— Danielle Turchiano (@danielletbd) January 17, 2015MNight: we needed the landscape - that was a dominant visual for #WaywardPines. I mimicked Philadelphia buildings in Canada. #TCA15

I'm excited for this series!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Wayward Pines was always the most interesting series on FOX's slate. They pushed it back numerous times, so hopefully it can find an audience in the summer.
ReplyDeleteThis big reveal was given away in the trailer, released last May... I don't know why they're being so secretive about it.
ReplyDeleteIt's more than just the fences shown in the trailer. :D
ReplyDeleteYeah but I was halfway through the book when I saw the trailer and I immediately figured out what was most likely happening and I was right. So depending on the show itself and how they give out clues anyone who remembers that part is likely to have it figured out by the end of episode two. Or at least half of it. :)
ReplyDeleteI kinda spoiled myself with the books' synopsis on Barnes and Noble so I have an idea or two on what to expect.
ReplyDeleteBased on what I read on what happened on the show's TCA session, I don't think the series will be as self-contained as I thought it would be. I hope it's otherwise.
aliens? LOL
ReplyDeleteJust rewatched the trailer and it looks promising. It's nice to hear there will be some definitive answers halfway through the season.
