Midnight Mass [Episode 1] Director: Mike Flanagan Spoiler alert The series opens on the sea face of a glittering high rise urban landscape.   Minutes later, the camera shifts again to the deep blue but zooms out to a tiny island with a population count of 127. Crockett Island is lashed by cold gusty winds. It’s the polar opposite of those merry little isles with palm trees, warmth, sunlight that attract merry crowds of tourists from near and far. Nevertheless, this island afloat in the blue-grey-green sea appears to be a cosy little town. People greet one another. A sheriff holds law and order there. A church appears to hold together religious Christians in fellowship. It’s a town riddled with mystery and sinister urban legends. During the first watch, many may fail to notice the cryptic clues that are dropped in the dialogues and certain seemingly innocuous objects within screen view. Meanwhile, a storm is brewing which is expected to plunge the town temporarily into darkn

  Fun facts on whales 2 1.   Whales are gregarious creatures who prefer to live in pods. 2. The infant of a whale is called a calf. A whale gives birth to them every two to three years. 3. The Blue Whale is the biggest animal in the world, bigger than a dinosaur. 4. Whales swim at a speed of 30 miles/ hour. 5.   Whales vocalise through grunts, groans, woops and whistles. Male humpback whales sing, which is a technique to attract mates. Sometimes they may simply sing to enjoy themselves. They change their tunes to avoid boredom. 6. Whales embark on one of the longest migration trails covering thousands of miles. 7. On an average, a whale can stay underwater for an hour after which it must fill its lungs with fresh air. 8.   When whales blow out, it’s not salt water that they are emitting from their blowholes. It’s a mixture of hot air and bacteria which condenses to form water droplets. Rainbows may form when they shoot out water. 9.   Whales have a long life and s

  Midnight Mass Director: Mike Flanagan I live in Vasai, a small town by the sea. The beaches are desolate during the day, with people gathering in the mornings and evenings. It was a sleepy town not too long ago. Urbanization has made large areas of it a busy bustling settlement. Certain areas of our town still carry a sleepy hue. I watched Midnight Mass when a cyclone was whirring past our town. The cloudy canopy over Vasai, torrents of rain and chilly breeze served as the ideal ambience to watch this unique horror series that is set in Crockett Island, a quaint sea-bound town that is so sleepy it seems dead. I would switch off the lights, cover myself with a cosy blanket and binge this series. Sometimes my neighbourhood would plunge into darkness because of power cuts. The moon and stars are shielded by clouds, so I’d view the show in pitch darkness and pin drop silence late at night. I’d choose one hour before and after midnight to consume the episodes as it was called Midn
