Oooh, apparently the final season of Snowpiercer is going to begin releasing next month! Oh I'm so excited, I was so pissed off with how it was cancelled right on a cliffhanger.

It's one of my favourite shows, probably because

LOL your timing is excellent, I was just about to post a separate comment cause the algorithm dug this up. This is an incredible piece of melbourne history! I had no idea this was a thing. Probably an interesting watch for anyone not into trains as well.

ironically I follow it on Reddit but not here for some reason.

You need to get on it, tiny! We're so much better than the Reddit version.

anecdoteI was actually quite heavily involved with the Reddit community (though never a moderator) in it's early days. Not much, but my claim to fame is I was there when it was sub 100 members!

That's one of my favourite YouTube train videos ever! Love Taitset. Funny I've travelled that route thousands of times and never noticed that gradient.

Oh shit i gotta get back into that. I stopped watching for a bit to build up an episode bank as i was watching s1 as it came out, then forgot.

...in my defense large chunks of my life have imploded in the interim.

Season 1 kind of sucked imo. If you get past the first few episodes it gets much better. But the way season 3 ended annoyed me because it wasn't meant to be ended on season 3, so it finished on a cliffhanger. Now that season 4 is back in business, I don't mind so much

Really? I was rather enjoying

I thought the acting was pretty bad, and some plot choices were a bit questionable. But if you're enjoying the first season, you'll probably like the 2nd one even more!
