Spoilers for 'Snowpiercer' Season 1 Episode 2 'Prepare to Brace'

TNT's 'Snowpiercer' is one of the most fascinating new shows on air right now and it's quickly becoming one of our absolute favorites. Adapted from Bon Joon-ho's groundbreaking movie of the same name and the original graphic novel 'Le Transperceneige', 'Snowpiercer' follows the lives of what's left of humanity struggling to survive aboard the train Snowpiercer.

Set in a world where an attempt to reverse global warming backfired horribly and unleashed a new Ice Age, 'Snowpiercer' is an interesting take on class and humanity in the worst of conditions. The series has already developed its own fanbase and it looks like legendary actor William Shatner is one of the fans.

Shatner took to Twitter to livetweet the show's second episode. He announced the live-tweeting session with a post where he wrote, "So at the top of the hour I will be live tweeting #Snowpiercer #SnowpiercerTV if you do not want to see my tweets you can mute the hashtags by visiting: 👉🏻http://bit.ly/MuteMe Do it now as I don't want to see complaints."

The actor had a few questions about life on the train, asking at one point, "How do they move around the train so quickly? #Snowpiercer #SnowpiercerTV" Mike O'Malley, who plays the head of the Brakemen Roche on the show, responded writing, "There's a subtrain, sir. No walking necessary. #Snowpiercer" Episode 2 'Prepare to Brace' also introduced Lena Hall as Miss Audrey, the enigmatic proprietor of the Snowpiercer's night car. And it turns out Shatner loved Hall's performance, tweeting, "Miss Audrey of the famous night car! #swoon #Snowpiercer #SnowpiercerTV"



 

Lena Hall responded to the comment writing, "I'm beyond flattered." And who wouldn't be when you get a compliment from Captain Kirk himself? Shatner's not the only one who enjoyed the Night Car scenes though. A number of fans have also taken to Twitter to talk about the scenes in general and Lena Hall's performance in particular. "The Night Car, home of Tony Award winners," one fan tweeted. "Yay @LenaRockerHall! #SnowpiercerTV #snowpiercer."

Another fan asked, "Are they having a rave, a brothel, a funeral, or what? There's so much happening in the night car" before answering their own question writing, "Oh okay. So the answer is yes. All of it and therapy. #Snowpiercer" Yet another fan suggested Daveed Digg's character Andre Layton should also get a chance to show off his singing skills which, considering the sheer number of awards Diggs has won for his work on 'Hamilton', might not be the worst idea. "@LenaRockerHall that voice!!! Lissen," they wrote. "Definitely invite Andre on stage next time. You'll be AMAZED #Snowpiercer #SnowpiercerTV."

'Snowpiercer' airs on Sundays at 9 pm ET on TNT.
