As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Snowpiercer‘s series finale, “Last Stop,” was a masterclass in storytelling and character development. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, action, and suspense, much like the game of chess I played for hours on end as a kid.
The fourth season of Snowpiercer was saving its most thrilling for the end, culminating in an exciting and heartfelt series finale titled “Last Stop.” In a race against time, Layton, Melanie, Alex, Ruth, and their allies unite to prevent Nima’s plan from succeeding.
In summary, “Last Stop” represents the culmination of all that has been built up since the start in Snowpiercer, from Layton spearheading the movement with his cry of “One Train!”, to Melanie resuming her role at the microphone, and the unwavering pursuit of a place they can call home. The series finale also highlights some of the show’s most meaningful relationships.
The relationship between Melanie and Alex, mother and daughter, has been one of the most intriguing aspects of the show since their reunion in season two. Giving them ample screen time together in the series finale underscores their growth since that second season, particularly when their dialogue delves into Alex’s lingering and aggravating sorrow over Wilford’s demise, and how the absence of Big Alice’s engine serves as another painful reminder for Alex of her past.
Instead of pushing Alex to speed things up, I opted to listen patiently and give us the chance to delve deeper into our discussion, despite the time pressure we were under. Our conversation, though seemingly prolonged, seemed vital as Alex shared insights about recent developments. The possibility that we might not be able to salvage Big Alice began to emerge, but it opened up a new perspective: we could still save humanity. I knew deep down that for all her affection towards Big Alice, Alex wouldn’t let the engine stand in the way of saving humankind.
In the final episode of Snowpiercer, it is Alex’s intelligence that significantly alters the course of events. Throughout the series, Melanie has been known as the primary authority on scientific matters, but just before Nima fires a rocket with potentially catastrophic consequences, it is Alex’s cleverness and problem-solving skills that prove crucial.
Despite Melanie failing to persuade Nima from his course of action and Layton’s group arriving too late, it was Alex who figured out that dismantling a crucial component in Nima’s plan would thwart him.
opting for a subtler, sleight-of-hand approach to save the planet ensures that the tense scenario depicted in Snowpiercer remains intact, as Alex kept her strategy secret from everyone. She saves the unveiling of her unexpected plot twist until after the rocket has crashed and demonstrates that her plan was successful.
Despite the shock, Nima decides to perish at the moment his rocket takes off, rather than waiting to see if it was successful. There remains a palpable dread as Layton implores for a last-ditch effort to halt the rocket from afar. This scenario unfolds because of Snowpiercer’s choice to let viewers believe that Nima has achieved his goal.
Instead, their time as a duo is marked by shared comprehension and past experiences. They often reminisce about Layton’s initial uprising on Snowpiercer with nostalgia, as they find themselves compelled to move swiftly through the train compartments once more.
Ultimately, I managed to steer clear of claiming any more lives from our beloved long-term Snowpiercer characters. The final battle didn’t lead to sudden, tragic deaths, but rather a peaceful conclusion that allowed us all to return home to New Eden and embark on a fresh chapter in the ongoing saga of survival.
This outcome brings about a deeper feeling of tranquility among the principal figures. Although they remain unsure about how long their sphere of comfort will persist, they aren’t in a hurry to delve into explorations. Instead, they are savoring each day, establishing their new administration and appreciating the joys of life beyond it.
In summary, Snowpiercer’s finale was just right for the series. There are indeed some unresolved issues, but they’re left open-ended to suggest that the story of these characters will carry on beyond the screen. Furthermore, a subtle hint at the blooming flower towards the end implies that the world is gradually healing, becoming warmer, and eventually finding peace for everyone involved.
