re: Anyone watching The Terror on AMC?

It was billed as an anthology series - so season 2 would have a separate storyline. Hopefully (if the series is continued) they keep doing period pieces on European explorations that went wrong/missing.

Hickey's dead!

Side note: they had some gorgeous fur coats at the end

Great tale

Weird ending. I don’t like that Crozier ends up living. And I didn’t fully understand what happened in the end....I assume he just decided to stay with the Eskimo people forever? And was that his kid at the end?

That ending shot seemed like it was trying too hard to be meaningful and fell flat for me. But I didn’t care. Awesome, awesome show. Loved how Hickey went out, thinking he had Tuunbaq figured out and it backfires. Goodsir went out like a boss as well...even indirectly took out the monster too.

Interested to see what they do with the series. Instead of making it a multi season series they should just shell out a new miniseries like this every year. Hopefully the ratings were good enough to actually merit that.

My one complaint (very trivial) was that Tuunbaaq just looked so.. goofy. With all the visuals they could have made him look a little better. He kinda just looked like a large hairless dog

And if only took us 10 episodes to learn Lady Silence’s real name

One question is why didn’t Crozier die of lead poisoning like the other crew members?

I believe he and the other higher ranking guys on the ship were eating food other than the canned food until things went south. I remember them saying they had slaughtered a certain amount of animals and preserved the meat for the trip. So they eventually started eating the canned food but weren’t exposed to it as long as the rest of the crew.

I absolutely do not understand the lack of interest in this series.

Well people don't like watching shows in closed caption

...with an almost human face.

I agree with you that Tunbaaq was odd looking and was likely the worst aspect of the series. It’s like they didn’t even try to make him look real at all. And definitely didn’t care that he looked nothing like a polar bear.
