well personally i like it when there’s incest and necrophilia and murder and cannibalism and abuse and torture and gore and mutilation and body horror and sexual depravity and death.

What a year! In 1847 you listened to:

365 days of the creaking hull of the ship

0 days of waves

22 different species of birds

125 men singing

4 types of unknown noises from the orlop

3 instances of The Sounds of The Creature

…and you heard Commander Fitzjames’ bullet wound story a whopping 31 times!

The fucking audacity of Starbucks to name their brand after a Moby Dick character and then completely abandon that theme… I should be able to roll up to a Starbucks and order a ‘Moby Dick’ (lethal amount of espresso in an extra large white cup)

copy-and-pasting from discord but i had a realization

out of the three people on the expedition that already speak inuktitut, one is the only irishman and another is the only scotsman. which, i think, Says Something part of britain, but not of their own volition. inherently set apart and deemed lesser by their own supposed brothers... you see crozier get it a lot, but it creeps into the background with mcdonald, too. in the first episode, sir john insists that stanley evaluate young as well, and doesn't listen to mcdonald's professional advice. in episode 6, nobody listens to mcdonald during the fire, and he dies as a result. i'm sure there's more that i can't think of off the top of my head literally the first time you see mcdonald in the show is sir john disregarding his authority

like!! mmm, the narrative journey of crozier choosing the inuit over britain is so fucking good, but the background dynamics as well-- the fact that hickey lies (poorly) about being irish and it's obvious but crozier would rather believe he has a brother on board than call him out.

and when goodsir talks about mcdonald's diaries and calls on his knowledge, he's sort of-- smiled and nodded at, even though mcdonald was there, his journals would have some of the most helpful information they could call on, especially once they encounter the inuit themselves, and yet!! and yet mcdonald is dismissed, why?

it's so fucking palpable. colonization and assimilation taints every inch of this show, and when you also consider the fact that the real goodsir was scottish, too, and his role becoming the fourth to connect with silna in her own language... [screams]

crozier's line to hickey about how if he'd disguised his own irishness, they might not be in this situation, because sir john would have listened to him, haunts me every fucking day.

because that's the crux of it, isn't it. even with everything crozier has done. he's still irish. even with everything mcdonald has done. he's still scottish. and they have more in common with the people on the ice than the ones they've followed to their doom.
