Red-headed Aspie

There's a frightening thought.

Maybe I missed something. Has this show ever addressed whether the genetic defect that caused the Abbies was universal or only effected a large portion of the population? Are the people in Wayward Pines defect free? Because if they possess the defect themselves, all of this seems pointless. Their genetic ancestral line is just going to devolve into the same monsters over time. That makes "saving humanity" seem pretty futile. But like I said, maybe this was mentioned and I just missed it.

I love this show. It's better than Sharknado. It must have been a real pain to pick that guy's name out of the contact list with those big lion claws.

Why did they make the lead character so unlikeable? I really can't stand her. In every scene, I can barely pay attention to what's happening because I'm so busy thinking about how much I dislike that character. It's 2015. Shouldn't we be past equating a strong, capable woman with a woman who is a total bitch? I would much prefer that she was just matter-of-fact about things, but there is an undercurrent of pouty nastiness to everything she says. Also, what kind of idiot doctor won't even attempt to schmooze a little to get a substantial donation that would likely improve patient care and possibly save lives? I love the subject matter of this show, but I'm giving the main character in this mess one episode to quit working my last nerve. Last night's plot wasn't as compelling as the pilot, but it was having to watch that irritable character in every scene that made me annoyed.
