They can cancel this series, it just drags on and on. Events happen and characters come and go with no apparent reason.

The only reason this series was necessary was that after the movie of the first book in the trilogy (The Golden Compass), the real-life religious "powers that be" completely wigged out and got the remaining two movies cancelled. That said, while the books were incredible, this series is just not. Surprisingly weak casting and a lifeless script have resulted in a product that's D.O.A. My advice to potential viewers: stick to the books, including prequels and sequels...you'll be transported and transfixed.
