I thought it was a strong finale, and very loyal to the books. The visuals and cinematography were just incredible from start to finish. Some of the casting was weird. Dafne was not the best choice for Lyra IMO, but I felt she grew into the role as the series progressed. When she had to leave Pan behind, and when her mother's monkey dissolved, and then when she had to leave Will...ugh! She does the big emotions very well. Her mumbling line delivery did bug me until the very end, though. Enunciate, girl!

The dude who played Father Gomez was super hot, like WTF?!

Mary was PERFECT. The scene where she described her life changing moment was exactly what it needed to be. Though I'm still unclear on why Lyra and Will falling in love created so much dust. Don't teenagers fall in love all of the damn time? Was it because they were in that specific world, where no other humans existed?

Ruth Wilson, Amir Wilson, and Simone Kirby were perfection. The best casting for me. And the opening credits are among the best of all time. I never, ever skipped them. Just epic!

I think it was a mix of their importance (him being the knife bearer and her "being" Eve) and this being their first time in their life falling in love. And well as it was said, it was a nice boost for the moment but would not have been enough to heal the worlds etc.

I agree, I loved the opening credits and watched them every time.
