You really didn't need more complicated theories since the guys were trying to haul sleds burning 8000+ calories a day on starvation diets. Which also probably didn't have adequate nutrition as well because they didn't realize that the canning process destroys many beneficial things like Vitamin C.

Did I miss the explanation for why the rescue party Crozier originally sent out was not only dead (understandable), but decapitated and arranged as they were ? Watched this series over the last week, it has me pretty horny for arctic exploration.

They just got caught by Tuunbaq; it arranged body parts before like the top half of one guy set on top of the bottom half of another guy after it had bisected both of them.

Between that and the bisected person combo we can infer that the creature has an extremely unanimalistic penchant for psyops.

Tuunbaq has a creative side, but his art fails to impress Lady Silence, the object of his affection.

I think the Tuunbaq definitely had a budgetary restriction which had a tangible effect on the production. I just read the script for the first episode and it interestingly describes a bunch of extra detail with the Tuunbaq appearing over the dying man in episode 1, and swimming around the ship at the end, stalking it. Also on a rewatch during the attack on the camp, there's a lot of oddly edited moments. The scene cuts but the way the camera moves indicates it was probably initially a True Detective style long take action sequence that was chopped up in the edit.

given how many people found the appearance of tuunbaq comical, holding the full reveal off was probably a good move.

Yeah it's classic example of why keeping monster appearances to a minimal is the approach some films use. He looks like a downs syndrome polar bear in the series.

Sorry if this was posted but I didn't see it, more details on S2. https://www.amc.com/shows/the-terror/talk/2018/06/the-terror-renewed-for-season-2 quote:The next iteration, co-created and executive-produced by Alexander Woo (True Blood) and Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla), will be set during World War II and center on an uncanny specter that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific. The second season will also once again be executive-produced by legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott.

They've said there's a monster. “an uncanny specter that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific,” Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Nov 27, 2018 |

And if there is a monster, it's implied, shown sparingly, left to conjecture; just don't stick it out there like a cheap horror movie.

I do not mind monsters, in fact I think monsters are awesome The issue with The Terror is that most of it isn't about the monster but then it suddenly is about the monster AND the monster is just a really fat bear which is less than interesting. Despite this, the show was still good because of how different it was and because it rested on the shoulders of awesome actors

The sad thing about tuunbaq incels is that the group was started by a female tuunbaq frustrated about not being able to find a mate, but then the male tuunbaq incels showed up and threatened to kill her and got themselves banned from tuunbaq Reddit for being assholes.

Hasselblad posted:Wasn't Fortitude brought up in this here thread? At what point does it get good? I like the show a lot, so it was probably me who recommended it. It shifts genres around a few times, which I think people found off-putting, it initially presents as Nordic noir, but shifts into sci-fi, and then slasher horror, with hints of cosmic horror all the way through. Which is presumably where it's going in its final season. So if it isn't initially working for you, and I'm guessing from your post that it isn't, it might work for you by the time you get to later episodes. Or not; I know other goons have reported that they enjoyed the first season but found the second season wanting, but personally I found it to be the other way around. The second season is better paced, with more of the hosed up imagery that the first season occasionally played with. I enjoy how unsentimental and hosed up the show can get, and I enjoy that it largely earns its fuckedupedness by grounding itself in a lot of its earlier episodes. (That's something I liked a lot about The Terror as well. The Terror's first three episodes are largely low incident affairs that slowly move things forward, and it has long periods of solely quotidian nastiness throughout most of its second act. It's only with the fire and the carnival that things really start to get absurd and spectacular). Fortitude's also not the kind of show that does a lot of explaining, which I occasionally found annoying -- though less so in it's second season, which I think goes with the shift in genre. e.g. the pig in the first episode. There's an explanation for what the gently caress it's doing in hospital (they're using it to help deal with frostbite) but it's not anywhere in the show. I found it in an interview on Vox, of all places. But if the end of episode six doesn't get your attention, I don't think anything will.
