Nobody knows. That scene was based on real life witness accounts, describing the body that was found.

Most likely explanation is either craziness getting to him, or just an overtly elaborate way of purposely causing oneself pain to induce blood rush in deadening tissue.

I learned how to correctly pronounce the word Lieutenant watching this show

>was this the scariest scene or are there worse ones?

IMO it was the scariest. There were more gory/jumpscary/etc scenes but, the sheer dread of that one is unmatched.

This and also sea men have long history of piercings, they had superstitions of piercing improving eyesight etc.

Yes, he was the only one to survive the expedition, and then went on to study nuclear physics in Russia.

Fuck you for making this thread, OP.

Now I've got to rewatch it. Again.

t. semi-zoomer who hasn't watched The Sopranos or Mad Men or The Wire or Generation Kill etc.
It's a good show though

Lovely uniforms.

Is Terror and MC set during the same time?

OP here, Mad Men is my favourite show of all time, and I am watching The Sopranos intermittently (and the Wire is shit)
kindly fuck off

what about the dozen men they left in the boat before they went away?
Crozier doesn't mention them later, they simply abandoned them

MC is during the Napoleonic wars, so the turn of the 19th century. Terror's about 40-50 years later

MISTER HICKEY

MISTER HICKEY!

what does that have to do with it? i'm asking why the fuck he had golden chains all over his face like Xerxes from 300

let's face it, the joke isn't funny and it's only carried by the characters laughing. They laugh so the American audience laughs.
Even the acting is bad because the actors couldn't convincingly fake laughter there: youtu.be/440l8poSQiA?t=36
In fact it isn't even meant to be funny, yet retards think it is.

Damn. Just when I felt like watching it and having the time for that.

the captain you mean? not sure myself now that i think about it, he just felt like he had a connection with him ("you're the only here who's at my level" or something like that)

We'll never get get a american Polaris season where everyone gets drunk starts playing around with guns and poisons Captain Hall.

don't project your /pol/ insecurities on me please, i simply didn't like the show. black people don't factor in
what site do you use? fmovies should have all of it. i've also started using lookmovie recently, it has 1080p versions sometimes

do you really, really think the joke is actually funny? It's a simple pun that is presented as the greatest gag of all time. It's realistic, because that's what drunk people would laugh at.
The doctor's reaction is what most people would do when sober. You wouldn't burst your gut laughing if you heard that in real life.
You guys are just so transported into this world and see people laughing that you can't analyse it for what it is.

Because cosplaying as the villain of a movie that hasn't even come out yet while your death is at hand is irrational behavior.

pure narcissism then

>is presented as the greatest gag of all time
No, it's not. It's not the joke that we love, it's the mood of the scene. Which you would get, if you weren't a female.

Rome ended too soon, Yea Forumsros. ;_;

What a terrific fucking actor he is, Fitzjames was my favorite character just because of him.

Probably the scariest. I really enjoyed the show, but one of the things I disliked was how quickly "the terror" dissipates. After 2-3 episodes of suspense and not knowing what's going on, the monster gets the slasher flick treatment.

Great show regardless, you should definitely watch it.

Horrible post, but kek.

Just finished it. Pretty great. I don't have anything to contribute.

Just forget about it. The whole season (or really the last four) were so incomprehensible and retarded that the only way to cope with it is to not consider it canon.
Kinda like Nu Wars.

what's the point of that? we can already see their minds and bodies decaying very obviously throughout the entire show. that's just adding a redundancy that's not needed since it's being explicitly shown every episode

The human-like polar bear mirrors how the expedition is slowly losing their civilized nature, reducing them to "animals"

I didn't like the ending. I feel like all the heroism and sacrifice of the crew went to waste with him not going back to tell their story.

Get ready for The Terror season two: White Men Bad Edition.

Lmao

i mean i get it but it seems like a pointless detail when a big part of the show is the crew losing their civility and becoming barbaric and treacherous. it feels like that point doesn't need to be reinforced subtly through the bear's appearance because it's already so obvious and in your face

When will they learn?

Man, that scene was brutal

I think the point was that the crew are so scared and focused on this bear, while the true "terror™" was themselves.

>what is acting

strong 9/10 production
jared harris is gold, as always

Wait, there was a physical monster? I thought the entire thing was CGI

Is this satire?

im getting the weirdest feeling. its some sort of alternate, uncanny valley, where real life looks like bad cgi

its breaking my brain

Apparently.
Does anyone know when the monster was practical? Before someone posted that picture here I also thought it was completely CGI.

Me too, i can't tell the difference between real stuff and bad cgi anymore.

that looks scarier than a bear tho

i know, that's why i'm asking, it doesn't seem to be related to age or rank, or laybe i missed something

Do people actually call others by their last name?

It would be perfect if not for the stupid monster. Dan Simmon is a hack.

Why? The writing was abysmal. Good acting, but what sjw historical rewriting anti-white moron wrote that trash. And the monster was ugly af.

because its not related to age or rank. its respect. i just said that.

its 1845? probably.

You realize that was also the point of S1?

I have never seen this movie, and I laughed just now.

/pol/ has utterly ruined this website

so the lads they call by their first name aren't respected then?

Maybe they are really trying to find small pieces of humour in an otherwise serious, often uncomformtable, and occasionally terrifying and dangerous daily routine?

how so?

what did lieutenant chainface only appear right at the end? he seems like a highly decorated officer yet he got so little screentime.

Imagine being such a smug pleb

mad men was over drawn, preachy, pretentious, narrative driven crap.

At least make it more arbitrary, never showing it on screen so the viewer has to imagine it like in books and it could be realistic bear.

Centrists ARE Nazis

Villain was kind of lame.

Those forks were a brilliant idea.

were the forks just to choke the bear when it tried to eat him or did I miss some sorta joke cos I wasn't paying attention?

Sailors believed the gold piercings in their skin would somehow balance the humors in cases of sickness. It was an old superstition by this point, but it highlights the sheer desperation of even the highly disciplined officers.

Thanks m8.

The show is only ever properly "scary" in the first episode or two, when they're still playing up the mystery of the local spirits or what have you (the underwater scene, the dying man seeing spirits standing at the end of his bed, etc). As soon as they introduce the monster all of that gets abandoned to the wayside and the threat is just "run away from the big bear".
