I do not have much time left. Those bastards are tracking me down faster than my protection system can. But you can trust me that I will release all the data I have about the Global Deep State.
Forget what those idiots (Trump, Putin, Orban, Milan, etc) spew hourly/daily/weekly/monthly, THIS IS THE REAL ARTICLE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE US WELCOME THEIR ARRIVAL BY ALLOWING CHAOS TO SPREAD WORLWIDE!
But there are those, like me, that will be make the truth come out; the first leak will be on 28 February. I must go now but I will not kneel before them. Take care.

So far colony started off really good but a few episodes and started to get a bit pissed off with it, especially the supposed heroes katie and her husband/family and as the show goes on you are rooting for them all to get shot anyway I’ve come to the end of season two by dragging it out and I’m wondering is it worth watching season three or will that make you even more frustrated and pissed off – I don’t want to get to the end of the show and think what a waste of my time that was
Season two episode 13 The protagonist i.e. Katie and her husband are standing in front of the guards saying please don’t shoot we’re All in it for the same thing with these begging forlorn expressions of have some empathy /sympathy on us – when they themselves are going around shooting guards and anybody who comes in their way and then they expect Some sympathy?!?!?!!!
In reality, the guard would just shoot them. and I wish he had shot them all well especially Katie and her hubby because they are such a pain in the ass. All they have to do is put on this whimpering expression and believe me I’m telling the truth and everything is forgiven – amazing.!!!!!!!!
They hinted at this in season 3 but I think season 4 would have expanded on the Raps/Hosts/Occupation actually being the "good guys." Prior to the occupation, I think collaborators at a level like Helena and higher would have been told the full story. The Raps would have identified collaborators who could be reasoned with. They would have been told that another alien race was coming and earth would be destroyed. The choice presented would have been: throw your life away in a vain effort to resist the invasion or help the hosts build a weapon capable of defeating their enemies.
Humans are not going to volunteer to be sent to the factory. Therefore, more authoritarian methods are required to provide resources to the factory. As horrific as conditions are under the occupation, the hosts would have presented it as necessary for human survival. Obviously, those like Everett Kynes would object to this and take the position that human resistance is possible.
What do you think happens in season 4?
So I’ve been mentioning that so far Katie is really infuriating as a character and keeps on getting away with murder as do the whole Boman family – now the hole in the story is that people knew about katie and her resistant activities namely the initial Bowman head of security Who Katie got killed and then jennyfer – now seeing that the aliens act a bit like Big Brother i.e. everything is monitored when Bowman‘s original boss got assassinated they would’ve had all her files and they would’ve seen Katie is a traitor. Also when jennyfer killed herself and deleted those files. It would’ve been recorded what she deleted and recovered-they were already suspicious about jennyfer. – that’s basic hell working for any company nowadays you can’t delete or download anything the company knows and you leave a footprint.!!!
So in this episode I think jennyfer kills herself at the end by suicide. She deleted all the Bowman house files – why is everyone bending over backwards to cater for these people when they have sold so many people down the river? Katie has killed and got killed so many people– I forgot the original woman’s name who was Bowman‘s boss CIA background woman she was good efficient and Katie got her killed and yet she saved Bowman‘s son so people give them leeway but they don’t give the same consideration back – basically katie comes across as self-serving selfish a killer like The original guy said deception comes so easily to her Bowman husband needs to get rid of her, but like other people have said he’s got it bad for her and just keeps on making excuses for her and even kills people to hide her mistakes
Hi all,
i just saw someone took the emblems i created and butchered or blantantly stole them so i thought i would share them here again in case someone hasnt seen the original versions yet (since when i posted them it was only an answer to another post)
Feel free to print them out if you like them.
The IGA admitted that “The Greatest Day“ was BS. What did Maddie Kenner see, during her initiation (S2E2)?
Why did the “Raps” use the tunnel to bring in a VIP(Host) when they had much better technology to transport it.…spaceships and what not?
At the end of season 1, we see Snyder set off the locater, in the truck, as they are leaving the block. Season 3 is six months later and he was able to summon the strike team, hitting the cabin. Why didn’t they find them, the first time Snyder hit the button and how did he summon them to the cabin? Thanks, fellow Colony Fans! 🌊
As I am rewatching this amazing show for the god knows how many times I am yes again filled with sadness knowing that I will never find out what happens next.
Why did you forsaken us, release a book. SOMETHING.
If I was rich I would pay a lot to bring this show back.
The original estimate was Humanity and the Hosts had several decades to prepare for a confrontation, however their forward groups arrived within <3 years of “the arrival”, with their main force following within months.
granted their is a margin of error due to the vastness of space, but how could the hosts have so grossly miscalculated the time of which their survival depended on? did Helena Goldwyn mention something that the hosts perceive time differently? Could that mean possibly the difference in time was negligible in the minds of the Hosts?
this handsome crazy man actually forced my brain to rewrite all the show to create an alternative story (based on most of the main events without changing) and a better ending for Colony instead of that cliffhanger we got in season 3..
It's more about the hosts abducting university students to create vampire-like creatures and then train them in soldier camps before giving them the mission to protect different proxys and the one our main female character Melissa Bowman protects is the famous Alan Snyder, the man she was having a secret crush on since she was a student at the high school he was working in, but she decides to hide her identity from him under her soldier uniform that hides her face and her female features... but in reality, the hosts were actually creating those creatures for a bigger purpose
If anyone wants to know more about this fan-made story I'll be more than happy to share it here with you all to read
Greetings. I watched the whole series recently and I have a strong feeling that at some point of S2 the plot went the wrong way. S3 is a complete disaster. It contradicts and devalues everything the characters went through or achieved so far. Not only it is a frustrating season - there is so much going on in there but the dialogs are so boring (all those long pauses...) that I watched the last episodes half-asleep. It was really hard to pay attention. And all the events are packed up so tightly you might wonder if you missed a couple episodes somehow. Sorry for the grammar.
!So the Hosts aimed to kill almost every capable person with the background of extensive training and government service. Almost every - because those 'gray hats' didn't come from mall security guard or something (supposedly). Those who've been killed were no doubt passionaries - an irreplaceble material for an insurgency. So if Will Bowman and Broussard stayed in their places during the Arrival we would've been missing two more Outliers. Then we find out that the Hosts actually need these people for war... What? Either I missed something important or those were some volatile aliens.!<
!Everything the Resistance did was not only totally futile; a whole bunch of people: Carlos, GZ guyz, Katie's sister with her son, school teacher and everyone else - ended up at the Factory there they were killed later (I'm talking only about those who interacted with Bowmans). Will's colleague most likely killed herself and the other female colleague was transferred, whatever that was meant. Which makes Bowman family a walking catastrophe, a group of real terrorists that destroy every group they get into. It is hard to sympathize to people like that. Also that annoying forest warlord (ex-survivalist, ex-conspiracy theorist guy) might be actually right?!<
!Broussard and his girlfriend traveled all the way up the West coast without any particular predicaments. No Walls, no checkpoints, no warbands, no government. No cities, no settlements. What they've seen was mostly urban wilderness. Some of this distance they travelled on foot! I remember I couldn't believe that Bowmans are going to travel all the way from South to North on a train! I even checked where Seattle is. There is no doubts about what happened - it was Fast Travel, some of the worst solutions for a plot.!<
!The Red Hand don't fear the authorities at all: a big theatre could just get squatted by a couple dozens people with guns. And they still utilize electricity.!<
I couldn’t find anything on this sub or anywhere else. I know some cancelled shows’ creators release a novel, comic, or other media of how the story would’ve continued or ended. So I’m curious if we know how Colony ends or where it would’ve gone.
I started re-watching this show in late August. First time since it went off the air. It's great. Not enough people talk about it. It's a very tense and gritty show that I wish would have gotten a proper finish.
I am currently about 5 episodes into season 3. I forgot about Charlie, then right as it was happening remembered. It was really jarring. Watching Katie lose it, which I admit was very sad and well-acted, I just kept thinking how much of her fault it is. She just can't put her family above the Resistance.
Will (rightly) lectures her sometime in season 1 or 2, and she stops for a bit, but goes right back to it. And Charlie is pretty much dead because she insisted on going to that insane Seattle camp. Vincent warned them it was incredibly political and she insists on challenging MacGregor because she "wanted a seat at the table."
Her character is in TWD too.
I find SWC to be arrogant as well. Ranting about how Colony reflects our state of life : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ooi_xgwuitE. Move to a 3rd world country then get back to me.
How could they do that? I was really enjoying the show and that they way they ended things. So many unanswered questions, so much more i would love to have seen, so much more they could have done. Im upset because i just watched the series finale. If you read this with out watching the show, it pains me to say, dont waste your time getting invested. Youll be hurt
This show was so close to being amazingly good but I felt like it just left too many unanswered questions that I'm not sure would've been answered even in a full run. Maybe I just missed some things but can you answer me these questions:
So I've actually seen the show a couple of times but I haven't watched it in a few years and right now I'm on S1 E5. I have always wondered why Bram didn't go and find Charlie when he went under the wall with his little girlfriend. It seems like he's more worried about markers and coffee then he is finding his brother. If I was a teenager like Bram and my brother who I loved dearly was stuck on the other side of that wall and I found out I was able to get to that side safely without being harmed the FIRST thing I'm doing is telling my parents so we can come up with a game plan to get my brother back. Yeah I get that he promised his little girlfriend he wouldn't tell anyone and I know that he eventually does go to Will about it but jeez it took him long enough. Or am I missing something and there's a very good reason why it wasn't his first instinct?
No idea what's wrong with me. I guess I just can't help wanting a good story, even if it is unfinished.
I'm almost done with season 1, been a blast so far. I was looking for something to scratch my "I miss the first season of Earth: Final Conflict and both versions of V" itch I've had going for a while.
Anyway, just thought I'd chime in with my slightly different approach. I knew I would get no closure, and yet I chose to press play. Cue the inevitable emotional damage...
I understand that the show was cancelled before we could get any further lore dumps but I can’t help but speculate as to what happened to the soldiers stationed at military bases around the world?
We know that most of the Pro’s who would’ve been inside of the colony after the walls came down were eliminated in the opening hours of the arrival and that the remainder were quietly collected and sent into Cryogenic storage.
We know that the people who were left outside of the colonies were mostly renditioned to the factory but that leaves one vital question what happened to all the military bases?
Most Military bases would have been too heavily armed and defended for the IGA forces to have just walked in and kidnapped everyone but at the same time the personnel would have been too valuable for the host to just Kill from orbit.
Which begs the question what the fuck happened to all them?
Saw it on roku and it looked cooI, halfway through season 2 I saw that the show was canceled, didn't expect it to end like that. Now I'm bored. What an amazing show though.
They are seen in the second season, but i have no idea what they could be for. Since i think in this show nothing ever is shown without a good reason i guess they would have seen some use in the cancelled S4 and S5. But what do you think could these be? Judging by their archicture i would say they belong to the Hosts and my guess would be either some sot of shield generator or recon installation. Let me know what you think!
Had it on my list for years and decided to binge watch it as it was coming off Netflix. Started to get nervous a few episodes before the end as it didn't look like things were wrapping up. Show finished and felt that I waisted hours of my life. I liked the show but wouldn't have watched it if I had known the series was cancelled without a conclusion.
So just wrapped up another re-watch of Colony before it vanishes from Netflix, in Bonzo after Kynes speaks to the Demi, there are map coordinates on his arm, I have no idea how to work this out as different websites give me a different location.
Anyone able to work out where this is?
