ask me about the cursed skull

i've been making my friend, who has no knowledge of polar history, watch the terror with me. here are some of their thoughts and predictions thus far:

their favorite characters are crozier, blanky, and hickey.

they (honestly both of us) are obsessed with how smooth and luscious hickey's hair is. why is he serving

before the tuunbaq appeared, they were convinced that they would be attacked by a "big fish"

they believed the most popular ships would be jopzier (i had to explain that while it was popular, they were severely biased by me), blanky/crozier, and hickeygibs

they connected the name aglooka between the opening scene and the scene where crozier tells silna it's his inuktitut name

they call fitzjimmy "the adam driver looking guy" which absolutely fries me. they also despised him at the beginning and called him and franklin "the villains"

before franklin's death, their prediction was that hickey would be in the mutiny party with crozier, which like, holy shit.

during the scene where blanky is on the yardarm fighting the tuunbaq, they thought he "would die and take the bear with him." while this did not happen, i literally went insane.

after episode 5, i asked them to predict fates

crozier: dies

fitzjames: lives

hickey: lives

goodsir: dies

silna: lives
