The more you learn about the guy the more awesome he becomes. At the time, he was the second most experienced arctic explorer and had been as close to both poles as was physically possible at the time.

I despise Hickey so much that it is the hardest thing about watching the show. His smirk is worse to me than any murderous spirit bear. It’s an imperfect analogy, but he reminds me of Heath Ledger’s Joker at times. I don’t think he has a good-faith effort to survive in mind. He’s an agent of chaos. He’s just having a…

Fun fact about Dickens’ involvement in the search for the Franklin Expedition. When John Rae’s report that some of the men resorted to cannibalism, Dickens not only disbelieved it, but he wrote an entire play claiming the Inuit killed them all.

Yeah, I was surprised Crozier didn’t cut him off after he started going into his “the Captain is a lying liar who lies” rant. There might have been some grumbling about “unfairness” by the men if he didn’t let Hickey have last words, but I think the situation was way too precarious to actually let him get an entire…

And Erebus is even more forbidding.

Handmaids are assigned to high powered people, so all the commanders etc. They are fertile but they also have to have committed some kind of transgression in the eye of Gilead. In June’s case she’s an adulteress.

I think they just agreed, for the sake of being able to see the actors, to be inaccurate about dress in that climate. They would have to be bundled from head to toe at all times.

I think his motivations are simply 1) He wants to be in charge. The dude next to him after they discovered the natives was like “The Captain was right”. If the rest of the crew find out that the Captain was right in going in that direction to find food then the Captain becomes more in a position of security and power.…

My take on his motivation was that if its discovered that Crozier was right, and these friendly natives will save them, then his mutiny is off, and so is the promotion to lieutenant he’s finagling for himself afterward. He definitely looked off his gourd when he was killing them, but I guess he took his clothes off so…

He ate the dog — they went out of their way to mention that the lead builds up in the system over years, so he got a concentrated amount of it with his canine meal. It will get worse once they start eating each other.

“How he doesn’t immediately freeze to death is beyond me. “

Agreed about the cold. I keep waiting for someone to get frostbite all over their face. But I think it’s one of the concessions you have to make for television. I know I have a hard enough time telling characters apart as is. If they were all more covered up, there’d be no way I’d know who was who.

I’ve read somewhere that the later episodes were filmed in warmer climates, which kinda makes sense.

Yes, try with subtitles. I don’t think I can watch TV anymore without subtitles, when it comes to ‘The Wire’ and Southern accents and British accents.

Eugene has betrayed them all season. Don’t you remember he is responsible for the Saviors escaping from the Sanctuary? If it wasn’t for him a lot of deaths would have been prevented.

He was planning the sabotage for awhile. Gabriel’s bullets just improved his plans. His original plan was “phooey”, but Gabriel’s purposeful incompetence turned it into “Kablooey” (his brief comment to Rosita before she decks him).

I guess you could say it was because of Carl but Carl’s wishes were known to him back when he was killing them all so why now has he suddenly found “mercy”?

Fear has actually turned into a better show that TWD. I know all the jokes about it are the “in” thing to do these days, but for those that gave it the benefit of the doubt have been treated to a well built show.

I’ve been tough on The Walking Dead for years now. I see a show with potential and the ingredients for something special. Occasionally, the show has delivered that and that may be what has kept me on.

Yeah, I didn’t buy Rick’s turn in that fight either. It makes it REALLY hard for me to believe that Daryl, Jesus and Maggie are the villains in the Walking Dead Civil War. Rick and Michonne make much more sense based on everything before the end of the Rick./Negan fight.
