s01e06 — Trouble Comes Sideways

- Why don't I go?
- No, the hydraulics are broken, you don't know the specifics.
Specifics: grab a dangling cable and plug it in.

It seems that Melanie takes employees for idiots at all :)

It's amazing that so few people have thought about Wilford's absence, in my opinion it's obvious, especially after so many years.
Judy remained in the main cast, but what about that cleaning girl who replaced her in the rehabilitation ...
Leighton is greatly hampered by emotions, he is like a storm. I also noticed that most of the train passengers, regardless of class, live as if there is no apocalypse and do not think at all that the actions of each of them can lead to changes for everything in the ecosystem.

And how does it work? Why did one "poke" stop the train from staggering? Has anyone understood the mechanics of what happened?

Although it is illogical in some places, but you must agree what kind of action. I just want to shout "So what!?And what's next!?". Cool step-by-step development of the series in principle. You barely watch the first episode, and then you want to absorb each one, but the only thing that stops them is that they haven't come out yet.

A Russian patcher working with cold is something)!

It seems to me that Ruth is not so simple with her questions about Mr. Wilford's well-being...

I think it will not be so easy for Zara to hide her pregnancy and give birth to a child if the birth rate is controlled on the train with the help of lotteries and sterilization.

A cool series captures the soul)))

damn epic fail (Melanie is dissuaded from going to fix the hydraulics, they say it's cold there, let Bennett go. But she says he doesn't know the specifics.. Riley? he is the chief engineer, how can he not know the specifics of the hydraulics of the train? After that, she climbs up and all this "specificity" consists of reaching for the broken hydraulic cable and sticking it back in. There are no words.

I wonder what Mr. Wilford needs from Miles? Something about Leighton?

I'm confused with Wilford. It seemed to me that this was Melanie's second personality, which was quite interesting and logical, but now, after reading the comments, I thought about the fact that Wilfred really exists, and he seems to be lying in one of these capsules. We urgently need flashbacks about the creation of the train!!!

- "I created it, I'll fix it."
So Melanie made an effort to create the train, so she's not just the voice of the train. The story with Mr. Wilford is just a damn main intrigue😅 who is he, did he exist or not 🤷🏻♀️ I admire Melanie with every episode, how strong and smart she is.

Damn. What idiots people are. And they are also ungrateful, short-sighted.
Hey! You've actually had an apocalypse here. You are on the verge of death absolutely always! And you behave like complete morons and even as if there was no end of the world.
Melanie's doing great. I couldn't take care of such a bunch of idiots, even if they are the last idiots on Earth.

Where to watch

Mel, of course, is an ambiguous character, but what a fucking one she is.
But yes, the "specifics" in the form of a dangling cable upset. No one but the creator of the train would have guessed to stick it in place, well, well. One could at least say that they assumed a much more complicated breakdown there.

I think Melanie just wanted to get high from the adrenaline rush and fresh air, so she went "outside" to fix the brakes

Of course, the breakdown put more pressure on nerves than on logic, but it turned out to be very spectacular!! I got into it!

Does anyone know if there's a 2013 movie "Through the Snow" starring Chris Evans. I understand it's the same train story, but how are the series and the movie related? Is the series a sequel/prequel or a remake?
It's interesting to see, but I don't want to spoil everything for myself...

The chalk with the cable is still normal. I cannot understand the endless agony of the detective's motivation-he is certainly strange. And more. His girlfriend has been tailed for 6 years. It is clear from her face and disheveled hair that she lives in labor, washes with everyone. Why does she have a super-exfoliated body? I'm not super offended, but building a character somehow I would like to see not a pink picture of sex in golden tones, but something more complicated

Why does the aunt from the tail walk around the whole train for hours?! Interesting security, of course.

@Liza: Definitely. Let's remember the beginning of the series - she saw meditation in a coffin, she needed adrenaline to unload her brain.

If someone from the tail or level 3 seizes power, he will get fucked up in the first couple of hours from how much this power has not surrendered to him, because with great power comes great responsibility. What are they going to achieve, so that 10 oysters a day for the first class and a sauna are divided into thousands of people in the rest of the classes? It's like dissolving a glass of milk in the ocean. Do they want to think about the condition of the train, the salvation of mankind, plants, the distribution of resources, and ways to obtain these resources? No. Melanie is good, of course. The only one who is trying to save all these morons no matter what, the rest just want to eat, fuck, fight and sneak around without looking back at the consequences, as for me, this is the situation.

@Alexandra4440: It's also annoying that this Josie walks on the train like on a boulevard. Annoying enough that I was just in the process of giving up watching this farce.

That is, for the entire 1001 cars there is only one person who understands hydraulics? How come they haven't rested there yet

So, the numbers have arrived.
- The population of the train is 3,000 people.
- 70% of the population is third class and tail.
- In this episode, we find out that there are 400 people in the tail.
So, there are only 3,000. Tail - 400, third class - 1700, first and second class - 900

I should have executed that red-haired whore.

I watch this series and think: yes, in principle, everything is not so bad for me.

Afigennnaaya series, I kept it straight in tension🙏🏻

Come up with a train of 1000 and 1 car! Where trees, fruits, vegetables grow; where an aquarium the size of a river with different types of fish, where they dive and catch it; where various types of livestock; and probably a bunch of other things that we haven't been shown yet! And you can't come up with a normal cryoson, for example, as in the TV series A Hundred, where they got out of the cryocapsule and immediately went into battle!

please remind me, How did Leighton know Wilford wasn't here?

So, in the arguments for suppressing the riot, it sounded like this:
people from the third class got on the train for free, in return for being a labor force.
Question: why couldn't the Khvostovites, who also "got on the train for free", be equated with third class and made a labor force? Well, since they got on the train and are already on it.. Why mock people?
Everyone would be able to benefit. I don't think everyone is stupid there.
And the detective came in handy..
Wilford already needed something from Miles.

And by the way..
someone said that the khvostovtsy are all superfluous people and that they break the entire "ecosystem" of the train, create a shortage of resources
Tell me (remind me), what were these wagons originally intended for at the end of the train?

1000 wagons of 26 meters each (standard American wagons) is a 26 km long train, while the characters instantly move from the locomotive to the 780 wagon, where the brakes broke, from the tail to the night wagon or medical bay. It is clear that they must walk for many hours, or at least drive, taking into account the wagon road consisting of one track and a trolley. Logic and common sense are completely absent in this series when it comes to technical issues.
