Infinity Train is a cartoon show by showrunner Owen Dennis and produced by Cartoon Network. Is it good? It is good. It has three seasons, and you can view them on Cartoon Network or its online app... Hah, no, what are you some kind of moron? Thinking a show produced by Cartoon Network would be available on Cartoon Network. You fool. You ignoramus. No, to watch Infinity Train you must go on a magical journey. It involves getting an Amazon Prime subscription to watch the first two seasons... and getting an HBO subscription to watch the third one. The first five episodes are out now and the second half will be released in a few weeks. This is definitely great and not infuriating at all.
But the show is good though.

As for spoilers at minimum I think folks should spoil any stuff in season 3. Might want to spoiler all seasons if folks come in this thread who've just started, cause the show is so narrative focused. I'll start:

In season 3 everything is fine. It's fine. Everything's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

I'd be fine with spoiler tags for the whole run of the show, since mysteries of the first season become basic mechanics for later ones.
Season 3 is great so far!

Anyway, show's real good, can't wait for the rest.
Season 1 is really great, and season 2 blows it out of the water
Season 3 is terrific so far but 2 is so specifically up my alley that I doubt it'll top it for me
Of the like, post-adventure time cartoons, this one is easily my favorite

wow
wow.
Latest eps spoiler:
the apex is a fascist cult
i'm assuming he's about to learn that his number has gotten higher than grace's as a result of everything that's happened and he's gonna try to pull rank on her
god i love this show. it didn't hit me at all that Hazel being a turtle was a sign that she was made by Amelia until they called it out

I was happy
I still think I personally preferred season 2, but. Dang. Dang!

Also the last episode of this season was the first time I ever felt the show was a little rushed, but still had some really good moments. Do feel like having another episode to resolve things would have made the pacing better.

-Did anyone catch how in Hazel's flashback the train looked totally different from how it appeared for Tulip. For Tulip it appeared as a relatively ordinary looking passenger train, for Grace it appeared as a fantastically colorful old-timey life-sized toy train car. It's super insidious that it changes what it looks like to ensure the people it wants to "help" get on the train.
-I like how they don't dehumanize Simon. Even when he straight up snaps and goes full murderer mode it still makes a point to show that he's distraught and actually conflicted about what he's doing. From a practical standpoint I don't know how else they could have resolved his story after he attempted to murder Grace. Maybe if Amelia or One-One came to restrain him and seperate him from other train passengers and denizens during his "rehabilitation?" Cause like had he not died he would have probably kept trying to hurt other people.
-This is total speculation and mainly based on the contrivance of having a tentacle dog appear on top of the train, but I wonder if the dog monsters serve an actual purpose on the train. Maybe they're attracted to numbers and serve as a sort of last resort "immune response" on the train. Or maybe it was just a contrivance to allow Simon to go full murderer mode and resolve it without Hazel having to kill him.
I did wonder too what the purpose of Ghoms are. We do see them attack denizens as well, so they don't care just about eating humans. The fact that the Ghom poofed after eating Simon is so interesting though, there's something more going on than just them being predators.
Also I love that so much of the Apex misunderstanding number direction was a result of Grace being insecure and asserting it must be good that her number was higher than Simon's when they first meet. It's such a simple, human reason.
Heh..."train." That is my only contribution to this thread until I watch the eps.
Speaking of which, my theory since Amelia turned Atticus into one is that the Gohms are the only native life in the Trainverse, and as such it's actually the force that powers more active Denizens. So Amelia didn't so much transform Atticus as "reset" him to his natural state.
I wonder if the series has a logical end game, and I hope season 4 details more about the history of the train and where it came from. Was One-One even there originally, and how much did he create the train versus being a component of it? And here's a question that's sort of been out in the open. It's a train. Where is it GOING?
It's definitely worth your time.
which is a bummer because i feel like seasons 1 and 2 both end on very clear-cut ending points. after both of those finales i was like "ok, this was a complete story, i don't need anymore than this, in fact i'm kind of surprised they're even planning to continue it"
whereas season 3 feels way more like it needs a season 4

Wouldn't be the first real good show that could use another season but never got one. *shrug*
Well
I'm gonna be honest, I forgot a bit of the lore set up in season 1.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
