This is maybe Lyra’s story but Mrs Coulter is the best character of the series. Hands down!
I love the Fra Patel character, such a weasly looking person, and the actor plays it so well.
edit: Yoooooo, just found out the actor who plays Father MacPhail is the real-life father of the girl playing Lyra !!!
On a more serious note though. I loved that flutter of wings near Mary. So excited for what that means.
Poor Will. He's lived through so much shit at this point that he's completely unfazed when Serafina just swoops in from out of nowhere right in front of him. :joy:
Mrs Coulter could poison me and I'd thank her
Azriel's plea to the Angels at the end:
"I have struggled through many worlds to arrive here.But you know this. I have sacrificed things. Things I did not want to.My fight is not with you. But you are the last obstacle between me and my enemy.And If I must, I will raise arms. Again. My fight is with the Authority and those doling out cruelties in His name.Those who seek to divide in order to control.And who have built worlds founded on privilege and divine right rather than care and need.I fight for freedom of knowledge and in place of deceit, intolerance and prejudice.I fight for the possibilities of understanding, truth and acceptance.But I cannot win these things alone.I will need help and support.From you, and all those who have rebelled.Let us be united in heart, soul and deed.And together we could build a Republic of heaven above and a Republic of ideas below.A world in which the scars of history may be healed.Better worlds, where the privilege of freedom becomes the right of all peoples.But I tell you this now. There is no neutral ground.
You are either for me or you are against me.
Now which is it.
Answer me. Answer me!"
The Angels appear out of the clouds above and respond: "Azriel, we stand with you, Azriel Belaqua."
Azriel: "Good, then let us prepare for War."
Absolutely STUPENDOUS!
And very appropriate to what is happening right now in the world; Sept 29, 2022

Oh my god I love how Scoresby is like "Can you magic us up some fire?" and Parry closes his eye like he's actually doing magic, and even Scoresby looks at him expecting magic, then he pulls out fricken MATCHES LOL
