patty1h April 24, 2019 Share April 24, 2019 Did I just see Silna in an Amazon commercial? It showed a woman in her home in regular clothing and another version of her in leather pants and looking disco ready. (Hope it's okay to use this thread for this question) 1 Link to comment
Fellaway April 26, 2019 Share April 26, 2019 I have seen that commercial, but I didn't recognize her as Silna. I shall have to look more closely next time it airs! And, speaking of, I've been seeing promos for HBO's Chernobyl, starring our very own Jared Harris and Adam Nagaitis. I believe it premieres May 6. 1 Link to comment
formerlyfreedom June 5, 2019 Share June 5, 2019 George Takei Offers Some New Details About The Horrifying Second Season Of AMC’s ‘The Terror’ Quote Specifically, the network revealed that The Terror‘s followup season, subtitled Infamy, would focus on the United States’ creation of Japanese internment camps during the Second World War. Takei, whose own family was sent to one of these camps during his childhood, will also serve as a consultant. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, he offered some new details about what horrors Infamy would contain: “There is the old Japanese literary form called Kaidan, ghost tales, that is fused onto this experience of Japanese-Americans. The people that were imprisoned were highly stressed, and some marriages broke up, some people went crazy, and they overlaid the story of yureis — spirits — and obake — ghosts that possess people.” So, instead of dealing with terrifying arctic winter and the even more frightening mythical beast that plagued season one, The Terror: Infamy will pit Takei and the rest of the cast against two factions. On the one hand, there are the American soldiers who “knocked on [Takei’s family’s] door” and menaced many of the Japanese Americans they forced into internment. On the other hand, there are traditional Japanese spirits who are vengeful enough to possess a person. So, that sounds nice. 2 1 Link to comment
formerlyfreedom June 9, 2019 Share June 9, 2019 ‘The Terror: Infamy’ Star George Takei Recalls Japanese Internment Camp Experience – ATX Quote ATX Festival goers were treated to a screening of the first episode from the second season of AMC’s anthology series, The Terror: Infamy. It is set during World War II and centers on a series of bizarre deaths that haunt a Japanese-American community, and a young man’s journey to understand and combat the malevolent entity responsible. George Takei, one of the stars of the 10-episode season, who also serves as a consulting producer, shared his personal connection to the project, having been imprisoned as a child in a Japanese-American internment camp. “I consider this chapter of American history, the imprisonment of Japanese Americans simply because we happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor, to be an important chapter of American history and it is my life mission to raise the awareness,” Takei expressed. 2 Link to comment
lidarose9 June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 Don't get it. I thought the Terror was the name of the ship. This just sounds like another American Horror Story. 2 Link to comment

The different seasons are an anthology with the shared theme of terror running through them, as one of the ships involved in S1 was called ‘HMS Terror’ in real life, it provided them with an ideal play on words.

Yes, I thought Season 1 was so well done that it's disappointing that the creative team is different for Season 2. (I wonder what the original team is working on now.) Still, the setting and subject matter is interesting to me. I'm definitely in for Season 2 and hopeful. We'll see! 1 Link to comment
