Ok, so I decided to finally catch up with the His Dark Materials series and I'm near the end of s2 and some stuff is just kinda icky...or maybe that's just me.
It's been ages since I read the books and I don't remember how it was there but: were the books making as big a deal of the difference between children and adults in regard to "sin"? Like the show makes it out like in Lyra's world as soon as a child hits puberty the adults just go "you're a sinner now". Also how /do/ they actually differentiate between child and adult? Puberty's a whole process, takes years. Hell, your brain isn't out of puberty until you're like in your 20s.
Also all the misogyny in Lyra's world is just pissing me off but I hope that's intentional xD
(Edit: Oh but I do love Ruth Wilson, she's fab)
#his dark materials#another also: what happens to people who's daemons settle as fish?#do they need to carry around tiny aquariums?#what if it settles as a big ass whale?#xD#there is also an appalling lack of people with farm animal daemons#like does no one ever get cow or pig or chicken daemons?#what about a Llama?#Also imagine you get a giraffe daemon xD#ok I'll stop now
