THE TERROR ▸ 1.09 the c, the c, the open c

Video
youtube
I named my blog after this wonderful video and I can’t recommend enough that you all watch it. I was going to paraphrase the part I found most affecting - the heretofore unknown heart-rending layers of meaning and history behind Peglar, Bridgens, Xenophon, and the Open C. Feeling that I couldn’t myself do the ideas justice, however, I’ve instead quoted the video directly below:
“Not only does this new choice of poetic quotation link Bridgens’ unwillingness to live after the death of one he so loved with the discourse of Peglar’s sexuality, but it also highlights a complex historical intertext between Barry Cornwall’s poem, Peglar’s adaptation, and - to jump back two thousand years - Xenophon’s The March of the Ten Thousand, or, the Anabasis. The first line of Cornwall’s lyrics (and Peglar’s) is ‘The sea, the sea’ which, in the nineteenth century, was a famous line of schoolboy Greek: ‘Thalassa! Thalassa!’ shouted in triumph by Xenophon and his fellow Greek soldiers after a deadly overland march.” 
“During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Anabasis became a popular teaching text for ancient Greek, and this refrain, ‘Thalassa! Thalassa!’ found its way into the common language of Victorian exploratory heroics, part of an imperial cultural context routinely invoked by The Terror through the shared literary games of Bridgens and Peglar.”
“In an earlier episode, the show’s Bridgens had used the Anabasis to warn Peglar of the gruelling march that was then to come; here, at the end of their journey together, the echo of ‘The C, the C’ pulls together the concepts of Greek love, nineteenth century education, desire for sexual freedom and expression, and the queer archaeology of loss and fragmentation as this Bridgens carries his lover’s papers to their final resting place, out of life and into legend, preserving, with his body, this only private record of the Franklin disaster.”

April 8, 2024: As If to Demonstrate an Eclipse, Billy Collins
As If to Demonstrate an Eclipse Billy Collins
I pick an orange from a wicker basket and place it on the table to represent the sun. Then down at the other end a blue and white marble becomes the earth and nearby I lay the little moon of an aspirin.
I get a glass from a cabinet, open a bottle of wine, then I sit in a ladder-back chair, a benevolent god presiding over a miniature creation myth,
and I begin to sing a homemade canticle of thanks for this perfect little arrangement, for not making the earth too hot or cold not making it spin too fast or slow
so that the grove of orange trees and the owl become possible, not to mention the rolling wave, the play of clouds, geese in flight, and the Z of lightning on a dark lake.
Then I fill my glass again and give thanks for the trout, the oak, and the yellow feather,
singing the room full of shadows, as sun and earth and moon circle one another in their impeccable orbits and I get more and more cockeyed with gratitude.

Also: Seeing the Eclipse in Maine, Robert Bly

For that ask game: all of these numbers for The Terror. All of them. Both of us are gonna chose violence today lol
Oh LORD I cannot answer all of them. Let's PICK SOME PROBLEMS.
1. The character everyone gets wrong.
Do you know who writes me satisfying Des Voeux? Almost nobody.
3. Screenshot of the worst take.
I don't actually keep screenshots, but just know that I respect approx 2% of Hodge takes.
7. What character did you begin to hate not because of Canon but how the fandom acts about them?
Fitzjames. I will not elaborate.
8. Common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about.
People are obsessed with stripping Edward Little of his competency. He'd have been an incredible officer, were circumstances even slightly less extraordinary. He makes the wrong calls at times yes, but he is never incompetent and what he does makes logical sense to the end.
9. Worst part of Canon.
Jopson promotion scene.
11. Number of fandom related words you've filtered.
Four or five, but they're all relating to Kevin Guthrie/Peglar because fuck that guy.
13. Worst blorboification.
Also Fitzjames.
22. Favourite part of Canon you think everyone ignores.
All of Silna's actual characterisation in favour of her being girlboss... its infuriating, how one dimensional she still ends up
24. Topic that brings up the most rancid discourse.
Hey did I ever mention that The Terror is an adaptation of Dan Simmons' novel and not a documentary about the Franklin Expedition?
