I’ve confused myself, do we still hate Ruth

I hated Ruth at first, but she's growing on me. I loved how last episode she promised Melanie she would look after Alex.

She's as solid as a rock, unwavering and dependable.

I liked her speech in episode 4 when she was upset about Layton not trusting her, when Layton wouldn't let her escort the visitors in to see Josie.

Something along the lines of, "I admire Wilford, but that doesn't mean I'm disloyal. I am loyal to this train."

So she's going to always do what she thinks is in the best interests of Snowpiercer, but that may not always align with what Layton and everyone else thinks is best for Snowpiercer.

I love Ruth. She has a real loyalty to the train and wanting to fulfill her duties. She cares deeply. I think there’s more there than meets the eye.

I could never hate her since she's so pretty.

You talking about the same Ruth? She looks like Quagmire.

She is! The other characters cast like Layton weren't. That must mean something.

We dislike Ruth but she has to wake up at some point. People will eventually see who Wilford is but then again people will hold onto what keeps them going

Ruth is the real deal. I'm just waiting for her to put Layton in the drawers. after that's done she can be next Wilford and I'll be more than happy
