I think the portrayal of the daemons is very well done in this series - the scene near the end when Lyra and Pan, along with Farder Coram, were running to Ma Costa and Tony, showed Pan flying and then turning into a weasel/ferret/marten in the blink of an eye. Just as I imagined it while reading the book. I thought the scene where the golden monkey was holding Benjamin’s hawk daemon down was also well done, and when the hawk died, she just dissolved into Dust, which was a clever touch. When Lyra learned to use the alethiometer, I would have liked to see more visual effects to show how her mind worked while using it, and how the meanings of the symbols came to her.

Gosh, she and Summer look a bit alike! Alyvia has a new YA dystopian series on Netflix.

I will just say that I fell in love with Wales after reading (and rereading, several times) Sharon Kay Penman’s Welsh trilogy of historical fiction, and frequently think about which actors would be ideal choices to play Llywelyns Fawr and ap Gruffydd!

I always remember my Francophone neighbour when I lived in Ottawa - she was from Berthierville IIRC - one time she cautioned me to not “à côté” myself “on the poteau there”, referring to the freshly painted porch railing 😄

I enjoyed the first episode 👍🏼 I’ve read the original trilogy a few times, and just finished the second book in the Book of Dust trilogy (The Secret Commonwealth). I thought the Magisterium headquarters was suitably menacing.

Peaches, it used to be, certainly! But I don’t know if “kids these days” use the expression. I think I remember saying it myself when I was younger.

I liked John Driscoll.

Is the double L like a “th” sound? Oh no, I’m wrong, I think - the “th” sound is the double D, isn’t it?

“Close My Eyes Forever” was a favourite of mine when I was 18 or 19...back in the day when I liked hair metal 😄

I would like to get Britbox, but I already subscribe to Netflix and I’m seriously considering getting the new Disney streaming service solely for the Marvel content 😄

Forgive me if this is a stupid question (it’s late and I’m tired 😄), but are you in Canada? If so, you can watch the eps on the CBC website or the Gem app - they have the last 30 days’ worth of episodes. Unfortunately, if you’re not in Canada, Gem is geoblocked.

I saw a clip on Twitter of Gail talking to Bethany, and her bangs are so long that they were catching on her eyelashes. That would drive me bonkers!

I’ve only watched the short clips on the official Corrie twitter page, and even those are enough to make me cry!

Who is Billy supposed to be - Slash? 🤣

I went back through a Corrie updates site that I follow, and according to that, she found out that she was pregnant at the end of April. Supposing that she was about eight weeks/two months along when she found out, that makes her almost eight months now.

I haven’t watched for almost three months, but I am still following the storylines on social media and googling spoilers 😄 I can’t bear to watch Sinead’s storyline 😭 I have read the spoilers about the birth of Gemma’s quads. It’s just so unrealistic that it makes me angry - in real life, there is every likelihood that she would be on bedrest this late in her pregnancy, never mind traipsing around to soccer games or up in a cable car! I mean, come on. I understand a little suspension of disbelief, but that’s ridiculous.

Still one of the best car commercials!

I am so very sorry for your family’s loss, Teri. Thank you for letting us know. We Preverts will miss her 😢

Interstate Love Song will always remind me of the summer of 1995 (even though it was released in September 1994 😄)

That is my favourite AiC song...but Layne was in such bad shape there 😢 A friend posted Chris Cornell’s cover of Billie Jean on Facebook the other day. Still a devastating loss 😢😢

Well, new babies are always a wonderful thing!

Alyvia Alyn Lind (Faith) is in a new Netflix series called Daybreak, coming out October 24; also starring Matthew Broderick.

I liked Nikki’s dress, too. Hated Chelsea’s sweater - it looked so stupid 😄

I’m sorry, Peaches 😢❤️

I’m so sorry 😢
