We're back, covering the final installment of the first season of His Dark Materials on BBC/HBO. After an episode recap, we dive into a little bit of speculation about the future of the series.

As always, there is a blanket spoiler warning if you have not seen the entire first season of His Dark Materials on BBC/HBO.

Additional spoiler warning at 39:40 - book spoilers for the whole His Dark Materials book series. 

Verbal spoiler warnings are given. 

For an episode titled 'The Fight to the Death', we didn't actually get to see any death, or even that much fighting. Pete and Laura recap the episode and then dive into a spoiler ridden after party section full of book knowledge and lamentation for what we'll never see on the small screen. 

As usual, :::blanket spoiler warning::: if you haven't watched all current episodes.

At 38min the after party spoiler warning is in effect as well. Book knowledge and spoilers for the rest of the series are present.

Verbal spoiler warnings are given.

Pete and Laura are back with another unofficial recap of what we thought was the best episode of this series so far. 

:::Blanket spoiler warning::: 

As always, please proceed with caution if you are not current with all the episodes released up to and including the episode titled 'The Daemon-Cages'. Also, please keep in mind that we are both book readers. We occasionally share tidbits of book knowledge that we feel do not spoil the plot arc of the HBO/BBC series. 

Additional spoiler warning at 49:30 - we have a post-recap after-party full of book spoilers and speculation. 

Verbal spoiler warnings are given.

We continue to wonder whether our favorite book moments will ever see screen time as we pass the halfway point in the first season and continue to move through Lyra's world at breakneck pace. Opinions dujour: Dafne Keen's performance is about as peak-Lyra as we could ever hope for; we thought it would be a lot darker and snowier in the north; and the show makes two of its most suspect adaptation choices in the same episode.

There is blanket spoiler warning for the whole episode if you are not up to date with the HBO/BBC adaptation of His Dark Materials.

There is an additional spoiler warning for those who don't want to be spoiled by book knowledge beginning at 55:30.

Verbal spoiler warnings are given.

As always, there is a blanket spoiler warning if you have not seen the show through episode 4 titled 'Armour'.

At 55min there is a further spoiler warning for those who haven't read The Golden Compass/Northern Lights. A verbal spoiler warning is given.
