Wayward Pines [** Spoilers **]

I'd be willing to bet we're going to be seeing more of Terrence Howard and Juliette Lewis yet, pure speculation here but the storyline has been pretty crazy so far so I'm thinking there'll be some kind of reset or alternative-version town introduced soon. Or something equally bizarre thrown in to justify their return. It'd be strange to have relatively big movie stars as recurring characters and series regulars only to go out in the first 2-3 episodes.

Sure, maybe it's the twist factor of "wow I never saw that coming" or "woah I can't believe they've been killed off!" but I'm hoping for more (even though I find the sheriff character loathsome and not in a love-to-hate-ya kind of way, and I hope he's gone for good). I'm at least expecting to see them in flash-back sequences. But I have no idea what to expect to be honest, the whole thing is bonkers but compelling to watch purely because we want to find out what the hell is happening.

The story is moving along pretty quickly it seems and I can't imagine Ethan will decide to settle down and bide his time, so I think we as viewers should be getting some form of explanation for why the town exists soon. Hopefully it'll be somewhat satisfying while maintaining enough mystery to keep us glued and hungry for more.

and it seems that there actually is a town called Wayward Pines as evidenced by the kid giving wifey directions but it is it just a normal town which may be a portal to this alternative town?

I think the kid in the shop and the worker were a plant.Did we see those same kids earlier on?Was it E01 or 02 that they passed by on bikes?

Oh. My. God

Another great episode. I think next week is a biggie. Expect some answers.

I think the big question is not so much where are they but what year or even century are they really in

Yeah I definitely think that there has been two timelines up until now. What's happening in Wayward Pines is the "real" timeline and the stuff with Ethan's family was in the past.

It doesn't explain how they got there but it would explain how he couldn't get through to them on the phone, and why Kate genuinely seems to have been living there for so long. Kate also definitely knows what's happening and seems to be on the sheriff's "the truth is more disturbing" wave length.

I say this now, next week will probably throw all that out the window :pac:

Dont forget about nurse Pam being about 30 years older when that guy woke up in the hotel .
So its probably at least 2030 perhaps later.

So he said, but he was drunk, remember.

Thing that goes against teh alternate timeline with Kate being there so long, don't forget Beverly thought she was only there about a year when it was something like 19 years

This is true. I'm thinking it has something to do with what happens between being kidnapped/leaving their real lives and ending up in Wayward Pines. But I really don't know. Freezing/time travel/ aliens... Too many options :pac:

Although, whatever the hell that thing was at the end does make it seem more like another planet or really, really far into the future?

So confused.

So far, it's like a really long multi-episode story from the Outer Limits. :pac: It's bonkers, but I'm gripped. And when the answers to the mysteries start to reveal themselves, I'm just going to enjoy them, good or bad!

Yes that's exactly what it reminds me of more so than twin peaks or lost, outerlimits or night gallery or twilight zone. It's got that old fashioned puzzle meets drama thing.

Anyone watched that related Gone programme? Does it spoil the show at all?
