    Simon’s number didn’t just go to his face, it went (likely) all over his body. When you see him pinned by the ghom, you see the numbers all over his leg.
    So him attempting to kill grace was one of the biggest number increases there ever was.

      He was younger and less life experience and more impression that Grace. Buy Samantha might taught him some stuff before Grace. And after . she Tells him all the stuff you do to get your number up imagine what Amelia most have done. Hr then runs back urgently . so he knows the higher numbers are evil yet still strives for higher numbers this deliberately doing the worse things deliberately trying to be evil why kicked grace off the train after she's save him because he knows its wrong and would give him a higher number

      Well, it was less the action itself, and more about how he had solidified his stance. He went so far that he believed he'd never be able to change, and so he doubled down, and then he lost all belief in himself that he could change. And that shot his number up

      It’s clearly the same scenario with two people that meant differently for both.
      To Grace, she had her life saved from the steward by a legendary being.
      To Amelia, she was finding more orbs to create her past with, with the steward and was just telling it to get more orbs instead of focusing on a random kid.

She hasn't changed MUCH from book 1 but is trying to change I just don't think she is there yet. (also if she did care she would probably be WAY closer to getting off the train by now).

    "Everyone can change, but not everyone wants to"
    Grace and Simon embody this idea to a tee. Even if Simon hadn't died, he likely wouldn't have ever wanted to change. Grace did change though, but it cost her her best friend. This season was so dark and it had heavy themes, but this one takes the cake. I don't think I have ever seen a show try this out and succeed so well

      That’s very true in life. People grow up and grow out of some people they were once close to. Some people change and others can’t no matter how hard you try. I really like the idea of redemption arcs, but every redemption story also needs to include characters who are irredeemable and just plain bad. I think the people who were complaining that Simon died missed the point of this season and were trying to find a way for him to survive, but even if he did, how could you live with that much pain and what makes you redeemable if you’ve taken away something permanent?

      The train is all about having the Denizens help people as they deal with their problems. One of Grace's was that, until Tuba and Hazel, she saw them as essentially non-people. So, when she realized her mistakes, and helped the birds, her growth was rewarded. It also helps that Origami Car was right next to the Mall Car, Grace might have left the door open when she left.

    I don't think the train 'beat him'. The train gives the passengers opportunities to redeem themselves, not make them worse. Sure, Grace is the one that set him on this path but after a while you gotta take responsibility for your own actions. Grace literally saved his life by pulling him back onto the train. And in that final moment he made the decision to kill her, ignoring ALL the evidence that he was wrong about everything. The train didn't beat Simon. Simon beat himself.

    I have a theory that the sole purpose of the gohms are too scare and keep passengers on the train so that they can progress and get off by dropping their number. Simon probably died so quickly due to how absurdly high his number is, which explains why Tulip was able to survive her encounters, because her number is considerably lower.

      @Ferd Ferd.D Its because people can get exponentially worse, the gohms are there to scare yes, but they are also kind of like part of the train's immune system, if a person (or denizen in the case of Lake/Allan Dracula) gets too malignant or fall out of line, they simply are destroyed. Like our immune system, in terms of natural killer cells, the gohms destroy themselves after they have done their purpose to not cause unnecessary harm to the train. Like what water hazard said, its likely that the higher your number is the faster you are killed which was why Grace and Tulip did not get as badly hurt by the gohm when their life was being sucked out of them as they simply had lower numbers. It seems as if the train is simultaneously treating passengers (and sometimes denizens) as foreign objects which is why the gohms attack people, but its ultimate goal is to also help them.

      Personally, I think they exist as a means of reducing overpopulation within the train. Although the train is "infinite", I believe sacrificing those who have gone beyond redemption probably serves as a means of a) making sure that passengers aren't influenced by their behavior, or b) making sure the computer isn't overwhelmed by so many passengers, since it's most likely canon that the train often creates or moves cars dedicated to the growth of a passenger as seen in brief mentions in season 2. If there's too many passengers, it'd be safe to say that maybe the train might malfunction, especially if they're dedicated to fucking it up like the Apex did.

      Not just that, but there was the "red-ish" (or "pink-ish") lightning flashing from the sky and (seemingly) from the train cars in the background of that scene. This may have been a simple effect put in by the artists to emphasize just how evil Simon had become, but oddly enough, the lightning seems to disappear once Simon sees Grace being saved by the "Nulls"...right before the Ghome pounces on Simon, sucks out his life force, and immediate self-destructs! Could the lightning have something to do with Simon's number rising to such an unfathomable size that it caused some sort of malfunction in whatever mechanism the train itself is currently running on? Perhaps Book 4 may provide some of the answers...

Had he not come onto a train that was taken over by Amelia, he probably would have gotten off the train much, much earlier. Instead he got no introduction, his first “friendly” person was the cat and he views her as abandoning him.

      I oddly feel sympathetic for him though. I think he didn't deserve it but THOUGHT he deserved it himself and went on a self destructive road to lead into him trying to kill grace... So I think he hated himself for things he did subconsciously, and did this to himself to excuse his actions... He COULDN'T have been saved because he was on a mental war with himself. He didn't WANT to be saved because he was clinging onto his belief. It was everything he had ever know shattered infront of him, and so did his mind... So I don't really blame the guy. And when you say he COULD have changed, I disagree. He did have the chance but that internal struggle prevented him from GIVING HIMSELF that choice.

    I think, if the show goes on, the "apex" is going to change theire name and go on a journey to fix some cars. On that way they stay all together until everyone gets to number 0. On the way they are going to meet Amelia and see how Hazel's doing. And at the end they're going to have an emotional goodbye and everyone leaves the train. As an end-scene we see Grace seeing two elderly people she recognizes and that is the end.
    And the base for potentiell season 5 could be the journey of Hazel and Amelia.

Being emotional growth for Amelia as well when she finds out how Grace dealt with Simons death. After all, if she can let go of Alaric then her number should drop dramatically. Hazel is technically her daughter being made, so her and one-one finishing the error passenger (hazel, since her numbers not working right and she isn’t quite human. Lake already set the precedent that things from the train can leave it. So, one-one should be able to find the solution by remembering tulip) and then both leaving together is likely the end of her story. Hopefully, followed by a special where all the main characters from the first four books interact. Amelia would attract Grace and Tulips attention and lake and Jesse could easily be there by chance

  • @Karlossus_
    @Karlossus_ 4 роки тому +146

    My theory for the ghomes is that they act as a kind of symbiotic security system for the train. Their purpose is to prevent passengers/denizens from attempting to flee out into the wasteland and away from the train (the train is their only means of survival, and to leave it means certain death. The Ghomes act as a quick execution of sorts).
    As for the incident on the bridge, I also believe they're possibly attracted to the numbers on a passenger, with the higher numbers indicating passengers with more dangerous tendencies. All passengers we've seen with numbers running up their arms have harmed/killed denizens, however Simon is the only one we've seen with a complete covering, and as far as we're aware, is the only passenger we've seen kill another passenger (whether he managed to or not, Simon had committed to the act with full intent, and the numbers reflected this). The Ghom seemed to go directly for Simon as opposed to Grace or one of the other Alex children, which to me suggests the secondary purpose of the Ghomes is to eliminate passengers that pose a threat to others.
    In essence, denizens and passengers who leave the train or try to remain outside the cars are preyed upon by ghomes (escaping them is simple enough, a passenger merely needs to enter a car and shut the door until it has moved on), and as such the ghomes prevent passengers from suffering when they refuse to follow the train's rehabilitation system.
    Amelia's statement that when a number is that high, a stray digit doesn't make much difference, has more meaning than just being there longer. If a number is that high, you aren't likely to go home at all, and the ghomes seem to sense that.
    Also as a side note, comparing the actions of Simon to Amelia's makes me consider what Amelia did to gain her number. Other than attempted murder, she basically did everything Simon did in her attempt to prevent Tulip from progressing, from attempting to kill One-One/Atticus/Samantha the Cat, all the way to attempting to trap Tulip in her own tape. It makes me wonder if her number only became so high due to her interference with Tulip.

    • @ariesmry
      @ariesmry 4 роки тому +25

      Karlossus I think her number became so high because she interfered with several passengers growth. She was the false conductor for years if Grace met her when she was initially on the train.
      I also don’t think that SImon died. His physical body no longer existed, but neither did the gnomes form exist after sucking in his essence (spirit?). I think that no one really dies on the train, they just transform into something else, and Simon was transformed into a denizen. It appears that a few denizen are created (like Hazel), but many simply be passengers who were caught by ghomes. I think that Samantha at one point was a passenger, who transformed into a ghome (which would explain why she has possession of her own tape, and her self-preservation at all costs, to the extent she says “I am what I am”). Just as Atticus was able to transform from denizen, to ghome, back to denizen, I think its a similar cycle for human passengers.
      Which adds a completely different layer of darkness when it comes to the whole wheeling denizens because they aren’t human propaganda that the Apex adopted.

    • @SpecialInterestShow

      @@streetcrash9 I decided to rewatch the scene where Amelia converts Atticus into a Ghom, and it would appear that the Ghoms have a cannon-compatible orb, just like the other inhabitants of the train. This would make sense, given the seemingly immobile Ghom that Samantha has in her cabin, and we know that the cannon merely gives an object a physical appearance resembling an orb's focus (such as the corgi orb turning the furniture and equipment in the engine into corgi-themed items). Given that the cannons came from the train itself, could it be that the Ghoms are were originally creatures from the wasteland the train resides in? Why would a train that exists in a seemingly barren and lifeless wasteland need weapons to defend itself?
      This also reminds me of a thought I had while writing the original comment, but now it's got me thinking even further. What if the ghoms are generated by the train itself, projected outside of the train in a similar way to the passenger processing car? And given we're now aware that the pocket dimensions the train cars project can vary from small to massive, depending on the puzzle within them, I'm now wondering if the wasteland itself, is a pocket dimension? It would explain how the track is seemingly infinite, and there never appears to be anything that forms a horizon like hills or mountains, it's always completely flat. Perhaps because it's generated to be so?

Instead of dealing with your problems over the course of your life with the people you know and trust, you're kidnapped and put in exponential danger, probably traumatized and ultimately worse off than ever.

I mean it doesn't seem like either had any intention to go home since Simon seemed to have trust issues when it came to authority and Grace for obvious reasons. The kids in the Apex are going to probably go back feeling extremely traumatized and guilty once they internalize that denizens are basically like humans and they've been murdering sentient creatures this entire time.

Also, I'm glad that Grace didn't leave the train in the last episode, even though she really grew on me. Having her tell the former-Apex kids that they have a lot of work to do to redeem themselves makes me appreciate this even more.
    As for Book 4, chances are Amelia and Hazel will be the main focus, and they have another companion joining them (animal, robot, singing space cloud, anything).

      @@LazyLoonz The Infinity Train is supposed to basically be the ultimate therapist, and the higher number = the harder it is for them to get better. This is why Simon got such a high number, especially compared to Amelia. Amelia was a sociopath, not harboring any ill intent per say, but not caring for the harm she causes. Still treatable, just very difficult to do so. Simon, on the other hand, became a straight up psychopath. He was so far gone that it doesn't *matter* if he gets all the help in the world, since his heart basically shattered to the point where he wants people to suffer around him. He is almost completely non fixable, if not plainly completely unfixable.

    I can't say I agree that the Train doesn't care about whether your numbers go up and down. Those origami birds weren't just flying by coincidentally (and outside of their car at that). The train does seem to be willing to help out those who are progressing towards...redemption? Self-understanding? Still not sure what reaching 0 truly means, but if that is the train's purpose, then it will take action to help people do so, which is as good a definition of caring as any other.

      As for the goms, I'm in the reincarnation camp for the passengers that are too far gone. We have only seen them threaten other passengers, which could also be explained as herding them to where they were meant to be, or even as extreme negative motivation to accomplish a task. Simon is the first time we see them actually kill someone, after which it consumes him and dies. That's not a particularly useful evolutionary trait, which means the goms are nulls, which means they have some sort of purpose.

  • @DJKennedy90
    @DJKennedy90 4 роки тому +12

    So I'm of the "Ghoms are murdered Denizens" theory. Basically, Denizens are essentially like data given life by the train, and when they die, it can be inferred that some of that data goes back into the Train's computer systems, probably to try to create new lifeforms, new Denizens, that could help Passengers better.
    But, the data that's left over... they make up the bodies of the Ghoms. Incomplete beings, they try to feast on Passengers (especially those with high numbers) and Denizens (who are made of similar data) alike to try to regain what's missing in them. This is why the idea that the Ghom that ate Simon is comprised of what was left of Tuba would feel apropos; that not only did she find Simon (and Grace) because of their numbers, but because Simon (and Grace by unwilling association) was responsible for her death and she took revenge.
    As for the explosion afterwards? Partially to show that Simon is deader than dead and won't be saved like how Atticus was in Book 1 was, but also that maybe the Ghom got enough "data" from Simon and his ridiculously high number that it essentially became a different being and its current form exploded while it would reconstitute somewhere else. Sort of like a teleporting butterfly that escapes from an exploding cocoon. But hey, that's just a theory... A TV Theory!

So I hope they'll learn to be kinder now that the group is revamping itself.

It's just a portal to the wasteland. The train's magic magnet seems to drag the portal/person into the train as they arrive. The number isn't generated by the world itself, but by the train. The world is creepy magic. The train is more scifi, as if man-made.
    It's as if someone trapped in hell figured out the mechanism of how to escape, turned that into math (the number), and built the train to help others do so as well.

  • @desertwanderer2412
    @desertwanderer2412 4 роки тому +15

    My hopes for the final season if they do manage to get to season 8, is a shut down of the train. While it's goal is to motivate you with self improvement it does so in the worst way possible. Pitting people in plenty of trick scenarios some of which are life threatening. It doesn't even seem like it takes people with huge hurdles to over come in their lives, and many of them are children. I mean most adults are at a point where they are either well adjusted enough to understand their problems or at the least get help for it, but kids aren't always going to understand that aspect. Not all kids have that capacity meaning the Train's target group on the train seems to be children.
    The kids on the Apex seem to have gotten the worst treatment by being pulled from their lives with no guidance on how to get home. Of course we can assume that One One had that intro pod video set up before Amelia showed up but even if he did that's years worth of kids yoinked up with zero help. How many were lost to the wasteland to Ghoms?
    I think that everyone on the Apex and train, including Simon have made some horrible steps backwards from their original problems, but chances are it originated from the train itself. All of them are victims of the train. The Cat was created by the train and I'm guessing she is another Denizen that the train created to help passengers but if the train really wanted to help why give a 10 year a parental guide who abandons them to a deadly beast.
    People like Grace and Simon have lost years of their lives and childhoods stuck on this train due to it's inability to correctly give the people on the train the guidance they need. So by the end of the show, I would love it if it ended possibly with Amelia going back to the front of the train and trying to shut it down, freeing all the passengers back to their homes.
    I think that would be pretty freakin rad.

    The train does all it can to keep people from dying but there are accidents. But i think that largely one one's 30 year removal caused a lot of glitches and issues.
    Its possible the gghom are not in fact a feature of the tarin and simply what lives here. Or are themselves glitches with no purpose, denizens gone rogue.

    Maybe I am wrong, but I feel like the moral of this season was to be open minded and take responsibility for your own actions.
    The series as a whole shows the consequences and rewards for treating people or denizens with respect.
    Yet I really do appreciate in the end the show had Grace try to change and become better even though it is hard. What happened with Simon was sad at first, but eventually even sadder was his own actions and choices that ended up hurting those around him even himself. He didn't have a good start, but he chose to get worse instead of reflecting and helping those who did care for him.
    While fighting Grace still cared enough to save Simon. Even after Grace did not understand she wanted to work with him. The thing is he did not want to work things out. Grace is not perfect, but in the end she started to care how she treated others and tried to lay off being controlling. Personally, I wanted Simon to work stuff out, but in real life people have the choice to also become better or worse. At the end Simon did not care who he hurt or what he did as long as he felt in control and could blame anyone for his own life problems.

Hazel also shares a lot of features of Simon and grace, her light skin and blond hair even her clothing mirrors accessories the two wore as children. But back to the point, grace is kind of like the mom trying to protect the child from the abusive father while also trying to protect herself or else become a target. Simon being the destructive parent that refuses to change and instead drag the other down with him, I.e killing tuba which to grace was her anchor and only source of comfort in the situation. But in addition to that Amelia is kind of is sort of like the grandparent or foster figure who helped hazel realize that she can’t stay in that harmful environment and instead seek help in a comparably more stable one.

    Eh I really like when cartoons go dark or they go as far like simon’s death
    Not many cartoons get to be this gore or dark which sucks

    They actually showed someone being melted to death by a large cockroach-dog in a Cartoon show. The absolute madmen.
    I'm in my 20's and that scared the absolute shit out of me.

    Simon should take some advice from Tuba’s song
    “Just take it easy-peasy..”

    The fact that Simon kinda had a crush and still left her for dead is something... 😂

    I assumed the gohm's were there to keep passangers from trying to get around carts or get off. I also believe that no one is actually in danger until you hit a point of no return, like Simon did. He went insane, he wasn't a person capable of saving anymore. The others still have sanity and can be "fixed", he didn't so the train couldn't teach him or let him off.

    Ik this might be hard but i think that one-one doesn't have emotions he's just programmed to be kind, that's why Amelia said he sees passengers just like number, not people and that also explains why he didn't care about Lake trying to be free
