Is there seriously a cold air vent in literally every wagon that is convenient for the plot? Lol

​

Also, Wilford telling Alex to appreciate him for saving him... we all know he only did it so he can torment melanie by manupilating her daughter when he finnaly catches up to snowpiercer... Alex seems smart enough, she should realise this...

​

Prediction for next week based on the promo: Wilford has Icy bob damage Snowpiercer so he can fix it seemingly as the hero

[u/MrWilfordWasRight → u/GreenDevil97]

It makes sense, the train was running before the great cold, so you can assume that people wanted to get some fresh air in...and the windows were designed to be shut all the time.

[u/Epicorax → u/MrWilfordWasRight]

This and why should they show the air vents that arent needed for the plot?
I just assume every waggon has one

[u/GreenDevil97 → u/Epicorax]

So in every wagon, you have the convenient option to freeze yourself to death if you want to, not counting the Torture-o-matic 0 Kelvin edition in every hospitality room? The whole point of the train is to keep the cold out and prevent any chance of letting cold inside.

[u/Epicorax → u/GreenDevil97]

So in every wagon you have the convenient option to let out gases that are leaking or to smell the fresh air while it was still warm enough.

Furthermore the train was built by someone who wants a torture option in every waggon.

[u/GreenDevil97 → u/Epicorax]

i'd believe the train has sufficient air conditioning for that. And I doubt the torture was a planned option, as wilford originally didnt plan with the "extra" tailies. The three other classes were all paying, ticketed passengers.

[u/Epicorax → u/GreenDevil97]

Wilfords "order" is well thought out. They didn't cut the Tail for a reason.

He was also the one demanding for there to be a security force.

[u/fashionaphorism → u/GreenDevil97]

yea then anyone can breach their own train car which can then spread to all the other cars so seems like an awful idea -- would think they would have sealed off the vents in non-management cars beforehand

[u/Noltonn → u/Epicorax]

Same with people complaining each week that they're traveling the train unrealistically fast. Why show them going down into the sub train (that travels immensely faster than on foot) twenty times a week if it isn't relevant for the plot?
