anybody peeping this show? it's pretty sick, reminds me so much of Twin Peaks

10 episode series on Fox

been home after surgery and watched all 4 episodes, I am hooked. Def worth peeping.

 
I read the books and I'm glad they got the setting/environment/feel right in the show.

Carla Gugino is

Yeah i'm in, digging it so far. Only reason i'm in on this though is because it has a definite end, couldn't do the LOST thing again.



My theory though? the gov't chose and cryogenically froze some folks because of knowledge of an impending zombie apocalypse of their own doing, then created a safe new world, and rules to protect their horrible secret.
 
me and the wife watched a few episodes yesterday, we're feeling it so far, i'm curious to see how the story plays out, may have to read the books too.
 
I don't know if I forgot this show had a thread or never knew but wow.

This recent ep just spills all the beans :lol: :smh: I know it was a 10 ep event but I still felt M. Night might drag it out and I still think there's more twists to come.

As far as this truth, there are some clear inconsistencies here. While things like Lewis' character thinking it's still the 90s and Gugino's character saying she's been in Wayward for 12 years now make sense what doesn't is Burke's family finding him. They had already went to Idaho and were driving when Terrance Howard's ***** *** pulled that stunt with the oil and then they had the car crash where they woke up in the hospital. Before that she and her son were in the store and those kids even mentioned a car crash. That falls in line with ol Arnim Capote Zola talking with the secret service guy that set Burke up in the first place. You telling me he got cell phones that can call thousands of years in the past?

So I think they got a time machine on top of holding all of those ppl in stasis.

The twist itself is cool. I like little conspiracies like this can kinda could explain disappearances. The practical thing in real life is to assume these missing ppl are dead or switched identities but to think they've been abducted and are living in an apocalyptic future where only one town in Idaho survives is mind blowing.

I also feel it's not the smartest plan to treat the adults the way they do given the truth. It's one thing to not reveal that to them but to make them all feel like prisoners, to curb their attempts when they get suspicious and curious is just asking for trouble. Also public and unjustified murderers makes no sense at all. I can get the world went to **** so there's no law/rules for the ppl overseeing this but c'mon.

:lol: :rofl: @ "Abbies" That part was the hardest part to swallow. Kidnap you a seal team and a few special forces rangers along with burrying some heavy artillery and a few bombs in a hole to wipe those things out. So many ways to kill those things. Not accepting they're better killers than humans.

You got to pay attention to the details and Terrence Howard was already a kidnapper for them in 2014 so essentially they worked them into the plan once the mother and son got way too close and plus he had a son which would have benefited the community anyway so they just put them along with the plane which it seems like they do that with everyone that gets close to finding someone who is missing. Think about it like this to get away with that many missing people etc. they would have to have someone on the inside of the FBI which is his old partner. I do agree though they kinda spoiled it way too quick but this is Mnight movie PACKED INTO 10 episodes so I think it was probably meant to be a long film and then rewritten as a mini miniseries. I kind a like how to how the adults are in the dark and it is is a role reversal based on the fact that kids are so sheltered from the real world and rebel for freedom but once they find out how rough life is they can't handle it.

If you can get what I'm saying from that statement LOL but overall this was an amazing series hope it ends well
 
that plot twist was definitely unexpected but it was almost too much/too ridiculous. they could have done without the abbies.
 
Surprised @ the lack of responses.

I'm enjoying it so far.

Just finished episode 7.

Im still thinking they are still in 2015
 
I still dont understand how it could really be that far into the future.

Between the wife and son interacting with Terrance Howard before ending up in Wayward Pines, and the FBI guy talking to the leader...it confuses me. Are they for sure in the future or is it a cover up?
 
My girl got me watching, I'm on ep 5. **** is wild as hell.

That reveal in "The Truth" truth. And Ethan's face :lol:

Anybody read the books?
 
Just binged watched all the way up to ep9. Its def an interesting show. Kinda confused about the whole year thing. Dillions character and his family were just in Seattle like less then a week ago from what I could calculate. Def wasnt expecting ol dude to black out the town tho :wow:.

I was hoping it was a cover up, but now it's looking like it's really the future.

Not me, but like everything else in life book > show I'd assume.

I'm more confused about the motivation behind him not wanting people to know the truth more so then I am with the time issue.

I know he explained it but I don't get why people would go crazy.

If anything he's making people go crazy by basically holding them prisoner.
 
I forgot this show had a thread (that I even posted in) :lol:

The last ep was intense. Didn't expect those ppl to die like that.

:lol: @ Hope Davis getting smacked like that.

This season has been great. I just don't want to give M. Night too much praise until the conclusion. So far the set up, execution, twist have all paid off. Now it's just how he ends this with whoever he has writing these eps. Do they all break out and take their chances trying to kill all abbies? Do they accept their fate and stay in the town planning to rebuild civilization? A mixture of both?

Only thing is I don't see Burke as the future leader. Maybe for surviving and all that but not making a new society. Pilcher was right about a few things. Too bad he power tripping.

I almost wish this wasn't a limited series cuz there's a lot of potential for all of the hundreds of ppl still in stasis.

I understand it. They basically said it on the show. David Pilcher is a control freak. The writing has kept it short of blatantly giving him a GOD complex. Son is power tripping hard. That was already in him but when he started he was naive so he told the first group the truth. They mostly all went mad and killed themselves or tried to destroy the place. He didn't want to risk that cuz it basically ends what he sees as humanity's 2nd chance.

As for why the ppl in the first group freaked out. Think of it like this. What if all of a sudden you weren't allowed to leave your neighborhood? Then as you keep trying you stumble on the truth that you're on an alien planet and human civilization has been wiped out thousands of years ago? C'mon you know you gonna be contemplating committing that. The rush of fear in you could make most weak ppl crumble.

Pilcher goes the route of it's better that ppl just think this is some big gov't experiment or w/e conspiracy they can come up with so they can at least keep living. In his mind with such a focus on children he was just waiting for them to be adults and for the older ppl to just have kids and then die out.
 
Yeah, I get the shows explanation but, seems like everyone finds out the truth they just accept it lol

That's cuz this group has been lied to for like over 12 years. After being that stressed out and thinking the worse they just might be more willing to accept.

Had he not shut off the power to let the abbies in I bet some ppl still would've committed that despite the end of the last ep.
 
I wasted three months watching this show. Typical M. Night Shymalan ******** twist.

:lol: :rofl: Such a ****** up ending.

So somehow the 1st generation teens take over the town, overpower the adults and put them in stasis? AND get rid of the abbies?

I can't even say M. Night let viewers down with this ending. There was only so many ways this could've ended. Son on his GRRM steez with the no happy endings.

Only thing that was bull **** to me was Burke dying :lol: Complete stupidity to kill him off to set up that bleak ending.

I have never seen a show go from epic set up, to *** ending like this.

But why am I even surprised.

MNS is the biggest piece of **** in Hollywood.
