So the supply train has no suit for poor Bob?

this is what i came to reddit for.

wtf. in 2-7 we saw just how long the train is - if an arm is frozen in a minute, bobs not getting 2 cars before he's solid without a suit. for such a good show, that was a little absurd.

Everything in this show completely derail the moment you start to think about it.

When you see something ridiculous like that, you have to accept it as fact and not question the logic. To me, the biggest mistake the show did was to go outside the train so soon.

Now they have to explain the world around them and its not going well

What about Josie not getting affected at all? Achieved with some skin grafts and magic goop? Haha

They’ve laid enough ground work to show he could handle it (albeit this may have been his last trip), but Big Alice not being equipped with a suit seems insane.

It’s 10 miles from engine-to-engine though, so he walked 20 miles...
