you should watch the movie first regardless tbh, it’s great and Joon-ho is a gift

I just watched the movie for the first time about 2 weeks ago. It’s phenomenal.

Snowpierver, OP. Which made me giggle pronouncing it because I'm twelve years old.

I did enjoy the first episode, but it might get frustrating very fast of some of the issues of the premise aren't explained as the show progresses. Just off the top of my head:

Why a moving train? Isn't it a waste of resources, to have built a bunker that has a ridiculous amount of surface through which it loses heat and also devours fuel that could be better used to heat the habitat and a bigger, more productive greenhouse.

How many people? 3000? And this is all that's left of humanity? You should absolutely want the tail people to have kids, or in three decades there'll be very few young people to take care of the rest of you, especially since the average paying customer is, realistically speaking, too old to have any more children.

Where do people get their stuff from? Is there an entire series of wagons dedicated to producing clothes, shoes, toiletries, and how do the tailies get them? Bc at least those tailies who've grown up on the train have outgrown their clothes several times over, and the women need something for when

[justbolognese]

have you watched the movie? As I remember it, they were taking kids from the tail people

[des_pudels_kern]

Well not for much longer - there was a line in the episode that there hasn't been a baby or pregnancy or something like that in the tail in 5 years, iirc. I mean, I am not surprised the rich don't want to share their resources *now*, but in the long term they will need children to keep up their little society, and as much genetic material as possible to reduce genetic drift. 3000 people isn't much, and I'd bet half of these aren't of reproducing age anymore.

there was a line where Daveed was like "I want reproductive rights for the tail" so I guess they're not allowed to reproduce.

i had a dream last night where both chris evans and daveed diggs were on the train together kicking ass and that is how i remembered that this premiered yesterday. i'll watch it later today. idk if it will be as a good as that dream i came up with though i wanted to go back to sleep and continue it lmao.
