roaming_kate23The Last Train, from 1999 is a miniseries that I had not heard of.
What is the premise?An asteroid is about to hit the earth, but there is a twist:The passengers who are on a train at the time the asteroid is going to hit the earth get cryogenically frozen and are unfrozen in the year 2050, in which time the world has changed,thanks to the asteroid strike which was apocalyptic.
One of the survivors knew that the asteroid was going to hit.Was a scientist and was part of a program for sheltering survivors and rebuilding society such as it was.However ,since the asteroid did its damage and there are survivors,some who are managing better than others ,getting to safety isn’t going to be as simple as they think it is.
One of the survivors is pregnant because 16 years after the strike most women became sterile so her being pregnant is unique. Shades of the P.D. James book Children Of Men which also takes place after some sort of cataclysm and a world in which women are mostly sterile but there is one woman who is pregnant.
