Turn me on to phantoms

Idk how you think $20 is all that expensive. It might be overpriced compared to Amazon or something but it'd probably still get the job done.

Cuz gotta clean it and all. Just seems a pain. I even have an electrical kettle that I wanna use but still haven't cleaned yet, so yeah. Where did you get your French press?

 

[xi0]

It's easy as fuck to clean... plus, way better than drip machines that you can never fully clean properly. What's the point of an electric kettle if you can't brew anything? I got mine on amazon.

 

[M3J]

I don't use any drip machine, bought one on Amazon but then I canceled the order.

Well, I'm not sure how we got it, probably was a gift.

Yeah, was 80 minutes too. I watched it last night on mine. AMC has AMC Premiere now, so we have to wait a day or some shit to watch their shows on demand unless we pay. If you have AMC Premier you could have watched the entire season at once though, sort of like Netflix.

You're two episodes behind then. There's only one episode left now.

 

[gnut]

Damn....
So thats it for the story?

As far as something rooted in history, I guess. But we won't really know until the last episode. Obviously a large part of it was fictionalized, what with the "Tuunbaq" or whatever the fuck they call it. But the show is based more on the book rather than what we know about the Franklin expedition (after a certain point it's all Inuit hearsay. The wrecks of the Erebus and Terror weren't even found until 2014). And the book's ending is pretty fucking weird, lol. So there could be a second season, but I wouldn't expect one.

The captain sitting out in the ice with that Inuit?
Was that Silna?
Because it looked like a child to me...i even rewinded it to look again.
I dont understand it.

No, it was a child.

He was hunting seals. That's why he was just sat there still, sitting over one of their breathing holes. A bit of an artistic shot, but if you think back - Goodsir suggested to Crozier that they stop eating the food from the tins and hunt seals instead, and Crozier tells him it takes years to learn how to hunt them properly. The final shot is him doing so, implying he had assimilated totally to their way of life. Him looking after a child that probably isn't his is another example.

Ok...now that makes sense.
That convo must have happened in the first 7epis...cause i forgot about it.
But in my defense a month has passed since i seen those xD

It was in episode 7 iirc. No, I sort of looked into it online as well, as I forgot that comment too. I could tell he was seal hunting though, but the significance was somewhat lost on me in the moment. I got the book from Amazon not long ago and intend to read it. Apparently the ending is rather different/expanded and has a much more substantial epilogue. Sort of explaining the mythology behind the Tuunbaq and stuff.

 

[gnut]

Yes,the most disappointing thing about it was no info on what the Tuunbaq was.
I wish they would've put more perspective on Silna instead of Collins and Doc Homo for example.

I know you didn't roast my boi Goodsir like that... he was getting it in with Silna cmon. Dude went out like a G too... fuck you greg.

There was some info about Tuunbaq, some implied stuff. But yeah, there's more of it in the book.

 

[gnut]

Nah haha....Goodsir was a fukan man!!!
The other dude that was obsessed with that kid and walked out into the abyss and laid down...like wtf
And collins....what a waste of screen time xD

Was that a homo thing? At first I thought maybe he was his son or something. Found it kind of odd if it was, considering how afraid Hickey and Gibson were of Lt. Irving finding out about them.

Collins was there to show the worst of the lead poisoning on the mind. Plus, the scene with him underwater was fucking creepy and awesome.
