Well my friends, it seems that February is around the corner and as far as my own New York City is concerned we have been experiencing some truly frigid temperatures. Of course I expect this to be the case in January and that makes this reminder about the premiere of the third season of the TNT Original Series “Snowpiercer” all the more topical. I shared the Official Trailer at the beginning of the year and you can click HERE in case you missed it. The rest of the post has some repurposed image and text to stay right on targer. Be sure to check your local area listings if you enjoy this program and I’d also advise you to set your DVR in case you get involved with anything else and forget that it’s on.
The Premise: Snowpiercer is set in 2021, seven years after the world becomes a frozen wasteland, and follows the remnants of humanity who took shelter on a perpetually moving luxury train built by billionaire Wilford, consisting of 1001 carriages that circles the globe 2.7 times per year. The constant motion of the train provides energy and prevents the passengers from freezing as well. Since the catastrophe, the train’s population has become rigidly separated by class, caught up in a revolutionary struggle against the strictly imposed social hierarchy and unbalanced allocation of limited resources. The show explores issues of class warfare, social injustice, and the politics of survival.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I slacked on several shows over the past months and never saw a single episode of Season Two. That made me avoid watching the trailer that was posted and reading too much into what is to come with Season Three. I’ve got the DVR posted to start recording this new season later on tonight and I guess I should start viewing that second season. Are you readers happy about the return of the show? If so please chime in down below in the comments. It’s always nice to know you are out there after all.
