Because they all die brutally
the terror is trash
the north water is ten times better. quality over quantity. and no shitty cgi monster bullshit.
Yeah I didn’t care for the monster either, it was dumb.
North Water was good up until the protagonist was dug out from polar bear and went back to england. Talk about a let down of a final episode
>ruins the series
the real story is terrifying enough without this made up CGI bullshit
I understand what they were aiming for with the monster. A feral horror with human intelligence. That's what it ends up being, a creature that is more intelligent than the entire expedition.
But the real heart of the series is the crew and for this reason the monster is little more than a footnote reference.
>and then when everything had a semblance of order the monster came and killed half the crew :O
Is it literally a polar bear with a birth defect? Looks like it has Down syndrome.
Is pic related the most accurate portrayal of a homosexual ever in film or television?
it's some sort of eskimo god monster.
Yeah it’s definitely up there
this. show could have been a 11/10 if it was just a psychological horror about surviving the cold and hunger in the middle of nowhere
polar humabear a cute!
I really dont get all the complaints about it, the series was kino and the monster was fine.
I can totally understand why people wouldn't want it. Have the realistic, slow, miserable death by attrition without a bear fricking things up. It'd be kino as hell.
However, put the emphasis on slow. People slowly getting frozen, losing digits. Slowly getting ill and dying from TB, pneumonia, so forth. Slowly getting ill from lead. Slowly losing their minds from the above and tedious monotony aboard a cramped ship. Eventually scurvy and starvation laying waste to the battered remains of the crew. If everything played out relatively the same, barring the manbearpig, the height of excitement would Carnivale and the mutiny.
But then again, modern shit has turned so many into attention deficits who need quips and explosions every 30 seconds or they lose interest. Make of this what you will.
Nah, frick that. Everything else was heightened by the tuunbaaq being ever present as a force. Fear of the unknown is a very important story element. If it was just cold and starvation as the main enemy, the show would have lost a huge part of the magic.
For example, I would not have read the book if the monster wasn't in there. The monster is the hook, it's the backdrop to the entire story.
I'm not saying it wouldn't have been good without it, but to say it didn't bring the story to new heights is just flatout wrong.
Personally I think the tuunbaq added a welcome change of pace.
The Tuunbaq creates tension and is an inherent part of the story that the characters operate around. The way it was done in the show wasnt particularly scary aside from when its not present but has left evidence, or its attempt to kill mr blanky on the boat, as it seems like the characters just stop giving a shit about it and have bigger problems, it also looks pretty creepy but not quite book level. They could've done more with the tuunbaq to make it actually appear scary and a large motivating factor haunting the crew, rather than the occasional violent scene interrupting the more interesting personal drama. Especially that scene in the masquerade like
mentions.
Shame they couldn't have played up the supernatural demon bear aspect instead of just having a smart dire maanbearpig. I understand having the show a bit more grounded because bagpipe ladies and a crazy psychic Irish family does sound a bit silly out of context.
The story still works perfectly if you take Tuunbaq as a regular polar bear (or multiple ones) stalking the crew for food, and the more supernatural aspects of it is just the series going "unreliable narrator" and showing you weird shit as if it was real due to every character going through starvation, lead poisoning, and sheer fricking terror and superstition making them see things that aren't there.
He's like barely in it
I muted it and looked away during all scenes with that fricking goofy moronic bear
because they made it woker than the book it's based on
is it available to torrent in x265 at 1080p anywhere?

>No diversity
You're joking right? One of the main characters is a gay, another is an eskimo. That was enough diversity for them.
Oh I forgot, TWO other main characters we gays as well.
I loved the show, but lets not pretend it didn't hit enough diversity bells to pass by the censors.
>TWO other main characters we gays as well.
I don't think you know what "main character" means
>he doesn't know what an ensemble cast is
lol
Stop replying to falseflagging homosexuals
It caused a lot of rage, particularly the fact that the homosexual was one of the most accurate portrayals of a homosexual in the history of televidion. The lack of shitskins made George “pedophilia is fine” Takei shit and piss himself until they agreed to his idea of making a second series set in a prison for nip invaders.
And nearly everybody goes out of their way to completely ignore season 2.
Irrelevant. The claim was this show was diverse. It was not, which is why it was kino.
>Oh I forgot, TWO other main characters we gays as well.
But the characters had a meaning. One homosexual character, Hickey, represents predatory sexual appetites, like a coyote eating a rabbit, and this behavior permeated his whole identity beyond his impulses for sexual gratification, while the homosexual couple was basically a relationship of fraternity, protection and mentoring.
While Hickey is shown emerging from the darkness fixing his pants, the other two characters never touch each other.
>having sex means you're evil
It's a very clever way to make the contrast.
No one claimed that. Two men can’t have sex moron, they have sodomy. AIDS is rotting your brain.
You mean the two homosexuals who were also the villains? Pretty based.
The Eskimo girl was cute, I didn’t mind also her role in the story. Still better than your forced nig quotas.
Peglar and Bridgens were gays too, moron, and they were portrayed as the good guys.
Hollywood has not shied away from portraying gays as villains. Just as long as it hits their quotas.
>Peglar and Bridgens were gays too
I didn’t notice this. Are you fricking with me or am I moronic?
It's less overt in the show (they could simply be very close friends or have a mentor/student relationship) but in the book the older guy is a known sodomite and Crozier grumbles about it but admits in his internal monologue that he's so well liked and useful he won't do anything about it.
it was extremely subtle and mostly just some covert handholding, if in the book it wasn't spelled out outright that Peglar wanted that old man's dick I also wouldn't have noticed
>t. tumblr tier women
>t. has read the source material
You read the script?
Nope
Somebody lends someone else a book so they are clearly arse bandits
>inb4 muh book
Don’t care, we’re discussing the tv series.
There was a lewd hand caress as they passed the book. Asides from that, I thought they were just oddly close friends.
Kino
yeah because the show that prides itself on being woker than a book would remove positive gay representation
moron
>muh headcannon
Stay mad.
bait
Yeah claiming the show is woke is definitely bait
>Guy runs off with his dead friend's journal and shoves it down his pants as he runs off to die.
Perfectly normal reaction, but hey, this is Cinemaphile so maybe it is.
You're fricking moronic or autistic. Or both.
The show makes it clear they're gay, as they were in the book. Unless you think touching like they did and making eye contact like they did is something straight men do? Fricking gay.
There's a cute Eskimo girl?
Bros give me a stream link, it's not on my usuals.
She's more a woman than a girl, but yea, she is pretty. Shame about the sideways pussy though.
>muh diversity
Is it really a fricking problem considering it takes place in the Inuit homeland
You people would seethe about africans being in a movie set in Africa
No it's not a problem to me, it made perfect sense. My point is these morons saying "MUH STRAIGHT WHITE MALE SUPREMACIST TV SHOW HOW DID THIS EVER GET MADE!" is bullshit. The show ticks off all the required diversity. 4 gays, a main character is a female eskimo, a subplot about eskimos getting slaughtered by whitey. It's all there.
>leave out 'forced'
Very dishonest, anon
is that mance from got
I've been trying to find a show like this since watching it. Watched North Water recently which checks some of the boxes and Colin Ferrell was solid but it wasn't even half as kino as season 1 terror.
It was better because it didn't have a CGI polar monster.
>Only two irish in the show are a notorious drunk, and a conniving murderous gay manlet
and this is 21st century anglo thinking of irish. Cant imagine how it was in the past.
the real historical Hickey was Irish but the character was not, in the book he was a scouse and in the show some ambiguous mystery anglo
die you not watch the show?
he had a “bonding” moment with Francis about both being irish. he called himself a mick even.
>book
lmao read some real literature with no tv show/movie stills as the cover
>he doesn't know who Dan Simmons is
sadly i do, little fat sci fi nerd.
I read the classic “Hyperion” though over your space flight fantasy shit
The majority of your posts are nothing but nonsensical insults.
>he had a “bonding” moment with Francis about both being irish. he called himself a mick even.
Black person, did you miss the part were Crozier was surprised by being called a mick by a "fellow" irishman? That's because it is a derogatory term towards the irish and Hickey accidentally slipped.
I call myself a Black person all the time and I'm not even black
more because he didn't believe that Hickey deserved the m-word pass, because he didn't have Irish accent and hadn't lived in Ireland
imagine a white looking guy who had one half-black grandmother going up to the blackest basketball-american saying "wazzup my fellow homie", that's the same situation
Hickey was heavily implied to be an impostor on the show. That’s why he backtracks when questioned about his lack of accent. He had probably stolen the real Hickey’s paperwork.
> Hickey was heavily implied to be an impostor on the show.
it was not implied it was plainly portrayed and he states it himself in the last scene fighting tunbaaq.
I feel like im eavesdropping in on a discussion of purposeful morons.
"Hickey" in the show was a bongoloid impostor who killed the real Irish Hickey and it was stated openly and not "implied", how fricking moronic you both are
HE KILLED THE MAN
The only Irishman was Francis you tard. Hickey was a murderous impostor anglo who took the papers from the real Hickey
When will they adapt Hyperion?
explain? I didn’t watch the show or cared when it was coming out and in relevant discussion
>People enjoying something while others are buttmad for whatever reason.
Other than that, why ask for an explanation for something you never watched/read and have no interest in?
i said when it was coming out which means when these threads had actual interest.
I only watched it recently
Have a leg as recompense for my misunderstanding.
but actually, what did those chains on his cheeks mean? was it punishment?
He had a conversation with Crozier on how the men all deserved gold medals
I pointed this out in the heyday of /terror/ posting and you fricking nitwits had the nerve to demand another explanation. Frick you.
As I understand it, that scene was depicted because in real life the body of a member of a failed expedition was found in that same way. If this is real, people are asking for the reason for a mystery as real as it is old and unresolvable.
>It's a Lady Silence scene
This show has been getting spammed lately but I don't care
I watched this show before I turned my life around, back when I was a depressed suicidal NEET
I still wish I could go back then for a day and have that experience again
This show made me forget I was depressed it's that good
The John Adams series I watched after some people recommended me it here was shit by comparison
Checked.
Yeah these threads have been spammed ad nauseam lately. They're better off done sparingly so they contain actual discussion as opposed to the same half-assed arguments and regurgitated memes.

Why did Mr Hickey have to kill some random cuck to get into the boat? Was dying in the Arctic really so prestigious that you couldn't get a berth otherwise?
>you could have just signed up!
he was a wanted criminal already before he killed the real Hickey, that's why he wanted to escape England, and that expedition promised going to Hawaii within a year
this shit is fricking obvious if you turn on your brain for a minute
The idea was to ditch the crew at hawaii and make a new life there
the british government would come searching for him, more specifically they'd come searching for Cornelius Hickey. Our "Hickey" is not cornelius hickey, so he'd be fine
>a puffed up christcuck, an alcoholic simp and a mystery meat brownnoser, none of whom were anyone's first choice for anything, lead a squad of raging homosexuals into a frozen shithole, where they reside alone for years, consuming prepackaged goyslop that slowly poisons them and drives them mad
>the only woman they meet is immediately ostracized, accused of every misfortune that befell them and sent away to deal with polar bears on her own
It's basically a show about Cinemaphile, but with less funny pictures.

please tell me the actors' hair were real and not wigs like in LOTR and such.
genuinely great head and facial hair in this show by a lot of characters.
Anyone who can't ignore the cgi monster is a pedantic moron. There is way more going on with the story than there being a bear.
It's amazing how pissed (read: filtered) people get over a bear that's hardly on screen.
>when I start mixing my Latin and my green, it’s time to go to bed.
Most outrageous pretentious humble brag ever televised
there clearly were not enough pre stuck in ice naval scenes
i want to fug hickey
Why did Francis Crozier not go back to England?
Why stick around with the inuits even when the brits showed up with them?
What for? To be mocked as a failure?
moron
It's true, dumbass. Why would he go back? Sole survivor is the second in command and lost the entire crew, the ships, etc. Assuming he survived the inquiries and court marshals, he'd be a pariah at best and he's Irish so they'd hate him all the more.
>he survived the inquiries and court marshals
you live in a fantasy world stolen from idk what cringe movie.
Yes, ad hominems explain everything
He's shown being rejected by the woman he wants, and he really wants to be a captain. Neither thing is going to happen on his return to England. He will likely be a pariah and regarded as a giant failure.
so yeah, I guess you jsut spend the rest of your life living on fricking ice in an ice desert with brandead freak people who speak 5 words a year.
Simply adapt to this great environment and not, idk, do anything other than that, right?
you people are moronic.
And yet it was still better than going back to miserable shithole England.
he undertook the expedition to make sure franklin didn't die
Franklin's niece tells him:
>you can sniff my pusy if my uncle doesn't die to a polare bear
and then franklin IMMEDIATELY dies in a ridiculous way leaving nought but a stockinged foot
Crozier goes wild with the booze after that, but when he's forced to quit drinking he takes responsibility for the expedition.
By the end of the series he's seen too much and the final shot captures it pretty well; he remains at his post to deal with whatever emerges from the ice next, and as penance for the lives lost under his command.
His existence as Aglooka is far less complicated than his life as Francis Crozier
>By the end of the series he's seen too much and the final shot captures it pretty well; he remains at his post to deal with whatever emerges from the ice next, and as penance for the lives lost under his command.
cool fan fiction you got there
It's a better interpretation than you're capable of articulating.
my fanfic is that if he doesnt go back to England to do frick all, he would at least go some place other that is warmer and more hospitable and has people more like him.
Just go south into Canada or America and restart your life, while repenting, there instead of freezing with inuits and ice hole fishing.
I could settle with that.
>Goes to the fort on his own after recovering and grieving for his lost crew
>Becomes a trapper or frontiersman
>Explorers come by
>"Hey aren't you that captain?"
>"Nope, no clue what you're talking about"
>End
That is almost certainly what Crozier and one of the ship's doctors attempted IRL. In fact it's very likely they came within spitting distance (in relative terms) of civilization, there was evidence of them making it as far as 500 miles inland.
Not to mention Crozier wasn't religious nor into politics like the Franklins or Cracroft would've liked.
>Not to mention Crozier wasn't religious
He just wasn't Anglican, probably felt out of place discussing religion in a place where 99% of people would ridicule him for that
yeah, what was that whole
>"cannibal satanist catholic eucharist"
speech about anyways?
It was not convincing to eat the meat, so what was its actual point?
Hodgson was in full copium mode for cannibalism by comparing it to his trip to a papist church and the eucharist, body of Christ, etc etc.. He was probably expecting human sacrifice and pedoshit since Anglicans wren't too fond of Catholicism at the time but he found it peaceful and enlightening instead.
His rambling about being too cowardly to kill Hickey probably gave Goodsir the idea to poison himself to potentially take out everyone else.
it was just madness, thats what I got out of it
a fairly rational man of high rank is comparing resulting to cannibalism to some sort of spiritual enlightenment, its just to remind you everything is completely fricked
Dan Simmons must have been obsessed with sergeants when he wrote the novel, first he consistently misspels the name of Robert Orme Sargent, and then for one chapter he forgot the rank of Private Heather

>Chernobyl
too normie
> North Water
what?
I didn't like the north water so I won't comment on it, but for chernobyl there's just half as much of it to talk about
Chernobyl threads now usually turn to political talk not really about the show, The North Water doesn't have much to discuss other than who raped the cabin boy and the question has been answered already; while The Terror has a lot going on in it that is a bit underexplained and has people asking questions
Who did rape the cabin boy?
Drax and Cavendish both
Cavendish did not rape the cabin boy you filthy israelite
he didn't in the book but in the show he did
North Water had a thread the other day, wasn't as popular as the Terror threads though.
It's either one determined autist posting new Terror threads every day, or all the Terror threads are leading new people to watch the show and then make their own threads.
Chernobyl had most of the same audience as Terror.
They just kind of consolidated into one thread.
Turd nudgers tend to be obsessives and find it easier to self-insert with the terror.

What did they mean by this, anyway? At least they got to Hawaii in the end.

>such shit bait it didn’t get a single (you)
Is there a single boatkino film/series that isn't gay? I thought the point of the Navy was that they were all homosexuals trapped in a floating prison. Why are anons surprised that there are always gay subplots?
Was Master and Commander gay? There's always Aubrey and Maturin but it's nothing overt unless one goes full fujoshit on it.
There was some gay stuff in the books, but not really in the film.
really anon? Damn, did not suspect that
Well it's mostly just the Aubrey Maturin stuff from the film kicked up a few notches. There's passing mention of gay things happening on the ship, but Aubrey's approach is basically "well as long as they're not fricking me or the animals, I don't care." I know one of the antagonists in the later books is gay too, but I haven't gotten that far yet.
I recommend the books to anyone who enjoyed the Terror for the boat setting. It's very comfy.
Yea im trying to find them, but they are long out of print in my country.
You tried eBay, or Amazon pre-used?
Yeah, the vast majority of them. Gay fantasies are not reality. On most ships they often had prossies hidden aboard below decks.

Is this the platypus incident I keep hearing about?
The very same
what the show really got wrong was the lighting. it's just a few points above pitch black during that sequence. imagine if the doctor's self immolation was the only thing lighting that scene.
This one has a sort of complicated answer; in the book it is Crozier who relates the experience of attending mass with his catholic aunts and has en epiphany on the beauty of religious ceremony, and it's part of the foreshadowing of the great dripping priest crozier dreams about ultimately being the tuunbaaq selecting him as one of its shamans, because Crozier has psychic powers in the book.
In the show I think it is pretty bold-faced meant to be about how tasty hodgkins thinks human flesh is because he's starving.
I didn't forget I just ran out of room! Yeah the grand carnivale goes sideways specifically because Hickey and Manson make a life-size tuunbaaq puppet costume and this tricks all of the sailors into thinking the actual tuunbaaq isn't prowling around the dark rooms waiting to strike.
the tuunbaaq in general is just a much more interesting beastie in the book. that scene where it plays silence is extremely chilling because the guy who witnessed it knows he can't tell anyone
a later scene where the tuunbaaq just goes 'frick this' and boards erebus and starts slaughtering fitzjames crew is the most grisly of all. it goes out of its way to mutilate and kill in the most horrid ways
Also special mention for the rat man, a real life detail that the inuit who investigated the wreck before it sank swear by. In the book crozier himself revisits Terror, which managed to make some progress thanks to a skeleton crew sailing it through a thaw. they have sealed a mummified creature in crozier's quarters and when he exits the room he can hear the thing stirring in his bed. Crozier naturally blows up the terror with gunpowder.
explain the face chains, bookfren
They went crazy, anon. They were fricking eating each others asses. Is a bit of face piercing that odd in comparison?vv28j
stupid ass captcha bullshit
I've explained those fricking face chains so many times in the last 4 years I think I deserve some god damn gold chains for my face
IRL one of the dead sailors had chains attached to his face. Crozier has much the same interaction with him in the book, you can deduce the guy was probably not right in the head having starved/eaten his friends/starved/scurvied/lead poisoned his way through the arctic for 3+ years. Personally I think he just wanted to be special and put some gold shit on his face.
In the show there's a scene where Crozier has a one-off line stating 'After all this the men deserve gold medals' or something along those lines. I believe he says this to the same officer who later has the gold chains on his face.
Having stated this point at least a dozen times I think it's kind of flimsy but it is the closest thing to a tangible explanation offered.
Here you go, chain anon.
I mean it's not necessary that he went crazy. This was the same officer that was loyal to Crozier amidst a group of mutineers from what I remember. Maybe they had enough of him and simply decided to punish him like that? Or the chains were a tool used to "keep awake" (i read that somewhere). Whatever it is, it has no answer since the real life situation was simply that - a guy was found by the inuits with chains on his face.
I most like the interpretation that he did it because of the sailor custom to have israeliteellery on you to pay for your funeral
Build a time machine just to go back and ask the guy why he stuck chains on his face.
He'll think angels are coming to save him but nope, just dumbfricks with inquiring minds.
>because Crozier has psychic powers in the book.
do you think Hickey was also kind of special? Some of the men (admittedly very superstitious, but also despite having seen an actual supernatural monster) believed he was a devil; and he was the only one who got an insight into the nature of the Tuunbaq when it killed him
I'm also 99% certain he was supposed to be kind of based on Judge Holden, being weird, pale, violent, dancing, widely infamous, pedo and moronfricker
That's the implication of Hickey's final scene in the book; he's just such a completely rotten human being that even the Tuunbaaq doesn't want to eat him, or consume his soul. Hickey's final moments are freezing to death in a pinnace boat with magnus huddled at the other end, frozen to death and having built a small fort of bibles between himself and hickey.
Hickey's also not an impostor in the book; he's a known lickspittle and shithead whom Crozier and most of the officers dislike, but he has friends amongst regular sailors whom he serves to ensure he's protected. He's described as being almost ridiculously small in stature.
I know how he's described because I've read the book, I'm asking if you think he had some supernatural element to him or was just a regular-ass rotten psychopath
I'm evading the question because I didn't interpret it that way but I think you're on to something and I want to keep it in mind on my next read.
I wouldn't be surprised if the description of dark spirits conjured by Silna and her ilk are reminiscent of Hickey
>you set them loose to kill for you
>if they don't achieve their task they turn on you and try to kill you
sounds a lot like hickey in that he's generally inept and punishes others for it
>Crozier has psychic powers in the book
???
Correct; Crozier has psychic powers taught to him by his psychic irish grandma
Is that in the book? Because it certainly reads like a shitpost
I can't possibly imagine how Captain Moira Rawdon Crozier having latent psychic shamanistic bear-controlling powers taught to him by his grandmama and that he travels forwards in time as a psychic-ghost presence to haunt two weird american girls who pretend to channel spirits to freak out their dumb aunt and then actually summon Crozier's spirit sounds made up or like a shitpost, you're just being silly

>NNNOOOO COMRADE HICKSTOVITCH YOU CANT USE GRAPHITE TIPPED RODS TO COOL AN RMBK REACTOR AT THIS TEMPERATURE
listen. listen. if you find that hard to believe, maybe you can swallow the fact that lady silence aka the inuit teenager dances with the tuunbaaq and it french kisses her and plays her like a set of bagpipes in a secret ice amphitheatre in exchange for a small heap of putrid fish and that one of crozier's officers witnesses this and it is so incredibly weird and unexpected his body doesn't know how to react to the visual information it is receiving and he cums in his frozen pants and then just crawls away feeling cucked because he wanted to give her a scarf and instead he got styled on by a giant fricked up bear
why is everyone complaining only about a handjob in the pond when the book also had this shit
I've seen every possible spoiler about the book, every significant or funny or memorable scene, except for the fact that the main fricking character had goddamn psychic powers, I learned about that only when actually reading the whole thing
how much of this is actually true
Read the books and find out for yourself.
>"why are you such a good sailor, navigator and magnetist Francis?" "Well you see, my grandma had magic powers and she passed it on to me"
The fricking Irish, man. No wonder the English hated them.
>BOOKgay RUNDOWN
dont care about your man childrens literature
>during the masquerade (when Crozier emerges from his self-imposed sobering) there's a series of rooms constructed of dyed sails erected on the ice. one of these rooms has the tuunbaaq just hanging around in the dark until it gets noticed, at which point it starts killing them.
I was so disappointed in the shows version of the carnival.
I was hyping it up so much too.
you forgot
>Hickey and his buddies get flogged fifty lashes each just for making manbearpig themed costumes and decorations for the Carnivale because Crozier was autistic about bear imagery
conveniently left out the part where they had a decapitated sir john costume too you slimy irishman
>one of these rooms has the tuunbaaq just hanging around in the dark until it gets noticed, at which point it starts killing them.
Genuinely frightening
Franklin's Niece seduces Crozier and jacks him off in a pond. he asks her to marry him the next day and she laughs at him, telling him she'd rather marry his younger, hotter friend
If I was of Franklin's family I would have sued for defamation
>there's a scene where the tuunbaaq uses lady silence as a set of bagpipes, playing a crazy song with her vocal chords
I don't really understand this imagery. He possesses her? Is that what you are saying?
no he places his bear snout over her human face and lifts her up into the air and plays a song like on a bagpipes
I'm losing it. Can someone post the transcript of this scene from the book?
It's pretty much reddit meets netflix meets globohomosexual feminism. Basically it's feminism the show made to hypnotise the viewer into thinking "white men bad" and "POC women good". There isn't really much more to this dreary show than that.

GIVE ME A STREAM
NO I WILL NOT SIGN UP FOR gayFLIX DON'T ASK
torrent it dudely.
the show has pretty cool shots when it is not CGI scenes.
its worth the quality.
eh too much effort
https://fmovies.to/series/the-terror-2p9q2/1-1
Don't listen to torrent gay, it's streaming in 1080p on fmovies.
Based, thanks man
I'd just skip season 2 altogether, it's apparently shit. I never watched it. Has nothing to do with the first season.
Okay, I will
Actual sex outside of wedlock is still evil anyways
>Actual sex outside of wedlock is still evil anyways
Dubs of truth
It's not shit, it's actually kinda good, it just should have been its own thing and not tied to The Terror title.
Season 2 is just a different show altogether. It does have one really standout shocking scene where a guy gets shot to death in front of his gf because he tried to lift some documents from an american concentration camp administrator; his GF is said American's assistant so she assumes he'll be lenient but the japanese guy gets unexpectedly killed just off screen and she screams in horror. That's the one scene that really stayed with me.
Later on there's a scene at like area 51 or some shit? And the ghost is the ghost of someone's dead spurned wife or something? Season 2 was really odd and I'm fairly certain they just slapped the Terror label on another horror themed show to pump up hype.
Fin
rest in peace Mr. Hickey
I don't suppose you have the Hickey REKT scene handy?
Here you go friend.
jesus chris that cgi
>"...is really good for a TV show."
There, finished your sentence for you.
Much obliged. You're a gentleman and a scholar.
omg is he ok?
He's fine, he killed the monster.
The lot of them are simply resting. It was a harrowing day.
i like the show, but this just looks trash.
plus none of them looked famished or weather weary.
Their clothes are tattered and dirty, their hair is greasy and overgrown, everyone is covered in blisters and scabs and shit from the scurvy, I have no clue what you're talking about anon. Everyone in the final 2 episodes looks like death
hair kino
God, why did I had to click it
Some of you guys are cool. Stay off of Terror after four bells tomorrow.
hes so cute aaaaa
I've said it before, and I'l say it again: the book did the Tuunbaq much better, but its inclusion in the show was not detrimental. It didn't add much, but it plays such a small role in the overall ethos of the show that it's easy to look past its shortcomings.
ok great can you stop complaining about all the stuff you don't like now?
while you're digesting all that i might also mention that the penultimate event in crozier's quest to find his lost crew is discovering a man/rat hybrid sleeping in his quarters on the derelict HMS Terror and crozier just quietly leaves and burns the ship down without telling anyone
oh and this is just an aside but dan simmons (author of The Terror) also wrote a book about spies climbing mount everest to deliver pictures of hitler sucking dick and they are rescued from the evil nazis by abominable snowmen
one last thing
dan simmons also wrote a book about a holocaust survivor who uses science to give himself holocaust powers that he blasts at a psychic nazi vampire to prevent himself from being mind controlled
book is called carrion comfort and it. is. amazing
good night everybody see you next thread
Thanks for the insight, book anon.
I'm going to go pull a Croizer and take up heavy drinking now.
One problem with the show's portrayal of the Tuunbaq is that the book version doesn't translate to the screen well. How are you supposed to film a creature rising suddenly out of the ice, killing a bunch of people, then disappearing again? The Tuunbaq isn't a strictly physical being in the book, but its very hard to portray that on tv
Would a mist or fog apparition work for phasing through solid objects like the ice?
it should come out of a reflection in the ice.
Wasn't most of the ice rather opaque or snow covered though? The only clear stuff I recall was the firepit walls. Not that it'd be difficult to clean up a patch or twelve.
I wish John's death scene was more like in the book, where he sees two small dark stones in the snow, and is looking at them curiously when they blink. Before he can say anything to any of the Marines, the Tuunbaq erupts from the ice and slaughters everyone.
HELLO JOHN.
More recommended shows?
Old new, doesn't matter
Rome and Chernobyl if you liked the captains
North Water for more icy misery
Not that anon but fukken saved
Holy everloving based anon. Saved and checked, you are a hero
You are much too kind, for I received it from an anonymous poster just as you have
Never saw this before, but damn it's a good list.
>come watch kino with us, anon!
Best shows of the last 5 years?
The Terror is the best show of the last 5 years. Runner up is Chernobyl. North Water was meh
I was going to watch Chernobyl next. The joys of being late to the party but better late than never.
Just finished the first three episodes.
Already sick of the gays and even the glimpse of the monster looked bad, but everything else is stunningly decent to truly good, though I'll be sad to see less of the ships as the party heads out and hogs screen time.
I like the Inuit actress, what are some other movies she's in, what's her lewdest performance?
>>no forced diversity
It literally just made it, had it been made even just a year later there would have been Black folk and women all over the ship.
The North Water came out in 2021 and was virtually the same as The Terror
homosexual
nah, it came out well after forced diversity infected everything, the terror is just an enigma
Was it real or imagined?
only hallucination in the show imo, though I don't have any good reason why
He seemed particularly haunted after seeing the guy's fall from the sails and his inability to save him from the water. That on top of a novel but incredibly dangerous trip underwater.
Collins definitely psyched himself out regardless.
real. it was the guy who died falling from the sail and drowned
the homo, the natives, and anthology format were probably enough. remember the second series was about how evil the US was to the japanese
NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER
Cornelius Hickey unironically did nothing wrong.
He was a gay though
but a cute gay
it's a meme but outside of killing Irving he didn't do anything that wasn't morally justified in some way
Heather being alive for so long with his brain in the open air is top moronation
It's too explicit to add horror or mysticism so it's just kind of moronic
Eh? People cracked skulls to release head pressure since forever.
Yeah the Mayans did and they did it with a bone scalpel, a small hole, and closed it back up immediately after. Brains cannot survive in the outer air just with their membrane. They need the pressure and fluid of the skull.
I dont remember which scene anon is talking about so i dont know how much of the brain is exposed, but the major problem is infection with a brain being exposed. For the blood vessels to function they need to be protected, but the actual brain is technically functional even when totally exposed, albeit not for long
