.roxana_hadadi, McHenryJD, and kvanaren share their hopes and worries for the final season of HisDarkMaterials, which has to tackle some of the most difficult and strange material from Philip Pullman’s book trilogy

Lord Asriel has some capable allies in the form of Gallivespians Chevalier Tialys and Lady Salmakia, Lilliputian-size humans who ride around on dragonflies and carry powerful toxins to sneak attack their enemies. HBO and the BBC are already pretty resistant to spending too much of their budget on putting dæmons onscreen, but they better not scrimp on the dragonfly footage. They use those things like helicopters! Crucial, truly, to understanding this bonkers story.

Each teen tries to settle back into their “normal” lives with Mary Malone taking Will under her wing and Lyra returning to Jordan College, where she decides to properly study the alethiometer now that she can no longer intuitively read it.
