"The Last Car"
WOAH
Okay so that episode. A young woman boards a late night train home, but it soon becomes clear this is...not a normal ride. In the train is just an old man and woman, and a little boy. Literally five minutes in things start to go bananas, as odd things happen. Any time the young girl asks about the time, the old woman simply acts confused or deflects the question. The little boy, despite his annoying tendencies, constantly changes costumes (despite there being nowhere to change), and it always seems to remain nighttime. The girl questions her sanity, with things getting weirder and weirder until BOOM. As you've come to expect, its revealed she CANT leave the train. She's dead.
Good: This episode is also heavy on the hints that this train ride is forever, such as when the old woman both starts AND finishes knitting a whole blanket. Plus, the idea of a never-ending train ride with the same three people is maddening to say the least.
Bad: Alot isn't explained. How and why did this girl board this hell train?? Did she die somehow?? Was it by happenstance that she just so happened to board a supernatural train that will never let her go? Who knows. Also, got some wonderfully cheesy "zombie" puppets. I love em, though.
Grade: 7/10
