The scene in The Terror Episode 2 where the last lead party returns (sans Lieut. Gore, plus Silna & her father) and Franklin goes "where's Graham?" When they're still like, 200 metres away makes more sense when you know that the actual Graham Gore, this guy
Was an ABSOLUTE UNIT of a man. Above six-foot in height and broad-built with it too. The actor Tom Weston-Jones, who is lovely and does his best with a limited role, is 6' scratch and just doesn't have the sheer size of the man.
(from a tumblr post of how to pick which one is Gore - he's hat-pompom-guy).
I don't think they changed the script to reflect that it would be hard for Franklin to see that Gore isn't there (given the actor is regular sized) versus it being easy to tell he's not there (the real man was an absolute unit!).
I wish they'd found a big fella to play Graham, rip big sexy, I just love a unit of man in a uniform <3

Terror rewatch, ep 1: just noticed it was Collins (as second master) who *sent* Billy Orren up top - specifically to teach another AB his knots! And it's Lieut. Le Visconte (aka Dundy) who won't let Collins try to save Orren after he falls -- notably, it's Collins who knows Orren's name and not Dundy -- perhaps presaging the Lieutenant's callousness about the men later?
Some people say that there are no stupid questions, which is blatantly false. Of course there are stupid questions, and if you have one, you had better ask it, before you go and do make a stupider mistake. Stupid questions are more important than intelligent ones. I’m willing to bet more people die because of stupid mistakes than because of intelligent ones.
My partner just suggested he's the dolorous Edd of The Terror, and yes, Collins kind of is, but also no. Edd's dolorous, but he's realistic, he knows his world's shit, he's frustrated that other people seem to expect his world not to be shit, he's come to terms with his shit world & expects nothing else. Edd, in a weird way, is healthy in his dolor. Where Henry Collins is *suffering* , poor fella. Both of them brought to life by incredible actors though!
my favorite part about henry collins is that he would be having a bad time in every timeline. he's your coworker that's always fighting battles. he's hitting his bong on his smoke break and having a panic attack on shift. he gets in fights w squirrels he doesn't start and does lose. you would have LOVED ssris and weed induced psychosis ‼️‼️‼️
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!
Sir, yes sir
