braintransplant / terror rewatch episode 1: go for broke (Reply)

now that i Know Everything i have to rewatch this show to appreciate how much the writers of this show reaped what they sowed.....the seeding of it all.....and also because i like it

jopson basically being francis crozier's steward + dressing him for the ice report is so (emotion that doesn't exist)...the vague foreshadowing to jopson being the one who takes care of crozier when he has to go sober/through withdrawals. also i just like jopson. most adoptable son in the arctic circle.
THE STORY FITZJAMES TELLS AT THE ICE REPORT MEETING IS ABOUT HOW HE GOT SHOT WITH A MUSKET BALL THROUGH THE ARM AND INTO THE SIDE OF HIS CHEST, WHICH IS THE WOUND THAT LATER REOPENS AND MAKES HIM REALIZE HE HAS SCURVY....AHA....
"tell us about bird-shit island why don't you, james? thats a capital story." the amount that crozier and fitzjames hate e/o in the first episode is so magical considering, well, the last episode. tobias menzies is so good as james fitzjames, formerly known as Mr. Mortifying Ordeal Of Being Unknown
i'll be honest sometimes idk what the hell english people are saying
fitzjames playing chess against himself at a separate table while sir john + crozier are 6 feet away from him seriously the most dramatic gay shit ever
god they really lay on the mutual haterism so thick here..."there's nothing worse than a man who's lost his joy" + calling him a lush i caannntttt
jfj: "one glance from him (crozier), i have to remind myself i'm not a fraud" you are a fraud and thats okay just be who you are. i cant believe they planted the seed of the Are We Brother Francis speech this early and i never noticed....
you can describe the 3 leaders of this expedition by the mcdonalds alignment triangle
sir john franklin: we have food at home
james fitzjames: mcdonalds! mcdonalds! mcdonalds!
francis crozier: pulling into the drive through and ordering one black coffee
jfj saying sir john loves his men more than god loves them....oh honey you've got a big storm coming
the way this show takes exactly 15 minutes to kill the first character
james ross making crozier stand so he can be applauded too....heart been broke so many times
oh dr goodsir....you also have a big storm coming...btw paul ready sells his character introduction in this scene so hard
not david young's ring....not that cursed fuxxking ring...
crozier and blanky hanging out in the lookout....(jenna marbles voice) i wanna be tall. their friendship is so great i was crying like a bebby when blanky goes off with the forks in ep10
i love the way the true narrative of this show is that indigenous people told them to go away but they didnt listen and consequently they all died. its what the english deserve
the underwater sequence intercut with the autopsy well just give them the best editing oscar or whatever the fuck
jfj: is there anything else to report? / guy who just saw a corpse underwater: .....no
"that is an interesting....speculation" famous last words
the first cornelius hickey evil little rat man moment except they trick you into thinking its a cornelius hickey nice little rat man moment....STOP GRAVEROBBING PEOPLE. SEEK HELP
goodsir's genuine anguish at forgetting to take david young's ring so it can be sent back to his family....as always heart been broke so many times even though it manages to end up with crozier after all 10 episodes
the little bead of metal sir john picks out from his food....lead poisoning impending
sir john getting stuck in the pack ice after saying they wouldn't get stuck in the pack ice: i never said that
