“Every frame of this movie looks like someone’s last known photograph.”
Five buttons. Francis loses five fingers, along with the rest of the hand that Silna has to cut off to release him from the chain Hickey’s bound him to. He loses the five syllables of his name, “Francis Crozier”, when he fakes his death and becomes “the one called Aglooka”. “Terror, Erebus”, another five syllables. By the time James Clark Ross meets with Silna’s former supervisor in 1850, it’s been five years since the Franklin expedition set out to find the Northwest Passage. Episode five, “First Shot A Winner, Lads”, sees Francis die symbolically for the first time, to be reborn in episode six, “A Mercy”. From that point, it is, to paraphrase Agatha Christie, counting down to zero, six plus negative one, the moment of termination. It’s the death of every man on the expedition except for Francis, and its the reducing of Francis to zero. It’s the zero Silna makes of his hand- “a zero at the bone”- his attachment to his former life, the chains that bind him to a boat, what is a captain who doesn’t go down with his ship? What, indeed, is the ship, if it’s on dry land, and it’s not a ship, anyway, but a boat. What do words matter? Very much, as it happens. It’s only the fiction of Francis Crozier’s death that allows James Clark Ross to stop looking, and return home. “We are gone,” Francis says, from beyond the grave through the Netsilik man, and again through Ross’ translator. There is no Passage, no loop to be made around the North and South American continents, no way to come out the other side, just a map with a hole in it, a grave, a zero dug out of earth, all of it for nothing, one button left spinning, a compass pointing to nowhere.

~ Ah, I've just finished my Midnight in Chernobyl book! I have to say that it was really interesting and credible! Some scenes were so greatly described that,while reading,it almost makes you feel as if you were present at the moment of the disaster. Definitely recommended.

- Did anyone manage to find the documentary with Lyudmila Ignatenko ( "Ljudmilas röst" )? It's so hard to find, I've found a link on the Chernobyl subreddit but the video was removed due to copyright...I've been searching for hours,but nothing came up :(

- Oh my god you guys have no idea how happy i am right now! Have you heard that there is a new Chernobyl movie/series coming out on HBO??? I thought it was a fanmade trailer! After the 2019 series i was amazed! And now i see that there will be a series including actual lost footage and tapes coming out June 22nd! God i'm so excited to watch this,i can't wait...though i know it is definitely going to be scarier than the mini series taken the fact that it includes actual recordings...
