Oh I am SO here for this!

Good morning and happy weekend, Womble! I'm currently reading Brandon Sanderson's new short fiction anthology Tailored Realities. It's been a fun look back at his career and way more sci-fi-leaning than I expected.

That said, Season 3 didn't get quite the promotional push/support it should have imo. People who loved the show or books knew about it and watched, but there were a lot of casual fans who didn't even realize S3 came out until way after the fact. So kind of in the upper middle of the pack I guess?

Thanks for reading! I think His Dark Materials definitely counts as another winner of this era because it got to come in, tell its full story, and get out before the inevitable decline. I had honestly given up hope of ever seeing The Subtle Knife or The Amber Spyglass adapted, and it's a gift we did

It's a lot of fun, enjoy! The general word is that it was originally *supposed* to be a miniseries spinoff that dropped before s4 (it was filmed first), but the shoot went sideways badly and was cut short by like 4 months, and it was repurposed into the current special.

Which is its own problem I guess, if you need a special to make the choice make more sense

Have you watched The Rats special yet? I hated that they went after Leo, (and totally agree still, ass-backwards to the tension they had been building all season), but The Rats special made it *a little* better.
