6/10
A Mercy
15 August 2021
This episode is a pretty wild ride.

Fitzjames thinks that the monster is dead. Only it's alive and Lady Silence wants to be connected with the monster. She cuts out her tongue.

With rations running out. Fitzjames resolves that the crew of the ship will need to walk to safety and it will be a long treacherous walk. However he sees the need to life his men's spirits by throwing a carnival.

It ends in tragedy. A fire rages as Dr Stanley has gone mad with lead poisoning in the food. He started the inferno.

The episode highlights the desperate plight now faced by the crew of both ships, HMS Terror and HMS Erebus.

They planned to march, now they are forced to. The events were not even started by the monster.

The inferno scenes and the ensuing panic were well filmed. Dr Stanley's fate as well as many others were grisly.
