I guess they must have know about "the problem" for some time then because didn't Beverly say she got taken in or thought it was like 2000 or something..
Im having a hard time with the whole time jump. This many years later how would they still have parts for all of the cars and appliances. Gas. Electricity. If they have been up and running for 12 years at least they would have used up a lot of supplies, including the ice cream. Still seems far fetched to me.
If they can build and maintain that security wall and a facility like wayward pines I'm sure they can manufacture appliances and car parts and fuel and electricity no problem.

I thought it was time travel, too. The entire plot of hibernation doesn't really make sense to me. Why would people be put into hibernation for thousands of years, if they didn't know about these new creatures in 2014? Remember, regular society was still up and running around 2095. So did they randomly start putting people in hibernation in 2014, on the off chance that something like this would happen? And if so, how would they know there would be a city that was safe from such creatures?
I dunno, nothing is really adding up to me. Or maybe I'm missing something?
I thought it was mentioned that the Dr.Jenkins character predicted the mutation years in advance and thus put the Wayward Pines project in place. All it's inhabitants weren't taken in 2014, Beverly mentioned she was taken in 1999 (explaining why she ad no idea of the Y2K or 9/11) for instance.
What you didn't realize at the time is those two stories were separated by 2 thousand years. They weren't happening concurrently, you were just watching them that way.
Do you not remember that massive facility that Ethan broke into? The one where he found his wife's dusty abandoned car. How do you know they don't have refineries in there? You have no issue with cryo sleep, and that massive wall, and a million other crazy things but you draw the line at simple house hold items and ice cream and electricity? Come on, squeeks you cant be serious.
We don't know what sort of technology they have. Remember that the fall of civilization didn't happen until after 2095. Technology may have been more advanced than what we have in 2015 . The scientist who thought up Wayward Pines may have gathered all sorts of technology by waking up from cryosleep occasionally. He had to have had some sort of advanced technology to build that wall. And it's massive so there could be all sorts of machinery and fabricators in it. For all we know they could have entire automated factories in there or some futuristic star trek style materialised that just "prints" out whatever parts and stuff they need. And electricity isn't that hard to keep on if the town has a grid and the Wall is producing electricity which it clearly is so somewhere in it is something that's producing electricity.
Just gotta wait and see what's revealed as the show continues.
I'm trying not to read all the things you guys are saying about Episode 6 because . . . HULU abruptly stopped putting up Wayward Pines eps after #5!
Has anyone heard why this has happened? I can't find any mention of it on the HULU site, and usually when they stop streaming episodes of a show, they tell you that you will have to visit the network site . . . but even FOX is not making episode #6 available.
Oh, OK. I didn't realize a new episode didn't air last week.
From what little of the discussion here I saw, I thought people were debating a time jump/suspended animation thing that I didn't remember being spelled out in the last episode.
It's based off a book so if it were anything more than a season they would have to divert from the book. Also, why on earth would you not have bothered if you knew it was a miniseries? It's not like it's getting cancelled. It will have a beginning, middle and end. Honestly, I wish more networks did these instead of dragging out shows seasons longer than they should have.
Well, from what I understand (not really a spoiler but I will spoiler tag it anyhow)
the books end in such a way that they could potentially continue if they want to.
I just don't get the logic of not watching something because it's a miniseries and had been advertised as such since the beginning. I hope the miniseries or anthology format breaks out in the next few years because frankly most shows drag on way longer than they should. With anthologies and miniseries there is less chance for plot lines to become convoluted and a better chance for it to end with a satisfying conclusion. This is the type of show I could see heading into Lost and X-Files territory if it dragged on longer than a few seasons.
I watched up to ep 9 this week end.
An ok show, the leads are fine. The nurse could downplay the evil look and smile a bit, she doesn't seem in character like the rest of the people in the know. The son is annoying but that's how teenagers are usually portrayed.
The reveal was cool.
I don't get the Twin Peaks vibe, there is nothing otherworldly or weird characters in this show, it was just a bit odd at first. It felt more like Shyamalan The Village with The Prisoner flavor.

I don't mind anthology with some things. But imo this world and content is too large to be a miniseries. I thought this was being set up like a Lost type show. Survivors in a strange place with a bunch of mysteries and discoveries. A good mystery/scifi fantasy series. We'd have missed out on a lot of great television if Lost had been reduced to a single season miniseries.
And I doubt the showrunners were opposed to more seasons. If Fox had picked it up for a second season it would have probably continued so this is a cancellation as far as I'm concerned. The only way I'm going to be remotely ok with this is if all the main characters are killed, and even that isn't ideal. I'm betting it ends open ended tho,and if that happens then it's pretty much confirmed that the show would have went more seasons if Fox had allowed it to.
I feel the opposite, the premise seems like it has limited intrigue in terms of his particular story and the town. I could see them stretching it, but frankly I think they were smart to restrict themselves so they could finish off this story without needing to expand it. Like what they should have done with under the dome but didn't.
