    What have my eyes just seen !?

    That's great , an epic episode . A marvelous performance , everything is on top

    The cinematography is fantastic , you can pause at any scene and print this photo , CGI is great too

    If it had swords and fights people would be talking about it , very underrated

    Can't wait for season 2 !!

When Mrs. Coulter is approaching Asriel, Roger's body is lying down on his side, but when she walks away at around 48 minutes, Roger's body is semi-sitting up.
