This might not have been the episode we wanted, but it’s the one we needed.

Here is Dan’s review of Wayward Pines, season 1, episode 8.

SPOILER ALERT:As always.

this review ofWayward Pines, season 1, episode 8 contains details you might not want revealed.

Ben might be critical, but that explosion was too large for either of them to make it.

Harold realizes more than once that he really cannot do this without Kate.

There are fantastically acted flashback scenes by Carla Gugino this episode.

This seems strange, to remove the chips and not leave town.

Its very clear that surveillances eyes are on townsfolk at all times.

Did people make a run at leave, see what was out there, and come back?

Nurse Pam is tasked with interviewing Wayward Pines surveillance team, trying to spot a leak.

Theresa tells off Megan Fisher in the hospital, and its pure gold.

It doesnt seem like the word choice of a saint.

Pilcher kills a headquarters volunteer for, essentially, sympathizing with the people he surveys.

At this point, it seems Pilcher has about lost it.

Pam aligns more with the unknowing citizens than she does her own brother anymore.

How far could we even be from a mutiny within the headquarters, too?

It doesnt seem like much of a stretch at all.

The Friendliest Place on Earth is a tough episode to assess, at first glance.

While we werent exactly deprived of action, a great deal gives the impression of bubbling beneath the surface.

This could spell quite a last two episodes for us.
