I think this whole thing put a light on how so many men-no matter how hard they want to- just do not understand how things like this affect women on such a deep level, and starting from as young as we can remember. There truly needs to be more education. When I was in college, there was a big story on the news about a…

Donald Sutherland is the Canadian Morgan Freeman.

I could have happy watched Road to Avonlea had they decided to follow Gus and Felicity and Felix and Izzy into marriage and raising children and watching Canada move from the Edwardian period into WWI and the Roaring 20s.

The Terror

Ok but hear me out, what if instead of blowing up Bond into the ocean, he gets knocked into a high waterfall in Switzerland? Otherwise, spot on.

The Mr. Rogers movie cannot come out soon enough. That man is an American hero and an absolute treasure. Truly one of the greatest of us.

Jared Harris did a fair bit of tweeting about the finale. He said that his understanding was that kids in Inuit communities were raised communally in some ways so it’s not his kid, but he’s helping to take care of him so he does have a sort of family now.

I didn’t really understand the motivation for kidnapping Crozier either, besides humiliating him. But my friend suggested that since the Tuunbaq is intelligent enough to lay traps and target specific people, maybe Hickey thought he’d have a better chance of drawing it to him to perform the shaman ritual by using the…

At first I thought Hickey took Crozier for a measure of revenge. But after Hickey confided he viewed Crozier as his only equal among either crew, I figured it was for the company.

I found Crozier’s arc the highlight of the series. In the first few episodes I was sure he would become the downfall of the expedition, with his alcoholism, his bitterness over Sir John’s niece and dour personality. Even Fitzjames warned Sir John that Crozier’s gloomy spirit could ruin everything. Amazing then to see…

The whole episode felt like nonstop gutpunches, but, yeah, especially for poor Jopson and the look on Silence’s face when she saw Goodsir. Even at a distance she conveyed her grief and horror so well.

Thanks for mentioning this! I read just yesterday about the “Le Vesconte” remains in the book “Finding Franklin”, and found the possibility that it might actually be Goodsir comforting. It’s funny, we’ll probably never know what kind of person the real Goodsir was, but my image of him will now always be tied to Paul…

I spent a lot of time wondering what Hickey’s plan was, but I think ultimately he didn’t have one once his dreams of getting to Oahu were dashed. I think Hickey’s reason for kidnapping Crozier was simply to take revenge for leading them into this mess, plus whatever rush he could get off dehumanizing him and showing…

This unsettled me more than the slaughter of Hickey’s people, which was just, uh “regular” horrible. There’s something to be said about horror that’s never adequately explained, and that bit absolutely nailed it.

Ah yes, the ‘long-forgotten, lonely cairn of stones’. And the note that...escalates quickly.

It was.

The word ‘Close’ whispered by Little to Crozier, mirrors the same word said by Jopson to Crozier in the very first episode. This show will reward a thorough rewatch and I can’t really wait. Fantastic and beautiful.

That was one of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen. We can, and do, watch zombies eating brains and dragons burning people alive and people visiting unspeakable violence on other people in all manner of movies, television shows, and videos. But that—that felt like true brutality.

I need to rewatch this show on a binge with no commercials. I just felt so many times that just when an emotional crescendo happened, fuckin boom buy insurance.

For some reason, when I watched this episode, I didn’t get that Silna’s wandering necessarily meant death, but I suppose you must be right.
