The Cave

Will and Lyra decide to travel to Will's Oxford, to seek out his lawyer and to find a scholar to help Lyra about the Dust. Soon she fins that the Jordan College does not exist in this world, but the alethiometer tells her to go to St. Peter. Will schedules with Lyra to meet each other at the Botanic Gardens at 5 PM. At the Magisterium, Dr Lanselius is sentenced to prison, and Ms. Coulter convinces MacPhail to authorize the bombing of the witches. Will meets his lawyer and she tells him that she cannot give the money from his fund to him. She suggests he visits his grandparents and asks them. Meanwhile, Lyra meets the physicist Mary Malone that shows her experiments with the Dust.

"The Cave" is a good episode of "His Dark Materials", with Will and Lyra in his city trying to resolve their issues. Will wants to know how his mother is and where is his father. Lyra decides to learn about the Dust in another world. Ms. Coulter, as usual, is a Machiavellian and manipulative villain. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "The Cave"

This show is so highly underrated that it makes me sick.

The tension and the excitement of this beautifully-constructed multiverse was clearly present in the entirety of this episode. From the scenes containing the Magesterium to the scenes with Will and Lyra, this was all so good. Due credit has to be given to cinematography and the music teams, which did an amazing work on making this episode so brilliant. Season 2 has only had 2 episodes yet, but i love it too much already.

Belongs on CBBC rather than prime-time on BBC 1.

It's certainly not deserving of the hype.

It was a standard episode, not so much going on except for some key events that I really appreciated. I have to say that I found really interesting how they managed to add new information to the lore, especially to the witches traditions and other elements I don't want to spoil. It is an episode that prepares the ground for future developments, but still very enjoyable and never boring.

P.s: I found a little strange how the ending of the first episode connects to this new episode. I felt like I missed a scene. I am sure that other users experienced this. Maybe it was a relevant thing to the plot anyways, who knows!
