Why doesn't Wayward Pines wait a more couple of thousands of years?
Near the year 4028, David Pilcher and the future citizens of Wayward Pines wake up from a cryogenic sleep. My question is pretty straightforward.
If the world is currently ruled by monstrous creatures (mutated humans), why doesn't David Pilcher decide to go back to a cryogenic sleep and wait a more couple of thousands of year, just to see how the world evolves?
Best Answer
I think there's a few factors here - there was no reason to believe that the creatures would be gone in another thousand years, or even ten thousand years. There would, however, probably be an upper limit on how long the cryogenic tubes would last. Further, if you just have a blanket 'wake us up in 50,000 years', you might wake up to an ice age, or a radically different earth (ex. different oxygen levels).
Bottom line, at some point you have to wake up and make due. If you can deal with the creatures, then it doesn't matter when you wake up, just assume they will be there.
