There are still a lot of questions after the big reveal, so don’t sleep through it.
Here is our review of Wayward Pines Season 1 Episode 6.
Where does the show head now, after learning what we did?
We arent given any sort of context yet, but its frightening nonetheless.
Seeing Toby Jones Dr. Pilcher, a usually unflappable man, so frightened is frightening in and of itself.
They arrive at a high-tech headquarters, hidden inside the rocks.
If you felt The Truth didnt give you enough answers, that sweet tooth will be satisfied.
Or has he learned too much, and escape now seems futile?
(My money is on the latter.)
He could very easily be either or.
Sure, the whole post-apocalyptic mankind repopulation seems to be a reality…but what if it isnt?
Nurse Pams tells Ethan that Wayward Pines is bigger than disagreements and family and that Pilcher needs Ethan.
Ethan finally runs into an Abbie and Pilcher explains their existence much better than the video Ben watched.
Pilcher shows Ethan a room where seemingly hundreds of bodies are in cryogenic sleep.
But whatexactlyis being done to them?
Pilcher causes it a burden in lieu of a right to make the decision.
At first he seems more cult leader than savior.
These four actors are tremendously talented and Choices fills in the blanks from the earlier episodes quite well.
This seems to have worked, but how does that explain Ethan, Theresa, and Ben?
They didnt go into cryogenic sleep, nor did a deal of the other residents.
How did they skip out on 2,000 years, if thats what really happened?
The news of their circumstances drove everyone of the first group insane.
It wouldve been nice to seehowPilcher worded the news; it seems it couldve been done more gently.
Its a fantastic scene and it seems that we will have much action in the coming weeks.
There are still plenty of questions to ask ofWayward Pines, but were at least learning more each episode.
Choices is another outstanding episode in a string of great ones.
