![]() ![]() Still watching The Terror. They had to abandon their ships after both ships been stuck in the ice for 4 years and the ice closing in cm by cm slowly crushing the hull of the ships and listing them at an angle. So they abandon their ships and start walking across the ice. which technically is the frozen ocean, 100s of miles south to where land starts and once they reach land, 100s of more miles until they reach the nearest civilized settlements: the total trip is over 800 miles and it's not a straight direct point A to point B journey. So they gather whatever supply they have: canned goods, rum and gin and whisky (there was no water on the ships, no machines on the ships at the time to make clean drinkable water), cured meats, biscuits, medicines and other things which I don't think they need but were shown packing up: a trumpet, silverware and chinaware in heavy wooden boxes with interior satin lining, wooden framed photos, and many other things that are not edible and usable for survival - mostly sentimental items each crew member didn't want to part with: keep in mind for every item they decide to bring, not only does it takes up room in the lifeboat, it also adds weight to it. Then they put everything into lifeboats which they have to pull and push for 800 miles. Can you imagine that? Plus the ice and the land they have to travel on is not 800 miles of flat surface. If they reach anything that is higher than flat surface, they have to take everything out of those lifeboats, use oars and wooden beams and ropes to raise them and heave them over whatever ice or rock obstacles are in their way, move all the items over the obstacles too, and then put them back in the lifeboats. This show is based on a true expedition that was lost and it was one of many that were lost going to the Arctic or to Antarctica. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankl...ost_expedition I can't even imagine being on the ice for 4 years, most of them ill and almost death (the cans for the canned goods at the time were made with lead), and to have to walk 800 miles while dragging and pushing wooden lifeboats which empty weight must be a couple of ton each and add everything else that's thrown in them making them heavier across very rugged terrain. Also the wives of one of the ship's Captain pleaded with the Royal Navy admiralty after her husband and his men on both ships have not been heard of for 2 years and the answer was: it hasn't been that long. We wait 3 more years and then we'll send out a search party. Problem is a search party takes months to organize and then it takes many months to reach the area in the Arctic they think the 2 ships are: even their fastest ships only reached about 5 knots of top speed. Back then there were no radars or satellites or drones or airplanes or any type of radio communication. You can be searching in the wrong spot for months. I am still amazed by this: the expedition to Antarctica by Shackleton and how incredibly with pretty much nothing left they were able to survive and find their way back: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperi...tic_Expedition Those men and women back then were tough. Only the wealthy have creature comforts like indoor plumbing and hot water coming out of faucets and sanitary facilities and good indoor heating and good medical care. Nowadays we complain if we have to walk a mile somewhere or ride the bus instead of driving our own vehicles. I watch the western movies and see them folks ride horses for 100 of miles, averaging maybe 20 miles a day, riding for weeks without any daily bathing and even when they do reach a town in the west, if they don't have any money, they still don't get a hot bath.* All those folks to traveled from the East to go to the West to settle those territories that are now western US states, many of them walked. Not everyone had a horse or a horse drawn wagon or carriage.Also many who walked didn't even have decent footwear.*Plus it was over rough dangerous terrain with wild animals and snakes and other poisonous creatures*that can kill you in an instant or what if you fall and break a leg or an arm or seriously injure yourself? You are done for. You will die from a infection and blood loss and shock. There is no rescue helicopter or off road vehicle to come pick you up and take you to the nearest hospital. I can't even imagine living in the middle of nowhere back then in those western territories, no AC, no running water, some areas are so rugged you can't hardly grow anything or raise any animals for food; then you have to worry about Indians or Bandits come and attack your home and there is no one for miles to help you. |

![]() THIS:
released onto YouTube Red, this series picks up in the modern day with (so far) the original rivals, Daniel and Johnny, played by the original actors in really well done turns of acting. It is a whole new perspective on the aftermath of the Original Karate Kid movie, some of the various ideas may have been hinted at by various places on the web and such over the years. But it has a new generation of characters, new problems, and a much more nuanced way of looking at the high school archetypes. Youtube is showing the first 2 episodes for free, after that you can subscribe or watch however you normally would streaming content. I know for most it was a one-off cheesy 80's movie, but The Karate Kid has quite the cult following and the cast, especially William Zabka and Ralph Macchio, have done things to keep their characters alive and filled out with backstory. So there is a lot to play with here, and I am really curious to see where it ends up going. |
