Sounds about right

I read the book ... it was excellent and superbly detailed in the historical accuracy. But the bear was a monster ... the author delved quite deep into it. Tunbuq ... he is part of their oral histories and traditions.

Yes but not all of them were poisoned at once.... And they've seen the same thing, that doesn't go with your hypothesis

Lead poisoning doesn't make you see things, though?

@@vladimird5280 Exactly

That's what I prefer to believe.

Well, seeing what physical feats the "bear" is capable of, it does more damage to the show, than good. -from my view. The show started really good, the dreadful setting seeping in more and more. This monster crap actually ruined it for me.

Department of Defense I read about this the bear sounds fucking terrifying, and it does seem very similar to the one in the series the book’s monster is very supernatural and rarely described but I can see it being based on the near also.

I could have quite happily watched the series without the creature. The expedition, the conditions and the relationships between the characters were all sufficient to make this a cracking yarn. I thought the creature might have been added to encapsulate what they were up against in tangible form but interesting to read that such a creature did in fact exist. The creature depicted is more than just animal. It seems sentient and thinking.

I never found an issue with the tunbaq as it doesn’t ruin the story and it would just get boring for the average audience for men killed by it to die of scurvy and botulism, and adds excitement as well as being the reason for 99% of the shows tension. That’s one of the reasons I’m not too keen on this channel, as he focus wayy too much on ‘historical accuracy’ (I know it is the point of his channel but still) and I don’t think it really matters that much.

@Julia In the show I think it works up until the final few episodes ruin it as you finally get a good look at the Tuunbaq and it's clearly not a normal bear. But until then you can generally come up with a mundane explanation and consider the sailors unreliable narrators which works well.

"Bear pig man, not a fan"

Red and Yellow, Kill a Fellow! Red and Black, You're OK, Jack!

The book doesn't really describe the monster, but I agree it would have been smarter for the miniseries to make it a huge polar bear, instead of a bear with a gorilla's head.

Bear gay, run away

@@jlastre LMAO

Does history recorded what ever happened to those men exactly?

@@deathdealer2771 was thinking the same myself

Hold up now I'm actually really curious to know. What happened to them?

@@alkimia1791 Nothing is really known. It's only known they were transferred off to a ship known as the Baretto Junior, then they apparently did nothing of note to history. One interesting bit I found was that, only two ships mates entered into the register of HMS Terror, but the ship was supposed to have three, meaning one was never recruited.

It's like a story my pastor told me once as a kid. "One time a man was angry and bitter about not being able to go on the maiden voyage of a new ocean liner after his son was bitten by a dog and the boy's wound became infected. Luckily the child recovered but the man was still a little bent out of shape for losing tons of money for a voyage on the Titanic."

The British admiralty certainly did

most people have missed a meal , both now and then, particularly military. Of course that doesn't mean they can conceive of what its like to be truly hungry.

You think human dipshittery is only on that? We look back at the victorian era and think they're a bunch of fools, we look back on the culture of the 50's and on up until about 10 years ago and think they were silly.

People are arrogant dipshits who think they know what's up when almost everyone knows next to nothing about anything. We will continue being judgmental fools who think we've got it all figured out finally for as long as we are humans. People don't see beyond their own fucking noses and think they're righteous in their estimation of others.

why dont they ever show snow on maps of the arctic, its a bit misleading, cause its like "oh, heres green land and blue water" just for reality to slam the table and say "wrong its actually all ice and snow" i know it melts and freezes and grows and shrinks. but they made antartica white to indicate snow and ice, why not do the same past the permafrost line, or the arctic circle. it might be constantly changing but it sure as hell aint green up there

I think they kind of did, because the natives had specified the location of the sighting of the ships in several occasions - hence the name. My wife used to works at Parks Canada at the time the ships were found. The archaeological team gives credit to the Inuit oral testimony that narrowed the search area.

@@DuckiestBoat959 Because the Arctic is all water, and charting ice is impossible because it changes on an almost daily basis. Antarctica is actually a continent, it's all land, and thus able to be charted.

@checky monkey Nah, I pass those "are you a robot" check boxes a the time. I'm totally human and that proves it.

Still happens.. Look at mountain climbers and how they die in very similar ways ascending to the peaks. I have a vague idea of what it would be like but would never understand the thoughts and feelings they had, knowing they are gonna die and knowing there is literally 0 chance for survival. Some probably took their own lives to get it over with quickly. I mean I'd probably try to kill myself quickly rather than freeze to death slowly or be mauled by wild animals. But then I don't even know because I'd never been in that situation. There's also the fact these men were more than likely told it would be pretty simple if they stuck to the plan and everything would be fine. So the feeling of betrayal as well, some probably killed others because they felt they were betrayed. Regardless, these men deserved better than what they got, I just hope they didn't suffer too long in that place, must have been worse than hell.

Omg you too?! When I was young I had a science book for children with this fucking picture of that one corpse in it and it stayed burned into my mind, blue skin and teeth and all

There wasn't actually any lead poisoning, high lead levels in soft tissues were caused by their bodies breaking down muscles etc. during the last weeks of their lives. They had zinc deficits tho which aren't good either and would have resulted in greatly weakened immune systems.

I just looked up the bodies (bad idea, as I’m trying to fall asleep) and I can’t believe they had that on a magazine cover on display in the grocery store-that’s horrifying. Cool, but horrifying.

Only if you like multicultural nonsense even in a period piece about 1843 English people.

and it could very well have been a regular polarbear initially and then by the time there's the reveal, we have excessively leadpoisoned crew and such.

@@joseortega-us6rn it lives in the Valley of South Texas. I have seen it at night running along the canal system behind our 4wheelers in Harlingen TX. It glimmers and looks more like the werewolf from the Harry Potter series 5th movie I believe. It runs on all fours but stands taller with some hair. It has long arms and legs. It was running behind us and our dogs and then it ducked into the mesquite trees and gone. That was roughly a decade ago but there were four in our party plus the two dogs. Only we saw it. We went back out with shotgun rifles but couldn’t find it. Oddly enough it was the only thing that bothered me more than Mexican drug cartels out there. That is what the chupacabra is and where we saw it. Never seen big foot and I lived in Colorado. Seen wolves, seen bears, but no big foot.

It's amazingly stupid since even the Romans knew about lead poisoning.

But the evidence the show presents, where Dr Goodsir observes first the seaman then the monkey with hard black gums and rotting teeth, is very consistent with scurvy, not at all with lead poisoning. I loved this show but that was a fairly ridiculous goof that I'm surprised no one else has picked up on (as far as I can tell).

@@jimbomacjimbo95 Actually, lead poisoning also rots teeth, as well as causing a black line to appear in the gums, called "Burton's Line". The gums don't go fully black, but it can be a pretty thick line of black (or even blue), starting where gum meets teeth. So no, not all that "ridiculous" of a goof.

@@saratavington5435 When a surgeon on a ship in the 19th century which has been stranded in the middle of nowhere for years noticed that his seamen are beginning to present with hard, blackened gums and loose teeth, he really shouldn't have acted so baffled as Dr Goodsir initially did in the show. Those characteristics are the classic early symptoms of scurvy, a disease very well known to and very much dreaded by Arctic explorers. Those scenes only served to make Dr Goodsir look rather incompetent, and therefore were a total misfire, in my own personal opinion.

@@jimbomacjimbo95 First, he was the assistant, not the surgeon and second he knew very well the symptoms of scurvy and he knew that the symptoms he saw, that looked for a keybordwarrior like scurvy, werent from scurvy. blackened gums from scurvy dont look like blackened gums from lead poisoning.

I had to trek home in a blizzard last year. Looking for a job, I got dropped off at an interview while this was going on, because I was desperate. But in that desperation I forgot my phone, and my ride had left. There was no one around to ask for help, and I had no money to use the pay phones. I waited maybe 45 minutes and even walked outside twice thinking my ride parked somewhere else. They hadn’t showed up either. (Assuming the interview was going to be a while, and thinking I had my phone) so I made the choice in near zero visibility to walk home. Without the gusts, it was already terrible to see. But when the wind blew, you could barely make anything out. I was terrified. I begged in my mind, I prayed for someone to stop and help me. There was no sidewalk, and snow drifts up my calves. I had never wanted anything more than to not be in that position. Walking in the road, if no one saw me. I’d be hit. If someone drove off the road because of how slick it was, I’d be dead. What was typically a 30-50 minute walk to my place, took me to get a few blocks. I don’t know if that feeling will ever leave. It’s very haunting.

Actually it was the cans themselves rather than the lead solder that was used to seal them which caused the problems for them,. They were made of unlined tin, tin contains high levels of arsenic and mercury which would have gotten into their food and slowly both driven them mad (mercury poisoning does that to you) while the arsenic would have slowly killed them.

The poisoning, the bears, the unknown, fear and just becoming increasingly delusional, they could of felt like they faced a monster in the wilderness.

@@davidabest7195 do you need a hug? You sound like you need a hug.

@@memoriesofmychildhood7297 same reason there's plenty of animals living there: they're just well suited as a people and culture to living there.

was just thinking this

I like that.

I took it as the interpretation of a spirit or demon of the gnawing hunger they all felt. Like the Wendigo.

hmmm i like it too

Their lead poisoned canned foods didn’t help them eiher

The book is very clear on the fact that it is an actual creature/monster.

He some how had edmure tully with him north, and had met the black fish😂😂

You mean Caesar & Bruts? ;-)

Yeah, and lord Edmure decided to join him. lol

@@Janintong It was all an elaborated plot by Blackfish to finally get rid of his nephew. Expedition has to go wrong if you put Brutus and a Ceaser on one boat.

I thought it looked like mance in the thumbnail too lol, but where's Arya the explorer?

I haven’t watched it but seen the actors in other things. The actor that plays Henry is in a comedy show called Motherland and he is brilliant! I should watch this programme.

Breadley it’s a evil spirit cast down on Earth it only looks a-bit like a polar bear because it can change form and tried to resemble one. But Tbf the show didn’t go much in tuunbaq’s origin so it’s not a bad theory the book fully explains what it is.

God, I wish they had. The Tuunbaq in the book is one of my favorite literary "monsters," ever. Long serpentine neck, creepy bear head...almost more of an otherworldly, alien being, than the brute strength version we got in the show. I mean, it "plays" humans like wind instruments (I would have killed to see that in the show).

Agreed with Guy. As much as I love the show...And I know this is a cliche...But the book handled the horror aspect so much better. The book was unbelievably creepy and there were some scenes that seemed to be tailor-made for a show/movie. Like the carnivale...I don't want to spoil anything, but yeah the book version was infinitely better. I still don't understand that change. I'd understood if they had cut it out of the show completely, but the change they made was unnecessary. And that ending...

EndyBendy I think the show was confusing because what happens to the creature makes it look like a animal. It’s weird that they toke the story but hardly explained what it was. I dunno maybe they thought it wouldn’t translate. The book is incredible and the reason I read it was I wanted to know more about tuunbaq.

@@endybendy5699 I forgot about the carnivale scene...yeah, the book's version of that was both surreal and chilling (everyone eating bear meat, singing "Rule, Britannia," the different colored "rooms" taken from The Masque of the Red Death...ugh, I can't believe they cut all that). And the creepy clock/stuffed bear that precedes the Tuunbaq's entrance. The show's ending left me rather gutted. More than anything, I wanted Crozier's encounter from the book...the whole tongue sacrifice thing. Dan Simmons is an incredible writer, and the way he repeatedly juxtaposes the Tuunbaq with Crozier's visions of a priest during Holy Communion, was creepy as hell.

@@blueskybelyr well that and the seal meat you just ate

"Is there any sun?" "Roll investigation" *Roles 1* "Not only do you not see sunshine but you wont see sunshine for the next month" "DUDE!?!?"

colon or em-dash, not semicolon

CRITICAL FAILURE!

Well, for you, maybe. I see there's still a lot of people like me for whom those supernatural parts of both seasons were setbacks. I've got goosebumps for realising the real stuff that actually happened just to be taken away from that experience with something that's obviously made up and completely unnecessary for the main reason every season was actually made for.

I don’t think it was kept on lead cans, I believe they were sealed with lead?

Or Mance Rayder. Very unique look he has.

With Brutus (Tobias Menzies) by his side! I wonder if that was a deliberate casting choice?

"Silence!!! He was the consul of Rome!!"

@@sarahmillard6401 they're also both in game of thrones. Really great pair of actors

@@user-yk7dc9hu2k I didn’t know that! They’re either great friends by now or sick of the sight of one another!

tink that frankiling is interpreted by the same guy that interpret the king beond the wall

Always has been

I think you mean The King beyond the Wall, rather than John Franklin.

How exactly was it human arrogance? I would say that it was ppl being dumb shits and not realizing that the arctic is the Arctic. Also cheaping out on new technology doesn't help. As an aside why did you separate the Inuit from humanity? It's seems like your inferring that the Inuit or other Native tribes would have never technology advanced, if Europeans had never interfered, and stayed as some kind of nature worshipping hippies

Well said. They came as if they were better prepared than the people that have resided in that land for centuries. "We have a diving suit that can help us go to a place that not even a native could." Well, and how much that helped you in the end?

@@charlesreid9337 what are you on about?

@@V-O-V Sike - A term used when saying something you don't really mean.

I suspect he is trying to push a conspiracy theory of something. A rubbish statement that has no basis in truth but can collect people who have grievances to them. People in poverty are hungry, and resort to food bank, the need for which is disgusting, but no he is so bloody hungry that they are resorting to cannabalism.

@@dianeshelton9592 you are a moronic individual of the lowest intellectual caste if that's truly what you thought they meant.

@@robertmckay5839 maybe it evolved from "psych", which was the original spelling of the word.

We do not kneel.

theres more actors from got I noticed :-D

Its Cesar ans Brutous

Edmure fucked it up for him, like he did for Robb. Should have listened to the Blackfish.

Lowest bidders get the government gigs, man.

That's humans for you.

The problem wasn't that they gave the canning contract to the lowest bidder, the problem was they only gave them like 6 weeks to make years worth of canned food.

HMS* no offense

"Operation Certain Death" is the name of a WWI offensive in Blackadder Goes Forth, as far as I recall.

@@carbo73 sums it up pretty well

Infuriated Dragon USS None Taken.

@@yuoma the ships were british so they were HMS, not USS

Where does one find this mini series, cause now, I'm interested. I have a soft spot for maritime history

@@Katpiratefan275 I watched it online, through streaming services try FX on demand

@@Katpiratefan275 It's available now on the BBC i-player, BBC2 are currently showing it.

I just stumbled on it and it’s gonna be my hangover binge series lol

We have just watched it here in Britain, binged it on BBC iPlayer gripping and gory stuff, the acting by all the cast was compelling viewing.

No worries I love your vids

NP - I saw it was down and I got worried for a second - glad it's back up!

Thanks !!!

Thanks !!!

History Buffs Could you do a review on the 1989 movie Glory? You probably saw it but it’s about the 54th Massachusetts black battalion during the civil war, it shows the journey of 25 year old Robert Gould Shaw and shows how he made history with the first ever own black battalion with their last ever battle being at fort Wagner. If you made a review on it already can you let me know? The movie is extremely historically accurate and it’s a fun ride, I would think it’s the perfect movie to review. Nice review btw!
