A noticeable dearth of daemons in this episode of ‘His Dark Materials’ has us genuinely wondering: How much does CGI cost? Probably a lot, right?

HDM 1.5: Where Have All The Daemons Gone?

Spoilers ahead!

The first season of His Dark Materials is more than halfway done and while things are coming together, we still have a lot of questions:

  • What exactly are the Gobblers up to, and why?

  • How are Lyra and Will’s destinies linked?

  • If Will’s mom calls Boreal when he’s back in Lyra’s Oxford, will his cell phone still ring?

  • Does Lyra really have armored bear DNA?

Greta Johnsen, Tricia Bobeda and Peter Sagal are here to discuss the latest episode, which had many more creepy creepers and a little less sauciness from the singing cowboy.
