would not be bring it up if i was not watching it

waiting for the frothy response from the Christians at the end of the series

 

[spitfire]

Cool. Cheers. Will watch later when the living room is mine.

 

[Rebelda]

Argh I'm nervous. How the hell are they going to put the Amber spyglass on telly? also they've dropped the whole thing at once and I think that might be too much for a Rebelda to handle

 

[May Kasahara]

Yes Rebelda there's so much story to cram into this series, so much detail; how on earth are they going to do it?

Also, daughter and I watched the first two series together, it was our thing and she was absolutely rapt. We watched it this evening but she was sketching on her tablet/texting her mate/casting half an eye at the screen and now I am sad

My O has left the room :fistbump:

 

[Rebelda]

neonwilderness have you read the third book yet?

 

[Ax^]

not sure myself if we are all going to be disappointed by the pay off


seeming as I'm not really a doctor who fan,

Can the BBC pull it off

 

[neonwilderness]

neonwilderness have you read the third book yet?

Yes, but I still haven’t watched this

 

[Ax^]

read the bloody book its aimed at kids

 

[Rebelda]

Yes, but I still haven’t watched this

What any of it?

 

[Storm Fox]

Spoiler: Regarding the end of the book

I sat in the seat in the Oxford Botanic Gardens mentioned at the end of the book. I hope they use that location in the final episode

I have the feeling I'm not going to be doing that much work tomorrow. I have episodes to watch. Hopefully, I can set some tests running and watch an episode while they are running, paperwork be damned.

*shakes fist at phil

I'm worried Phil will croak before he writes/finishes it

 

[scifisam]

Is this BSL or ASL and did the film BSL for BBC and ASL for HBO

It's BSL. I haven't actually watched it yet but I know it's BSL.

It's highly unlikely the actress also knows ASL, because it's the same as asking an actor to speak in both English and French, but with less opportunity to learn it - and also having to learn another language (English), so ASL would be a third language.

 

[Rebelda]

I'm worried Phil will croak before he writes/finishes it

No no he's not allowed

 

[scifisam]

My O has left the room :fistbump:

Jay forgot we'd watched it together because her memory is weirdly seclective.

We are now supposed to watch the first two seasons together before I'm allowed to watch this one. I have proposed that this is very unfair on me, and I will not spoiler her. I mean, I'd be spoilering her for the first two seasons anyway!

 

[neonwilderness]

What any of it?

No

I might not start it over Christmas

 

[Rebelda]

Seriously massive spoiler. MASSIVE. Don't come crying to me.

Spoiler: big fucking spoiler

I haven't got that far yet, but I don't want to watch Lara leave Pan I can't read that bit without snot crying and chest heaving sobs.

Spoiler: Another Big Fucking Spoiler-regarding the end of the Golden Compass

It's the ending that got to me; I felt kind of bereaved for several days

Spoiler: chat contd.

I can't bring myself to even think about watching that yet

I was going to ask you what episode you were talking about. But no need now, because I’ve just noticed there’s a glitch with Urban whereby if you quote a post with spoilers, the part of the post hidden by the spoiler post is visible to the person quoting it.

As it happens you haven’t spoiled anything for me so no sweat- not that it would have been your fault anyway.

 

[May Kasahara]

Rebelda massive fistbump there. Also I cried nonstop reading the last four chapters of TAS, so have already warned C that there will be mum tears throughout this series. Maybe that's why she isn't bothered about watching it with me

ah it a book wanker spoiler sort of thing so if you are fresh to it now split milk

Never been that bothered about such stuff anyway. As it happens, I’ve just created a thread reporting the bug in the Feedback forum, because I know some people do get genuinely upset if something is spoiled to them even if accidentally

Going back to the subject matter, perhaps I am not remembering the books well, but Asriel comes across as completely unlikeable. Was he so in the books?

 

[Ax^]

single focus driving character who truly believes the means are justified by the end result

plus you saw how he opened up the first window in the Aurora


he has always been a bit of a dick but with a noble cause
