The Terror (AMC)

[Southpaw]

Well it has reached its conclusion. 10 episodes.Wished I hadn't watched it, but every episode ended with a cliff hanger.

"In 1848, two real life warships, HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, sent on a Royal Naval expedition to find the treacherous Northwest Passage become trapped in ice near Arctic and face starvation, mutiny, cannibalism and a demonic polar bear."

Why do you wish you hadn't seen it? I haven't yet, but I have been interested.

Too many characters to follow. Rambling dialogue. Gore for gore's sake.

I found it magnificent.

Not one for the slow burn shows?

I gave up after episode 3...too monotone.

Poison. When it ate the bad guys that had gotten poisoned, it too was poisoned, which finished it off.

Oh. I was trying to figure what the chain had to do with it.

That was just him getting dragged in but living because it couldn't quite get to him in time.

Okay, as much as I loved this, today I found out that...there's a season 2 on the horizon! I'm like, WTF, how is this even possible? Well, let's be clear--it is absolutely NOT season 2 of The Terror; it is a shameless attempt to use the NAME of the show to promote a 100 percent completely different show. What's it going to be about? It's going to be set during World War II and center on 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. Tell me again how that fricking relates to the ship the Terror? Oh, wait, IT IN NO WAY RELATES!!!

This is a disgusting attempt to trade on the name of a popular show, and nothing more. Maybe I'd have checked it out otherwise, but I certainly will not be now.

Never watched Season 1. Started in on Season 2 which apparently a totally different show. Enjoying it so far.

 

[Stout]

Is it set on a sailing vessel? Then I'm not interested. What's in a name? A lot, considering the difference in the show.

So, what it really means is they're going to use the skin of the name "The Terror" to make yet another completely unrelated show?
