HBO His Dark Materials Pan

We learned a lot in the new episode of ‘His Dark Materials,’ including this: If you want to intimidate a college dean, try flipping over some books! Might not work but heck, worth a shot.

HDM 1.3: Oh Snap! God Cops!

Spoilers ahead!

Holy plot developments! Based on how much we learned in Episode 3 of HBO’s His Dark Materials, it’s safe to say this young TV show is maturing quite rapidly!

Consider these plot points:

  • Lyra learns to use her golden compass

  • Mrs. Coulter learns Lyra has a golden compass

  • The Gyptians learn they’re about to meet some witches

  • Lyra learns some more hot family tree gossip

And as per usual, Greta Johnsen, Tricia Bobeda and Peter Sagal are here to break it all down. Listen to the latest recap, and remember that we also want to hear from you! Join the conversation and share your own theories with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #NerdetteRecaps.
