The scene in The Terror Episode 2 where the last lead party returns (sans Lieut. Gore, plus Silna & her father) and Franklin goes "where's Graham?" When they're still like, 200 metres away makes more sense when you know that the actual Graham Gore, this guy

Was an ABSOLUTE UNIT of a man. Above six-foot in height and broad-built with it too. The actor Tom Weston-Jones, who is lovely and does his best with a limited role, is 6' scratch and just doesn't have the sheer size of the man.

(from a tumblr post of how to pick which one is Gore - he's hat-pompom-guy).

I don't think they changed the script to reflect that it would be hard for Franklin to see that Gore isn't there (given the actor is regular sized) versus it being easy to tell he's not there (the real man was an absolute unit!).

I wish they'd found a big fella to play Graham, rip big sexy, I just love a unit of man in a uniform <3

Sir, yes sir

Been making these little elephants

Decided they're going to be named for Franklin Expedition Personnel.

From top: Graham Gore, John Bridgens, Henry Dundas Le Vesconte (because he's lemony), William Pilkington.

This one is William Orren, of course. (added info in comments)

Terror brainworms: I had to make a welsh-wig.

I decided not to do the 'curls' as they are on the show because they absolutely *eat* yarn and I didn't have that much left of this grey (that matches my Terror-inspired fingerless gloves). I think these garter-stitched double-ups will be just as effective as curls or bobbles would be for the purpose of a welsh-wig (they stop water dripping down the back of your coat).

I made them by knitting the current row of stitches together with picked up stitches from a row 7 rows previous (basically - pick up a stitch from row 7 rows behind, knit it together with current stitch, pick up new stitch...and so on).

This is in dk-weight (8ply) 100% wool at 6 stitches per inch, like my gloves (not historical as it's not fine enough, but yarn I had on hand, plus some close-but-not-that-close darker yarn when I ran out, which I think they definitely would do in the 1840s). I feel like one (at least) of the Terror boys would have mended their wig with some other yarn!

I've put this on Eric, a stuffed hippo, who is why my tumblr is called 'hippocrafty' - the original plan was for Eric to model my crafts. I'm a) cursed to live in a warm & fairly dry climate & b) have long hair, so I won't get much use out of a welsh-wig for its original purpose, but it's a warm comfy beanie with a bit more to keep my neck & ears warm when I have my hair up so I'm very happy with it.

I think I caught that sound change too! Also, in the final two episodes, even the wind and the rocks sound a bit different! Not to dox myself, but I've spent time in very windswept 'barren' places (southern hemisphere, and sand & small shrubs, rather than rocks) and there's different 'tones' the wind makes at certain times that give the creepy creepy feels. I think they used the 'creepy creepy' wind not the normal wind more in the last two episodes! And they changed the tent flapping a bit too (probably because the tents were getting worn out).

I just have to shout out the sound designers on the Terror. On my rewatch (from 'Horrible from Supper' onwards), I'm really noticing how straight up disturbing the sounds are for some pivotal scenes. The Jirv murder with the off-key song, Jopson's crawling scene (I'm sure there are more but these two spring most immediately). Does anyone know if they used infrasound or some other low-frequency effects? I swear I'm getting the heebie-jeebies from the sounds alone!
