All aboard! But are you sure you really want to get on? I mean, this train can only run for about 7 years straight before it starts falling apart. Good thing the train's designer also heads up the Hospitality department. As we learned in Snowpiercer Episode 106, she's a champion multi-tasker.
For an episode featuring the series' most cinematic action sequences so far, we also received a fair amount of world-building and...

The passengers and staff of Snowpiercer were all shocked to learn that train detective Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) had identified a suspect in the murder of Sean Wise. Although ruthless Eric the bodyguard may have performed the slicing and dicing, Andre, shortly before his unceremonious drawer-ing, believed Lila Folgers Jr. (or LJ if you're nasty), to be the brains behind the madness.

Last episode we witnessed the night car's various delights for up-train passengers. In this one, we saw Fight Night, an example of the depraved side of what passes for entertainment on Snowpiercer. I can't wait to see what happens next week! Maybe a car dedicated to Cirque du Soleil, except the performers are never allowed to be out of character and always have to speak French (but no one else on the train speaks French). Plus,...

This episode, "Prepare to Brace," inspired the title of our humble podcast. This episode's big event, the avalanche which blew out the cow car, has made me reconsider the wisdom of train-based arks though.
Ok, shoot me. When I heard that Mr. Wilford wanted a "significant arm" as retribution for the Tailies' failed rebellion, my mind went straight to Strong Boy. After all, the best-fed Tailie had some pretty fearsome guns in Episode 1. Also,...
