Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
Welcome to Wayward Pines, the friendliest deadliest place on earth. Where children are bred to become firing squad executioners and dudes who put everything on the line to save humanity can just as easily crush it all with a few strokes of the keyboard. But heck, we're getting ahead of ourselves here. Sort of the way the show did with its cold open.
"A Reckoning" picked up on the events of last week -- in which Ethan worked to track down the town terrorists -- as he seemingly came to the conclusion that he had to reckon former lover Kate in order to save the town. As he marched Kate up to the platform in the town square, asking cheering residents if that's what they really wanted, we knew it wasn't actually going to happen. Especially when the scene cut to the opening credits. Sure, the moment was intended to build suspense, but it backfired by ruining the much more interesting suspense halfway through the episode, when the First Generation bombarded the sheriff's office. We knew, thanks to that flash-forward, that Kate was going to make it out of the situation alive, making Harold the biggest loss of that entire execution.
Speaking of, how I had a hard time wrapping my head around a new character with that much importance this late into the series. It would have been much more interesting to meet Jason earlier on in the series, rather than have him randomly pop up as an entitled First Generation kid at that crucial moment. While I haven't been a huge fan of the Ben stuff so far this season, Hope Davis does an outstanding job as Megan Fisher. The idea of her training these children to be the next town leaders is an interesting one, especially given her ruthless methods. We've come to expect characters like Jason to eventually exist and take matters into their own hands in an extreme way, but there was a missed opportunity to learn more about him before that awful firing squad moment.
After weeks of threatening to tell everyone the truth, Ethan, Kate and Theresa finally came together and revealed the fate of the world to the Wayward Pines residents in a slightly drawn-out episode that over-explained many of the character's actions, while also introducing new ones from out of the blue. Still, thanks to some not-so-shocking deaths...
