Editing Pilot Episode (section)

== Trivia ==

* Some characters seem similar to other characters in the TV Series.
* The pilot episode is much darker than the show, as there is cannibalism and the entire train is more like a cult. One of the supporting factors is the fact that the engineers are "monk-like in mien."<ref name=":0">https://assets.scriptslug.com/live/pdf/scripts/snowpiercer-101-first-the-weather-changed-2020.pdf</ref>
* The episode seems to lean more towards the movie than the current show does, as the train hits 2 massive walls of ice in the episode.<ref name=":0" />
* The event of the breach in car 56 is very similar to the one in [[Prepare to Brace|Season 1 Episode 2]].<ref name=":0" />
* In the pilot, Wilford Industries was known as "Wilford Industries & Transport" instead of just Wilford Industries.
* Wilford isn't on-board Snowpiercer just like season 1 of the series, however his backstory in the pilot seems darker. According to Sayori, Wilford's father grandfather worked in a car factory, but lost their job when the factory shutdown. His father went on a search for a job but never returned and his mother lost her house, leading them to living in shelters, the streets and eventually railyards and empty trains. His mother had to sacrifice herself for Wilford to go to school.<ref name=":0" />
* According to the script, the temperature outside in the pilot is -140 degrees, compared to the show's -110/120 average and the comic's -80.<ref name=":0" />

* Contrary to the finalized version in the TV Series, CW-7 after the missiles/rockets it's in blows up, it's a red cloud of chemicals instead of blue.
* Snowpiercer's departure in the pilot seems much more secret compared to the TV Series, seemingly taking place in a forest under secret operation instead of a large railyard where the TV Series' luxury liner was known to depart on it's rail cruises.
* In the script [[Kronole]] is written as Chronole.
* The brakemen are "a loose lot who spend more time mediating drunks than solving real crime, beat cops in a nice neighborhood, a part of the train’s fairly swiss clockworks" according to the script.<ref name=":0" />
* The Brakemen Garrison has a food vending machine.<ref name=":0" />
* 11 jackboots/security forces were killed during departure by tailies.<ref name=":0" />
* The Nightcar has sleeping quarters and a corridor around it.<ref name=":0" />
* Layton's brother, Damon, likes grilled cheese and tomato soup.
* It's implied by Till that before the Earth froze, there were 10 billion people.<ref name=":0" />
**This implies that the big rise in population could have been one of the reasons for scientists to develop CW-7, as more people could mean more usage of elements harmful to the Earth that play a role in global warming.
**It could also be plausible the departure place in 2050, as it is estimated Earth's population would reach 10 billion by that year.
**This could also be an explanation on the more sci-fi appearance of the train as a whole.
* Melanie's surname has an extra E at the end in the script.
*Besides characters and actors, there are a number of other things that make it into the final show from the pilot episode. These include:
**Grilled cheese and tomato soup.
**Cow 18
