braintransplantthe exponentially declining progression of time between episodes...months between 1 and 2, but a day or so between 2 and 3...well its good
the way the crew treats the body of silna's father is so depressing...but ultimately its sir johns fault also i just realized he too is shoved down the firehole oh my god VINDICATION!!!!!!! [edit: to clarify, sir john orders that silna's father be shoved down the fire hole, unwilling to follow inuit burial/death rites, or even give silna the opportunity to see him. later, tuunbaq comes and shoves sir john down the fire hole. why? deserve.]
arggghhhh this blow-up between crozier and sir john is unbearable. sir john is a bastard and i'll say it again...closing the door to yell..."you've made yourself hard to love" aha....also JFJ overhearing all this i cant [edit: sir john calls crozier 'the worst kind of second (in command).' in the next episode, fitzjames warns francis that he's becoming 'the worst kind of first' due to his alcohol dependancy. its a seriously low blow.]
sir john: you cant send a rescue party out
crozier 5 minutes later: ok so im sending a rescue party out
cornelius hickey is a devious seducer. mr gibson told me everything.
sorry the fact that gibson calls hickey a rat and aptly expands on that metaphor would be such a delight to tl if they knew Do you know what copulates in the ship? rats. resting in our rubbish. swimming in our filth. devouring each other just to make more rats. well, i am not a rat. im a man.
HE SEES SOMETHING IN ME. COULD LEAD ANYWHERE. / CORNELIUS. / ANYWHERE. / CORNELIUS, YOU––THE CAPTAIN DOESN'T SEE YOU AT ALL. this exchange + hickey essentially being like ok if you dont wanna be my boat wife im gonna fuck crozier. and gibson being like you are absolutely not going to fuck crozier.
the way not being able to see his surroundings for a minute under the blanket to take the photo went over my head the first time i watched this i was like why tf is goodir having a conniption
the telescope rim freezing to crozier's eyelid is such a wonderful detail TO ME
the weird little music box soundtrack for sir johns death well i think its delightful
goodsir seriously deliberating on where to put the leg in the coffin is so funny actually
JFJ reaction to sir johns death makes so much more sense in the context of his confession re: parentage, he probably thought of sir john as a kind of father [edit: We Have Lost Sir John.]
im endlessly fascinated by the changing of the Speech from jonah and the whale (which arguably makes more thematic sense) to jacob's ladder but idk shit about the bible
