Wayward Pines turns in its best episode to date.
Its worse than you’re able to ever imagine.
And, truthfully, the build-up was worth it for the payoff, but well get to that.
Walking into the woods late at night has never been less safe.
Expect some Ben-saving in the near future.
A little too good to be true, almost.
Despite the relative slowness of the Ben-Amy storyline, Ben gets answers much quicker than Ethan or Theresa.
Ill admit it…the Abbies and the way they devour prey, are flat-out frightening.
Most shows hold out to the point where the reveal is disappointing, but not here.
Kudos to the writing team.
In Bens orientation, the kids are told that they were chosen to be in Wayward Pines.
The citizens of Wayward Pines are all thats left of mankind.What?
Talk about a twist.
Few actors besides Toby Jones could pull off the caring madman/unrelenting Big Brother like Jones can.
He can be either deranged, brilliant, or bouncing between the two extremes at any given moment.
There is a panoply of questions raised with this episode.
Is what Fisher said really true?
The Abbiescouldreasonably be what theyre supposed to be: mutated humans.
Could this be a horrifying brainwashing method, and could the Abbies simply be an experiment gone wrong?
Who wouldve thought that this show would employ a space-time continuum concept?
Though the alternative is tempting, the town brainwashing its youth, it doesnt seem likely.
With a bullet, The Truth has beenWayward Pines best episode to date.
The premise might be a bit insanea post-apocalyptic gene-mutation, space-time continuum tale meetsTheVillagebut its certainly one-of-a-kind.
I truly cannot wait to see what happens next.
