It’s gonna be a hot one on the pirate train when Snowpiercer Season 3 pulls away from the proverbial station this Monday night.
When last we tuned into TNT‘s dystopian drama, Andre (played by Daveed Diggs) had orchestrated it so that he and a handful of other friendlies explosively broke away from Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean) and Big Alice, in their own 10-car pirate train. Before doing so, Andre made sure to hold onto Miss Audrey (Lena Hall), Wilford’s No. 1 gal, so as to ensure the safety of his baby momma Zarah (Sheila Vand), who was still on Big Alice. Andre, Alex (Rowan Blanchard), Josie (Katie McGuinness), Ben (Iddo Goldberg), Bess (Mickey Sumner) and others then set out to rendezvous with Melanie (Jennifer Connelly) at the research station, only to determine that they were in fact too late.
When the series picks up six months later (this Monday at 9/8c), the pirate train crew is continuing Melanie’s mission, following a trail of weather satellites to seek out any “warming spot” on Earth, where the big freeze is finally subsidizing.
Thing is, though, as Alex sorta puts it in an early episode, the pirate train is basically a jet pack strapped to a roller skate, so it is very prone to “running hot” as Diggs and Blanchard share in the video Q&A above. (Conversely, Big Alice is running ice cold, making for extra-bleary conditions as Alison Wright’s Ruth, Steven Ogg’s Pike and other friendlies struggle to maintain the resistance.)
Diggs and Blanchard in the video above also talk about how those among the pirate train’s skeleton crew have had to take on new roles… Alex’s new, sisterly bond with Bess… Andre’s Josie/Zarah dilemma… how Miss Audrey will try to eff with her captors… and, of course, the fact that Connelly will be seen again as Melanie this season, even though the intrepid engineer very seemingly perished.
How do you think Melanie will (somehow) resurface? Watch the video Q&A above and share your latest theories on the Snowpiercer pirate car. vs. Big Alice!

You’ll notice that no one is posting here. Why? Because this is such a dull show. Why does the future always have to be so awful. The future should be fun!
They should send the train to exotic locales. We need a train doctor, train purser, train activities director, etc. And different guest stars each week looking for romance, love, and adventure. Then people would tune in and it would have some buzz.
Snowpiercer Love Boat?
Um, no.
Snowpiercer is just fine the way it is.
I’m afraid Melanie will only be returning in flashbacks, which will be very disappointing. A waste of a truly great character. One that the show suffers without.
You know what … don’t watch it, if you don’t like it.
The clue for Melanie’s whereabouts was the “hot spring” that she found. Ten bucks says deep within are survivors. She’s not dead. She found a new colony to help her with promises of safety when she gets the train back. No body=not dead.
Can’t wait for the season premiere on Monday. Who else is looking forward to “Snowpiercer”?
Me! I really enjoy it. Yes, you have to suspend belief – much like when I watch La Brea, but that’s fine with me. Just a fun show to watch.
