If you live outside the UK and are watching on the 23rd November (or slightly later), you may be looking for our discussion of the second episode.

Welcome to the episode discussion for the 2nd episode of series 2: Theft, airing tonight (22nd November) on BBC One at 8:10pm GMT and next week (30th November) on HBO at 9pm ET.

This is a place to discuss the show either beforehand (for theories and general excitement), during and after. As there will be many people who have not read the books, spoilers will NOT be allowed for anything other than what happens in this episode and all episodes prior.

An ominous tower, a mobile phone-esque alethiometer, Lin Manuel-Miranda, and Ruth Wilson - what could possibly go wrong?

I was a tiny bit disappointed by the TV series, and I loved the books!

I'm new here! It would be a pleasure if someone would acquaint me with the guidelines! Thanks!

It was too formal wasn't it? 

Anyway, my favorite character is Lee Scorseby!

Also, I haven't watched the show yet, but I think I will soon. (Never even thought of watching the movie though... I guess the movie is like the pjo ones right?)
