Tuesday, 7 July 2020 16:39 The Terrors are aboard sir...love that for them
JFJ in episode 1: i hate crozier he sucks
JFJ in episode 5: why doesnt crozier wanna hang out with me :(
goodsir and silna friendship of the world
fitzjames being a stickler about uniforms and appearances...i love you you phony bitch [edit: knowing what i know about fitzjames being born out of an affair / not fully english + his confession about most of his Courageous Feats being done in pursuit of vanity and attention, this is mars rover level sniping.]
drunk crozier crazy ass. me during finals week
this episode is making me think of that meta post so much GODDDDD....the Moment When They See Each Other re: does that really work with anyone, mr hickey? goodsir finds hickey completely transparent in his ulterior motives, but hickey is fascinated by goodsir. how did it go...in goodsir, hickey sees the purity of man and he wants to know how far it can go, how real it is, how long it can last. they're each other's antithesis and its epic. [edit: wow this one is total word salad...what i mean is that goodsir is lawful good while hickey is chaotic evil. complete opposites in every position of that alignment chart. goodsir is capable of seeing hickey for who he really is, seeing right through the jovial, friendly facade he puts up. hickey is incapable of understanding someone like goodsir, and expects that underneath, goodsir is more like him than not, but he keeps being proven wrong. its more obvious in the later episodes, but over time, hickey specifically pushes goodsir's kindness/humanity as far as he can, hoping to eventually break him. its a relationship dynamic i didnt notice until the final two episodes my first watch, but now im catching it here when hickey tries to endear goodsir to him, and goosir says: does that really work with anyone, mr. hickey? the tension of the scene juts gets cut through. i love it!!!!]
the ice ridges pushing the boat up unevenly resulting in a constant dutch angle is such a fabulous directing choice. like seriously.
i wish you'd call me harry. / well, i might call you doctor. you're sounding very like one to me just now. OK HEART DISEASE?
hickey and gibson evil gay rat marriage
tozer cutting heather's nails and talking to him :(
i love the translation theatrics...also i read somewhere nive nielsen at least is pronouncing tuunbaq in the greenland dialect which is why everyone is saying it like 4 different ways lol
THIS SCENE IS PSYCHOTIC. silna asking why do you want to die to crozier, blanky refusing to follow crozier's orders, JFJ walking in, calling crozier by his first name, crozier saying dont ever call me francis again. i love when they are back to hating each other. and the call back to the worst kind of 2nd. [edit: okay this is also word salad. this scene is psychotic because you have several relationship dynamics interacting at once here; crozier/blanky lifelong friendship, goodsir/silna confidants, silna/crozier in opposition, goodsir/crozier mostly neutral, crozier/fitzjames at this point opposed though rank means fitzjames must take crozier's orders. crozier tells goodsir to translate for him, and he cant. he tries to get silna to help them, but she wont. crozier tries to get fitzjames to get off of terror, but he stays. he tells fitzjames not to call him francis, but he does. he tells blanky to send silna back out onto the ice, but he refuses to follow orders. basically crozier gets denied at every instance, so its the perfect explosion to precede his realization that his drinking problem is making him lose his grip on the mission and the men.]
almost losing his best friend spurring crozier into sobriety well its good. nothing like a little amputation to wake you up am i right.
im afraid i need to ask the 4 of you for a favor that will likely be a great imposition. there couldnt be worse timing, i understand. there also couldnt be a greater need. im going to be unwell. quite unwell, i expect. i dont know for how long. a week? no. perhaps...perhaps more. not only must you draw the tightest possible curtain around what is happening but you must also care for me as well, as i will not be able to care for myself. [edit: interesting how crozier is fully capable of The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known here, and knowing what i know about fitzjames, its also interesting the way he reacts to hearing this. JFJ wants to Be Known so bad lmaooo. anyway i love this monologue. jared harris delivers it so perfectly. plus its a pretty apt man vs self conflict (a la knowing you are swimming in a dark pit, aware that you have yet to go down and touch the bottom of it, but you must) as a reflection of the man vs nature conflict hanging over the whole show (knowing that things are already terrible, but the worst of the arctic has yet to come).]
jopson's you needn't worry for a thing sir. SONBOY
francis. / no. im sorry. we musn't stop until it is finished. i musn't stop, and you musn't let me. [edit: kills me that fitzjames is still calling crozier Francis when crozier literally yelled at him to stop calling him that like an hour ago]
also crozier giving little his gun went over my head the first time. i...uh. ok.
experiment on a monkey because what else is there to do in the arctic
