‘Wayward Pines’ season 2, episode 6 review: Humanity’s many follies
There are some times on “Wayward Pines”
when it feels like the residents are not too far away from being
Keystone Cops. We’re starting to think that the Abbies are the peaceful
ones here, mostly because they know to a certain extent how to get
along. For example, on tonight’s episode we had examples of Abbies cooperating
to help one another, while at the same time Theo and Rebecca had many an
argument about her and Xander while Jason and Kerry go from romance to
hostility in an incredibly short period of time. This is without
mentioning Jason later trying to be puppetmaster at the hospital when it
comes to who should be saved in order of importance. CJ, by and large,
was the sole smart one through much of this, and did his part to tell an
increasingly indignant.READ MORE
‘Wayward Pines’ 2×06 review: Dying to survive
Prospects of survival are looking increasingly dismal for the remnants of the human race, as the Abbies burned Wayward Pines’ crops in “City Upon a Hill,” while also killing dozens of townspeople. Not only that, it seems that the Abbies have the capacity to learn and plan; after their attack on the crops, in which they scorched the ground, they occupied the ground because they recognized its importance to the inhabitants of Wayward Pines.

Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 6 Review: City Upon a Hill
The stakes are raised and Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 6 claimed yet another victim.
Okay, it actually claimed more than thirty victims, but only one that matters to us.
So, first Adam saves Theresa's life, bringing her to the hospital where
Theo is forced to stab her in the chest so she can breathe. Then later
he decides to end it all and let her join her husband and son. He could
have saved her a lot of pain and suffering by just moving the process
along out in the field.
The threat of starvation becomes real on a chaotic Wayward Pines
The thing that seemingly everyone but Jason expected would happen has
finally happened: The Abbies are back, and they’re pissed. CJ and the
others watch as the Aberrations target anyone holding a water hose,
which seems like pretty definitive evidence these supposedly dumb
creatures are thinking awfully clearly. Which is what makes it all the
more irritating when we get two full scenes of Jason ranting about how
these things are beasts, and there’s no way they’re capable of learning.
How many times is Jason going to stick his head in the sand and be
wrong? More importantly, how dumb do you have to be to look at all the
available facts and still willfully ignore the obvious? Jason has
apparently mistaken Kerry’s demand that he act like “the man born to
lead” for “act like the man born to deny what’s staring you in the
face.”

Wayward Pines recap: 'City Upon a Hill'
The Abbies return, and all hell breaks loose in 'paradise'
Abbies aren’t exactly simple-minded creatures living outside the fence,
it turns out. This episode, they show they’re capable of strategizing,
of outsmarting humans, and of creepily staring at Megan (Hope Davis)
until even she freaks out at the sight. And, as we see in the opening
scene, they’re a quiet community in the woods when humans aren’t
interfering: Before Pilcher’s helicopter comes to shoot
them dead, they’re docile — and even after Pilcher’s massacre, two
Abbies help carry an injured comrade out of the woods. They’re
cooperating to save one another!
