The ‘Wayward Pines’ Finale Twist That Stunned Fans
The association of producer M. Night Shyamalan made everyone assume that Wayward Pines would end with some kind of mind-blowing twist.
Furthermore, M. Night Shyamalan told Deadline that he and Blake Crouch “do have an idea”.
While Ethan and Kate are busy fending off the blood-thirsty killers, Nurse Pam tries to reason with a far-gone David Pilcher regarding his decision to cut off electric supply. Ethan works on evacuating the town, while simultaneously militarizing. He thinks they can just start the process over again, and not that his experiment has failed as a whole. At another time and place, people might’ve followed Pam to freedom, but instead she’s tased and stunned. Apparently, “Cycle” is the last of “Wayward Pines” that we will see. Did anyone else fear for Ethan’s life at this point? “They felt the adults would just be their downfall”.
The Fox series garnered a steady number of viewers throughout its first season run, but some were not impressed with how show ended. It could either be set with the same surviving cast or in the future with the first generation of Wayward Pines now fully grown adults trying to protect the mystery of the town from their kids.
For next week, the fans of the hit TV Series on Fox entitled “Wayward Pines” will cater to their last season finale for the series. Thus, they decide to go under “cryogenic sleep”. It’s a moment that feels heavy onscreen, even being almost devoid of dialogue.
“Mistresses“, 9 p.m. (ABC): Sleeping with the boss’s mistress unexpectedly leads Harry to a new career venture; Karen enters uncharted territory in her relationship; April tries to get over issues from her past. His attempt at playing God has fallen quite short, in spectacular megalomaniacal fashion. The one thing I’m fearful of television is its open-ended nature.
Episode 9 sees the death of some of the residents of Wayward Pines, including Harold, at the hand of Jason, who claims to be “first class of the Academy”. It’s been apparent for a few episodes now, in fact. The Secret Service agent sacrificed himself to blow up the elevator shaft and kill the horde of Abbies who had gotten inside the bunker. (Even with Ben stupidly being knocked unconscious by falling debris.). Honestly, last nights bold finale smartly left Wayward Pines open for a second season.
Unfortunately, as we soon see, the “best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men” went astray. A mammoth statue of Pilcher has been erected in the square, with the titled “David Pilcher; Wayward Pines Visionary”, emblazoned on the statue’s name plate. He encounters Wayward Pines the way his father did, implying that things change, but they stay the same.
So there you have it, folks. “Wayward” was already summer’s top-rated scripted program in adults 18-49 with a 1.92 rating in “live+3”, and its finale should also stand as the full week’s No. 1 scripted original in “live plus same-day”.
