With TNT dropping a new show into the Snowpiercer universe, we\u2019re riding along to help you keep up with the mythology and filmmaking of this post-apocalyptic freight train. This installment covers the two-part Snowpiercer season one finale.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>In my last column, I said that Mr. Wilford is alive and well on another train. <em><strong>Snowpiercer<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s two-part season one finale (\u201cThe Train Demanded Blood\u201d and \u201c994 Cars Long\u201d) confirmed my theory with the introduction of <em>Big Alice<\/em>. However, the revelation that Melanie\u2019s daughter, Alexandra (<strong>Rowan Blanchard<\/strong>), is also alive took me by surprise. But anything is possible in this show, and that\u2019s why it never ceases to amaze me.<\/p>\n<p>Alexandra\u2019s arrival throws a spanner in the works for Melanie. In the finale, she admits that she abandoned her daughter for the sake of <em>Snowpiercer<\/em>. She also has no idea that Alexandra is still alive, and the inevitable family reunion won\u2019t be a pleasant one. Furthermore, no one knows what really went down between Melanie and Wilford, but it wasn\u2019t pretty. That\u2019s why Melanie is so adamant to prevent him from boarding <em>Snowpiercer<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Alexandra has been on the same train as Wilford all this time, which means they\u2019re probably close to each other. This situation complicates matters between Melanie and Wilford, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Melanie wants Wilford out of the picture, but her daughter doesn\u2019t. And surely she can\u2019t betray her daughter again. The second train brings worse problems to <em>Snowpiercer<\/em> than family drama, though.<\/p>\n<p>Wilford still has his fans and followers on <em>Snowpiercer<\/em>, and the timing of his arrival isn\u2019t ideal. Layton has just taken control of the train and he\u2019s trying to instate a system of democracy and fairness. Wilford is a threat to those plans, and he\u2019s going to cause some disarray.<\/p>\n<p>Wilford might be the second season\u2019s big bad, but he\u2019s a hero to many. Even Melanie chose to pretend that he was still alive and running things until the truth came out. For many passengers, he\u2019s a symbol of hope and unity. Some folks, including Ruth, follow him with blind devotion. Those people are going to side with him when he inevitably challenges Layton\u2019s authority in Season 2.<\/p>\n<p>An all-out war between Layton\u2019s supporters and Wilford\u2019s supporters is one option. I suspect there will be a body count in Season 2, as that\u2019s the type of show this is. However, showrunner Graeme Manson has said that the next installment will be about Layton\u2019s \u201ctransition from revolutionary to politician.\u201d This suggests that the showdown between him and Wilford will be more calculated than a simple call to arms.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that Layton\u2019s democracy isn\u2019t technically a democracy. He has spearheaded a violent revolution to overthrow Melanie and First Class. While Melanie ended up siding with him, he wasn\u2019t technically elected. If he\u2019s going to live by his democratic values, he must let the people decide who rules the roost. That\u2019s how democracy works. Even if his opponent turns out to be a terrible human being who isn\u2019t fit for power.<\/p>\n<p>The finale makes it clear that Layton\u2019s main goal moving forward is to unite everyone. The divisions on the train are arguably worse than ever before, but perhaps Wilford will be the catalyst that forces everyone to find common ground. One of the main ideas in <em>Snowpiercer<\/em> is that everyone exists in the same ecosystem. For true progress to be made, people must tolerate each other. That\u2019s what Layton wants, but he will have to do some questionable things to reach that goal. Such is the nature of power.<\/p>\n<p>Melanie had to make some difficult and cruel decisions when she was the train\u2019s leader. That said, she was evil in the name of the greater good to an extent. All she ever wanted was to preserve law and order. Layton was quick to judge her, but he\u2019s now realizing that he might have to do the same. They have more in common with each other than they\u2019d like to believe.<\/p>\n<p><em>Snowpiercer<\/em> proposes that leadership is difficult, and that means making some unpopular decisions. Layton has already shown that he\u2019s capable of putting his humanity to one side for the good of the train. He had to sacrifice some of the Tailies in the finale, after all. What will he be capable of moving forward? Does he have what it takes? Will the power corrupt him?<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Melanie is also going to struggle to adjust to a life without power. I don\u2019t see that lasting. She got rid of Wilford in the first place because she wanted to rule her own creation. She won\u2019t sit back and let someone else have all of the say. Of course, she needs to make it back onto the train first. When the finale\u2019s end credits rolled, she was still lying in the snow outside.<\/p>\n<p>Season 2 of\u00a0<em>Snowpiercer<\/em> is shaping up to be very intriguing. The stories of Layton, Melanie, Alexandra, and Wilford are the main talking points going in, but there are other plots brewing. LJ will be out to avenge her parents, and Ruth has shown that she might have her own political ambitions. All of these powerful egos are destined to collide with each other, and it\u2019s going to make for some entertaining television.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/snowpiercer-season-one-finale\/#utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=snowpiercer-season-one-finale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#\u2018Snowpiercer\u2019 Explained: What the Finale\u2019s Big Twist Means For Season 2&#8221; Welcome to\u00a0Snowpiercer Explained, the next in a long line of explainer columns about our favorite shows.
