I bet after 7 years with nothing but employees, Wilford believes in two classes, WILFORD and everyone else, bitch. I don't think he's going to have much time for First's bullshit. Urgh I can't believe I have to wait for like a year for the next season.

Next season is almost done filming so hopefully they can knock it off relatively quickly. They've been doing the sfx for what they did film since they shut down.

Did anyone mention how Melanie looked out the left side window with binoculars and saw the front of his train coming toward them? Seems like the effects department wasn't on the same page as the director

Donnerberg posted:I think you should give episode 5 a go. The show only gets better once it's done pretending to be a police procedural. Alright, I took your advice and episode 5 was a vast improvement on how it felt like it was about to turn into another Person Of Interest type "if only they were making a show for the ultra nerds rather than the common denominator" thing Mr. Nemo posted:If your expectation is Mr. Robot or the Wire I'd suggest you check out of the show now. I misworded that, I don't expect it to be as good as (the two greatest TV shows ever made that aren't twin peaks), but it's aiming to be that type of "prestige show" as far as I can tell, so needs to up the.... uh, interestingness. The nightcar was an interesting touch but felt like scratching the surface of what could've been a cooler subtheme. The "loose" camerawork is really putting me off. Every now and then it looks like it was shot by the C-or-D-unit instead of the A guys

I love how just casting Sean Bean means he’s probably going to get pinched Was it ever explained why first class still has so much power and influence? Is it just because hospitality and the jackboots like palling around with people that used to be important?

cheese sandwich posted:I love how just casting Sean Bean means he’s probably going to get pinched Various articles on the internet from 2019 posted:In a new interview with The Sun, Bean said his infamous history of dying onscreen has changed the way he considers agreeing to a film or television role. The actor has started turning down roles in which his character will die, but not out of an ego-driven desire for more screen time As for the first class's power and influence, it's purely money driven. They bought their tickets, the money was put towards the work to build the entirety of the train, they are now simply riding out their investment. Second and Third, also having paid but not quite as much, are from the world and belief that this was enough for them to deserve what they had. It took a first class passenger murdering two non-firsties and clearly getting away with it for people to want an uprising. For the prior 7 years, nobody really cared because they were alive and also not in the tail. Oh God I'm sorry for getting political here but it's a serious parallel: It honestly makes sense when you consider that America managed 8 years with W. Bush after 9/11 without uprisings like Occupy, #MeToo, or BLM. It takes a spark and the train didn't have one until now. RYYSZLA posted:The "loose" camerawork is really putting me off.

Kegslayer posted:Is anybody else watching this because goddamn that finale was amazing. Huh, I'm stopping here because I don't think netflix (at least where I am) is at the same place as you guys. I think there's 2 episodes to go. I've just seen the revolution bit where the guy says Layton won't be able to fight long term. Edit, watching I've had the feeling that the tail people were always planned to be on the train. With the labour they do it seems like there numbers were a necessity. I might be wrong, but then again the whole setup is weird as hell and who gives a poo poo about first class passengers. Melanie gives me the impression she hates pandering to them, but can't not do that because the ideal of changing things would be devastating. The cars are already designed and built for the system, she's trapped in it without a means for change. Which falls apart a bit because she designed the train, albeit for Wilford. And it took only 5ish years for people to treat Wilford like a literal deity, it's bonkers and I'm surprised more people even in first and second haven't gone mad. ilmucche fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Jul 15, 2020 |

Film chat: re-watching it, and when Curtis meets Wilford, and Wilford talks about how everyone is in their pre-ordained position, he makes the same, mechanical hand movement that Mason made when giving the shoe chat. Is that to mimic a piston? Is there some previously-shown but of machinery that makes this movement? Are these questions going to be answered by me watching a bit more and seeing the kids Victorian cotton looming the engine? Edit: yep.

Something that seemed weird on the finale was when the hatch to Wilson's train was turning it ended on the W being inverted, an M. Besides remindg me of Mr Burns shooting it may have some other meaning. The obvious one is Melanie, but what? Melanie clearly isn't behind the other train.

Maybe it’s because this is actually the evil Wilford and it turns out that the one that Melanie killed was the good one I had a blast with this show but I thought it was kind of ridiculous in the finale where they see this other train and everybody just assumes that the guy they were all ready to execute Melanie for her admission that she murdered is on it Also seriously gently caress Ruth I hope when she goes down it’s more satisfying than watching her riding a stray train car to her frozen death cheese sandwich fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Jul 16, 2020 |

Phenotype posted:Because they can use their money to influence people, which isn't really the case when you're on a magic train speeding through a world of ice. Money isn't real. It's basically just a codified form of influence which the first class on the train also have. The entire point of Snowpiercer is that you think the stratified society on the train is horrific, arbitrary, unsustainable and nonsensical, and then realise this is also true of the real society, in reality.

Comrade Fakename posted:Money isn't real. It's basically just a codified form of influence which the first class on the train also have. That's the point though, the first class people don't have any influence because their money doesn't mean anything anymore. In the real world, they influenced other people by offering to give them some of their money. On the train, money is worthless and the first class people have nothing to give anyone, all they have is a receipt saying someone else was given money at some point in the past. I can't see a society like that lasting more than a few months after the workers and the jackboots realize there's no reason to bust their asses working for these people anymore. I know what you mean, but it just rings a bit false to me. The favors that a real world billionaire can grant go far above anything that the first class passengers can do; the only thing they have to offer is the promise of the existing, mostly-stable social order, and the fear that comes with upsetting that.

At the end of finale when melanie is walking towards the back of the train shouldn't she be going forward? I would've though wilford if he's on train 2 would be in the engine of that train.

Never finished the first season, but last I heard they didn't finish filming this season either. Nice to know that the show and I are in the same boat. I really liked the pilot, and wanted to like a lot of the following episodes, but it lost me almost immediately. Persisted for a bit, but ho hum, you know how it is. Hoping this second season will be better! Edit: oh, get in, they finished filming Season 2 back in December. Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Jan 25, 2021 |

Well, good first season episode, although I'm not sure if they should have had Wilford getting punked so easily right off the bat.While I like the idea of an engineer owning the rich guy whey built the train for, I feel like it makes him less believable as a threat. Still though, Big Alice seems interesting what with all the apparent mad science and everyone being crazier then even Snowpiercers apparently. Also, drat Layton does not gently caress around, invasion attempt right off the bat murdering like a dozen people. Would have been a good strategy if they did not have Strong Boy on Steroids.

New episode! New theme arrangement! Strange to change the focus of the show to a cold war / border crossing metaphor, I've seen a lot of plots where a character has to fight for the soul of her lost child, but I think this is the only one that opens with that child attempting genocide. Guess they've still got some sort of plan for Annalise Basso's character. They've very, very quickly reconfiguring Ruth as a more heroic figure. Probably because Alison Wright is loving awesome, and probably the show's most interesting performance. They dropped Susan Park's character from the credits, and added Steven Ogg. Wonder if the loss of half of their queer couple will have them reconfigure their romantic pairings a bit; hook up that queer brakeman with the kidnapped conductor, or something. Always happy to see Karen Konoval getting work. DaveKap posted:Yeah it doesn't really hit its stride until halfway through. But once it hits that stride, boy what a stride it is. Okay I binged the rest of Season One you were absolutely right. I really enjoyed that. Some reservations, and I wish the show wouldn't trend towards melodramatic plots, but it's pretty good overall. Love the set design too.
