* EatTheDog: The remaining sled dogs are shot and turned into supplies. While the moment itself is somber, there is some BlackComedy when Thomas Crean (who handled them) watches the dog meat being cooked.
--> '''Crean:''' Turn him over, he's getting burned. He doesn't deserve that.

* ShootTheDog: Literally. All of the dogs are killed, first to cut down on supplies and later to be [[EatTheDog eaten]], along with Mrs. Chippy. Their owners are very distraught, but do it anyway to save the men and [[MercyKill spare them a painful death on the ice]].

* TheEeyore: [=McNeish=] the carpenter, who starts off pretty cynical about Shackleton's leadership and grows steadily more so as time passes on, spreading doom and gloom in the party. Subverted to an extent because [=McNeish=] is often right: he calls out Shackleton's ItsProbablyNothing bullshit about a whale, correctly noting that the ominous sound they heard was ice grinding against the boat, and he correctly observes that the ''Endurance'' is built with the wrong shape and so will be crushed in the ice instead of being pushed up free of it. But he's wrong about the feasibility of Shackleton's plan to take to the sea in lifeboats, and he's generally a Debbie Downer in the worst possible setting, and events climax in a quasi-mutiny in which [=McNeish=] briefly refuses to obey Shackleton's orders.[[note]]In RealLife, Shackleton was very bitter about this. Despite [=McNeish=]'s service in building a deck for a lifeboat and making it seaworthy for an 800-mile voyage to South Georgia Island, Shackleton refused to put the carpenter's name down for the Polar Medal award that most everyone else in the crew got.[[/note]]

[=McNeish=] argued that their contract had been voided by the destruction of their ship, so Shackleton no longer had any status over the other survivors. This would indeed normally be the case, but Shackleton had specified in writing that the the contract would remain valid until they reached port, even if the ''Endurance'' was destroyed.[[/note]]

It's 3 1/2 hours long and was originally aired as a miniseries on Creator/AAndE in two parts. It tells the true story of the epic [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Trans-Antarctic_Expedition Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition]] of 1914. Ernest Shackleton (Creator/KennethBranagh) is a veteran of Antarctic exploration who failed in his last attempt to reach the South Pole, turning back because he and his men faced death by starvation if they didn't. Unfortunately for Shackleton, in the meantime two different explorers, Roald Amundsen and Robert Scott, reached the Pole--and Scott and his men died on the way back, instantly becoming martyrs.
