#terror script

[sailon-ishmael]

Reading terror episode scripts and the deleted scenes got me clocking in for a shift at the killing myself factory what do you MEAN Stanley sees a vision of his daughter running through the carnivale tent after he finds out about the lead 😭what the fuck is that Dave 😭😭

On a related note, I love this particular bit of the script too, and reckon it would've been cool to see it fully realised on screen, just to hammer home even further just how futile their efforts are:

-

The sun, however, is setting and the temperature is dropping quickly. Incredibly, they can see it as it falls. 1. The wet sides of Terror’s hull go frost white every time it rises from the water. 2. The very leads they are opening begin to freeze over with wafer-thin ice right before their eyes. The men break it like Christmas glass. 3. SQUEALS begins coming from the ice around them -growlers and pressure ridges RUBBING AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. Every few moments, one CRACKS like a shot. The men look around on all sides, as if being closed in upon by invading troops. It is getting harder and harder to see.

This prompted me to double check the script because I know he says "we", and geez

PEGLAR: John-- (simply) Can we sleep?

These words jolt Bridgens with their loveliness. Peglar is remembering happier times, which is a comfort.

HAPPY TERROR ON NETFLIX DAY

bad news though

"Franklin smiles, as if at a favorite son. Gore’s face and build are indeed chiseled in sharp angles, honed by Victorian virtues. Fitzjames feels the spotlight dim over his own head." INSANEEEE must the terror script do me like this truly...

THE TERROR ▸ 1.10 we are gone

crozier is realizing he is not the hero of this story, but its antagonist. a profound unrest is beginning for him, a debt he will need to make right somehow. crozier looks at silna, who discreetly and very firmly shakes her head: tell him nothing. she is protecting him, even now.

Old piece of art

I’ll forever miss you, twitter terror script. It’s the end of a beautiful beautiful era. Not to sound sappy, but terror script was an example of trying to maintain the legacy of a piece of art/media people love and appreciate.

I hope this fandom continues to live on!

Original link doesn’t work, but I think this is it

I found what is apparently an early draft of the Terror’s pilot script

its pretty much what made it on screen but with a few things I’m sad we were deprived of like 

and lot more graham gore including

you know the terror's characters are based on real people because otherwise no one in their right mind would write a serious conversation between two characters named sir john, in which they discuss the fate of a third character, also named sir john

definitely something i missed in the show…why are we always putting dundy in the soup?

THE TERROR (2018) S01E09 "The C, The C, The Open C"

If we are to deposit anything with a view to return at some later date, it will be things, not men. I'd rather we leave our tents behind and sleep two to a sack, like the orphans we are, than leave one man alone with last burdens. And I speak not only of James. I'll not leave any one of you alone either.

Experiencing McDonald’s death in script form was somehow even more upsetting than watching it on screen my poor skewered boy

[saints-who-never-existed]

Y'know, as much as I want to see multiple episodes-worth of everyday friendship things and Beach(y)-episode nonsense, I have to admit that my train of thought today was actually inspired more by the thought of The Lads (TM) clashing.

More specifically, it came from remembering this gem of a scene from that very earliest pilot script in which it's not Irving who reprimands Manson for his refusal to enter the hold but Dundy (who is also described in the script as "impatient and shrill")

Isn't that just so fascinating?! Le Vesconte actively displaying callousness and poor judgement right from the get-go? Gore even being a bit antagonistic in the way he belittles Dundy as he leaves? It's such a fascinating thing to me and it changes everything!

[marius-ponting-that-mercy]

the terror script has so many little details in it. recent example i just noticed:

crozier says his line about a ship being a confessor, and then he "...shuts the cubby. When he does, he does *not* see a small set of freshly carved initials in the corner of the lid: 'E.C.' Someone's done this recently."

the ship is hickey's confessor just as much as it is crozier's. oughh

[daincrediblegg]

I love learning that some of that wardroom scene with crozier and jfj was improvised now. I always thought the way jared said "I was, in fact, ordered" was very interesting and low-key a little broken from the scene and it's like yes queen your eyes did not fail you now as they have never failed you that shit was on the fly

lady silence watches crozier go to each of the dead bodies here to check who it is, and close their eyes.
