Lyra Belacqua is a liar.
But, of course, she evolves.
In this adaptation, we havent seen much of Lyra the Liar.
In fact, weve witnessed some moments when the opposite is true.
(I laughed out loud at this.
Not wanting in on a secret?
Im not so sure.
Dafne Keens Lyra is obsessed with lies but only because her entire world has been built on one.
Both her parents abandoned her.
Worse still, Lyras guardians, the scholars the supposed champions of truth and original thinking supported the charade.
But she also doesnt know them enough to trust them.
In speaking to Farder Coram and John Faa, she suggests theyre holding her prisoner.
In rescuing Lyra, the Gyptians also manage to capture one of the Gobblers, and Benjamin interrogates him.
The scandal, meanwhile, made Mrs. Coulter a pariah.
The shame of it all, Ma Costa explains, is why shes like she is.
Not buying it.)
Mrs. Coulter has a pistol and shoots Benjamin as Tony escapes out the window.
How are you with heights?, she asked Lyra last week.
Ive never been sure about them.
I can never get away from the occasional urge to jump.
All the while, Lord Boreal is a-schemin.
Hes from this world, not Boreals, despite the fact that he has a daemon in the photogram.
Is that right, Raymond?
Stand up and answer, man.
Which, of course, he doesnt.
Theres no other bang out of daemon that Pullman gets this intense about.
Dude just loves catsso much.
Wasnt that the whole subtext of the argument over the purse?
Can someone explain the karate to me?
What is happening there?
