By Leslie Nesbit
To recap before the recap: Episode 1&2, Episode 3, Episodes 4&5 (Cast Photos), Episode 6, Episode 7, Episode 8&9
The Season Finale: Bedtime Story.
Are you ready for this!? The season finale of Wayward Pines! Oh shit! Can we even believe it’s been 10 weeks? I can’t! I’m too old to see time like that anymore! Years go by too fast, what am I doing with my life?!
I’m ready for this “Bedtime Story”:
The Abbies are about to fuckin’ attack, you guys. There’s thousands of them and only a couple regular humans. And their plans of taking a good freeze-nap are in the shitter because the freeze-tubes are broken and not everyone can go.
What will we DO!?
Okay, first of all, I assumed Jason had died last episode because he bled all over the mini-Wayward Pines. But they got him to the hospital and are trying to save his life.
Okay. The Abbies have a plan. Little did Pilcher know, the Abbies have a fuckin’ CITY built because this is their time and of course they do.
Wayward Pines gives the call to all the people to come be frozen together, so they are all making their way to the mountain.
……..Jason dies. Kerry killed her son/lover.
“The best way to honor him, is to fulfill his wish...to survive” - Yedlin.
Hey, remember that young doctor who sucks? He’s calling out Yedlin and saying he didn’t save Jason on purpose. Mysteriesssss!! Did he? Did he not?
Oh NOW, the young doctor is somehow figuring that Kerry and Jason have something to do with each other because they have the same blood type.
CJ and Yedlin are discussing the pros and cons of picking people to put in the freeze-tubes. CJ says that there are still 300 people they haven’t woken yet. SEASON 3?!
Yedlin approaches Kerry and basically lets her know that Jason was her son. And I’m sure there was a better way of doing it than he did, I think he was a bit mean about it.
Man, I’m not sure what you’d do if you found out you were totally in love and having a sexual relationship with your son, but I’m pretty sure I’d go ahead and walk slowly into a lake. Kerry pukes. Seems appropriate.
I’m going to say this. Everyone is letting Yedlin be the leader now, but he’s totally against all of this and hates the town and I’m not sure that’s a good idea. CJ should be the leader. He woke up every couple hundred years and saw all of this and he’s calm and nice and knows what he’s doing. WHY CAN’T HE BE LEADER?
It doesn’t make for good drama. I get it.
The army is getting people split up into 2 groups. As usual, the army is unnecessarily violent against Group 2. Did anyone TELL them to be so mean? They don’t have to be mean.
Ha, so the architect, Rebecca is in Group 1. And they let her walk out the door and her Wayward Pines husband, Xander, follows her. The army lets him pass juuuuuust enough and tells him to stay behind. This is what I mean. Coulda been nice and told him before he walked out.
What I’m trying to say is the army is mean.
The freeze-tubes are almost full. (They call them pods, I call them freeze-tubes). And CJ comes to give Yedlin a pep talk.
The Abbies are still gathering. I feel like they’ve been gathering for about 5 of the 10 episodes. I just want some Abbie Action!
All right, so it looks like Group 2 (who was told they were a group to be frozen, but really...not) is rioting in the streets. I’d full on riot in the streets if I was Group 2. I’d take all the food and candy and movies, then I’d find the biggest house and hunker down.
OMG. Yedlin is going to sacrifice himself to save the TOWN!? His plan? Since Pilcher saved some horrible diseases (why), Yedlin will inject himself with them and walk out into the Abbie crowd. I like this idea. This idea is great.
Hey. So. Did CJ and Yedlin think that Group 2 wouldn’t riot? Yedlin comes and picks up Xander and a kid to bring them to safety, but before they can two Group 2s have a molotov cocktail! They are ready to kill everyone! Xander has a gun! He shoots them! Ah HA! Suck it rioters!
Oh, wait. They’re regular people that didn’t get picked and had no one to save them like YOU did, Xander!
Xander is saved and reunites with Rebecca. In front of families that have been split up. Way to rub it in XANDER.
Why do I have it out for Xander?
Kerry decides not to be saved. She’s pretty wrecked, you guys.
Rebecca comes to hug and thank her past-husband Yedlin.
Kerry found Yedlin’s confession of how he is going to take out the Abbies. She DOES IT INSTEAD! She says “You’re needed here, we need more people like you. And less like….my son” DUN DUN DUN.
Yedlin gives a rousing speech to the people that are in space suits and they gather in the freeze-tubes. Meanwhile a DAD that got told he was in Group 2 is just without a family now.
JEEZ XANDER.
Oh WAIT. OH MY GOD. They show the dad! They didn’t forget about him! AAAH NOO he kills himself. OH man. That’s the worst.
The Abbies have still not attacked, which is super nice of them to wait until everyone is safe inside their freeze-tubes.
CJ pushes the button. They are all now asleep.
Cut to an Abbie holding a baby.
END.
WAIT. WAAAAAAIT. WHAAAATTT. Season Finale? Come on. I feel like it needs 2 more episodes. BOOOOO. BOOOOOOOOOOO. I was enjoying it and there is no more. And next season is going to be different! BOO. All the Abbies did in the end is roar and stand there! That’s all they did! You can’t introduce an Abbie city in the last episode and not do anything with it!!!!
Gah.
Pffft.
Well I enjoyed the season, but not the end. What can ya say. Good times gotta end sometime. Now that that’s over...what should I watch? Looks like they put The Strain on Hulu! I read the book…perhaps the show is good too! This won’t disappoint me! WILL IT!?
---Hi! Since my recaps of Wayward Pines are over, like my facebook for some great laughs! I have some other great stuff planned here too! Keep coming back! Thank you for reading!
Until next time, friends!
