I want to like this show,. I really do. It has a good premise, I think the actors are doing good with what they have. I think Layton lacks charism, but with some better writing Digger could pull it out.
That said, I just can't ignore the inconsistencies and nonsense that we get with every new episode. That season finale is no exception.
- Should we accept that Big Alice just happens to have that whole grappling / boarding system in its last car, and just happens to be travelling backwards?
- If Melanie needed to go outside, why didn't she go out at the last car instead of having to run on the roof of multiple cars?
- We've just seen them disconnect some cars; why didn't they just disconnect the last car once they saw Big Alice had attached to it?
I don't mind watching shows where I know I should just "turn off my brain" to enjoy parts of the show, but it's constant in this one!
I didnt understand the very last shot. Was it me or was it just a draft cgi shot? And the rest of the other train was missing? What am i missing here
Empty finale to a mosty empty series, it leaves us with a nifty cliffhanger but I fear it'll be nothing more than just a shiny little lure.
It was an OK first season. Not great, not awful, just ok.
Chicago Drift: Off the Rails !
Seriously couldn’t the people take showers? I can’t stand Layton....terrible actor choice for the role or just bad character writing.
It took some time to get to the end of Season 1 but finally I am here. Honestly the first half of this episode sucked but I did not expect the turn so that is a plus. The first half was just about - your revolution succeeded now eat it. Is it really that much better to live in total anarchy instead of a well designed secure order where everybody has his/her role to fulfill to contribute to society? (apart from the tailies of course but they have no place being in the train anyhow). Democracy export - that never works. Melanie cleverly survived and back into a decision-making position - without responsability though so she is an all-out winner. The only other joy here was LJ being thrown out of her own cabin by Mr. Pike. And then came the unexpected second half that was exciting and unbelievable in equal measures. The revolution starts in Chicago and apparently there is a second track and a supply train with boarding capabilities. I was wondering how they would keep up the tension - and this was the solution. What I do not get though is Mr. Wilford or however the fuck he is called. Isnt he dead (since the movie Snowpiercer) or killed by Melanie or whatever? I cannot follow this. What I expect though is that he collected the detached 7 wagons and we are back to square one with yet another new societal order coming to replace the current anarchy. Anything should be better than shower hating tailies running the train.
I just loved this first season so much!!! It had so many storylines tangled that payoff to very last end...the mystical part of it, the human part of it and the sci-fi part were all mixing together just perfectly!....the ending was something o wasn’t expecting at all...I kind of hope that like mother the daughter is playing the same strategy that Melanie did and Wilford is really gone and don’t exist in this world...I just need Melanie on that train again to hug her daughter
Well they played this whole thing about it being Wilford and it being a MAN to come and greet them up so much, it was kind of obvious it wouldn't be either. And as it has to be a person we sort of know, or know of, to give us the big "OH NO" moment at the end of the season, it wasn't really that surprising now, was it.

I never saw that ending coming. The rest of the season was alright, but Wilford coming out of the blue in Big Alice made me scream “NO WAY” out loud. I thought the signal was just going to be some old decrepit ham radio broadcasting into the abyss, but no, it’s a prototype train with JAWS on the front for one purpose: to catch Snowpiercer where it all started, and then hack in with an umbilical to stop the supposedly perpetual engine.
