I'm glad I made a mistake and the carnival scene was saved. It turned out pretty epic. I smiled that even a man with an open skull was dragged in. To walk, so to walk, yes.
The doctor, of course, did not come up with a very adequate way to solve the problem with canned food (I don't remember the book in such details anymore, so I think that the act of self-immolation was caused by the news about lead). But Hickey proved himself perfectly - sacrificed one to save many.
The series escalates and the further, the stronger. Even though I know how it will end, I watch with pleasure and in one breath (for once I didn't even care about the voice acting, it's so interesting).

@Bisher: It is also clearly visible that the doctor himself set himself on fire (the one to whom they came for help). Well, he set the others on fire too.

@umka_pumka: I even had a laugh with this guy with an open skull - not only were they dragged to the party, but they also dressed up and got drunk, real friends, in general.

Something's gone wrong with the moral compass. What's so funny about mocking the half-dead? It would be appropriate in a black comedy, but in this series it makes you shudder. It shows that the cuckoo has flown away from almost everyone except Cap. And not only in the series.

@PanPanich: according to the book, they all ran around with him, fed him, washed him, changed his clothes and dragged him along precisely because they are good friends. It seems kind of wild now, but back then people were simpler about everything.

Actually, my thoughts almost converged with the previous comment.
I will add:
How much junk do they have with them that they could even arrange a carnival?!
The creature is a terrible ppc.

During this carnival, there was a feeling that it was made to raise morale, but overall it resembles a feast during the plague.

The first episode that even I liked. For the first time, I felt at least some kind of atmosphere in the series and I don't care that it was the atmosphere of a feast during the plague.
I hope there will be approximately the same series next, otherwise the last five did not impress me at all : with

It is very sad that the carnival has been changed compared to the book. In the book, he was completely different and there was no such strange burning. But in general, the series is very interesting, very strong
I'm waiting for the end with horror because I know how it will end ((

@Cheshire812: It's so unusual to know the ending and wait for it with horror. I caught myself thinking the same thing while watching.

I'm sitting here, and a song is spinning in my head, which an Eskimo woman sang sitting at night near a light. Her voice gives me goosebumps, it's nice. By the way, she ate the brown meat, but the fur is still white, well, okay)

Hi! I have a question - when he tried to cut the tent, it was necessary to stick a knife, or how, for example, to slash with a knife or stick it from above, thereby cutting the canvas, I'm just at a loss?!

@berbetenok: I thought about it right after the episode. There is no reason to cut the fabric with a jump, but the answer is immediately the same movie, for the frame you need to cut someone.

I should have taken more doctors, after all. For such an ambitious expedition, for such a horde of people. Now only Goodsir is left alone. Who asked for action there?

Of course, the carnival scene was changed according to the plot of the book, the Hickey group came up with the structure of this fabric maze, Hickey was carried to the last room by a scarecrow resembling Franklin to an altar made of a bear's skull, and a tumbler attacked them, thereby the people there burned and because of this moment they were flogged on Crozier's orders

Fitzjames was dressed in a Roman uniform at the carnival, perhaps this is a reference to the TV series "Rome", in which the same actor played Brutus.

@Barnaby: Kieran Hinds was there, too, who played Caesar himself there) And Fitzjames mentioned Caesar in the first episode.

@chernyshevasash: I realized that because of the canned food with lead, they had no provisions left -> the group would not survive -> I wanted to arrange a quick horror than horror without end
