Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Just watched the pilot for the Colony, wasn't expecting much but the commercials kept pulling me and it did not disappoint. It's post apocalyptical America but instead of the usual total devastation it's martial law with curfews, police brutality and forced labor (or America if Hillary gets elected ) . The plot has Will Bowman (Josh Holloway - Lost) trying to find his son who was separated into a labor camp, but he gets caught and when the powers that be find out that he was special forces they hire him to fight the resistance - or have him and his all family forced to work in the "Factory". His wife (Sarah Wayne Callies - Walking Dead, Prison Break) is reluctant at first but once they get certain "luxuries" to sweeten the deal she is all in. However she is really working for the resistance and now plans on using her husband for insider information. Edited January 23, 2016 by Buffalo Barbarian
dhg Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I caught the first episode and really liked it, probably because it has a Lost "feel" to it. Looking forward to the next episode.
USMCBillsFan Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I forgot to record it. But hopefully it'll be on Hulu plus since I like watching everything on there now anyway, no commercials!

unbillievable Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 How was he able to keep his special forces history a secret from a post-apocalyptic tyrannical government? That would imply he was a soldier for another country.

That would imply he was a soldier for another country. he changed his name and did something I don't remember. He was not a soldier for another country. You should watch it to remind me, it's going to be a great show.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 Really going to like this show, the whole working with and against her husband really makes for some interesting plot lines, plus the acting an writing is great.
