"We suspected East was not our brightest star to follow"
I'm currently doing a rewatch of The Terror with my merry band of IRLs known as the Gay Pirates. However, for the duration of our Terror watch, we have rechristened ourselves the Gay Boat Cannibals.
Every time I watch this show—this will be my third watch overall—I realize what a horrible go of it the lieutenants specifically are having. Having just rewatched episode 2, I’m very struck by how haunted Lieutenant Hodgson looks after returning from the leads party—the only other character with that much of a thousand-yard stare that early on is Collins.
And on returning, Sir John tells him, “We suspected East was not our brightest star to follow”
If I were Lt. Hodgson, I’d be wondering, “Did Sir John really just send me out into unknown horrors just to own Captain Crozier?"
I think he did—or at least, that he assigned the Terror lieutenant to the eastern party for not-unrelated reasons.

People writing about the Franklin Expedition in the 19th century be like...
Crozier: An officer with great experience in Arctic navigation.
Fitzjames: A young officer greatly beloved in the Service, a universal favourite, good and gallant, in charge of magnetic observations, greatly distinguished himself in wars, a hero.

I wanted to do one of those poll things for season 1 of The Terror. You know the drill, share it and tell me which one of these you think is a lie. To my fellow Cold Boys enjoyers, please share and don't give it away.
