The Cow-story Scene! I'm Wondering, Given That (real) Jopson Was Lashed Early In His Career (was Show

On my Terror rewatch and Jirv is just so happy when he meets Koveyook & companions. So grateful. I feel like it's the purest emotion we see from him. Also, I didn't notice before that while it's Hodge who meets original Mr Hickey, it's Irving who meets imposter-Hickey! I wonder how much a role Jirv's evangelicalism/non-conformist Christianity made him accept impostor-Hickey at face value even though he's clearly sus af. That born-again instinct to accept people wanting a 'fresh start'. I think it makes the betrayal (that it's specifically Irving gets murdered by impostor-Hickey) more poignant than if it were one of the other Lieuts.

Just in love with Trystan Gravelle here - the completely unexpected (though I might have expected it in that I did know he was Welsh) accent here! I thought he'd sound like Henry Collins but he sounds fresh off the set of Gavin and Stacy!

I knew *someone* had ribbed-top fingerless gloves!! Our favourite boy who FUCKS, but more importantly, who CARES, Solomon Tozer!

Terror rewatch: ep 2. Can't stop thinking about the scene where (fake) Hickey's caulking the captain's seat of ease then he & Crozier have a drink. I think he gives himself away *twice*. Firstly he uses a slur (or at least, a rude word) for Irish *catholics* about himself & by extension Crozier. Yes, Crozier was Irish & suffered prejudice from that, but he was Church of Ireland/Protestant! Unsure if (real) Hickey was Catholic or not, but being from Limerick, he certainly wouldn't use that word of himself (slur reclamation wasn't a thing yet, yo!). Secondly, when they toast -- Hickey's clearly never heard of/is unsure of why Crozier toasts "Ourselves, then" (as, he later says, a bad joke). It's because of this (screenshot from wiki attached)

The Royal Navy do seated toasts every day at wardroom dinners -- Crozier asks what day it is, it's Wednesday, then says "Ourselves, then" because that's Wednesday's toast! Hickey (though not an officer) should be familiar with this already, but he's *not* - because he's an impostor! I think Crozier's suspicious of him from this point on, because of both these reveals, but is too depressed/alcoholic/distracted to actually *do* anything about it.

Will never not giggle at Nedward's "happy birthday :)"

Do you think he ever forgave himself for asking Franklin to stay during the hunt for Tuunbaq?

too many frozen boys!
