I'm sorry to hear your day was awful, though at least someone returned your wallet! Sometimes strangers are very kind.
Thank you! It was a good day for kind strangers.
I really enjoyed the book, and have been meaning to get around to watching the show. The book, at least, was surprisingly faithful to the facts (as known in 2007, when it was written, at least), despite the horror-mythology additions.
I enjoyed the book, but I liked its premise better than its execution, so for me the show had the quality of top-drawer fix-it as well as sterling adaptation. Plus it takes into account the new information that has come to light about the Franklin expedition since Simmons wrote his novel, which really pays off in some specific plot and character beats. I would like to write about it. Just after a month of not writing about and hardly watching any film, the thought of generating words with intellectual content feels like a delusion.
