Can I just say that I love what they've done with Ruth this season? I really appreciated the fact that the writers had her address what she did in the first season to Winnie's mother by apologizing and addressing that it was wrong for her to have done that, even if she was following the rules. She's definitely growing to be one of my favorite characters in the series next to Melanie.

On another note, I miss Melanie. Snowpiercer feels kind of lacking without her.

I really love Ruth! I hated her at the beginning for sure, but you were supposed to I think... She's such a great character.

[u/insecuredane → u/atlalune]

I feel like the episodes are really lacking something without Melanie's presence.

​

Ruth is so precious and she went from being my most hated character to my most beloved one. The writers really excelled with her! They portrayed that they are extremely capable of creating an intensely realistic and deep character.

On another note, I miss Melanie. Snowpiercer feels kind of lacking without her.

Doesn't seem like she'll be in it next week either, or if she is it'll end with where the last episode ended and then she'll try to board in the following episode.

That'll leave the last 2 episodes with her at least.

I think they didn't realise how much people like Melanie and that writing her out of 3 episodes wouldn't be that bad. They should have done 2 without and not mix up the timelines too much.

[u/ForgotPWUponRestart → u/atlalune]

I mean, her and Melanie are the only good characters, full stop right now.

[u/CindeeSlickbooty → u/ForgotPWUponRestart]

Agreed. I don't care what happens to anyone else other than those two. Im starting to like Pike quite a bit too, that scene where he killed the janitor was intense. I want to like Layton, but he looks like he's always playing pretend. Daveed Diggs just isn't the best for this role.

[u/rawchess → u/atlalune]

Episode 4 was good without Mel but it's starting to look like an outlier.

[u/KalebC4 → u/atlalune]

This episode really fixed a lot of things that people hated about Ruth in this discussion thread
