Wayward Pines

[Asgard]

Heck of a finale.

Kind of saw the ending coming though.

 

[Travesty]

Did you find it online or something? I thought the last episode was on tonight?

 

[Asgard]

Yeah I got it online.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Dr Manhattan : nothing never ends.
Fine final for a mini series.

 

[antsman41]

The finale was ok, and then the last 3 minutes happened and pissed me off.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

The finale was ok, and then the last 3 minutes happened and pissed me off.

same here... why, oh, why, did they HAVE to insert that ending?!?

 

[Travesty]

It was just an ok ending. Definitely not horrible, but it wasn't anything great.

 

[ares834]

What the **** was that?! Those final few minutes ruined the series. Awful, absolutely awful.

And I loved the rest of the show as well...

 

[Webfoot Hero]

That ending was kind of a dud. I don't know why they ended with the first generation a-holes being the ones who took over and all the previous awakened were put back. It felt like a waste to follow that group then for most of tonight just to see them put back and not show them be the ones to rebuild Wayward Pines in a way that was different from Pilcher.

 

[zeroapoc]

If this was the end of the series, then horrible ending.

 

[squeekness]

Nobody likes happy endings anymore.

 

[Sensi]

I agree. The finale was good until the very end.

 

[Man in the Suit]

They probably just made the ending like a season finale not knowing Fox would sit on the show for like 2 years and then market it as a "limited series."

 

[TheBat812]

I thought it was a great ending. It was interesting to see that Pilchner's plan of brainwashing the kids with his crazy ideology worked. It was truly a new generation of human society that he created, such that they killed off the old way of thinking that was 'stuck' in the past life. Not that his way was right, but they all believed in it, like a religion of sorts. Reminded me alot of Bioshock Infinite in that way of societal acceptance of horrible traditions and ways.

 

[souvlaki]

Yeah, I liked the ending as well. After reading about it it was interesting to find out that M. Night planned out the last scene to be a shot for shot match of the first episode only from the son's perspective. And they have discussed a second season btw, and have a few ideas of where to take the show even though M. Night said he had initially planned this as a miniseries from the beginning. Apparently it was Fox's second biggest show this summer so they will likely bring it back.

 

[Marvolo]

They probably just made the ending like a season finale not knowing Fox would sit on the show for like 2 years and then market it as a "limited series."

Yeah that final bit was definitely not a series finale ending. That was an obvious hook for a second season.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

That's definitely a hook in case they want to continue but I get an Under the Dome feeling like they'd be trying to spread a simple premise way too thin.

The show itself was alright, great cast but the reveal was pretty ho-hum. I was into it while the mystery lasted but afterwards just felt bored. I guess I expected something more interesting (or weirder)

 

[Destructus86]

I would be shocked if they don't renew it. Apparently the ratings were fantastic.

Production

Wayward Pines is executive produced by Chad Hodge with M. Night Shyamalan, Donald De Line and Ashwin Rajan. The pilot episode was written by Hodge and directed by Shyamalan.The series was officially picked up on May 13, 2013 with a ten-episode order. Filming took place between August 19, 2013 and February 14, 2014 in Burnaby (interiors) and Agassiz (exteriors), in British Columbia.
The plot of Crouch's first novel in the trilogy, Pines (2012), is covered over the first five episodes of the TV series. The second and third novels, Wayward (2013) and The Last Town (2014), make up the remaining five episodes. After reading the source material Shyamalan said of the project, "As long as everybody isn't dead, I'm in", his "only rule" to secure his participation. He noted that the TV series varies from the books in some ways, but as Crouch was still writing the novels while the show was in development, there was "all kinds of cross pollinating" between the two.
In June 2015, it was announced that a second season was being considered based on the series' ratings, which included a record Live+3 DVR lift for a Fox network premiere. However, the tenth episode was billed as the series finale, rather than the season finale, effectively ending the series.

 

[Marvolo]

A week before the episode aired the guide said it was the season 1 finale. But the day before it aired it said it was the series finale.

So Fox essentially canceled this.
