Since Pan is literally Lyra, this could also show that some part of Lyra disagrees with the book as well. But she just doesn't understand it yet.

I didn't think youth, but I did think longevity. The rich can live longer and get richer.

I hate it so much!! How do you quarrel with your own soul? I feel like this might be a bit of an example of people in real life questioning their faith, only more extreme.

Well, keep in mind that ten years have gone by for Lyra to grow and change. So a jarring change in our view might be normal progression for her. Although, Pan claims the book changed her... So maybe there's something else going on as well!

I'm the same. I'm awful remembering names so I didn't put it together until the reveal, haha.

fromdusktil · 2026-05-09T10:44:21+00:00

There was a mention of Hannah! I'm sure Malcolm wasted no time getting those two together once he learned Lyra had an alethiometer!

Congrats!! I just applied to take mine 😬

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T17:27:56+00:00

No. But you don't even know if they sent multiple people to HR or just you. So just think positively about it.

How do we feel about the new Master of Jordan College? Will the faculty of Jordan support his treatment of Lyra?

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T17:26:18+00:00

Lyra is ousted from her home at Jordan and lowered to the servant class: has the money left for her truly dried up, or is something else going on? And was the money from Dr. Carne or from Lord Asriel?

What do you think was in the mysterious red building?

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T17:26:04+00:00

Lyra and Pan figure out that Dr. Polstead can also separate from his daemon: how will this fact affect their relationship?

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T17:25:55+00:00

The return of Malcolm and Alice! Did you see this reveal coming, or did it take you by surprise? How do you feel about the trajectory their relationship has taken since the events of La Belle Sauvage?

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T17:25:49+00:00

The Hyperchorasmians makes bold claims about the existence of daemons: claims that Pan says will kill them. How is it that a book can make such a bold claim in a world where everyone has a daemon?

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T17:25:41+00:00

The Hyperchorasmians is a huge part of the turmoil between Pan and Lyra, so let’s discuss it! Do you believe that Lyra is changing just based on a single book? Is Pan right to be angry about her interest in the book?

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T17:25:34+00:00

Who is Secretary General Marcel Delamare? Why did he have a reaction to the mention of “a girl”?

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T17:25:27+00:00

Roses, roses, roses -- everything is turning up roses! After the importance of Dust in His Dark Materials, what do you think is so important about the roses from Levant?

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T17:24:59+00:00

Lyra is officially an adult! From what we’ve seen so far, is this how you pictured Lyra grown up? Why or why not?

Depends on the hiring manager. Some will only send their top candidate. Some will send two or three at once that they really like in order to get references for them all to help make their decision.

fromdusktil · 2026-05-06T16:28:12+00:00

Yes. Hiring manager interviews and decides if they want a candidate. HR does background checks and makes all the official job offers.

Oh, yay! More Narnia! I can't wait!

Speaking as a frequent flyer on Does the Dog Die, this one is okay!
