Just got around to getting caught up on the show (watched seasons one and two a few days ago, season three today) and I figured, hey, never really seen much discussion of it here and we have a season four on the way so might as well talk about it.
Actually ended up liking this show way more than I thought I would? Kind of had no idea it goes as dark as it does; all I really knew going in was the stuck-on-a-train-part, Tulip, and it being an anthology series. Wound up pretty pleasantly surprised and can't wait for the next season now.

So that fourth season is also the final season Seems really bizarre how they're seemingly jumping up and down to get rid of it when it's one of the most successful shows HBO Max has, but no one claimed any aspect of HBO Max was smartly put together.

Just watched the new season. Do think it was the weakest season, but still pretty damn good. Really going to miss the show.
Will say it's pretty frustrating how it's really obvious they were wanting to have it be romantic and weren't being allowed to.

So a fifth season was planned as a movie, but CN nixed it due to not having a "child entry point".
Not having a kid protagonist was their flimsy excuse.

Which just makes me curious if there's a possibility of HBO Max taking it themselves to do it? It doesn't seem likely because of how productions are and countering a cancellation doesn't work the same way for animation as live action but it's still this weird excuse. Especially, especially now they want to talk about making shows for young women and...well, Infinity Train was kind of popular with young women so...*shrug*?

Kids can't watch a show featuring teenage and adult characters that is designed for children instead of them watching stuff they shouldn't be watching like Family Guy or Rick & Morty? Infinity Train wasn't for everyone but it fit that niche market. I am confused by executives, but we do live in an age where most companies are all about playing it safe.

Given the current clusterf*** that this show's kind of wound up being the public face of felt like a good time to bump the thread, since it prompted me to rewatch the show (which I've been meaning to for awhile anyway) and imagine some other people might feel the same way.
Just finished rewatching season 1, might do season 2 (or maybe season 4, seeing as it'd be more satisfying to end rewatching it on season 3) this evening. In light of seasons 2 and 3 I think I'd kind of not been respecting season 1 as much as I could have; definitely had high opinions of it, but was kind of looking back on it as just a bit of a warmup act for some of what comes afterward. Which is sort of funny seeing as my immediate instinct after season 1 (and then again after season 2) was thinking the season after it would have a hard time living up to it.
So was good to revisit it again, kind of get some new appreciation for it seeing it a second time. That said I do definitely think season 1 is kind of slight compared to what comes after it, but that's more of a testament to those seasons anyway.

I never really felt like binging it but I guess that's off the table now, considering HBO Max pulled it and a good portion of their animated stuff.

I'm an intern at Warner Bros./Discovery. This thread will now be deleted. You have never heard of anything called Infinity Train.

I watched a few episodes once news of it disappearing dropped since it had been on my to do list And now I’m really bummed about the whole thing. What little I saw was just wonderful. So off I go I guess

Four seasons are available on the Australian streaming service “Stan.”
