What do you guys think your numbers would ve on the train? Personally I think mine would probably be around the low one hundreds. I'd say 104

There's something I noticed: each passenger started their journey in a car that some relevance in their life.

• Tulip Olsen started in the Snow Car, like the place where the train first appeared when she was running away to Oshkosh.

• Jesse Cosay started in the Hill Car, similar to the place where Nate got hurt due to Jesse and his toxic friends.

• Min-Gi Park and Ryan Akagi started in the Iceberg Car, which has a theme of past and future. Ryan was trying to move forward in the future pursuing their dreams, while Min was clinging on to the past living in his hometown.

As we saw in episode 7 of the second season, when Lake tries to leave with Jessie through the portal, a force field prevents her from exiting. To better understand, when I discuss my theory, I'll mention some other scenes to provide context. As you saw in the final episode of the second season, when Lake and Jessie try to leave together, two portals form and then merge, allowing them both to exit the train through the same portal. At the end of the fourth season, when Min and Ryan's numbers hit zero, two portals form and merge, allowing them to exit through the same portal, just like Lake and Jessie's.

You might think that Lake couldn't leave because she was essentially a Denizen and not human (besides not having an obvious number), but what if I told you that's not the main reason? And it's not so much connected to her being a Denizen? Have you ever thought about what would happen in the scene at the end of the fourth season, where Min's number hits zero and she doesn't want to leave the train without Ryan? Why didn't Ryan try to leave through the same portal with Min? Here's my theory: it doesn't matter if you're a Denizen, human, or whatever, each portal is made for one person to exit, the owner of the number that hits zero. No human could escape through another person's portal. Another example: why didn't Amelia exit the train through Tulip's portal? She didn't even try (I feel like they wanted to conceal this fact I mention in my theory). But then, as soon as Lake "gets" a number, the train can generate a portal for her, which merges with Jesse's portal, allowing them to exit together.

In summary, the portal doesn't block Denizens from passing just because they are Denizens. It doesn't let anyone exit, only the person who managed to get their number to zero, even if they were human. Now, if Denizens can't somehow get a number through that giant machine with the green laser that prints numbers, then I don't know. But I think it involves the tapes, just like the portal only allows passage for those who manage to get to zero. The machine only "prints" the number on the hand of whoever the tape belongs to that was placed in that machine. It's also never shown what would happen if those little robots that print the "video tape" from people's heads were put on a Denizen. Maybe by generating the tape and putting it in the machine, it can create a number for the Denizen.

I hope I managed to explain well what I wanted to say about the theory. Well, if you found a hole in the theory, you can tell me to understand better.

So, apparently Ryan and Min-Gi aren’t based off the Prince and the Pauper. They are based off Piskarev and Pirogov from Nevsky Prospekt, a Russian short story written by Nikolai Gogol in the early 1830's. Piskarev is an artist who indulges in dreams and artful fantasies and Pirogov is a shrewd and cynical lieutenant. In the story, both of them try to get a girlfriend, but fail. The setting is the titular Nevsky Prospekt, a street in St. Petersburg, Russia, and in a way, it’s a character in its own right.

It may not be as popular as Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan, but it is somewhat notable. In Russia, they got some sort of puppet show adaptation.

Look at this illustration, Pirogov is on the left and Piskarev is on the right. Coincidentally, their outfits look similar to the outfits Min-Gi and Ryan wear.

So, apparently, Amelia was going to star in a movie for a season with a turtle named Cork. However, they never mentioned who they planned on voicing him, and I’m sure people still want this to happen. So, for this post, I want everybody’s suggestion on who should voice Cork the turtle.

He’s a turtle with a glass circle on his back. My fan theory is that Amelia was playing around with whatever creates Denizens for the first time and thought it the top piece of shell didn’t matter to the other pieces making a hexagon. However, she thought wrong, and now that back of his shell is a bottomless hole.

Now, think. Which actor would talk with Lena Headey, Jeremy Crutchley, Isabella Abiera, and maybe Kate Mulgrew? Remember, the other turtles are voiced by Jenna Davis, Justin Michael, Ashley Johnson, Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Matthew Rhys. Once we’ve got some good comments, I’ll make a poll. Don’t be shy, no bad ideas.

I suppose I should choose an idea myself, but it’s hard me to think of something like this. Maybe… Bill Mumy?

WHERE DO U STREAM IT THEN

Some random couple going through with a divorce lead to a kid being able to escape strict societal expectations and a the disbandment of a murderous cult.

Divorce is great, more people should get one. Not married? No worries your crumbling creative partnership with your bro best friend also works. Break up and you to can make an impact on people's lives and if you're lucky, their deaths.

In The Past Car you can see a memory of Amelia and Alrick getting ready for Christmas in Amelia's tape. I find it weird that Tulip would remember events from when she was a toddler. I wouldn't be surprised if Amelia included a fake happy memory just to entertain and keep Tulip stuck inside.
