After two series of the Snowpiercer tv show on Netflix, I'm convinced the train planners were as high as kites when they broke out the whiteboard for the locomotive..

-Surely there is more than one registered doctor on a train of 3000 passengers? Sure the Tailees get ignored medically (although they still exist in the official records somehow - how else do the kids apply for positions up train?) The guy (Klimpt) who looks after the cryogenic drawers must have some kind of medical training but he's too busy grooming everyone for a big sleep. That's still 2600 commuters or so for one doctor. Getting an appointment to get a headache checked out must take half a year.
-After seven years choo-chooing around the world, they're out of wood to smoke the salmon with. However there's still amazingly enough booze to drown the entire population easily with in various cars. Seriously, the rest of the world is a frigid wasteland and everything you know and love is frozen solid, so how has the booze lasted this long? How does the beer the engineers drink up front still have a head on it? Why is there still a wall of spirits in the night car? How has nobody drunk the last bottle of Wilfred's scotch?
We're all okay for ice, no worries there.
-On the back of that, is there a hydroponics farm car on Big Alice? If not then there really wouldn't be much of a supply left for Wilfred to puff away on long into the night, let alone get Pike buzzed up over. Big Alice might not have much food, but the train does seem to hold a lot of green.
-How many people have died in Wilford's bath while he's been bathing in it??
-How is it remotely possible than in the 1000 cars of Snowpiercer, the only MP3 player on board belongs to someone who dragged themselves into the tail? You can't watch movies, there aren't any. Cinema reels, dvds, blu rays, hell not even a single VHS is sighted. The whole sum of recorded music seems to be Wilford's music collection and most of those records are one's Audrey recorded. (Or sing a song you wrote on the 1st class piano if you can.) Which effectively means the world's entire history of music is now frozen and undoubtedly lost. What a horrifying thought.
Just on that point before, is Audrey the only performer in the Night Car? Have they been listening to the same singer for the last 7 years?? Have they not had a single open mic night where Oz could show he can play piano and sing?
-For fight night you pit two blokes who work on the train against each other. Both are missing part of their arm. Wouldn't it make far more sense to have two of the Breachworkers duke it out? After all, when they're not fixing stuff (or getting stabbed) they're busy working out! Or does losing one arm automatically boost you to lounge fighter status? So confusing.
-Also they can regenerate flesh from frostbite burns. Surely they're only an episode away from being able to regenerate a whole arm? I mean think of the ramifications of this! 'Look, stuff around and you'll lose an arm, for the 6th time!'
(Edit: While they don't grow arms back yet, there seems to be cybernetic replacements available in the last episode, so almost there!)
I've loved what I've seen so far though, bring on Season 3 already!
