Re: Colony

Would be a lot more helpful if you actually posted some information rather than just links.

Yea your probably right! But at the time of the post I hadnt watched it.

Anyway

Stars Josh Holloway (Lost) & Sarah Wayne Callies (The Walking Dead)

After the invasion of America (possible earth), cities & districts are divided up & walled off. Overseen by sympathisers of the occupation those inside try to lead normal life’s. The resistance movement is in full swing.
Josh works for a delivery Co & tries to reach another district to find his son (middle of 3 kids) but because of the resistance he doesn’t make it & gets arrested.
After his arrest he is taken to the Governors residence where he is (?) coerced into working for the occupation with the promise of them getting his son back from another district.
Unbeknown to Josh his wife (Sarah) is part of the resistance & she becomes their inside person because of the roll her husband takes with the occupation, that of an investigator helping to find the resistance.

Short overview, looks like it has promise but as with all TV series nothing is set in stone & may end up with 1 short run.

Re: Colony

Just watched ep1, looks good and seems to have a reasonable story behind it.

Re: Colony

ep2 is better. I like it but I hope it isn't just human drama hidden behind scifi plot. They only alien thing about it atm is the drones flying around making funny noises. Hopefully at some point we'll get to see some aliens and spaceships. Tbh my crystal ball is telling me it is going to be cancelled.

Re: Colony

.... agree.

Too many people and not enough aliens. In fact no aliens at all. Perhaps they're asleep, or, as we got a clue in the last ep...they're perception of time is different to ours. Wow, what a revelation......zzzzzz

Re: Colony

I havent watched ep4 yet but given what we saw in ep2 i am guessing it is like V and they are taking all the humans tgat go "the factory" up to their ship for food. As the governor said, they will leave when they get what they came for.

Re: Colony

I think the alien identify mystery will be the season finale. Bit of a twist which could open up the storyline at the end of ep4.. Not what I was expecting as I thought they were perhaps Geronimo??

It's watchable for an early season hopefully to get better.

Re: Colony

I just watched ep4 and it was flipping good. When I watched the pilot I thought it might try and be too light hearted so it appeals to the wider family audience but I love how serious it is getting and addressing the realistic social tensions and issues which would arise if such a situation were to occur. Season 1 is 10 eps so lets hope we can hold out till the end!

Re: Colony

I am warming to this a bit, I admit.

A rip of V, yes. As it's all about how people treat each other, but still watchable.

Re: Colony

it is getting better and better with each ep.

Tbh I honestly thought Phyllis was Geronimo until they allegedly killed her. If you listened to how she talked to Will about the occupation, the things the aliens did and what she thinks of the provisional government, I was expecting her to turn out to be a high level resistance member. She definitely gave the impression she was sympathetic towards them. I couldn't decide whether it was genuine or whether she was doing it as a test to see how Will reacts and if she could bait him into switch sides.

Re: Colony

Yep it's what I hinted at in post #8

It'll be interesting when they source the "advanced optics" as that'll probably shed more light on the ETs
