Judging from a few things I have learned about real story it's most accurate to stop and not wreck story too far . So it's come full circle, now let it stand.
It's still possible for a season two.

"
DEADLINE: And that idea for a Season 2 is? We now have both Matt Dillon and Toby Jones’ characters dead in the finale but could any of the other major actors from Season 1 return?
SHYAMALAN: We have an idea we’ve discussed. That’s all I’ll say."
I have to say, I would very much like for a lot of people to get answers they didn't get from questions they have. Blake came up with a very nice dystopian future and let me say, out of all 3 books, PINES was the best of them all but I still feel that there were characters from the arc that needed to be incorporated in to the series, characters that 63dot and I were discussing about that were necessary to the foundation of the story and perhaps the background of Kate's group and so on, that would've given the TV series a much bigger appealing look for many that had so much in questioning. Still. If they do come up with season 2, perhaps we get to see some of them come to life in that future with Ben at the helm which if I had to judge for the finale, I thought they ended it in a very good note. It was the perfect ending. History repeats itself when we aren't willing to forgo of the mistakes made, more than likely it is in U.S. That that history will partake somehow and start over as a regression.
But there again, that was the premise in the beginning of he book. Which I wished was suggested to be incorporated somehow in the beginning or through out the series which would've made it much easier when t came to the "how did Pilcher go to the past from the future to get Ethan and Pope" question.
The reality is this folks.
Now that the series is done I will take the liberty of speaking freely and I hope it's okay.
Pilcher was an award winning scientist of some sorts who alerted all governments of what was coming and no one listened. That was in the 60's, so instead he started recruiting and getting private funding from several private entities.
In the late 70's he openly started a ducting people to put them in the ark.
In 2012-2013 (one or the other can't remember which one) when Kate and Hudson came to Pines looking for Pilcher because the agency had questions regarding embezzlement of funds and so on, he decided to put a halt to it and take them all. He put them all in hyper sleep in the arc, and at that time when it happened, 2 weeks later Ethan went on looking for the 2 missing agents that
Had been already abductees by Pilcher unknowing that he would be asking too many questions that would lead him to the same fate.
When that happened, Teresa was merely pregnant with Ben. Later a few days later she was told that Ethan was dead with another Agent that was in a car accident with Ethan in which they found the DNA of said agent but not Ethan's whatsoever.
When Ben was around 5 years old, Teresa had a "waking" ceremony for Ethan with one of those candy rings to remember him because when he proposed to her, since he didn't have a ring at the time; he rushed at the convenient store and bought ab$0.75cts candy ring to propose that she use to remember him because she said it was the appropriate way to remember him instead of the failures he made, i.e., sleeping with Kate and right after the waking in which his boss from the Agency came to see her, whom unlike the TV series had NOTHING to do with Pilcher, gave her news he was not in that vehicle and no DNA was found.
At 5 in the morning after everyone had left, Teresa had put Ben to sleep and when Teresa was drunk still doing dishes and thinking of Ethan, this chubby tinny man knocked on the door and told her he could reunite her and her son with her husband but she had to choose and she accepted but she didn't know how. She had to take as Pilcher said "a leap of faith" for her and her son because the liquid he gave them both could've killed them when instead it just put them to sleep.
That same day that Ben and Teresa went to the Arc to sleep on their own will to be reunited with Ethan, Pilcher also was put to sleep and that is when that period of abductions stopped. In fact they could reawaken every few hundred years so they could have some of the best doctors of the era and so on but by year 3,000 things were too far gone.
When Ethan awoke, that was actually not the first time for him.
In fact, in a span of 8 years or so, Pilcher had try to integrate and re-integrate Ethan in to society but with each time, each plan backfire because his "agent mode" kicked in every time. He didn't even know that Teresa was there with Ben. She dreaded every time the phone rang because she thought they'd make her go find her husband with everyone else for a reckoning, until one time Ethan was held prisoner, and the Pilcher went to Teresa asked her to come to help Ethan the she came with Ben, he put them to sleep, put them in the helicopter with Pope, Pam and Ethan which Ethan did not know until the end, and later Pilcher used them to force Ethan to become Sheriff as Pilcher force the pilot to leave Pope behind to be devoured by Abbies as he was clinging in to the helicopter.
Then Pilcher looked at Ethan and said "HE WANTED TO RULE" and the way Crouch describes it in the book it was saying as if Pilcher was making it sound like HE was the only ruler and only HE was God now.
Ethan had no choice but to take the job because Pilcher was about to leave him, Teresa and a ground up teenager kid he didn't even know was his kid Ben in a city that was no more but more like a jungle invaded with Abbies with nothing to survive but a bagpack of food and a rifle for them 3 so Ethan had no choice and thus he became the Sheriff.
But then on book 2 the entire book focuses on the death and murder of Pilchers daughter which Ethan thought Kate did and she didn't. He actually infiltrated her group to find out what had happened until the cruel reality of the maglomaniac of Pilcher came to light and thus events from the last town emerged.
The book is a good read.
And that is why I wished they didn't go forward becUse it couldn't have ended better and I fear they might ruin the integrity of he story trying to add more to it, unless it is to tie up some knots that need some tying up to do.
Sorry for the long explanation but mainly that is for all those wondering the time travel question for all of the clips we saw of Pilcher and Ethans boss are flashbacks.
