Kinda darkly hilarious to me that Stanley knew he was gonna go burn down Carnivale and himself with it but still took the time to paint his face and put on the clown outfit. “Like damn my life has genuinely never been worse….but I promised the boys.” Meanwhile Goodsir can’t be bothered to even attempt. Too busy crashing out. Gotta admire Stanley’s priorities and ability to lock in for the boys even when he’s about to attempt to murder them. (Success rate 2.5/4, since he’s technically only half responsible for McDonald’s death)

Terror re-rewatch, episode 1. Really struck this time round by the contrast in 'manner' between Mr Goodsir (I'm using the mister here for a reason) and Dr Stanley. The historical men had different training (hence Mr - a designation of someone *without* a degree in medicine vs Dr) but also vastly different *experiences*. Dr Stanley was a war surgeon (after his training as a doctor), and per history as well as in Fitzjames' own story in the show, he served in a combat theatre, being the one who saved Fitzjames' life after the Chinese sniper wound. I think that really informs the clever choice they made to cast such an austere looking fella as Alistair Petrie and how he acts -- this is a character that's seen *a lot* of death, and has a requisite coldness about it when David Young is dying. It really contrasts him to Goodsir, who trained as an anatomist and doesn't have a medical degree (and this is his first voyage/service as a surgeon) - how much death has Goodsir actually seen? How much does that inform how 'clumsy but caring' he acts with David Young? So interesting.

THE TERROR ▸ mr. goodsir // dr. goodsir

I have fantasies about Dr Stanley dominating me. I'd definitely let him cut two toes off just to be in his presence. Also trying to find other shows the actor is in where he plays characters like Stanley. His character in Sex Education was good. Need more strict stern Stanley in my life
