Prime liveblogs: The Terror (AMC 2018)
Sep. 8th, 2024 07:17 pmOkay so I said this was close to, but not quite, my id, based on what I'd osmosed, so it was like "keep me posted but I'm not actually going to get out of my way to get access." And then it came to a streaming service I had access to already, so it's like...yeah, might as well try. And I do think that "close to, but not quite, my id" is fair. Like, I don't super care about the flashbacks/awkward romance/delusions of grandeur type stuff. And I was worried about sameface issues, however, I was able to mostly tell apart the main characters successfully so could be worse. That said, when it came to keeping track of the minor characters, that's harder. (RIP, Old Guy Who Gave Book About Ancient Greeks to Young Guy He Likes.) Medium-adaptation wise, this is the kind of thing where with a book you could pause, flip over to a map, compare the place names then in use to contemporary ones. Here it's like...are we near Canada yet? Is this still Greenland? IDK.
