This is actually just a big question about the plot of The Maze Runner and probably can’t be explained later or ever. Why Did Thomas Risk His Life to Bring Alby Back to the Glade if He Was Stung? But if they’re not siblings, then they likely have an actual romantic connection, because this is based on a YA novel, after all. If anyone was going to fill the Han Solo corner, it would have been Gally, as he’s that cocky and also genuinely appears to be jealous that anyone should get the one girl besides him. It also seemed like a Luke and Leia kind of thing where they’d be brother and sister and not know it, causing an unnecessary love triangle jealousy thing out of one of the other Gladers. Maybe it’s because I’ve heard about how they have a telepathic connection in the book – which was excised for the movie – but I figured they were siblings, like Tony and Tia from the “Witch Mountain” books/movies. There is clearly some bond between these last two arrivals to the Glad, and not just because they were both part of the WCKD program conducting the test. What is the Relationship Between Thomas and Teresa? There will be and is room for spoilers for the first movie, however.

Therefore, we would appreciate it if fans of the books don’t chime in with spoiler-y answers to these questions. As far as I can tell, The Maze Runner (like most adaptations) leaves out a number of things from the book anyway.

I look forward to a movie sequel as continuation of the movie I’ve seen, not a cross-media succession. And even if I were, the movie versions should stand on their own. But the point is that I’m approaching this story as a movie watcher, not someone who has to read every book turned into a movie. While I don’t expect to learn everything I’m dying to know at that time – there’s at least one other sequel installment (“ The Death Cure”) and a prequel (“ The Kill Order”) that will fill all the gaps – I do hope to have a few things explained. In response, Fox announced yesterday that the adaptation to the second book in the series, “ The Scorch Trials,” is already on track for a theatrical release one year from now, on September 18, 2015. The Maze Runner ends with a cliffhanger, and for the sake of the story it’s a good thing the movie opened well over the weekend. I say episodes rather than sequels since that’s more like what they are. But it’s the kind of movie where you can’t expect complete clarification and closure, because the continued mystery is what keeps audiences interested in returning for future episodes. There are a lot of big questions left unanswered by The Maze Runner.
