I'm pretty good with most accents, and I even had trouble with some of the words, doesn't help that they all speak in that low, English reserve. Gotta say, did not see that ending coming the other night (no spoilers).
April 4, 20187 yr I've been watching brit shows with captioning on for years. Mumbling buggers. Two people separated by a common language I guess. Do we really have to start spoilering what has already aired? Edited April 4, 20187 yr by bschoolprof
April 4, 20187 yr We don't need spoiler nazis on the new site. If a new episode has aired, it is fair game. Don't read the fucking thread until you have seen it.
April 4, 20187 yr Since we're not really spoilering, but would feel bad if I ruined an episode of this great series, i'll put my SPOILER content far down below. Seeing Sir John's leg prepared for burial and placed on a nice little pillow fuckin killed me. And did Hickey take a shit on that dude's bed? That's cold.
April 4, 20187 yr Was not expecting Mance to get offed so soon. All the acting has been great, but Jared Harris (Francis) really stands out.

April 4, 20187 yr Also watching with subtitles. How absurd, out of place, and funny as shit would it have been if one of the dead Eskimeaux's or Eskimook's (or whatever the silly spelling that the subtitles have for "Eskimo") trinkets had been Bobby Brady's tiki?

April 18, 20187 yr Another great episode this week. If you are not watching this show, you are missing out.
April 18, 20187 yr it's a shame they aren't more diplomatic with lady silence. she is their best hope at survival. i don't see how the crew stays so calm. goes to show you how stupid they were back then. the crew is dropping like flies (at what should be an alarming rate), there's a monster polar bear wreaking havoc, the captain is dead, the new captain is in detox, their food is tainted, ice is squeezing and about to shatter the hull of one of the ships, it's -50. Oh, and they are down to two bottles of whiskey. They need to find a land route and get the fuck out of there.

April 18, 20187 yr I sort of wish that we didn't get such a good look at Tuunbaq this past week. It would have added to the mystery and suspense to leave more of it to the imagination.Plus he looks like one of those "bad taxidermy" photos.
April 18, 20187 yr Loved the show, so well acted. English actors blow most American actors out of the water
April 18, 20187 yr all season, they've made this tuunbaq into some kind of mythological monster. turns out it just looks like a polar bear. the thing is, it hasn't been behaving like a polar bear. it's been doing some supernatural feats. i'm wondering if the men aren't suffering from lead poisoning and going cuckoo. either that or it's cabin fever ala jack nicholson in the shining. sailors be going nuts yo.
April 18, 20187 yr I was watching with the closed caption on again, and during the questioning scene the captions were blocking out the "actual" captions on the screen. I got most of it, but I missed the line where Lady Silence says something like "you know how to end this and .......". I'll go back and watch later with captions off but was wondering if anyone could fill me in, thx.
April 18, 20187 yr Also, I don't get Mr. Hickey's angle, just what the fuck is he up to, planning a mutiny? Always with that damn grin on his face... And did he steal the ring from the marine that had just died to give it to his boyfriend? Cold, literally.

Cold, literally.I think Hickey was already a bad guy and then he became insane like a number of other men but because of his personality he was able to channel it and become a leader of a mutiny although clearly deranged

April 24, 20187 yr Good thing they thought to devote some of their precious cargo space to hundreds of costumes, props, and party supplies. I think that's the biggest error in judgment we've seen thus far.
April 24, 20187 yr the dr. came up with a great plan. He was just getting the crew fired up for the long walk out.
April 24, 20187 yr Other than one trunk of costumes, everything for the carnival was re-purposed. The tents were made from sails, etc. What I am wondering is if the man bear demon ripped out her tongue or she had to do it herself.

It looked like she was cutting it out with a shell while the man-bear sat nearby.
April 30, 20187 yr She cut it out herself. That must be one of the "requirements" to "control" it. The scene with the doctor self immolating was creepy as F! When he put his arms out into the cross, it reminded me of the psycho in Silence of the Lambs.
April 30, 20187 yr oops.....only through episode 4 watching it on demand......looks like I need to catch up before reading any more of this thread.
May 1, 20187 yr No shit. Is he just a straight up psychopath who killed the real Hickey just to get on the boat? For some buggery and cannibalism? The original Hannibal the Cannibal. Only 3 episodes left, this is going by too fast, not ready for it to be over.
May 2, 20187 yr what kind of maintenance work does the crew have to do while the ship is locked in the ice? also, why dont they build some sort of crude fortification... how about a small moat around the boat? (ice too tough). what about spare timber and such to make stakes/punji sticks
May 8, 20187 yr Author They weren’t content taking it up to 11. They had to take it up to 12. Wish this had about half a dozen more episodes, but there wouldn’t be enough people left.
May 15, 20187 yr Nope, it is excellent. Is there going to be a 2nd season? I thought it was a one season deal, but after last night's episode it said season finale.
May 15, 20187 yr i've watched every episode. it's good, but not great. episode 1 started with a search party looking for the two ships. i would assume, if there is a second season, it deals with the search party's adventure?
May 22, 20187 yr I like the ending overall (Captain is now an Eskimo, he has nothing to go back to), but there was a lot of WTF in that finale for me. 1) Goodsir poisons himself in a brilliant ploy to poison the cannibals, but this is ultimately for naught, as they are all eaten by polar bear monster. Is that right? Wait, but did the polar bear monster die from the poison? How did it die so quickly? 2) WTF was going on with the chain at the end? Was it tied to a bloke that the monster ate? 3) How is Hickey not sick at all? How did he know that Lady Silence's tongue thing was an offering to the monster? Why is this even an offering? WTF? 4) Why is lady silence banished? Because the monster died? Can anyone explain?
May 22, 20187 yr The Tuunbaq choked on the corpse in it's mouth the best I could tell. I think he looped the chain around it's neck and kept corpse stuck tightly in it's throat.
