We know that Wade (Liam Cunningham) is a control freak, but we don’t realize just how intense that urge is until he announces his plan to put himself into hibernation so he can continue to manage Earth’s response to the San-Ti over the 400 years it’ll take them to arrive. “I’m going to wake up every year for a week, fix the fuckups, visit Mum, hire people, fire people, go to Wimbledon, then go back under,” he declares. “Someone has to be here to welcome [the San-Ti] when they arrive, and someone has to keep the plan on track.”

He’s certainly confident about it. But in the season finale, the San-Ti appear to him aboard his private airplane. “There will be a place for you when we arrive. You are part of our plan,” the message says. Then it turns ominous: “Every room you enter, we’ll already be waiting there for you. Whatever we want you to see… you will see … until the day you die.” It’s implied they’ll use the same countdown hallucinations to control Wade that we saw them using on scientists, including Auggie, earlier in the series. How will Wade deal with that kind of interference?
