The Wayward Pines premiere was a success.

Can it build up the story in episode two?

Remember that this is only a ten-episode gig, at least for this cast.

The numbers are a bit confusing, as is to be expected with this kind of distribution.

cloud hanging over their head.

It would be surprising if it didnt capitalize on all it has going for it.

Pope considers Ethan the prime suspect for the murder in town.

Thats rule number one.

Juliette Lewis as bartender Beverly is lovely.

Could this be part ofWayward Pines, too?

What could be the upside to heeding this?

Ethan was sent to Wayward Pines to collect Bill, a colleague who apparently committed suicide.

That might be the only way out of this town.

Bill left behind vital notes that Ethan comes to the morgue to collect.

Could Wayward Pines really be a town legitimately stuck in the past?

Beverly is convinced its 2000 and her president is Bill Clinton.

Ethan says he arrived in 2014.

Or is it a ruse put on by whoevers in charge?

There are no names and dates on any of the tombstones.

Beverly tells Ethan that Sheriff Pope killed Bill Evans in front of the entire town.

At dinner with Kate and her husband, Beverly is scared for her lifeand rightfully so.

Such is the case withWayward Pines.
