WTF was with the ending?



Was Crosier dead or frozen or just waiting for death, or what? Or was that supposed to be a still shot? And who was the girl by his side?

Inuit hunters have to sit perfectly still by holes in the ice, waiting for seals to surface for air. Then when the water in the hole rises, indicating the presence of a seal, they plunge the harpoon down for the kill. If the seal senses movement, it won't come up. Sometimes a hunter has to sit motionless in the freezing cold for hours.

The last scene just illustrated that Crozier joined the Inuit completely and took up their way of life. The girl was his Inuit wife. In the book it was Lady Silence, and Crozier became a shaman with her, but I think it was some other woman in the TV show.

Fascinating. I did not know that. Thanks so much for that explanation.

That's the only explanation that makes any sense at all. I'm looking at 2 people on the ice frozen in motion...I say to myself "WTF", they froze to death, series is over. Your explanation gives hope for a Season 2.

I was disappointed when 'the guy with the big head' got killed by the creature and sucked down the hole, then Crozier stepped up to the plate and became a damn good character. Crozier, the other officer with the scars, and Hickey were excellent characters.
