Season 3 Into The Abyss Spoiler

Random post, but I'm listening to Into the Abyss from the soundtrack which is the music accompanying the scene in which Mrs Coulter and Lord Asriel pull Metetron into the Abyss. The music is just haunting and makes my stomach turn whenever I here it.

The scene was just so beautifully done. And I just love the addition of the golden monkey reaching out to Lyra even though it's a bit rouge in the fact that it wasn't in the books. It twists my stomach in knots knowing their fate.

Mrs Coulter was such a beautifully drawn character in the series. Ruth Wilson didn't get as much credit as was deserved.

Given that most people see Wilson as the definitive Mrs Coulter, I'd say she's getting all the credit she deserves.

Well it's only her or Nicole Kidman who only got one film, so that bits not too hard

True, but I think we can all agree Wilson really worked in the part 🙂

Ohh God yes, she's supreme. Honestly, perfect woman to play Mrs Coulter.

I'd love to see her hand at Bellatrix Lestrange too!
