Z is for San Diego Zoo where Ross finds out about Marcel's fate.

It's interesting that you mentioned Pope and his ice cream fetish because it made me think that he came from a much older time (a time when ice cream was still relatively new.) What made it more significant to me was when he mentioned rum raisin -- a flavor first introduced in the early 1930s. And in a way, the way he's dressed in his sheriff's uniform and all speaks old school to me as well. I don't know, maybe Pilcher and Pope are from that era...Pilcher either discovered or created the mutating gene around this time or even earlier for biological warfare (funded by the government perhaps?) but didn't go as planned. So that was when he thought of creating WP and started building it around that time which would explain the odd mix of really old structures (the hospital, the toy store, etc) to new ones (the coffee shop and academy). It does take a long time to build a place such as WP even with the fences alone. And the cemetery is also an indication that WP is not newly inhabited but was previously inhabited by a good number of people (when they started living in WP AND how long they have been dead is a mystery though.). But it also brings to question the need to even freeze these people to supposedly save the human race if they still carry that gene which makes turning into abbies inevitable. And what makes it even more interesting is why freeze them for 2,000 years exactly? Why not just a hundred years or less than 2,000 years? Why choose to awaken them during the time when the abbies already exist and normal humans are at the bottom of the food chain? Unless...unless they are looking for a cure and the only cure is within the abbies themselves which is sort of like creating anti-venom which relies on extracting venom from the poisonous creature and chemically transforming it to neutralize the poison. Obviously in 2,000 years there will be no one to cure because of the "devolution" so it became "necessary" to freeze people to which they will attempt to cure. And maybe the only ones that can be cured are the 1st and 2nd generation carriers? Ok I'm rambling but really, so many questions and It's quite hard to determine which details of the show to believe and which ones to doubt. http://youtu.be/Z4GRGv0kVg0

From the very beginning of this show Ethan was treated very differently compared to the residents of Wayward Pines. Beverly just slipped and mentioned that she had a daughter and got her throat slit. Peter just did graffiti on the wall and got reckoned. But how many times did Ethan disregard the rules of WP and not get a single punishment? He even got promoted to sheriff after killing Pope. I think Ethan has a very significant role to this whole puzzle and from the pilot it was obvious that David Pilcher wanted him in WP -- stressing his importance during that conversation one rainy day. But what could be his importance? I don't think it's to handle the community of WP...I think he will play a big role of what's outside the walls of WP. He may even have some sort of connection with the abbies...in what way I don't know.
