wayward pines

A Secret Service agent goes to Wayward Pines, Idaho, in search of two federal agents who have gone missing in the bucolic town. He soon learns that he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.

It got me intrigued and interested after seeing the first ep. It will prob get cancelled though because it's fox.

So Twin Peaks for a new generation. Oh..oh it that Juliette Lewis? Yeah..kind of ew.

Last ep was interesting...

Spoiler:
Lewis dies

Been good so far. The opening scene is a direct homage to Lost. Some great acting from Matt Dillon, Terrance Howard and Melissa Leo. Not so much from Juliette Lewis. Cinematography is second to none. Adds to the mystery of the whole thing. It's been billed as an event series so should finish at 10 episodes. Hopefully it does cos Under the Dome was supposed to be a single season and was completely ruined by extending it purely because it got decent ratings.

First two were great.

Spoiler:
now there are monsters/aliens? wtf....

Yeah, I was expecting this to be some government or powerful group doing some sort of experiment, though the time-difference angle didn't gel.

Now it does seem to be

Spoiler:
extraterrestrial

Yeah, I thought that as well.... I don't know if I like new plot twist or not.

is this a show i should watch

So far, it is.

I agree 👆

thanks i'll give it a look

Oh wtf.... this ****ing show. It's hurting my head.

Spoiler:
Dillon becomes the cop now but quits, and wtf was that thing at the end?

We find out a lot next week. That's why the episode is called The Truth.

I've got a feeling this is not gonna go down the aliens route.

If I was to guess I'd say it's an almost Matrix style plot. The 'real' world of their past is some kind of suspended animation shown as humanity was in the past as humanity doesn't have the space or resources to actually house a large population and that Wayward Pines is actually earth in the future which is overrun by deformed and possibly virus affected humans that make large parts of the planet uninhabitable and that there are numerous outposts like Wayward Pines where people are chosen to start rebuilding humanity but under heavy handed control.

Well I was mostly right.

Somewhat reminds me of the plot to 'Millennium' (1989), where people from the future kidnap doomed humans (about to die in plane crashes) from the past and take them to the future to repopulate the Earth as the humans in the future are all sterile. edit: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097883/

I'll see later today how correct or incorrect you were.

Well not all of what I put was spot on but if 'the truth' is actually true then it is the future and the creatures are deformed humans any Wayward Pines is a remnant of humanity. It may yet turn out to be a lie but there is a new guy who says he woke up after yet another car accident and saw lots of 'pods' and they were 'full' presumably of people.

Great ep, it came together nicely.

So is the doctor able to travel back to 2014(15?) to select people? Seems like he does and that people from our time are placed in stasis pods and then awakened in the future.

But Dillion's wife's car was at Wayward pines, so that doesnt fit well. The old Sheriff also met her in our time. More holes.
