What was the significance of "there are no crickets in Wayward Pines?" I keep going back to this. My first thought was that it was simply an example of how fake and manufactured the town is - they don't have real crickets, so they pipe in cricket noise. But it might be more than that. What if there are no crickets because there can be no crickets - that is, because they would not survive? Have we seen any pets or other animals in Wayward? I can't remember, but if not that would support the notion that this place really isn't suited to support life. Which, by extension, means that the "people" in Wayward are not people, or they've been modified in some way. This could also explain the obsession with ice cream, buffalo burgers, fish, etc. All animal products that are a real novelty if you live in a place where animals cannot exist. A few non-sequiturs about Bill Evans: - If he was reckoned, why did his Wife lie to Ethan? It doesn't seem that the powers that be were ever trying to hide the notion of a reckoning from Ethan. Was it because she was ashamed to have a husband who was reckoned? - Why did they store his body in that house, and in that fashion? I kinda understand what they did with Beverly's body to display it for all to see as a lesson, but his was hidden away, yet also displayed in a gruesome fashion. Was that just "for" Ethan? I don't think so cause he wouldn't have found it on his own and Pope seemed pretty annoyed that he found it at all. Ooooohhhh was it there as some sort of a sacrifice to the beings behind the wall?! I don't think so, but that just popped into my mind so I thought I'd include it.

That's it! I was not sure about the bumper of his family's car, but the windows on the back of the van seemed totally frosted/frozen over, which put me over the edge on the substance covering the bumper. We may have also seen his breath, but I can't be sure about that.

Love these theories - I'm particularly interested in the numbers theory. I had a thought a few weeks back and I'm curious to know what others think about it. What if we're dealing with an Edge of Tomorrow like situation? This theory is mostly influenced by Juliette Lewis' line "I've always believed you." Even with the cryo/pop theory, that line only makes sense if she has met him before. What if these things are on a repeat cycle of some sort, and when you die you go away for awhile and restart? That would explain the time confusion and would explain her having some previous experience with Ethan. It would also explain why the rules are so strictly against discussing the past. There are some holes in it, to be sure, but it's a thought.

Hey all! Glad to find this forum! My wife watches the show with me, but she doesn't like analyzing and dissecting the show bit by bit as much as I do! Am I the only one who thought it was frost covering Ben and Theresa's car instead of dust? I have some more to add, but to stay thread-appropriate, I'll take those thoughts to the No Spoiler Theory Thread.
