If you guys remember my previous post on the previous episode's thread, you'll remember that I said-
Well, how about that?
Didn't read the books, just pure reasoning. And come on guys, why are most of you disappointed by this episode? It's simple, the Doctor was 100% sure about his theory. And he was just mad enough to save the human race-- people are on a very wide spectrum. If you knew what the Doctor knew and believed it, some of you might not have cared for your future generation's life but some of you might just have. Environmentalists want to preserve fossil fuel and it's not like we are gonna ever face shortage in our lives but still, there are some people who want save rivers, trees and stuff. It's a completely okay thing and understandable. If he had the resources, why shouldn't he have saved them. With the reason out of the way, the people who have problems with the science behind it, well, Walking Dead happened.
And have you guys considered that this will probably happen if you believe in Darwin, that is. I mean, not the cryogenics part (who knows? US government has a lot of top secret stuff going on) but the mutation. Think about it, the way resources are getting scarcer everyday, one day mankind might just go straight into apocalypse with collapse of society, people doing everything to survive just like animals. And animals, they become after some point.
I saw some posts saying that why are so many unnecessary peeps required and why weren't the people who actually had survival instincts were only recruited/abducted. Well, it's simple, you can't have pack of men with guns running around fighting monsters, that's not how a civilisations are formed. The previous generation always know less stuff than the next. If it was fitted into the tiny brains of apes that the earth is round and space exists, they absolutely would have gone crazy. As the doctor said, change is gradual.
And now, I'm actually surprised with how I much I feel sad for Pope, how differently I feel about the nurse and the doc. It would be interesting to see how Ethan becomes the secretive "Welcome to Wayward Pines" sinister Sheriff that he hated in the beginning, but this time, I'm rooting for sinister. At least, his son wouldn't hate him.
I can't really complain, this is by far, the best crafted story I've seen in years. I hope they don't "Lost" it.
