Wow, I was really into this series. The anticipation of the finale was so great that I re-read the Wayward Pines trilogy over the preceding weekend.
I had accepted the liberties/license taken which is typical of adaptations. Most changes were minor and forgivable. Not so, with the episode 10.
spoiler alert - This episode was so greatly different as to trivialize the entire storyline. There wasn't enough time in a single episode to put the book's conclusion in place, but what we got was nowhere near the author's original story.
The dispositions of most of the principal characters were completely different. As was the disposition of the entire town. The changes seem to be in place in order to force a second season. Even FOX found this to be a bad idea and decided to NOT fund a second season. Good Call, FOX.
Episode 10 was a corruption, an abomination, an aberration. Episode 10 should have been titled - ABBIE.
