[Ax^]

please be good please be good

 

[Rebelda]

please be good please be good

Don't!

 

[D'wards]

Early reports are it is good.

Hope they do the books 2 and 3. They get quite nutty and literally out of this world

 

[Ax^]

just hope they don't amend the story to much to appeal to the yanks

they removed the idea of them boning in the 3rd book to make it more palatable for US readers

 

[kebabking]

Impressive. Most impressive....

 

[Saffy]

I enjoyed that.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Arrh have to do catch up

 

[D'wards]

From reading Twitter it seems Book Wankers, like me, have enjoyed it.
Everyone else seems..

 

[Orang Utan]

Not bad! Way better than the Golden Compass of course. The CGI is leagues ahead.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Yep that's me! I'm going to watch it because people like it so much but at this stage, no idea what's going on

 

[mx wcfc]

Yep, that's Sunday night telly sorted for a while.

His Dark Materials review – a riveting realisation of Philip Pullman's magic

Roger: she's special
Asriel: everyone's special
Rebelda: *sob*

The casting is great, I can't wait to see more of the gyptians. Aesthetically spot on for me so far.

I'm already on the gyptians side, despite not having a clue what's going on.

Read the books read the books! Do it now

They are on the shelf behind me, but I haven't read a novel in years.

DO IT NOW

Ignore me. I've loved these books for over two decades. I'm a bit overcome

 

[PursuedByBears]

That was great!

 

[FiFi]

It all looked very pretty, and well made. I’m hoping it doesn’t tone down the anti-clericalism that’s implied in the books.

 

[belboid]

Not bad! Way better than the Golden Compass of course. The CGI is leagues ahead.

Same people did the cgi in both! I suppose both it and they have generally got better since

 

[colacubes]

Massive from me. All spot on so far.

 

[BristolEcho]

Personally thought it was a bit slow and didn't enjoy the "everyone's special" scene. Bit overtop in my eyes.

But.... I know I will love it and it was still good. It looks great and acting is good. I have found the first book a bit boring when I've tried to re-read the series so that's probably why I wasn't too bothered tonight.

First episode just setting the scene. I did also think the preview for the next episode went on. Might as well have shown us the whole episode.

All this!
Oh my, this is going to be rather wonderful!
I'm so fucking emotional

I don't get the feeling it will, but we'll see

 

[sunnysidedown]

there's nothing worse than a good story getting BBC'd. Awful.
