Relationships in The Terror (2018) I think would have been fun to see explored onscreen if they'd had more than 10 episodes:

Gibson & Jopson (You and the coworker at your customer service job who is objectively annoying but also the only other gay person on staff, so I guess you're friends now)

Bridgens & Goodsir (I know you're not a proper doctor but I see that you are trying and you are full of so so so much love and care and we are the same in that way)

Peglar & Hickey (Hickey sees this friendly doe-eyed gayboy and assumes he'll be an easy mark, Peglar gently informs him that his husband is over on Erebus and he's not interested in mutiny, thank you very much)

Bridgens & Fitzjames (Fun fact: a steward can also be a father figure if your abandonment issues are bad enough!)

Jopson & Little (Joplittle girlies I am trying to understand your culture but this is one of the most Men Standing Beside Each Other ships I have ever seen)

Hickey & Darlington (I just want one scene where it's established that Hickey is kinda shit at his job and his boss hates him)

Fitzjames & Le Vesconte (I know they technically interact but c'mon I need more Dundy in my life)

Gibson & Hodgson (Okay this one I'm actually insane about. Hodgson who likes to think of himself as chill and friendly with the lower ranks vs Billy who wants this guy to shut up so he can do his job. Someone on Discord compared it to when customer service jobs make you wear a name tag - customers try to be friendly and address you by name, but it just feels jarring and a bit violating because of the inherent power differential. And then when their dynamic is swapped, when Billy is the Lieutenant to Hickey's Captain and Hodgson is a decorative piece of meat? Bro. And, like, Hodson ate the flesh of this man who had made his bed and shaved his face for the past 3 years. Did that affect him differently than if it had been a random AB? I'm losing my mind over here.)

Armitage & Tozer (he wants that Marine cock sooooooo bad god bless)

I have tried for years to discover something, anything, about this card with no success.

The way the arctic strips them of all pretences! And intimacy suddenly is there, and so is sweetness, affection, pure unfiltered humankind at its finest.

I love how the men in The Terror never shy away from their own feelings, from human contact, from simple gestures that show how much at ease they have become with each other.

It’s too bad they must all die a horrible death, because they all grow so much while going through this ordeal ❤️

you: wow this is an incredible scene, both of them are acting their socks off, tobias’ face? jared’s eyes? what a gift to television me, an intellectual: INDIRECT KISS!

the terror episode 10 we are gone boat scene. truly the nightmare scene of all time. hickey in his underwear on top of the boat giving true deranged energy. feral tozer screaming LET ME OFF THIS CHAIN. CORNELIUS. hodge squatting and mumbling in french with a thousand-yard stare. "i detect a double meaning there". armitage looking as if a shepherd has emerged from the bible and been given a gun. pilkington suggesting opening up a business selling coats out of my girl tuunbaq. manson throwing up. "a man called cornelius hickey told me this expedition was a year in the polar sea." the definitive hickey-tozer breakup. crozier witnessing it all quietly like this isn't the worst day he's had at his job, "you could have just joined up". hickey singing the national anthem off-key and a few hesitant voices joining. "bugger victoria! bugger nelson! bugger jesus! bugger joseph and mary! bugger the archbishop of canterbury!" tozer shouting out orders to fight against tuunbaq despite it all, "tommy, give me your gun. i'm the best shot here!" hickey cutting out his tongue. tuunbaq eating them all. this is exactly what it feels like to get piss drunk with your friends and walk back home through an empty parking lot at 5am.
