That dude is generally cast because he is so easy to dislike. He was Brutus in HBO's Rome. Ironically, the guy leading the expedition (Ciarán Hinds' character) was Caesar in HBO's Rome.
Between Hinds and Jared Harris, the makers of this show picked some top acting talent. Had no idea that Jared Harris's father was the actor Richard Harris until a few days ago.

I just caught the first two episodes yesterday. Pretty good so far as it's creepy enough and the setting is pretty damn nice. You can tell they spend alot of money on the sets and props, no cheap stuff here. Felt a bit skeptical about it before I saw it and wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is.

Apparently actually built one of the ships which helps lend a lot of authenticity to the look of what they are doing.

Holy crap I was looking at some scenes and thinking wow that's a pretty great set/props for both the internal and external ship parts, didn't know they built it. That's awesome.

To feed her. I am guessing the bear thing is at least partly her grandfather or something of that nature. I don't think that makes her immune to it but clearly there is some vestige of him in there.

‘The Terror’ Designers Batten Down Soundstages for AMC’s New Drama This is an interesting peek into some of the prop work and how they made and shot the ship.

That sort of confused me as well why are you just letting this eskimo chick live that close to you for 5 months and how is she still alive with demon bear running around. That raises some very legit questions but I also agree with the captain wait for daylight such as it is. Going out during the night randomly seemed like a good way to get some men killed. The punishment seemed extreme but from what I have read about how discipline worked on those ships it probably was not that far out of the ordinary. The guy who got whipped pretty well deserved it and getting that lippy up in your captains face does not end well.

Not scurvy, lead poisoning and I didn't realize this was all basically real aside from the alien polar bear. Pretty crazy stuff: Franklin's lost expedition - Wikipedia
