I would never have suspected that reviews of horse-on-bird action would eventually lead to my genuine interest in the story of the Franklin Expedition.
Thank you for instigating and continuing to fuel my obsession with the Franklin expedition. Who'd have thought learning about a bunch of Victorian dudes who died horrible deaths in the arctic would provide so many hours of enjoyment!
I am there now. waiting all winter to read the book in the snow. totally obse4ssed now. didn't even "spoil" the book with IRL stuff until I finished it...got chills when I saw the underwater Terror wreckage footage.
I'm so absolutely fascinated by the Franklin expedition and have fallen in love with the terror so I’m really excited to listen to you analyze the episodes since you are well versed in the topic unlike all the other creators who just repeat the same basic facts
This is great! I read the Terror years ago and have just finished the series. I love the mystery of the Franklin expedition and your coverage is detailed and well thought out. Thank you
Thanks again for your ongoing videos about the Franklin Expedition and this series. Your attention to detail makes this history buff so happy. Coincidentally, my house was scouted for The Terror II, which is about "an uncanny specter that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific." I'm going to go ahead and guess that didn't happen, but it will be interesting to see what these producers make of it.
I'm not a fan of that turn the show would take. I would've preferred if they focused on those searching for the Franklin and their failed attempts to locate them.
I do not mind the fact that the actors have different hair than the real ppl. The actors themselves do not resemble the real ppl very much anyway. The hair and makeup ppl did a great job making the actors look like ppl who have been stranded for three years (the dirt and grease and unshaven faces etc) and that makes them realistic
Very well done, please keep up with the reviews of this series. I love hearing the in depth opinions and facts from you. I look forward for more and I am looking forward to season two of "The Terror".
Hey they had Ciaran Hinds play Gaius Julius Caesar, one of the best known bald man in the world. Ain't nobody gonna take that fabulous hair from Hinds.
The play depicting Ross and Crozier didn't happen exactly like that but there was a play put on for Ross and Crozier upon their return to Tasmania after their historic voyage to Antarctica. They were less than enthusiastic about going as they'd just returned from almost dying in Antarctica and the Franklins told them not to attend because the theatre area was incredibly seedy. Also, the play turned out to be terrible.
You know, after all these years I can’t believe you still make content. Can’t remember when I first saw your Chirpy review... Always love seeing content from you, Mistress.
I binge watched the entire series, but I had heard about this expedition before then. Along with Scott's failed expedition to the Antarctic. Very tragic parallels on both sides. Crazy to think that over 200 men slowly dies while out on the ice for at least two years. All promising and well established men.
Hail Hagan, thanks for getting me into all the Franklin expedition stuff! I just stumbled upon Michael Palin's "Erebus" which is really amazing. Probably wouldn't have picked it up if I hadn't seen your stuff before.
It's not 3 roentgen, its 15000. Seriously though congrats on Captain Francis Crozier for becoming a nuclear scientist and saving us from catastrophic effects from further Chernobyl fallout.
I don't know - I think story wise they would still be name dropping the Tuunbaq as the Inuit in the show are pissed off, impressed, and relieved all at the same time that the Franklin expedition actually killed the Tuunbaq. And he does tell them 'Tell them we are gone - dead, and gone.'
This is the first of your videos that I've seen, and I think it is very good! I am fascinated by people's accents; picking up on patterns, identifying typical cadence and pitch changes, word choices, and regional sounds and idioms is something I am constantly doing. I can't turn it off. (Fake accents in movies always have inconsistencies that drive me nuts, like alternating between using a hard vs soft sound to pronounce the same part of a word word back to back, etc..) but that's a different story.) Anyway, I cannot figure out your accent for the life of me. I keep hearing traces of different regional patterns, followed by unexpected pronounciations that don't fit with my predictions. I'm going to watch the next video in this series and see what I can narrow down, but you're a real challenge. :)
An ancestor of mine was part of the first attempted rescue under-I believe-John Rae. I don't know anything about his experience of it, but apparently they left provisions in the hope that any survivors might find them.
youtube ate my first comment, so no source link in this one. 13:00 In an earlier draft of the pilot screenplay, Crozier pushes for Franklin to bury Young on land so that he (Crozier) can leave a message cylinder in the coffin. Franklin (in the draft) has been refusing to leave messages, because he's so obsessed with saving his reputation by finding the Northwest Passage that he's refusing to share any of their new information about the Arctic sea and coastline, in case it could help some other expedition beat him to it. (Especially John Ross. The man is living rent free in AMC John Franklin's head, he's sooo insecure.)
Out of curiosity, are there plans for historical content beyond the Polar Exploration series? It is terrific, and I would genuinely like to see more of it.
Wait wait, when you said "Literal steam trains" powering the ship, do you mean just a steam engine, or did they lift a boiler from an actual steam locomotive to use as part of it?
Literal was-once-on-a-track-taking-people-to-places steam train. At least one historian has looked at where the officers lived and worked out that at least one of them probably used the train a few times before it was reassigned to the navy.
@@DiamandaHagan both of the adapted steam locomotives where mentioned in a Magazine called the steam railway Magazine and where under powered for their new job, both of the engines carried names which i don't remember.
Has anyone read The Abominable by Dan Simmons? I’m curious to try it after enjoying The Terror but it kind of sounds like The Terror w/ a Yeti instead of the Tuunbaq and on Everest instead of the Arctic. I’d be interested in people’s opinions before I decide to buy it.
dude you sound like a southern bell from america to an english man from england to a irish man..... very confusing and hard to pull off. you. ,my good sir are a global man and i applaud you, my freeeeeeind
Thank you for these!!! Info want to point out that Goodsir (❤️) doesn't actually cut once, but does flap to the upper left. I did find it strange that he didn't flap both sides though! I love this video and am now going to binge the rest!
I think we ought to cut them slack on the hair and appearance, since none of these men are well known today - it's not like, well, Freddy Mercury. They get so much detail right otherwise, as you also point out. Also re: Sir James Ross's age: The actor portraying him (Richard Sutton) actually is rather close in age - he's 40 years old, and Ross in 1845 was 45. Of course, spending four years in the Antarctic might have aged Ross prematurely - I'm not clear on when the portrait of him with gray hair was painted. Sutton admittedly is a somewhat young looking 40.
@@DiamandaHagan OTOH, Hinds and Harris are considerably older than Franklin and Crozier were, oddly... It might just be that the showrunners thought that audiences today would find it hard to buy a bunch of grey or white haired guys as intrepid polar explorers.
I would never have suspected that reviews of horse-on-bird action would eventually lead to my genuine interest in the story of the Franklin Expedition.
HA!
Sten Nadolny: discovery of slowness
I love the actor that plays crozier
Me too! I'd never even heard of Jared Harris before. Now I want to watch everything he's acted in.
Jared Harris is such a good, incredibly underrated actor. His portrayal of Moriarty in the second RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie is my favorite.
@@harrysecombegroupie He's the son of the great Irish actor Richard Harris - it runs in the family.
Yeah, I was like WHEREH HAS HE BEEN ALL MY LIFE!.
He was also In HBO Chernobyl, great actor

Just finished watching the show. I'm just gonna go cry over a seal hole for a bit.
YES!!!! I’m so stoked for these reviews! It’s going to make me want to watch the show all over again.
This is great! I read the Terror years ago and have just finished the series. I love the mystery of the Franklin expedition and your coverage is detailed and well thought out. Thank you

Well it did happen and its apparently not as good
@@ConnorNotyerbidness I meant the "uncanny specter" in an internment camp, not the series, Connor. :D
@@floraposteschild4184 and all i meant was "they made a season 2 and it wasnt as good",
So in depth and so interesting to listen to. Thank you for the time you put into creating this, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it.
Thanks! I need to get ep10 finished heh.
I have read about the real Francis Crozier, he was a hell of a seaman, ships captain and friend to Mr. Ross...
Please, please, please make the rest of The Terror (show, book and history) episode videos. Your work is exceptionally well-done!
Oh boy!
I've psyched about this since watching your videos on the expedition.
I can hardly wait for the next vid.
Yay, I’ve been waiting for this! The Terror was my favorite new show this year and I loved your other videos on the Franklin Expedition.
So going to watch this over and over again
I do not mind the fact that the actors have different hair than the real ppl. The actors themselves do not resemble the real ppl very much anyway. The hair and makeup ppl did a great job making the actors look like ppl who have been stranded for three years (the dirt and grease and unshaven faces etc) and that makes them realistic

You got me hooked on the franklin expedition!
I love that you are doing this series. I'm a bit of a history buff myself and love seeing this different side of you and your interests. Well done!

Someone else DOES listen to them.
Thank you Mistress.

Your work is consistently excellent, thanks for this.
Thank you very much for the kind words. These are excellent reviews. Well done!
Incredible work, as always, Mistriss. I love most of your videos, but this and your "The Race for the Poles" are by far my favorites.
You know, after all these years I can’t believe you still make content. Can’t remember when I first saw your Chirpy review... Always love seeing content from you, Mistress.
I pigheadedly do my own thing and am ever-surprised that some people like it :)
DiamandaHagan I’ve been watching from the start and I still love your content 🖤
I have been obsessed with this failed expedition!

It's a really good book, so glad you found it!
I have a new history video coming, tho its different from my usual stuff. A bit.
certainly looking forward to future videos, fascinating!
This is really really good. Thank you.
I loved this show so much.

:) I have a weird accent and I dunno where it came from, I have 2 siblings with the same accent and a 3rd without it.

I mean it was the most advanced expedition of the time so most likely they had a diving suit
One of the best dramas I've watched 10/10 for me
yay! best review for Terror.

but we know they buried david young regardless, as his corpse was found
these epsiods on the terror is your best work its the balls
YAY!!!!!!! I’ve been waiting for this
In next 9 eps are sure to go to some interesting places.
Why they didnt try to catch fish under sea ice
Thanks for the video
They're dead, Dave. Everybody. Everybody. Is. Dead. Dave!
Wait are telling me everybody's dead?
Tobias Menzies might be my favorite actor... He is always different and only in great projects. Plus he's soooo sexy
Out of curiosity, are there plans for historical content beyond the Polar Exploration series? It is terrific, and I would genuinely like to see more of it.
I have a few video ideas in that vein :)

The pic of old Ross was done after 1845, 1850 at least but his hair had gone grey and he'd visibly aged when in the Antarctic.
