LadyPictureShow posted:drat, really? That’s kind of like how Germany has a raccoon problem because a baron or Kaiser imported them because he wanted to hunt different stuff. Or the multitude of snakes and Capybaras on the loose in Florida. Japan got a raccoon problem because a anime featured the animal which led to predictable results.

From Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_feral_camel  Some people are using them for milk now so animal control doesn’t have to cull them from helicopters.

Goddamn, Frozen in Time was really good. It's a fairly quick read if you're at all interested in the Franklin stuff.

Reading about the USS Jeannette. Stuck in the arctic ice with canned food. Doctor figured out they had lead poisoning and found the source (can soldering). Cured the crew. U S A U S A

And it was the distribution of the wreckage from the Jeanette that inspired Nansen's Fram expedition.

I don’t know how lead poisoning, scurvy and all the various deprivations suffered by the crew affect long term health but: what's the last point at which most of the men could've been rescued and gone on to live normal-ish lives. Were the lead and other types of damage reversable, could they have been rescued at say, the night of the gallows, or were they dead men walking the whole time? One of the things that got to me was how Crozier tried to keep up hope no matter how bleak the circumstance or far-gone the man, and if they were doomed from the start even if they did find help would make it even sadder.

Lead poisoning can be permanently debilitating, but scurvy goes away in a day or two with vitimins. So, they probably wouldn't ever have been right in the head again, but everyone could have recovered. Interestingly, if they had been on the opposite side of the island, they never would have been packed in. Apparently the side of the island the ships ended up on is almost always frozen over, while the opposing channel remains clear...

https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/the-terror-renewed-amc-1202854102/ It’s coming back! The S2 concept sounds great to me - I’m very excited about this as the Globetrotting Horror Folklore + Man’s Long History Of Inhumanity To Man Show, as opposed to them tackling another expedition, or another disappearance.

They gambled that the chance of rescue was higher since they part of the Arctic was better mapped and also occasionally attracted whaling ships.

I guess knowing it's supposed to be a horror show won't make it as bad. I had no idea this show was supposed to be a fantasy horror show and came in assuming it was a historical telling of trying to find the northwest passage.

The show was awesome, but it seems possible the real story (as well as we know it) could have been more interesting. Fascinating update from Woodman after the Erebus was found: http://www.ric.edu/faculty/rpotter/woodman/inuittales_terror.pdf Anyone know if he's written anything since? Edit: also in 2007 some of my friends and family (don't dox me) did a canoe trip up the Back River and ended up in Gjoa Haven on King William Island. Looks like the photo page is gone but you can see the route here: http://www.transarcticexpedition.com/route.html Some photos here: http://www.transarcticexpedition.com/tripJournal.html They encountered much more ice than expected, and started their trip dragging the canoes 80 miles over ice, in June. Trip updates seem to have been left out of the main site index: http://www.transarcticexpedition.com/tripUpdates.html SurgicalOntologist fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Jun 22, 2018 |

When I read the book like 10 years ago, I recall reading about his process and Simmons really did put in a lot of research and considered the various theories surrounding what happened to the Expedition. It was written before either ship was found, so we have the benefit of new knowledge to critique the book/show's plot. He thought it likely that the tins were the culprit, but he's a horror writer by trade so he put in the supernatural twist. It is a fascinating story that captivated even contemporary English people and a purely historical fiction account of it would probably be great as well. But they were adapting a specific work, giant scary monsters work great on the TV and create action beats, and otherwise the action is just a bunch of dudes sitting around slowly dying of scurvy and lead poisoning.

I would have really enjoyed a purely historical telling of this story, but given that he killed the bear at the end you could just chalk everything up to lead poisoning making them crazy if you really wanted. I mean, once he got away from the tins, Crozier never saw Tunbaaq again...

The last scene passed from sweet bromance to a little romantic. Still quite beautiful. Noo friends don't leave Francis alone I love this show beyond what I ever thought going into it. All the characters are nuanced and have substance. A lesser show would have made the commander who died a complete Michael from the office tit, but he was quite a good leader in his own way. Same with the typical theme of these sorts of shows showing the savagery of civilization, but a lot of the crews strength draws on rituals and traditions of the Navy in quite a wonderful way. One that contrasts the usual depiction of staunch traditionalism as a weakness. MOVIE MAJICK fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Jun 24, 2018 |
