I’m pretty sure this is just Vin Diesel’s bizarre sci-fi RPG campaign made celluloid flesh.

For the life of me, I could not understand this movie. The world building was incoherent and contradictory. Like, they nercomongers are.....dead? And if you are dead, you are kind of alive and now bad? Or something? But can die again? And they allude to something even worse that they will have to fight? Or something?

good catch on the ring - i wondered what that was about.

that’s all well and good but let’s not have any sex!

I know it does, and that’s kind of the point. There’s easily enough else going on that the demon bear is really quite superfluous.

To be fair, the book this is based on spends a good deal of time explaining how ill prepared the Franklin Expedition was. Especially since aside from Sir Franklin, Crozier, and a few other officers none of the men had any Arctic experience, even fewer knew how to speak Inuit, the guns they had weren’t accurate enough…

We tend to think that nobody said “fucking” before the 1930s, but it had a long and inglorious history. It just wasn’t quoted very often.

Yeah summers in the Arctic are still at most around 50 degrees Fahrenheit and the Franklin Expedition was caught in unseasonably cold weather for three years.

The supernatural is the hook for many, but it definitely doesn’t need it (sort of like a certain smoke monster and glowing cave). Plus it would have avoided any hint of “Magical Native”.

Fitzjames could have been suffering a symptom of severe hypothermia known as paradoxical undressing.

I think the tender moments were harder to take (for me, anyway) than the moments of horror. And there were so many...Crozier with Fitzjames and then Blanky were of course the most heart-wrenching. But no sooner would I dry my eyes than another scene would restart the waterworks...Crozier with Hartnell (“You did good,…

Watching this show is convincing me that the whole business with the supernatural bear is unnecessary. The fate of the expedition is more than terrifying enough. What a horrible way to die, slowly of starvation, scurvy, and cold. They didn’t come close to making it; they were hundreds of miles away from Great Slave…

OMG I know. Goodsir...more like BESTPERSONEVERSIR.

I’m amazed that it takes them all so long to die!

It’s hard (for me, anyway) not to read into Crozier’s anguished ‘Jesus Christ!’ when he sees Blanky’s leg the realisation that if he (Crozier) hadn’t, in a drunken fit of anger, ordered Blanky up on deck to perform a largely useless task (surveying the ice: they’re frozen in, fer Chrissake), Blanky wouldn’t have lost…

This show is really impressive in its pacing, and how it manages to build both the characters and plot. In the beginning it’s so hard to tell everyone apart and determine what’s important and what’s incidental, combined with the thick accents and olde-timey dialog, and the first few hours were pretty easy to get lost…

Since we don’t know what actually happened i d like to think Crozier and Goodsir met up with the Inuit tribe and lived a long happy life in the arctic wilderness.

The supporting actor in a mini series category should be filled with nothing but actors from the show. It’s a shame that more people watch BoringWorld then The Terror.

Blanky was my favorite character, and I’m glad he’s basically the only person in the whole series who gets to go out on his own terms. The last scene between him and Crozier is so good, and perfectly acted.

Incidentally, the Peglar Papers are one of only two firsthand written accounts from the Franklin Expedition following their disappearance that survived to this day. The other being the cairn message at King William Island.
