okay okay okay so i just finished the terror and i think i'm insane
#okay alright so here's the thing#i've never really seen a tragedy through to its endpoint. that is what this is.#however. ohhh my god i need to do another rewatch Right Now so i can listen to the music#i noticed something right at the beginning but i think there might be something to analyze in how western tonality breaks down throughout i#so like. it's set in the mid 1800s. we've got some pretty solid era of western tonality happening. and i can't help but wonder#if the show descends into the brutality of the arctic. does the music foreshadow or parallel this#bc there's some jaunty tune in ep 1 and music like that just Vanishes pretty immediately thereafter.#and the last shot has the most haunting sustained pitches with really really dissonant overtones.#and ends unresolved. in a way that pieces from the 1800s standard canon don't.... really do. and i just. augh. hm. how does the music work#i must know and i must know Now#the terror#so sorry y'all i'm just stuck like this you're in for the long haul
