Colony - USA Drama Starring Josh Holloway and Sarah Wayne Callies

I cant remember but doesnt Mr Robot (also a USA network show) drop the F bomb from time to time?

 

[TheVileOne]

I just cannot stand Katie at this point. For whatever reason, I just can't sympathize with her. No matter what she says, she's informing on her husband. She can't have this both ways. She can't keep her husband from being a resistance target and inform on him to the resistance.

I'm having the same problem with her too,and the resistance I can't seem to get behind,but I think that's part of what makes this show great, everything is not black and white

 

[TheVileOne]

My feeling is that the Resistance is not even a real Resistance. I mean they could be.

But even if they get rid of the transitional authority, they have essentially no power against the Invaders. The impression is the Earth outside the colonies is a no man's land. Maybe there's resistance in other colonies, but I get the sense that this Resistance is just a handful of people in LA, and that's it.

Quayle can go DIAF.

I wonder if there's a romantic history between Katie and Broussard? Katie's an army brat so she might've met Broussard via her father? I still like her and I feel that she's doing her best with the cards she's been dealt with.

I agree, she started down the resistance path before Will became a cop for the occupation, now she is in an impossible situation where any move could be fatal.

I think doing her best would've been telling her husband the truth before he joined the Occupation.

 

[chamber-music]

The whole show is about the moral grey area, who you can trust and the lesser evil.

 

[Kaleb]

They seem to have put the likable characters (Will,Beau and Jennifer) in roles in which we normally root against, and the unlikable characters and plays the unlikable characters (Broussard,Quayle and Katie) in roles in which we typically rooted for (The Resistance) in films

 

[X-Ray]

Well played, misleading well edited preview from last week. Now that Will knows and has killed to keep Kate's secret. I wonder how long before he becomes a full member of the resistance himself.

A moon base!? 😲 And still no extraterrestrial being in sight.

 

[Kaleb]

Loved the episode, Broussard (imo) has to be one of the most interesting characters on television.

 

[TheVileOne]

I doubt we will ever see the aliens if there are any. I bet if we do, it will be a letdown.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I was surprised to see Quayle killed off as well as Guilfoyle was in most of the promotion as oe of the bigger name cast members. Will is now down the Rabbit hole, I just wonder if Apollo will follow him as I think he knows things aren't on the up.

 

[TheVileOne]

At some point, Katie Bowman is going to sleep with Broussard. Just seems like there is something going on there. She can no longer seek solace in the arms of her husband. If it doesn't go that direction, I will be very surprised. Just saying, Broussard and Katie are close and they never lie to each other. Meanwhile she's constantly lying to her husband and their relationship is falling apart at the seams.

What happened to the mother who was in the resistance was pretty brutal.

Quayle turned out to be pretty spineless in the end. I'm not sorry he's dead.

I get that Bram is being a rebel and all, but his antics are going to get his whole family in trouble sooner or later, if he doesn't end up getting himself killed.

And the little girl is becoming a religious cultist. This is steadily becoming a weirdly dysfunctional family.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

I'd like to b**ch-slap that little girl's babysitter for getting all up in her head and filling her mind with her bulls**t...

 

[X-Ray]

^ Looks like Kate, Will and Bram will be taking turns on that ***** next time she comes over.

I hope Beau is legit. The way he kind of goes along with everything has me thinking he's just playing Will for a big payday of some sort. Hope I'm wrong.

Woah! They caught themselves a whatever the hell that thing is. Time to slice it up and see what's under that suit.

 

[Kaleb]

I thought this was actually a good theory on who or what ''Hyperion'' might be

Hyperion-did anyone catch this? Possible implications

Now, this is no insignificant name. A very well known classic SF series is known as Hyperion Cantos exists and it tells tale of conflict between Artificial Intelligence and humans which involves time travel.In fact one of the figures in the series looks a bit like Hyperion from the Colony.

The original name comes from Greek mythology and is one of the twelve Titans, Hyperion was the first to understand the movement of stars, Moon and the Sun.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_(mythology)

This could indicate that Hyperion was one of the first awakened AI's.

I think this might be a hint or homage, indicating that the Hosts will be connected to time travel and AI.

 

[kvz5]

I have a bad feeling about Beau. Like he'll get caught or something. Or maybe we won't see him for a while and then he'll come back and save Will somehow.

Hyperion! I love that AI/future theory. It makes sense with all the clues we're being given so far.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Things have reached a head with Katie and Will, I get the feeling the season finale will set up a different structure for season 2.

 

[Teelie]

I think that theory could hold some merit. If the aliens who attacked are from the future, not another planet it would be a nice twist on past series like V, Alien Nation, Falling Skies, etc.

More in line with The Terminator (minus Reese so far) but that territory is less tread on television.

 

[Perfect Cell]

I'm on board with the theory that the Raps are future humans. Maybe they come from a future where the earth is a wasteland due to humanity's mistakes (war, pollution, whatever), but they've invented the technology for time travel, so the survivors travel back in time to correct their mistakes. But they don't trust present-day humanity to change willingly, so they conquer the earth in order to force the timeline to change through fascism. It would also explain why they have that "Rolodex" on everyone, and knew exactly who to target on day 1, since they come from a time where everything up to the Arrival is history to them. Since the Arrival would be the point of divergence in the timeline (or slightly earlier than that, since Snyder implied that they came to him a little before the attack), everything should be the same up until that point.

Also, maybe the Raps have purposefully cultivated the image that they are aliens, in order to throw present-day humanity off the trail of who they really are. Putting the Factory on the moon, having elaborate demonstrations of things launching into space, all designed to hammer home the point that they're from another planet. Because if the population figures out that they're really future humans, maybe that knowledge alone could alter the future in ways that are undesirable to the Raps.

 

[kvz5]

If they are in fact future humans (my favorite theory so far), I wonder if they will introduce a plot where one of our present day characters is an ancestor of one of the Raps? Most likely Will of course.

 

[Kaleb]

The theory sounds very much like that storyline of the Observes from Fringe

 

[TheVileOne]

My problem with those theories is that it looks like they've turned Earth outside the colonies into like a no man's land. Or Snyder is hinting that it's like a wasteland outside the colonies.

Also he met the Raps. If they were future humans, I feel like Snyder would know.

Even if they are future humans trying to save the Earth from war and pollution, that doesn't really excuse their current actions.

 

[Perfect Cell]

Well, a lot of that is based on Snyder's word, which is unreliable at best. He says he met the Raps to Will, but I chalked that up to him trying to make himself sound more in control than he really is to his underling. The whole "I'm one of the select few these guys actually talk to" thing, when in reality his whole position is tenuous at best. He even sounded like he was making it up on the spot, the way he over-exaggerated the feeling he got from meeting them. Also, them being future humans wouldn't excuse their current actions. They're still the villains of the story. Plus, Phyllis did say that the Raps have a "different perception of time" when talking on that satellite phone before she died.
