Why are you all reblogging this this is not a good post
The thing abt the terror is that the actual sucking and fucking is barely sexual but the mercy kill scene is treated like the actors were rawdogging it on set i love this show

Honestly while i get why people would have happily had 3 seasons of the terror s1 i do actually think the way the story wrapped up was perfect
#idk it's very. neat. poignant. says what it needs to and doesnt overstay its welcome#altho i am absolutely fascinated by the cut footage if only bc of what they possibly could have cut#chatterin'#terror camp 2024#which i did not attend :( too busy being in the southern hemisphere and also ill

Watching the terror while sick is a uniquely funny experience bc these men are all dying of lead poisoning and scurvy and shit and im watching that happen while coughing my lungs up

another thing i really appreciate about the relationship between goodsir and silna and its evolution is that the writers did not pull punches and make goodsir not culpable in imperialism. he鈥檚 the one who makes the decision to keep her father鈥檚 belongings with his body instead of give them to silna which is arguably a contributing factor in her not gaining control of the tuunbaq. their first conversation is him explaining the purpose of the expedition to her and conceptualizing it as a means for trade and expansion. even his initial interest in her is to create a dictionary of inuktitut: seeing her as an object of study rather than a human being. but as time goes on and they spend more time together he breaks (somewhat) out of that imperialist mentality, yet crucially it is not silna鈥檚 job to teach him that colonialism is bad. we don鈥檛 get any scenes of her giving him a ted talk on why his whole world view and purpose is shitty and he should feel bad, because that鈥檚 not her job and not her goal. and yet there is a clear change from researcher-researched to mutual respect (him helping her at carnivale, her helping him after morfin鈥檚 death), even as they both grapple with their respective responsibilities and moral codes and ties which ultimately separate them. i think a lesser writing team would have made educating goodsir on the follies of imperialism silna鈥檚 responsibility, or else made him a perfect model of anti-imperialist sentiment from the beginning, and i really am impressed and appreciate how they did not do this and were much more nuanced

oh ok i see so basically this is one of the best shows to come out of the last ten years. got it.
Ok i will watch the terror
#I. am feeling so many emotions right now#andi think the strongest is like#this is a show made of compassion. compassion for those men that died. compassion for the inuit people affected by colonisation.#it's a story about love and inevitability and odds that will never be conquered it's about the poison of imperialism and how#the kindest heart still is eaten away by that poison. it's about the difference between wanting to understand something#and wanting to conquer it#it's about tenderness and how it exists in the most hostile places. it's about what people can do at their worst and how they dont need#to be at their worst to do their worst#it's about sacrifice#both the willing kind and the kind that imperialism makes for its own benefit#but most of all i think it's a tribute. it's about saying we remember you. and we are telling your story. warts and all.#because we want to remember you as you were. not as an idealized fantasy but as the people you were.

Referring to my tags- what's that post that goes like. The love was there. It didn't change anything. But it was there. Bc that's these two
Goodsir and lady silence really are the stars of the show arent they
#i do think they cared for each other a lot. goodsir obviously was infatuated and lady silence trusted him enough to comfort him#which i think is an important detail bc i feel that compassion does often come with a measure of trust even at its most pure and selfless#does that make sense?#chatterin'

Goodsir and lady silence really are the stars of the show arent they
#its not even abt like tragic this or tragic that its about like#theres a fundamental incompatibility bc of the fact that goodsir and his company are responsible for so much heartache for lady silence#i dont think she holds it against him. i think she cares about him too. but theres just like. his idea of the world- even tho he has#the gentlest heart and the kindest soul is still one deeply affected by british imperialism and the colonizer mindset#in maybe another time or a kinder story they could have their ending together. but they can't. bc it's 1848 and neither of them are safe#least of all silence#chatterin'#the terror

[Nodding] i see i see its abt an act of pure human compassion for the only person she seems to actually trust i understand [breaks off into sobbing]
#i may be ill#THIS IS SO TERRIBLE FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE#stay with us. stay with me.#he doesnt understand but how could he? hes a compassionate heart thats still being crushed under the boot of the empire he believes in#all he knows is that he cares about her. and that he believes theres still good out there.#chatterin'#the terror

Collins' monolog abt his reaction to the smell of his friends burning alive...... oh my god
#oh my GOD.#i cant even do a proper analysis i jist. this series makes me feel some type of way#i think. a rewatch. is in order#onc3 ive finished it i mean. so i can really pick it apart#anyway this scene just. it got to me bc it encapsulates i think the horror of everything so well#the exhaustion. the mental health issues. the hunger. the fear. the loss. everything abt it is so...#chatterin'#the terror
