“Aww imagine a good boy and his boss loved him like a son and wanted to fuck him 🥹” boringggg sorry Jopzier fans but it will never compare to the elite “imagine a racist piece of shit whose boss HATED him like a DAD and he STILL wanted to fuck that old man so bad he ruined both of their lives” pairing that is Hickey/Crozier

I pay attention to different things during every Terror rewatch. This time, I was focusing a lot on Crozier (because Jared Harris does the best drunk acting I've ever seen) and his alcoholism. I noticed that during that talk with Fitzjames in Punished as a Boy, he's heavily intoxicated to the point that he's acting noticeably emotional and winsome. Fitzjames is so unsettled that his captain is slyly referencing his doomed relationship with Sophia and admitting to only being on the expedition because she asked him to look after Franklin, and I can't blame him. Like, these two have never had a personal conversation before; Fitzjames knows all of Crozier's less public backstory beats from Franklin, presumably. It's just such a deeply sad scene to me, and I love how Fitzjames tries to soften his frustration and reach out in sympathy but is immediately shut down. This show never stops giving.

i saw someone on here say that jared harris as crozier does the best drunk acting they've ever seen and i've never really noticed that before but it's actually so true. media will depict "slightly tipsy" or "shitfaced" but you never see the actual alcoholic experience: you drink at such quantity and frequency that your tolerance is ridiculous, but that doesn't mean you're immune. a drunk, lifetime alcoholic will often seem quite normal, very normal to an outsider– not really slurring, stumbling, blacking out, or doing stupid bullshit. but there's always still a tell. it's almost like the uncanny valley, someone who seems 90% normal but somehow, indefinably "off". someone who can go about their life fairly normally, but there is still a wall there, some significant impediment to feeling and living in the same realm as everyone else. someone might look and act normal, but inhabit a different frame of reality than everyone else, and you can sort of sense that distance even if you can't identify it. and this does track w the book, when peglar tells bridgens that a sober crozier is experiencing the world wholly and fully for the first time in decades. it's a really subtle thing, but if you have personal experience– as an addict or someone who's been very close to an addict– it's incredibly poignant and true

Terror Rewatch - episode 1, go for broke. This time what really caught my eye is this scene:

James Fitzjames is telling his chinese sniper story (again) and Edward Little pipes up with "like the shot that killed Nelson at Trafalgar".

We get Edward's face and Fitzjames's face but I would really like Franklin's face in this moment. I suspect Little doesn't know this (too young) or he knows vaguely about it but it hasn't sunk in: Cpt Sir John Franklin was *at* Trafalgar! He was on HMS Bellerophon and as a signals midshipman (he was 19 years old at the time) was who reported & relayed the famous "England expects every man to do his duty" signal. Bellerophon lost their Captain John Cooke to sniper fire that day, along with 27 others dead and 123 wounded, including Franklin's fellow middie, John Simmonds. It's not clear to me if Franklin watched his captain die (like Nelson, it wasn't instant) but it's almost certain he watched a lot of his close colleagues suffer and die that day.

Look, I don't like the fella, but I really wonder how painful a memory Trafalgar is for Cpt Franklin (I have heard sources suggest he joined the Discovery Service because he wanted to stay in the Navy but didn't want to fight/was a pacifist), and Ned Little just brings it up like it's nothing! For everyone else in this wardroom, Trafalgar is a glorious war-story for the Empire. For Franklin, it's the day he, as a dang 19 year old, watched *a lot* of people die, and it does seem to have affected his future life & choices (unfortunately, eschewing imperialism & all it stood for was not one he made). I'd've loved to see what Ciaran Hinds would bring to Franklin's face when Lieut Little makes that comment.

Idea: The Terror but they add namecards everytime someone shows up on screen like in a reality TV show so I know which white man with sideburns I'm looking at now
