Some people like John McClain or the guy Steven Segal played in Under Seige just attract multiple random terrorists.

There's a lot going on for sure, I like how you kind of got introduced to all the main characters on the train.

Because he doesn't want anyone to get hurt. He just wanted it to stop at the right place. You could see from the guy switching the tracks that he wasn't expecting him yet. He wasn't meant to be going that fast.

Obviously that end for episode 2 was a red herring.
So Sam is doing all this to try to make the German authorities look for one of the escaped terrorists from season? This plan of his seems a little far fetched and flawed.

The third episode which dropped yesterday was by far the best one. Now things are making sense. Sam is under major duress and is basically framed. Guess his son from the first season was killed off between seasons and that is playing a big part of this story.

Got caught up with the last 2 episodes. There is 3 left this season.
Especially with thr reveal of the sleeper trigger man of the bombs. And I kind of figured that couple in the woods was suspicious.
So far, so good.

The Series Finale is now up. Idris said he’s not doing anymore after this.
Going to try to see how it ends tomorrow
I think it’s been good, but much slower and different. It hasn’t drawn much chatter here. I’ve made 6 of the 12 posts.

I finished it last night. It was okay overall. I do think the plane hijacking, aside from thr ending, was a little more entertaining.
There was only so much they could do with the train, especially with it being an unwilling hijacking.
Sam’s story is wrapped up. If they decide to continue this, they would need a new lead and scenario.

I never understood the main plot of this season. Why were the people behind it doing anything? Were the just trying to kill the prisoner? What was their end goal?

I feel like there are 100 other ways to accomplish that goal which would be better choices than how the show played out.
Seems like they had the idea first (Put him on a train! Speed 2 did a boat so we need to be different!), then just wrote a story around that. And the result is a story which really makes no sense.
