I'm pretty sure they weren't trying to blow up the wall. I think they just wanted to kill the guards, get the keys, and then leave. Or wait for the guards to get eaten from under and go with them. Because Harold set a timer for ten minutes, which, according to Kate, is when the guards come.

Don't think he wants rapid growth. The town is tiny and they can hardly expand (Lot 33!) what with the mutant monsters walling them in. BTW- What ever happened to the mayor?

He's really passive and has no ideas.

This isn't a spoiler, right? Makes SO much sense. Either theory.

It stopped being creepy. It used to be creepy, now there are moments when it's scary (Read: monsters) but there are now more chilling scary things like Pam or clones because we KNOW it's all OK.

I guess now Ethan's sheriff he doesn't care about surveillance or anything. For the rest, no idea.

How scared are we of surveillance now?

No, don't broadcast. They can't know too many details, apparently. Just show them a mutilated arm or something.

Makes sense, although why wouldn't she then get pregnant? (I know it's kind of a big deal to have a baby, but if she assumed it was for the greater government good…)

They didn't, but it's a fair assumption. Kate had options, I doubt she would have picked the gay guy. They probably don't care if you're gay in WP as long as you have babies with a woman first.

Oh, of course. I think he just really took to heart not letting anybody know. Plus maybe she'd think she was brainwashed. Do they see helicopters in WP? Or airplanes?

So, does Pilcher plan on waking everyone up? And then there'll just be regular newcomers in subsequent generations who are doubters? He won't let any of the frozen people go, will he? Seems easier to do a few dumps and maybe keep a couple special people just in case so there aren't so many crazy scared curious people.

I wonder about Kate and Harold's relationship. They obviously protect each other and feel affection if not love, but did they not have kids because they never tried, or because they only wanted to get out, or as a rebel thing, or what? I can't tell if they got together to plan rebel activities better or to comfort…

Everything Pam says sounds very sexual. I hold to my incest theory, she's weirdly obsessed with her brother. And she was a prostitute seemingly in order to get one person into WP. And that nurse uniform. And her combat uniform in the helicopter. They're all little porn vignettes.

Go look back at the comments from the first four episodes. There's any number of things she could have believed. She probably just concentrated on getting out in the hopes that would answer all her questions.

How would she see/hear?

I think I mentioned this last episode, but I'm pretty sure Ethan is too attached to Kate to do that. He could, however, have let out Frank or someone. Take a secret video, show them a lesson. Although that would have far-reaching consequences. But Ethan is, first off, a nice guy, and second loved Kate enough to cheat…

What kind of pictures did they HAVE? Maybe they just took old porn pictures or something. Textbooks haven't changed much.

Oh my goodness, the next episode looks insanely good. I'm so excited. First off, I firmly believe that Ben will not die. In the next episode, Ethan didn't look absolutely distraught, and it seems like that would overshadow the rest of the show. Losing your only child isn't exactly a plot point. Plus, it would mean…

I know, ugh, those textbooks. I distinctly remember paging through Bio textbooks to find the Sexual Reproduction parts in elementary school. At least no teacher ever touched on that.
