#1 - WTF do those damn Inuit subtitles say???? Whoever picked the size and font of those subtitles needs to be fired and they need to re-edit them so that normal people can read them. I even get up close to the tv and still can only make out ever 3rd word or so!! Am I the only one who has a hard time reading them or what??

#2 - So if they're supposed to be stranded in the Arctic, then where the hell is the water vapor/steam that's supposed to be coming out of their mouths when they breath and talk?? It's definitely not warm there, or else they wouldn't be stuck in ice. Who's idea was it to leave that aspect of the cold out of the story?? I mean, if you want us to "think cold" then we need to see breath. I mean, was the budget so tight that they had to cut "CGI steam" out of the script?! Was it an artistic decision?? Well if so, it was a bad decision. I just don't get it. It would make their situation so much more dire looking if it looked like they were actually cold where they're at.

2 very annoying things that bring this show down a point or 2 for me.

Didn't see this relevant point addressed about the second Q: it's entirely possible the air was so arid it absorbed exhaled water vapor before it condensed in to visible mist, as the phenomenon is not just dependent on ambient temperature, but more specifically the dew point temp. Surely anyone who has lived in a place with cold, dry winters knows "seeing one's breath" is not like a switch getting flipped at a set ambient temperature.
