@mods It's a US timeline thread so as Paul normally suggests no need for spoiler tags if the show has been broadcast in the US ;)

Geronimo has been shown to be a false idol, it didn't surprise me that they screwed the voice over the fake trial which was a typical occupationist move. I do wonder though who is writing the scripts??

Re: Colony
 

The script-writers were the two arty people they arrested in the Green Zone - they were producing the posters *and* the radio scripts.

Re: Colony
 

Shows that you can miss something so obvious, I assumed they were purely doing the posters.:dunce:

Re: Colony
 

Correct, spoilers are only needed if the episode has not been shown in the relevant country (so US in this case).

Re: Colony
 

I am confused. Did I need them or did I not? It had aired in the US when I made my post but not in the UK so I was still technically spoiling it for the majority of Europe-based forum users who hadn't seen it yet.

Re: Colony
 

You don't need spoilers in a US Timeline prefixed thread if the bit you are talking about has already been shown in the US. The prefix means that UK viewers know to avoid the thread.

Re: Colony
 

Sorry, my bad.

Re: Colony
 

Drop them and bend over, I'll spank you as soon as I can find my studded paddle ;)

Re: Colony
 

What, again.....:D

I keep forgetting the 'safe word'.

Re: Colony
 

time for a tiny grumble. I moaned my ass off in the Legends of Tomorrow thread about realism and things making sense and now I need to do it for Colony.

We all know that Will has a target on his back as he is/was the face of the anti-resistance and as far as anyone is concerned, the resistance has attacked his house. Sooooo, now that Phyllis is dead and Will is the head of the task force wtf hasn't he been relocated to the green zone and/or moved into Phyllis' house? I know it makes for good story telling for him to stay where he is but if they need to stick with the rules they establish and that is that the higher ups live in the more protected and privileged areas.

Re: Colony
 

Trust...

Those up high do not trust him. Phyllis was high up before the arrival and probably went to work for them right away where as Will went into hiding and was forced into the job.

Re: Colony
 

true, I'll let that one go for now then :)

Re: Colony
 

There's no aliens, but I don't know if you're aware of a Norwegian drama called Occupied which is currently showing on Sky Arts.

It deals with the kind of issues you highlight and you might enjoy it, if you don't mind some subtitles. It's about the Russian occupation of Norway.

As for Colony, I'm sticking with it but zzzzzz, at least its useful to have on in the background while ironing.

It also seems to be that those higher up don't trust each other either as far as we can tell.

A classic divide and rule.

Re: Colony
 

well it is all over and done with now. Tbh I thought it was a cracking first season, I have definitely seen worse. They covered a lot of ground and managed to keep up the high level of suspense throughout. It was nice to see the Homeland blondie finally come around to the good side in the last episode. It was nice to finally see an alien but I was half disappointed that we didn't actually get to see it's true form. I can understand that they want to maintain the intrigue though and carry it into season 2. I realise they are focusing more on the human drama but I hope that when they do show us the aliens that they put a lot of thought and care into justifying/explaining their form/anatomy, why they need the suits and where they came from.
The one thing I don't get is that while Will was waiting outside all the drones started turning up. I didn't think him and Katie were going to make it out without being zapped by the lasers and I thought he was going to have to kill her to save his ass and prevent her from being taken alive and tortured. How the **** did she manage to walk out the front door? I watched it back and she definitely walked out the front door and didn't go down the hole with the other guys.

Re: Colony
 

Gutted it is cancelled. They really got the ball rolling with the story this season and as always it ended on a cliff hanger. It really needs a 3 or 4 episode mini season to wrap things up, let us know how the war ends and what happens to everyone on Earth.
