This is... about bed frames.

In the first half of the show, the Captain's beds on Terror and Erebus have this gate type of frame. Since both ships were actually the same replica ship being filmed on, it makes sense that the bed would be the same model. No problems here.

But in Episode 6, the frame is changed to this wavy design for Crozier's detox scene.

From a composition point of view, it makes a lot of sense to use this instead of the gate - it makes it far easier to film close-ups of Crozier as he is laying down. So maybe they realized that the initial set-up would hinder them for the kinds of shots they wanted to use and changed the set accordingly. That would make sense!

Except!

In Episode 7 we go right back to the gate! And mind you, Episodes 6 and 7 were filmed months apart, in different filming blocks!

What happened here?! As demonstrated before, they did not have two types of bed lying around for this - they used the same one for Terror and Erebus after all. So this isn't a matter of them just swapping equipment they already had back and forth!

This is them changing the hardwood set for one episode and then changing it back for one singular shot that lasts only half a minute!

I gave Earthspark a second chance this weekend and well...☺️
