[Theo] is being used against his will.

Its almost as if he was dropped behind enemy lines in the Third Reich or something.

Patrics comparison to Nazi Germany isnt an exaggeration when it comes to the situation in Wayward Pines.

There are still the public executions (or reckonings) of those who rebel.

Theres a headquarters keeping track of everyones status inside the fence.

That gave me an idea of what I was dealing with.

Welcome to Wayward Pines!

We made a big, conscious effort [to show that] that wasnt the end, he says.

I enjoyed the premise so much that I felt like I wanted to live there.

Wait, live in Wayward Pines?!

No, he clarifies, laughing.

I want to watch thecharacterslive in Wayward Pines from the safety of my couch.

Ah, that makes more sense and we feel the same way.
