Snowpiercer?

What happened to all the Showpiercer TV series posts?

There's nothing on the TV series page anymore.

I'm catching up with Season 3 and was checking to see if there'd been any discussion and not only are there no Season 3 posts but all the Season 1 and 2 posts are gone now as well!

Is this a bug? Did something happen?

That's interesting. It sounds like you're certain that there were actual episode posts for the show? I watched the first two seasons and would have sought discussion here -- which I'm pretty sure I remember, but my memory can be poor to say the least.

The only non-bug explanation for this absence, that I can think of, is the case where one user posted all the episodes, and that user has now fully-deleted their account via a request. That combination seems unlikely.

Also, I checked the archive.org Wayback Machine; a web search; and Metafilter's own search, none of which show evidence of prior existence. The Wayback Machine does have other Fanfare pages including landing pages like the one you linked, but not Snowpiercer's.

Best to ask a mod via the contact form or by flagging this thread, I guess?

I mean, it's possible isn't it? I definitely remember Season 1 discussion here. I'm hazy on Season 2.

Yeah, I could have sworn we were discussing some of the more ridiculous aspects of the train before it was revealed what the actual scale was in subsequent seasons.

I dunno that it carried through S2, though - it seemed like nobody was particularly enthusiastic about it so it just sort of petered out.

I raised this a while back, there is some sort of conflict between movie and TV show I think. The search function has some sort of problem with it

It was here, I recall reading the threads - one or more seasons was a full thread, and I think the first was individual episodes.
