This show better not continue to be spoiled by the netflix trailers. If I'm going to be dramatically let down again by Shamalakalakahdahn, I want it to happen naturally.

So did everyone bail on this show?

I still need to watch the last episode, but I was just surprised no one has commented on the last episode.

I'm still watching it. There's nothing else really on at this point of the tv season, so I'll continue with it until they do something really stupid on the show.

Just watched the pilot. I'll give it at least one more episode but this looks like a miscast ripoff of The Prisoner dressed up like Twin Peaks.

There have only been 4 episodes. Six more to go.
I am all in now. I have no idea how it's going to end. But I love the plot twists and turns.

It's a weirder and more suspenseful 'Fargo', albeit in an entirely different setting....

Watched this on Monday while I was nursing a sunburn and ... what the frick??

We have a town surrounded by a giant-assed electrified wall that houses some sort of wolf monsters and a shite-ton of old vehicles. And did I mention time is askew? And that the residents are fine with public throat-slicings?

And what does the nurse have to do with all of this? How high up the food chain does it go?

And how is the shrink able to go in and out of the town with no issue?

And why has that one house been allowed to fall into such disrepair?

And what the hell was that criter/person/thing on the mountain?

So many questions...

Ok, I didn't see that coming.

But if they are in the future, how did the black sheriff seemingly go back in time to cause Ethan's family's accident?

And how has that Jenkins guy been around long enough to create the ark, and basically stayed alive for what, 2000+ years?

If he has set up the cryo program (or whatever) he prob had control over who was selected, and could "hibernate/awaken" whenever he wanted.

This show is pretty freaking awesome but, I don't get how in the first or second episode wasn't the doc in Seattle talking to Matt Dillion's boss while Matt Dillon was in wayward pines? I'm having a hard time figuring that one out.

I'm pretty sure the Doc was in WP and Rourke's boss was in Seattle and they were talking on the phone and the Doc said 'It's not going well.'

I might be remembering it wrong.

No, Pritchard met the Agent in person if I remember correctly. Yeah, I don't get the whole time shift with that as one example. And didn't horrible actor, Dillon go through a hibernation? Wouldn't his wife and son be much older? I was ready to give up on this show but I have to admit I'm intrigued by the future existence idea, just guess I have to allow for some serious suspension of disbelief.

But for him to know that the cryogenic program was even needed means that he was originally living in the time when the human race was about to go extinct. So how did he go back in time to start the program?

The teacher said last night that he foresaw the problem coming. I guess he got enough investors to buy in at that point, started the ark and a list of the chosen one's.

Not really. Their accident was a week after his so they were all frozen around the same time and then woken up around the same time.

Agent Mistress is older than Dillion because they woke him up later than her. Same with Pete. Pete had been there a decade longer than Dillion because he was woken up a decade earlier.

Maybe the boss was talking to pre-frozen doc as they were trying to get Dillion and his family frozen. It almost seems like they allowed the mom to hack into the system to see where Dillion was so they could get them too.

Pre-frozen Sheriff was already in on it too hence he was in disguise as a trooper and waiting for them.

I assume everyone has to be in "accidents" before they're frozen because they can't become kidnap victims if everyone else in the present thinks they're dead.

So my theory was pretty spot on. I don't read books, and I never read any spoilers so I'm pretty impressed that I nailed it as I did.

Also the wife is kind of good looking. Don't know why but she kind of does it for me.

don't put HODOR in a non-GOT thread, it's confusing.

That episode was nuts. I'll definitely stick with it for a while.
