Why I liked it: Wayward Pines Episode 7
Everyone! I just finished Mr. Robot. Wow, is that a good show.
Anyway, back to Wayward PInes.
Wayward PInes! Episode 7. Also known as “Will the Female Abbie do ANYTHING this episode?”
Interesting. We get a recap of why Wayward Pines is here. An introduction. As if I forgot after 7 episodes what Wayward Pines was. Hey, I am enjoying this show, but let's face it. No one just joins at the 7th episode!
April 19, 2034 (The Past):
OH Snap! CJ, the crop man awakens! Why? Hmm...it seems there is a gym and a place for him to work. Ooo, he has control of everyone's chamber. He keeps them clean and tidys up around the place. Now he is playing a game of chess...perhaps it will be a game played over 2000 years? He watches the world destroy itself on 9 televisions. A virus is destroying the earth. Watches the sunset…
And freezes himself again.
What an AWESOME OPENING, YOU GUYS.
Yedlin has come for the female. He looks for the “brand on her palm” a tip we heard about last episode.
Yedlin YELLS at Megan - like “Hey dude, you are stupid. This female is here for some reason and you’ve had her here for how long? We need to communicate!”
Megan tries to be human for a second and apologize for Yedlin's wife marrying someone else. She has no people skills.
Yedlin starts training this female Abbie….Trying to teach her what basically is another language in 3 minutes. 4 words: Yes, No, Friend, Leader. He makes a good point. When you are in another country you can tell who is in charge, who is a good person, etc. I believe that.
CJ wakes again. Things are dustier...it’s 2514. He exercises, he makes a move on his chessboard. He puts a coin in a jar. He starts talking to the files as if they were people. He checks the TVs. There are 2 channels. There is only 1 radio station.
CJ takes a hike around outside to take samples and do his due diligence. A human with clothing surprises him. He speaks English. His name is Griffin. They talk:
“Where do you come from?”
“Yes...it used to be beautiful”
“Have you lost someone?”
“Hasn’t everyone?”
BOOM. Griffin catches a fish with his bare hands. They cook the fish and Griffin has some sort of nightmare. CJ does the right thing and GETS THE FUCK OUT.
Griffin finds him! Griffin needs help! CJ can’t help him...and has no other choice but to...KILL HIM? WTF DUDE?
CJ says “All I can save you from is what's coming next”
Wow...this episode, you guys.
FUTURE:
Megan thinks it's dumb luck that the female might be able to talk. So Yedlin says, give her a treat. She hands the female the treat and she points to the other Abbies. “Give it to THEM”.
Yedlin says “She’s putting the lessers above herself”...which means she's THE LEADER? SHIT. YES.
Yedlin tries to convince Megan that the Abbies have the numbers, they know what they’re doing, and they will win.
CJ wakes up. He’s much more tired this time. No radio stations. Looks at his calendar chalkboard...it's 3215….WOW. He’s been waking up every 30 years or something like that. Things are much more quiet. He doesn’t open the windows. His chess game is almost done. He imagines his wife...awww he’s been playing chess against his wife this whole time. He asks if it's “time to go” with his wife. She says “you can’t come with me, you have miles to go”. She says “it's your job to be here”. He doesn’t want to be alone. He second guesses himself.
You guys, if the fireworks weren’t going off outside I would be super into that scene.
Adam runs into the laboratory. “Get her out of here!” He says that the Abbies are growing in numbers outside and they need to release her right now.
Megan is, of course, real dumb about this and goes to the 20 year old to make a decision.
Yedlin says “I’m on your side, I’m trying to understand them”
Adam says “You’re too late”
CJ puts the last coin into the jar. Its 4014. He’s reached the end. He has dressed up. It's time to waken the people. Pilcher is there (jerk) and wonders if it's time to begin the construction. He says (with wonder) “I can only imagine what you’ve seen” like it's been fun and games this whole time. They walk out to the new world and it is beautiful. Pilcher sees a stick house. And an Abbie, who probably lives in the stick house. Pilcher thinks the virus should have killed everyone off by now, and orders that they just build their town on the Abbies settlement. Pilcher is basically like “aaah, no big deal, they’re stupid and we have guns”. HUMANS, UGH.
Everyone is back in the laboratory. Jason doesn’t understand why the Abbies have such beef with them.
The Female Abbie was THERE when Pilcher said to build the town on the settlement! Oh, she has a past grievance with them!
OH man. Carrie, is on the right side (which means she's sensible) and she says that we should somehow negotiate. Megan says “No, young lady, you weren’t even here when we started and you’re supposed to be a baby-maker not a person with a brain!” (I mean, basically)
CJ isn’t participating in the welcome back picnic. Megan is like “come on man, it's a new world!” CJ lays it out straight “I was there when the world fell, bitch”. He is having a hard time because he has a conscience and they destroyed a community just to build up another one.
We’re back at the part when the Female Abbie first gets into Wayward Pines. CJ sees people rioting. He sits down and starts….planning? Something?
Yedlin tries to tell the Female Abbie that Jason is the leader. He is talking to her and she responds. She points to Yedlin. Jason freaks out because nothing is working.
Yedlin wants the Abbie to understand that he is a friend. He backs up towards the other cages and unlocks one of the vicious Abbies. The Abbie attacks Yedlin! The Female Abbie screams and he stops attacking Yedlin!
AND THEN JASON SHOOTS ALL THE ABBIES BUT THE FEMALE. WHY IS HE THE LEADER OF WAYWARD PINES?
Carrie tells Jason that he needs to stop. But everything is ruined already, so what the hell.
Adam puts it plainly: “Here we are, at the end of days, and we can’t even take care of ourselves”
Megan is dumb again: “I don’t remember the old days, I can’t remember all of that, but I’m super excited that I’m here la la la”
Yedlin rolls his eyes: “The only animal in here was Jason.”
Megan: “I won’t believe anything about how they are related to us because I’m blah blah blah”
Yedlin: “I’m going to take a shower” He grabs the gun and has a super crazy look in his eye.
Jason and Carrie go to CJ to ask if they had awoken too soon. CJ don’t give a fuck.
Oh boy….Megan is at the computer and gets dizzy..Her calf has been sliced open!! (She didn’t know because she’s paralyzed) She’s bleeding out! How did that happen!? IT WAS THE FEMALE ABBIE! Yedlin somehow let her out when he went into the other cage!
YES! YESSSSSSS SHE KILLED MEGAN! Oh, that woman was getting on my nerves.
Now the Female Abbie is loose in Wayward PInes……..
