A classic standoff ensues, Eric stupidly shoots the side of the train (for unclear reasons), and he’s then taken down.
Till and Oz give chase, first through a crowded third-class car and then, after Eric grabs Jinju and holds her hostage, down into the subtrain.
Whether or not he is supposed to have used it to chop off body parts is unclear, but if he found the j-hook in the discarded hives wrapped up in third-class storage, they surmise, he may be there now. A quick turnover of his quarters yields a j-hook, a metal bar that beekeepers use to lift the frames that house hives. In the midst of the first-class middle-of-the-night fruit-and-eggs police shakedown, LJ admits that Eric, her bodyguard and the man we all know is the killer, didn’t come home last night. The plan is to sweep the train, from the Tail forward, and although Ruth resists (it would be very “unpopular” to wake fancy people up in the middle of the night), Melanie eventually agrees that Mr. Luckily, the fracas that broke out during Fight Night necessitated the shutdown of all the “borders” in the train, so if a first-class passenger is the killer, as Terence explained to Layton last episode, they at first believe he’s most likely in the first-class car. We’ve seen the killer’s face, but his identity is still a mystery to Layton and Melanie, so the investigation must go on. Nikki Genêt is dead as we expected, with a slit throat and all the accompanying sprayed blood. So first let’s work our way through that. Don’t just eat the rich, slice them open like a long strip of glistening sashimi and then delicately chew them up with a glass of sake as a chaser.Īdmittedly, it’s satisfying this week to have an outlet for this kind of righteous rage, even if it’s muddled up in a seemingly pointless murder plot. What’s left is the real meat of the show, an entirely unsubtle message, so loud that the people wayyyyyy in the back can definitely hear it: It’s time for an uprising. This episode, not even halfway into the season, essentially wrapped up the murder mystery I expected to play out for six more hours onscreen. And yet the in-your-face structure undergirding the entire enterprise - this giant rolling metaphor for our class- and race-partitioned society - may be the best bit about it all. It’s entertaining as hell, and sometimes puzzling, and often a weird, steroidal, accidentally campy version of the film and graphic novel it’s based on, but nobody is hailing it as Emmy-bait. We also bring in another special guest in the reigning Big Brother champion Tim Dormer, who discusses his take on the house and his first hand experience with this years cast given he got to live with them for a day 2 weeks ago.Snowpiercer isn’t great TV. With so much drama and an intruder to discuss, it’s all down to Ben and Alex to bring your their thoughts on everything that has happened since our last episode! From parties through to nominations, another upcoming double eviction to THAT incident between Cat and Lawson, it’s all about the drama on another episode of Big Brother Oz! We even manage to once again ‘manipulate’ the ‘ radar’ in making Priya climb the rankings despite the obvious talk being around ‘Clawson’. A new week is upon which means there is a lot of action from the Big Brother house to catch up on! Ben and Alex sit down and go over the events from the last 5 days and welcome a huge guest in reigning Big Brother champion and one of the greatest and most strategic players to ever play the game Tim Dormer!
