His smile
The hair fiddling
Shape of his nose

"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.
Tumblr media
And on returning, Sir John tells him, “We suspected East was not our brightest star to follow”
Tumblr media
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?
Tumblr media
I think he did—or at least, that he assigned the Terror lieutenant to the eastern party for not-unrelated reasons.

actual criticisms of academia:
cost of education acting as class barrier
exploitation of graduate workers
colonialist past and present
ties to military industrial complex
danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues
criticisms of academia that get made:
those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

went to an academic classicism/antiquities event and had dinner afterwards with 4 of the attendees and it was fun?? i hit it off with one guy in particular, and we shared part of a train ride and he didn't mind me monologuing abt research topics or extinction rebellion for an hour. in fact said it was all fascinating.

The Important Role of Private Heather
We see very little of Private Heather before his encounter with Tuunbaq leaves him comatose, and perhaps his most memorable contribution to the dialogue is prompting the amazing Pudding Theory vs. Cathedral Theory, yet he influences the fates of everyone on the expedition. We don’t know who Heather was. We don’t know what he would have done as an active participant in the events that followed his injury. We do know what his brain looks like. And we know that he meant something to Sergeant Tozer and what kind of man Tozer becomes without him.

He goes out. Crozier, moved, lies there with the enormity of the gift Jopson's giving him.

I’ve seen some posts talking abt this weird little moment bw Little and Irving, bc ?? What’s even going on here lads. But I think the moment makes perfect sense when you consider the news they’ve just gotten about the provisions, seeing as Irving is the one who’s been in charge of those provisions.
He oversaw the inspection of the tins. It was his job to make sure all the unsafe food was disposed of, and then it was his job to do the math on how to reduce rations after the culling. We explicitly see him relating this information to the rest of command. And after all that, to find out it was for naught? That the tins he himself deemed safe were still killing them? That he’s been working and worrying about doling out portions of literal poison to his men for years, and he had no idea? Yeah, I’d probably look a little shell shocked too :(
And Little looks over to his friend, and sees him staring into space, obviously going back over all the time he spent agonizing over rations that were killing them anyway… of course he reaches out to try and bring him out of it. I read that interaction as Little telling him, hey, this isn’t your fault, okay?

all things said abt les misérables "cop who experiences one (1) moral conundrum and then promptly kills himself" is like objectively one of the funniest characters you can have
