I'm really enjoying how the different characters show unique approaches to leadership especially when things are going south.

This mask resembles evil mountain-dwelling tuunraq spirits that pursued and devoured hunters. The creatures have twisted faces, asymmetrical eyes, and mouths that are red or splattered with blood. Shamans employed tuunrat as helping spirits and made masks to represent them.

The Chad Ice Master vs. the Virgin Tuunbaq was hilarious. Also Tuunbaq gets rejected by Lady Silence despite bringing gifts.

I think the show was a good example of how not showing the creature is often the better approach since it ended up looking goofy especially when getting clowned on by the Chad Ice master.

A good spin off would be to do the "Man who ate his boots" story for Franklin's earlier disaster expedition on mainland Canada.

wormil posted:I would have to said to hell with the boats and booked it south. Of course if the south side of the island is as barren as the center, they would be hosed but they are already hosed so there isn't much to lose. At least you might be able to fish or hunt seal. 20/20 hindsight and they were navy men, not survivalists. Even still, I can't understand why they sat around eating contaminated food knowing it would only make them more feeble. King William island tends to be really inhospitable and doesn't attract much wildlife. The whole heading south plan was pretty quixotic given the shear distance of the march and also how the whole crew was already physically ground down by two winters.

Rardge Rardge posted:Yeah, after reading Batavia's Graveyard I gotta say Hickey's mutiny seemed pretty tame. In terms of heretical sea weasels, Jeronimus Cornelisz is unsurpassed. That would make a awesome series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeronimus_Cornelisz Apparently Russel Crowe's production company secured rights to make a film based on the book Island of Angry Ghosts but the film is still in development hell. etalian fucked around with this message at 15:14 on May 26, 2018 |

a mysterious cloak posted:Really! I had no idea. I'm assuming he's based on the Batavia guy? I think I found some new reading to do! The book owns: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FC1GTC/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 It was pretty much the closest think you had to a real work Hickey getting away with succesful mutiny and also setting up his own personal murderous kingdom. The book also goes into modern research archeology which collected evident to support all the various primary sources from the Batavia horror story.

Jikes posted:A lot of changes were made between the book and series, almost always for the better. The screenwriters did an outstanding job of adapting the book and I think they improved on the source material, which is pretty rare. Well lots of more recent series like The Expanse had the authors said they enjoyed being involved in a TV adaption since it allowed them to tweak or correct weaker aspects of the source material.

Professor Shark posted:Yeah, him dying with his last thoughts being that despite all his service and loyalty, Crozier had abandoned him, when we know (and the book stresses this even more iirc) that Crozier's primary concern is his men makes it extra painful It's also a kick in the nuts given how his promotion was a optimistic "There is a man in this room who has earned a place at the table" scene but then he basically gets abandoned to die alone. Joplin also took care of Crozier when Crozier was going cold turkey for his booze addiction.
