re: Wayward Pines TV show (Fox )- discussion thread- HODOR only no spoilers

That was just a strange show. Can't wait for two weeks. 25th i think

No sooner did I ask questions than they get answered.

So the Doc, Sheriff & Nurse are/were all in on this from the earliest days? I wonder how they all tie together (especially the Sheriff since he didn't seem to have any medical experience).

We know the Abbies were around by 2095 (the date on the coin). I think that's a good approximate time to use for when they showed up (maybe go back another 50 years or so to give them time to grow their numbers enough to become an extinction-level threat). I'm willing to bet ol Doc is the one that created them in the first place.

We know there are lots more people in hibernation but they only seem to come out to keep the population at a certain level. Why? Why aren't they pushing to expand the boundaries of the WP project so they can bring out more people and work to reclaim the Earth?

They have a helicopter and firearms, why aren't they hunting the Abbies that come near the site?

What kind of precautions are in place in case an Abbie gets in?

I don't see how the date of the coin indicates when the abbies appeared. I thought the only purpose for the coin was to prove that the people in Wayward Pines were at a time in the future well after 2095.

The date is significant because that's the last year they minted coins (the teacher mentioned this). In other words, that's around the time the shite hit the fan so hard that humanity itself went down the shitter. Think how far we would have to fall as a country for coins to never be printed again, then apply that to the entire world (as far as we know).

I find it hard to believe that this guy could not only figure out a genetic evolution (or devolving as the case may be) and its endgame a thousand years in the future, but then be able to convince the government enough to sanction basically kidnapping folks, freezing them, and then covering it up (it seemed like the Secret Service was in cahoots with him since they were obviously trying to cover up his wreck).

Don't blame the messenger. That's what teacher said.

This is what I'm thinking. I don't think the guy figured out that humans would devolve and wipe out the rest of the humans. I think he and the government created them to "thin the herd" so to speak, and create a better society.

That's a pretty solid theory. I agree that there has to be some pretty hardcore evidence for the Dr to garner that kind of support so early on.

This is shamalammadingdong. I'm not taking anything at face value. Maybe it's the year 4000 maybe not. Who froze the Doc, who unfroze him? How is he still alive if he's been running this project from the beginning? Can he time travel? Maybe the town is in a time dialation bubble. I'm not convinced of anything yet. Why kill people for asking questions. Just tell people the truth, most would be grateful to be alive. Some things just aren't adding up.

You're letting the chronology of the story-telling dictate to you the actual chronology of events.

Taking what we know at face value here's what probably happened...

As I was about to explain this, something didn't make sense...

The gal that was Reckon'd... She mentioned she was doing Y2K work in the area when she woke up in WP. Could it be that the Doc (along with major government help) had created this program in response to the collapse he thought Y2K would bring? If so, that puts planning back a bit but allows for a whole extra decade worth of abductees and is the only way her presence makes sense.

So going with this theory Y2K is a big bunch of nothing. Doc is able to BS the government for another decade but people are getting antsy about the costs of his program. In order to justify it he creates the Abbies.

Now that I am thinking on it more, it may have gone on much longer than that. The gimped real estate guy was roofied in the hotel room by the nurse, but the nurse did it when she was young and hot (per the guy's claim, and when he woke up she was old). Let's say she was 25. The city seems to have been up and running for around a decade or so (20 years max) due to how much the agent chick had aged. The nurse appears to be in her late 50's/early 60's and she abducted the real estate guy somewhere around 2000. So the program likely started somewhere in the 90's (around 95, but maybe as early as 1990).

So the Doc, the nurse and the guy that would become the Sheriff all work to bring people into the program and they do this for years. So when Doc is talking to Matt Dillon's partner, the partner is aware of the program and that the other agents are in hibernation already. He's concerned that the wife and kid are going to uncover something so he makes arrangements with Doc to have them brought in as well.




Here's where I was originally going, Bosceaux:

At some point Doc, Sherrif & Nurse all end up going into hibernation also. We'll see other stories of things they did in 2014, but those are all flashbacks.

They said it was 4028 right? Is it a coincidence that this is exactly double the number 2014 (the year where show starts to take place)? Just something I wondered.

Who maintained the barrier to keep the abbies out. I really like this show but am kinda waiting for a Village like twist. 2K is a long damn time to hope your shite doesn't fail during the apocalypse.

You've already said it best... it's Shamalamadingdong. A lot of things WON'T add up. Just enjoy it for what it is.

If I promise to vote for Hilary, will you stop watching this show?

To me it seems that the mutation was due to climate change and the earth rejecting the human species by creating a mutation that devolved our species into a state that allows for the regeneration of earth.. The doc figured out what was happening and convinced the government to create wayward pines as a reboot for the species.
