Just thinking about the foreshadowing in the first 3 episodes of The Terror again as to Goodsir’s fate, what with him performing the autopsy on David Young and trying to save Silna’s dad. How Stanley identifies him as ‘lesser’ (or even ‘other’) due to his training as an anatomist. And just how Goodsir recognizes the bodies he works on as people still even as he’s cutting into them. He was coded as ‘The Butcher’ from the beginning but was fighting against it the whole time

#I’ve just thinking a lot about the ritual of cannibalism??#and until Goodsir’s death the mutineers know what they’re eating but aren’t forced to confront it #I also find it really interesting that Goodsir is so against survival cannibalism #like is it just the situation (i.e. being kidnapped and Hickey killing people)#and he would of been cool with Camp Little eating people #it is he just fundamentally opposed #the terror #the terror amc #harry goodsir #the terror meta
