The Adventures of the Dreamship Error
or the Traumschiff Surprise x The Terror mashup I felt like we all needed in these tiring times
translation under the cut
Francis: did your bring your passport?
James: of course
Francis: closed the windows?
James: yes, I even closed the blinds!
Francis: oh for the love of god, stop closing the blinds all the time, that way everyone immediately knows we're not home!
*
Francis: he isn’t even a pureblooded Vulcanette
James: am too!
Francis: nooo you’re a mongrel dog!
James: gasping
*
Francis: there is something, that you still need to know
James: what is it?
Francis: I’m… an absolute loser in bed
James: Francis! Me too!
*
Off screen: oh! Someone laid down on the floor!
Francis: yes. That is John
*
Francis: Ow! Schrotty are you insane!
James: mutiny! 
Francis: Do that one more time and you’ll be sleeping in a single bedroom in Honolulu!
James: absolutely, ey
*
James: Pulle (Bones) was right. I’m simply too fat!
*
Hickey: Captain?
James: careful, don’t get too close
Hickey: the measuring of the automatic control system shows a certain smooth factor. They’re using strong vibrating modulations to push through to us. 
Francis: and… so?
Hickey: should I let them penetrate, Captain?!
James: gasping
*
Francis: And what are you supposed to be? 
James: I’m the Captain 
Francis: pft, you just fucked your way to the top
James: so? What’sthe issue with that?
*
 Sir John: Pugspeed!
Silence
Sir John: Pugspeed!
Gore: Captain, begging your pardon, but pug speed is currently kinda dumb
Sir John: why
Gore: we’ve got weasel damage
Sir John: very well, time to go home!
*
Jopson’s line: it’s ok daddy, you can count on me!
*
Lady Jane: there they are!
Barrow: I can’t believe it, how can someone get so far off course?
Lady Jane: contact them at once!
James Ross: they’re at the arse end of the world?
John Ross: does that surprise you?
*
Francis: do you even know who I am? My name is Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier, Captain of the Terror, and i carry both the responsibility for that sofa, as well as for my crew of over 40 men! And I’m telling you, it’s not easy to feed that many mouths

Lecture : Du bon usage des étoiles - Dominique Fortier
Tumblr media
Résumé:
En mai 1845, les navires Terror et Erebus, sous le commandement de Sir John Franklin , un explorateur britannique, quittent l'Angleterre pour découvrir le fameux passage du Nord-Ouest. Francis Crozier est le commandant du Terror, l'adjoint de Franklin. C'est lui le personnage central de ce roman, personnage romanesque peu connu, il est tout le contraire de Franklin. Il est un des rares hommes de l'équipage à s'intéresser à l'autre aux esquimaux, considéré comme des sauvages. Commence alors un nouveau voyage, immobile celui-là, au cœur de la nuit polaire et vers les profondeurs de l'être, dont Francis Crozier, commandant du Terror, rend compte dans son journal. Il se languit aussi de la belle Sophia restée avec sa tante Lady Jane Francklin à Londres, où les thés et les bals se succèdent en un tourbillon de mondanités. Inspiré de la dernière expédition de Franklin, Du bon usage des étoiles offre un tableau foisonnant des lubies de la société victorienne- lesquelles ne sont pas sans rappeler certains des travers de la nôtre - dans un patchwork qui mêle avec bonheur le roman au journal, l'histoire, la poésie, le théâtre, le récit d'aventure, le traité scientifique et la recette d'un plum-pudding réussi.
Mon avis :
Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'une lecture rapide et agréable qui permet de retrouver des noms bien connus (Crozier, Franklin, Fitzjames, Little, Gore, Hornby, Goodsir …). J'ai eu l'impression de revoir des vieux amis après des années sans nouvelles.
On suit en parallèle la vie de Crozier et sir John et celle de Sophia et lady Jane. Cependant, l'absence d'intrigue supplémentaire rend le récit assez plat. Surtout en ayant déjà connaissance des évènements, j'avais parfois l'impression de lire un résumé romancé de l'expédition plutôt qu'une oeuvre originale.
Point positif, les personnages féminins sont ENFIN bien écrits et doués d'une véritable personnalité. J'ai pris plaisir à lire les passages sur Sophia qui m'est apparue comme une personne bien plus agréable que celle qui était dépeinte par Simmons. Lady Jane n'est pas en reste et brille par sa ténacité. Ce pan de l'histoire négligé dans Terreur est pour moi l'aspect le plus plaisant du récit. Ah, et l'humour aussi (voir extrait ci-dessous).
De nombreux évènements sont sous-entendus, il y a des allusions aux objets découverts plus tard (un gant laissé à sécher, par exemple) : autant de clin d'oeils aux lecteurs avertis. Il me semble que cet ouvrage s'apprécie davantage si l'on a déjà des connaissances de base sur l'expédition de 1845.
En bref, c'est une lecture complémentaire qui égaiera votre dimanche après-midi.

Silna: public defender who becomes a prosecutor, "still with the spirit of a public defender but prosecuting, um… bad actors."

Just a laundry list of stuff from the Terror scripts that doesn’t nearly get as talked about as much as it should and I’m going to make it everyone else’s problem
The way that neptune’s shit in front of hickey is LITERALLY a revenge shit. Puppy knew puppy always knew- but also how neptune is so beautifully and carefully tied into scenes like. The script loved this dog. So fucking much ("we put up with it because the captain loves it" DAMN RIGHT!!!! THATS HIS DOOOOOOG).
As much as I hate these bitches: that extended scene with Sir John and Lady Jane???? Him in bed with the flu and they are literally the picture of casual tenderness and affection and I might never recover from it. He literally asks her to stowaway like I CANNOT with that shit it’s so unbelievably cute. "I'm ill, Jane" will haunt me forever.
Sofia’s “you should marry a pole, not a woman”??? YYYYYYYOWCH
Also the change your jacket before you come down to dinner bit to Francis that was carried over from the book makes me go insane. Yes. Change your whole self to make yourself presentable to good society and then you can be with us. Yeah. Sooo fucking normal (I am yanking that man away from Sofia with my fucking teeth on the scruff of his neck).
Also. The Pelgar Bridgens romance. Is so real. Show gets so subtle with it I read it as a storge kinda bromance first go around but script loved these two guys being in love so much and it was beautiful that it was literally written queer love from the get go. And put up against Hickey and Gibson it’s a stark and beautiful and TRAGIC as fuck contrast. Like show showed it well but the way it was actually written is ascendant to me.
JFJ being at home in combat. Jesus fucking christ. And the crown of thorns. Jesus was a man riddled with scurvy and his name was james fitzjames. also the splinter thing he literally carries the ship with him in the most painful way possible. christ alive.

Keep in mind this is just a small fraction of women who rock. There are so many more women fighting for their rights. For example the women in Iran and the girls fighting for their right to education in Afghanistan.
