Snowpiercer (TV series)

Ooh, that's an interesting speculation!
One thing that I noticed about the Animal Team is that they're still wearing the full suits with their helmets and everything, even though they've been on the train for months, while we've seen Milius, and other people from the mines dressed in regular clothes. So I'm getting more convinced they're not regular humans, but now I'm thinking mutants rather than robots. Maybe some kind of a more extreme version of what the Headwoods did to Josie and Boki, and now they need the suits to survive.
I initially thought it was tied to the black stuff (and I still think that's the main project Milius and Nima are focused on) but Ben and Till specifically said that particular chemical is a weapon to use against Big Alice.
FWIW, for those in Canada, I've found out that season 4 is available through Crave. I had to dig around to find this out, as Googling just leads you to the 3 seasons on Netflix. Getting this info was more difficult than it should have been.
Oh look, it's episode 4.
Use the dropdown for season 4.
Yes.
Crave is an episode ahead of AMC.
I was referring to episode four being on crave, and not anywhere else, yet.
Oh ok. But yes, it apparently airs a few days ahead of AMC.
If you go back a page, Americans were offering me their children, to tell them how I was watching next weeks episode this week.
You began participating in the end of a conversation, without getting a look at it's roots.
No big.
Yeah, I didn't catch onto the thread of the discussion, ironically enough.
"I'm an engineer, not a doctor!"
Someone on the writing staff is a Star Trek fan!
Things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better. I'm with Alex: I don't like where this new track is heading. Most definitely a trap.
While I've long suspected there were was more going on that what we were seeing with Liana, I must admit I was a bit taken aback that Milius doesn't actually have her aboard Snowpiercer. Which highly suggests one very likely thing: Mrs. Headwood took Liana to Wilford...and that's where Snowpiercer is heading now.
There's definitely something more going on and I don't what it is, but I know I'm going to hate it.
At least Nima has finally grown a spine...even if it took Milius utterly humiliating him first.

I knew in my gut that Liana wasn't on Snowpiercer. Loved Layton & Josie completely ignoring the trap on the last car.
...and there it is. The other shoe has dropped. Wilford is back.
Even without the trailers, his survival and his return was inevitable. He's a slimy cockroach who just keeps escaping death and sliding his way back into power. The only positive is that he isn't in full control. Clearly his alliance with Milius is merely means to their own selfish endswith no lost love (and I still don't trust Milius' plan). But they're both bastards.
And because of them, Ben is now dead.
I said after Zorah's death that I hoped the show wouldn't get carried away like other shows in their final seasons and starting killing people off too much. Thankfully, Ben's sacrifice was an earned one, even if it was one that was heavily telegraphed the moment the lowkey music began playing after Ben said there was a manual override. Despite knowing it was coming, his death still hurt and Till's anguish was my own. I do not look forward to seeing the moment when Melanie finds out what happened.
Speaking of whom, the show has finally addressed Jennifer Connelly's very convenient absence. While still glaring, because this show is so incredibly stacked with actors and characters, I almost mind she's gone. The show has always been an ensemble and it's just as much about Layton, Till, Ben, Ruth, Alex, Josie, Javi, Roche, and yes, even Wilford as it ever was about Melanie. I know we'll see her again (regardless whether or not Milius and Wilford are telling the truth) before the end and that's good enough.
My only worry now for the remainder of the season is how the characters are now spread across four different locations: Big Alice, Snowpiercer, New Eden, and now the Silo. I was initially relieved when I thought everyone would be back aboard the combined trains by the end of the episode to avoid these split locations but unfortunately Layton, Milius, Alex, Wilford, Josie, and Liana are still at the SIlo with the trains divided. I know that isn't much different from multiple locations throughout Snowpiercer, but it is difficult to maintain a cohesive narrative with each passing episode with everyone spread apart. I trust the show to see it through in the back half of the season, but it is a worry nagging in the back of my mind.
I don't trust Milius. I absolutely do not trust Mrs. Headwood. I definitely don't trust Wilford. I just hope I can trust Alex.

I think whatever Headwood is doing to Josie has to do with why some of the military folks wear masks.
Undoubtedly and it's all for the selfish benefit of Wilford, but masked for the benefit of mankind.
I already figured Layton would be forced into an enemy of my enemy is my friend alliance, but damn, I didn't expect he would do it with Wilford. Of course, it's only temporary and for Liana's sake, but it's still so weird to see it play out.
As expected, we're finally seeing Milius' true colors and, boy, are they nasty. I'm still trying to piece together his endgame but I know it won't be good. Especially now that we've found out that he (completely unsurprisingly) tested on his own people for the supposed greater good.
Even though I worried about all of the split locations now, they managed to make good with the limited time for each one and I loved the quiet reflection and requiem for Ben's terrible sacrifice aboard Big Alice. You know things are bad when even Ruth is unable to find the silver lining. Fuck. Seeing her and Till in that bathtub, trying to find a path forward was a sweet moment, but it did seem weird that they were in that great big compartment, all alone, while everyone else were huddled in the the one other compartment.
Of all the side characters of the past to make a sudden return, Whiggins was pretty low on the list. Honestly, I only remember him because he's played by the always hysterical Kristian Brunn. Either way, it was still pretty weird when Oz stumbled upon him randomly out in the middle of nowhere. I guess that was the point.
So Milius plans to bury New Eden in an avalanche. Not sure what purpose that serves...or why he hasn't already done it. The only thing I can think of is one last bargaining chip. And I feel like that it's somehow connected with wherever Melanie really is...

Agreed.
One by one, Melanie is taking all the children to Jareth.
After handing over 80 kids to the goblyn king, she probably had to marry him, and put out, maybe some light petting, but they are far more age appropriate now, so it's infinitely less creepy, if he still looks just the same as 1986.
But her gambit is clearly tipping from colonization to invasion.
