Layton seems woefully under prepared for making a colony. Like they implied that the plan was for Snowpiercer to rejoin later, but it doesn't seem like long range communication is possible. Building a colony around the main train, with Big Alice being used for resource gathering seems doable, but it didn't seem like they actually had enough stuff to get started. I'm not sure what I was meant to be looking at during the cliffhanger?

Who knows. I'm probably 100% way off heh. Perhaps there's another group of survivors involved with it and this has something to do with it: Oasx posted:Clark Gregg joins the show for season 4 Scrotum Modem fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Mar 29, 2022 |

It’s probably a third faction. That wrapped up a little too neat midpoint. Like - SO FAST. But the end was exciting!

I enjoyed the ending a lot but agree it went very fast. Particularly felt like they didn't have enough time for Javi this season - no resolution to the dog PTSD stuff but more importantly he was on the 'gently caress Layton' side last week but ended up on Big Alice?? I expected it, because otherwise Alex is the only engineer on that side of the train, but they needed at few lines (even one!) to address his decision-making. Same with the Boki reveal, felt like they had to cut a lot for time. Should've been an extended episode imo.

One minute he can take a shovel to the back of the head the next he gets knocked out running into a fan grate. :/ It was super weird AND he's suddenly nice and doesn't wanna murder people. It seems like a whole episode or two was cut.

This was still a good season but the pacing was unbelievably wack. Why did we need two episodes on Steven Ogg’s heel turn? Was that worth cramming everything that happened in episode nine into 44 minutes? Still can’t believe this show turned out as good as it did though. Miraculous.

Javi's PTSD was addressed already in a previous episode, his lady friend helped him through it. It really does feel like this episode needed another 10-20 minutes to breathe but at least as a series finale it was decent. I get the feeling they were surprised to get a fourth season at all and I've no idea how it's going to be any better than what we've seen on the show so far. The ability to split the train in half in 6 hours seems impossible to do without properly taking into account the balance of skills and resources. At first I thought they were just going to send Wilford off as a track-tester because he's got the smarts to keep himself alive and record any data properly while also being a perfectly fine sacrifice if things went awry; the sort of compromise I felt was necessary last episode. The idea they just sent him off and were like "we're too chickenshit to kill you or fridge you" is super weird to me. The fact we're probably never coming back to the "why are these people's medical records marked like this" mystery of the fridge bothers me. I'm really going to dislike the loss of all the character dynamics next season and I'll probably dislike jumping between settlement and train, if that's what they end up doing. It really feels like they may have written themselves into a corner here, it's entirely possible the show should have just ended. It feels like Pike's death is all the more meaningless with how this all played out, which is a shame despite his fate being self-inflicted. LJ's final scene made me crack up laughing but I'm sad to see the actress go... if they actually keep her dead, anyway. Also Boki wasn't hit in the face by a fan grate, it was a bulkhead. It's hard to catch but there's a massive slab of metal on the other side of the grating. It was weird bringing that character back when the thing that made him so entertaining, his personality, wasn't really on display at all. As for the rocket at the end, that was either someone trying to get off planet and failing or someone trying to launch a satellite and failing. There is the alternative that someone was trying to plant something into the atmosphere but I don't think an explosion does a decent job of denoting such an attempt. The weirdest alternative is there's a war going on but Snowpiercer has never been around to witness it. 7/10.

About as viable as a group of people surviving on a train without resupply, if not slightly more since you don't have to solve the perpetual motion issue

Yeah I guess when you think about it they're all supposed to be closed systems. A bunker can run on geo-thermal and solar. Snowpiercer requires the material in the show to power their unique system. And a space station needs to use solar. They just need to solve the heat problem with appropriate insulation.

Wow. Thank you for this! The song is really haunting and so fitting. Finally had the time to watch the finale and i have to agree with what was said already. They definitely rushed some bits and some of the motivations for the people who stayed and who left did not make sense from the context that was given. But i don't mind this that much at all. I think they stuck their landing and i am very excited wherto they will go from here. They left A LOT of options. Time and again the show reminds me of Battlestar Galactica with the last survivors of humanity, reliance on "faith" and now it sems we're hitting the New Caprica part of the story. Let's go!

Producers at Syfy told them to drop the serialised plots -- though romance drama seems to have been acceptable, hence the whole (terrible) boxing flashback episode. There's also a string of pretty poor episodes around a third of the way through the season, and another set two thirds of the way in. I think they're mostly better than what this show came up with this year though tbh.

Do the people leaving have anyway of contacting the main train, or a plan for it to check on them again when the colony is established? The episode seemed a little vague on that. Some of the characters acted like this was a final split, others like they were going away for a while, but expected to be reunited later.

Yeah Alex and Melanie act like its a temporary expedition and they'll be together again at some point, whereas the other characters treat it like a more permanent choice. If the components keep breaking faster than they can be repaired or replaced, Snowpiercer is going to have to stop somewhere - at least then it can be used as the core of a colony providing power, food, information archives, medical etc. The second train had the Big Alice engine (which has a much lower output) and like, a few food cars?

The Big Alice train was around half the train, iirc. I would presume they'd stock it with what they expected to need in the colony. I'm curious who the seed vault went with. Did they gamble it on Big Alice or did Melanie keep it on what she saw as the safer bet.

Isn't Big Alice just an engine plus sixish cars though? They took a greenhouse with them, something Big Alice didn't have. Unlike Snowpiercer, they were dependent on an increasingly diminished supply of rations during the seven years, since they couldn't produce food onboard.

No I meant the train they brought to New Eden was roughly half the train. I would presume resources were split along similar lines (save stuff needed to keep Snowpiercer moving)

I'm can't believe they kept the dog alive. Sure it is only one of three remining dogs, but it's a murder dog that only listens to Wilford. Which train did the dog choose?

How good do you think a nuclear fallout bunker is going to be at -420 degrees? Sure it's made of asbestos and lead but it's not designed for magic climate change juice.

Given how the Korean shelter worked out, you'd need a bunker that's deep underground, has a sustainable geothermal reactor, a diverse population, and is self sufficient in food and other vital supplies, and be able to keep order. Given how quickly the world froze, that would have to be thrown together very, very fast. Even the train is only just sustainable, and that was quickly thrown together.

I popped into this forum for the first time ever randomly, clicked on the too 10 thread and was pleasantly shocked to find out this show existed. About to finish season 2, and I just have to say I haven’t enjoyed something like this in I don’t know how long. I’ve been binge watching this all weekend. Is the stuff I’m seeing floating around about season 4 going to Netflix accurate, or is that just the rumor mill?
