I wouldn't notice or care if Jeremy and Lizzie just never appeared on the show again. They seem to be solely defined by their feelings about Rachel, which makes them incredibly boring characters.

I thought it was pretty clear that Rachel only went to Adam after she saw that Jeremy was staying with his fiancee. Calling her a slut implies that she just wants to have sex, but that's not what's happening. She wants to feel like she's not a monster and she wants to feel comforted.

Seriously, he should have recruited a real therapist instead of a hypnotherapist. Even just letting people walk around the complex and see the imprisoned mutant would have been more effective than whatever he was doing.

Yeah, the public executions would definitely make a lot more sense if there were still thousands of people in stasis. If everything they've said is the truth, then I'm going to need a lot more puzzles pieces like this before it starts to sound reasonable.

Yeah, I had to laugh when they were talking about the concept of an ark. Like, apparently the scientist only wanted to save white Americans? To be fair, there were a lot of non-white kids in the school/cult scene, but that really stood out to me.

Why wouldn't they just tell the adults? If they're worried about people killing themselves, they could use the bugs to prevent suicide instead of enforcing a set of arbitrary rules. The public executions also make no sense at all in this context… like, they're keeping people frozen for 2,000 years only to kill them…

Yeah, Michael seemed completely different in this episode. He was 100% snark and didn't seem to care about any of his friends. While I get that character development is a thing, I feel like he just completely reversed character for this one episode and then went back to relatively normal in the finale.

So my theory of the week is that they're being sent waaay into the future, "The Time Machine"-by-H.G.-Wells-style, where there are Morlocks (the aggressive creature that ate Sheriff Pope) and Eloi (the timid creature waiting at the top of the cliff). Wayward Pines would exist to provide human DNA for genetic…

Ah, I was mainly talking about alternate timelines in that traveling back and forth wouldn't splinter off a new timeline/universe or anything. I think that if you traveled back to the past, there would be a "younger version" and an "older/current version" of you in the same timeline instead of "You version A" in…

I've seen the cryogenic theory, and your timeline makes sense. I just feel like the way Sheriff Pope looked when pulling over Ethan's wife and son (presumably in 2014) compared to when he was fighting with Ethan beside the dusty cars (presumably beyond 2026) was almost exactly the same. I suppose the doctor and the…

I think there would be only be one version of each person without any alternate timelines, like in the fifth season of Lost (which I mention because this show gets compared to it a lot). Otherwise it might get too complicated for the show to deal with and explain (like the sixth season of Lost). (Funnily enough, I…

Okay, my new theory is time travel. I think the dust on the cars was a clue that Wayward Pines exists in the future. So the government could be sending people into a post-apocalyptic future at different times, and deceased characters would be able to return if they'd jumped into the future before returning to the past…

Oh, I get that, and I think the previous episode where Josh talked about valuing art over words was a good explanation for the scene. My issue is mainly that he did all of this without once being able to call Liza his girlfriend. At that point it's not really about whether he's able to express his feelings, it's about…

The "talk to Lori's doctor" part seemed so implausible that I immediately assumed Lori was somehow manipulating her doctor (like, sleeping with or blackmailing him), but I didn't see any hints of it in the episode.

So I was rewatching Bridget Jones's Diary the other day and realized that Charles is basically an American version of Darcy/Colin Firth, while Josh is the Hugh Grant commitmentphobe without the douchiness. (Bridget and Liza also both work as an assistant at a publishing house.) Obviously Younger has a different…

Maybe I've seen the Rimmerworld episode of Red Dwarf too many times, but Tina's cannibalism seemed mild/realistic in comparison to creating numerous clones to repopulate the planet.

I think it's interesting that there are rules, almost like a game. What if they're in a Matrix-type virtual reality? It would explain people basically respawning (assuming Beverly comes back) and the appearance/disappearance of his wife and son. The motel clerk prides himself on leveling up to his current position.…

The show did end up dealing with the cyclical nature of revenge to some extent this season. Emily spent a lot of effort trying to end the war with Victoria so that she could live in peace with her dad, and I'm pretty sure at least one character said some version of "when does this end?" or "this needs to stop!" in…

I think the writers caught on to people disliking Henry, because he's barely had any lines at all this season. The finale was an exception, but it seems like his character has mostly transitioned from 'annoying kid' to 'mild-mannered teenager'.

I think it's more like Futurama mixed with Red Dwarf:
