This show could have been a legit 10/10 that could have surpassed all others and have gone down as landmark television if it wasn't for that stupid bear plot point.

It saddens me to say it, but Dan Simmons is as much of a hack as GRR Martin is.

the bear was the best part. they should have cut out all the lame sailors and just made it ten episodes of the bear eating seals

look at this ridiculous fantasy shit.

Lmao 10/10?? Without the bear, the show is literally just a bunch of faggy old sailors going "muh honor" or "muh prestige"

That entirely depends on if you like supernatural elements or not.
They would all have died, regardless of the bear.

Only when it was on screen. The scenes discussing it are pretty high on the kino scale

>supernatural bear thing is named Tuunbaq
>Eskimos tell sailors to turn-back

What a bunch of hacks

I am telling you right now nobody will admit it out loud but deep down we all agree that the gay sailors subplot is so unwatchable and creepy as shit and is the reason this show bombed.

and that's a good thing, stupid user

the subplot that took up like 10 minutes total of screen time?

It definitely dragged on in the book a little too long. Didnt see the show, did the Expanse beltalowda guy become a god talker and get the sexy eskimo lady in the end?

kek why would Yea Forums act all PC and not call it unwatchable?

nope. she leaves and he stays with some eski family. last shot is of him waiting by the seal hole with his harpoon while eski family's kid is sleeping by his side.

I wish GRRM was more of a hack, he'd have finished his fucking books by now if he was.

>the terror is objectively kino but [insert incel complaint]
>chernobyl is objectively kino but [insert incel complaint]
>endgame is perfect tho!
You incels crack me up, don't shoot up anybody though

it was also strongly implied that she was in love with goodsir and goodsir with her. she was exiled by her tribe for loosing the bear (crozier kills him when he was already in weakened state) and crozier wa sbanned for eevr looking for her. they changed a lot. in TV version, crozier and sophia were true love, she didn't just play with him.

reminder: hallucinations are a symptom of almost every level of lead poisoning.

This show didn't bomb, it got a second season despite being a fucking miniseries because of how good it did

endgame is almost trash but infinity war is kino.

>infinity war is kino
Holy cringe

The ending made no sense. It's better explained in the book but in the show the cap just stays there for some reason.

the problem wasnt the bear
they cut out most of the bear from the novel anyways
the problem was how they neutered the bear from the novel
>long skinny face
>long skinny front legs and short stubby rears
>only walks on the front ones
>isnt a physical being
>doesnt run around, is described as wind carrying snow when moving around
>phasing in and out of the ice
>the feeling isnt that its an animal but the enviroment as a whole that wants the crew dead

this, the ending was awful.
le subverted expectations i was listening in the whole time xD
and what was with that minute long shot of crozier over the fishing hole? absolute garbage

>of the expedition of 130 men only you survived
>promised to Franklin's niece you'll keep him safe
>already disliked for being irish
>implying he'd be welcomed with open arms instead of just being shamed and blamed for the failure of the expedition

>the bad guy is gay
why didnt this show get shit on when it came out

Because no one watched it.

That's not fantasy bullshit, that's a short-faced bear (an actual extinct species) with some human-like features.

The design was pretty great, but they failed by showing it too much in clear light. That's like rule no 1 of all horror - it's not scary if you can see the monster.

Only fags don't like the Tuunbaq.

Imagine being this retarded.

Based

I assumed it was his kid.

show was 10/10 up until 5 episode when they left ships for good. Would drop it if not for kino actors

he chose to integrate with the native culture instead of sticking with the foreigner imperialist culture that only caused destruction and pain due to not caring to understand the world they entered. He, like Goodsir, saw what they had become and desperately wanted something better. Goodsir was always attempting to explain to Lady Silence that Englishmen are not really like this, but at his death he gave up on humanity while Crozier gave up and changed himself.
What the show creator had to say about Goodsir's visions on the moment of death:
>He is someone who has always looked to both the natural world and to relationships, human relationships, as the things that have nourished his spirit. And to be in a position at the end of this where he’s sacrificing himself in hopes of helping the few people in this group that he still feels are worth helping, or sacrificing himself for, but at the same time, we see into his head what he’s imagining when he leaves this world, and it isn’t people.

>with some human-like features.
Yes dumbass, that's the point. The human features make it look like an english hooligan somehow fucked a bear and made this.
