I think I caught that sound change too! Also, in the final two episodes, even the wind and the rocks sound a bit different! Not to dox myself, but I've spent time in very windswept 'barren' places (southern hemisphere, and sand & small shrubs, rather than rocks) and there's different 'tones' the wind makes at certain times that give the creepy creepy feels. I think they used the 'creepy creepy' wind not the normal wind more in the last two episodes! And they changed the tent flapping a bit too (probably because the tents were getting worn out).
I just have to shout out the sound designers on the Terror. On my rewatch (from 'Horrible from Supper' onwards), I'm really noticing how straight up disturbing the sounds are for some pivotal scenes. The Jirv murder with the off-key song, Jopson's crawling scene (I'm sure there are more but these two spring most immediately). Does anyone know if they used infrasound or some other low-frequency effects? I swear I'm getting the heebie-jeebies from the sounds alone!
Just in love with Trystan Gravelle here - the completely unexpected (though I might have expected it in that I did know he was Welsh) accent here! I thought he'd sound like Henry Collins but he sounds fresh off the set of Gavin and Stacy!
Been making these little elephants
Decided they're going to be named for Franklin Expedition Personnel.
From top: Graham Gore, John Bridgens, Henry Dundas Le Vesconte (because he's lemony), William Pilkington.
This one is William Orren, of course. (added info in comments)
too many frozen boys!
fungible should mean you can turn it into a mushroom
Proof Harry D.S. Goodsir wasn't a doctor *yet* -- readable handwriting!
Obsessed with how in the Erebus muster book all of the officer’s signature are super fancy and neat and then you have Goodsir…
Bless his little heart
You're 100% spot on here - Sumner's an addict written by someone who's never used! And very interesting take on recovery also!
So I need to babble about a contrast I noticed between two 'cold boys in boats' shows: The Terror and The North Water. So, in The North Water, Jack O'Connell is wonderful as ship's surgeon Patrick Sumner.
But, and this is a regretful but, a decision made by his character/the show's writers just straight up *busted* the show for me. He's supposedly (due to complex backstory reasons) addicted to laudanum/opium. Yet, in the third ep, he apparently decides to send *his whole supply* off with someone else, to somewhere else, and, it being the heckin' arctic, therefore loses it. I remember straight-up pausing the show to go rant to my partner "Is it this bitch's first day as a drug addict? He didn't even keep *any* on his person at all times? Come the heck on!"
Where in The Terror, after three years stuck in ice, this absolute madlad, Mr Blanky, still has his tobacco for his last smoke, on his person, at all times:
And gleefully takes it while waiting for the monsterbear to kill him. *That's* a sailor with an addiction I can believe in!
