomez but if he's listed as Garret either it's a different character altogether, or they've changed his name. We'll see either way. I did see the second series has already been commissioned, I didn't...

To be fair though - that's how Mrs Coulter's ******* daemon was moving around, which is where there was a ladder for them to climb up on both sides. We'll see if there are air vents at Bolvangar, as there are in the book! What aspects of it did you find baffling? Boreal moving between worlds...

This is exactly where I am! I've read them all, but I only really remember Lyra's Oxford. When the series is over, I will go back and read the whole series from the start, including the tales. I hope they get worked into the series, somehow. There's scope, assuming they do 1 series per book and...

THE best series of books I've ever read, I enjoy Northern Lights more than The Subtle Knife and the Amber Spyglass, but it's quite simply the finest story I've ever read in a series. I think the TV series has been amazingly cast, and should really deliver on the source material. I've also been...
