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:

1. When the enemy aliens finally arrive and kill everyone at Davos I was made distinctly aware that the humans had chosen to ally with the Hosts (Snyder asks if they chose the wrong allegiance). Did humans actually have a choice to partner with the Hosts? After they found the moon base, and assuming humans reached out (how long had humans and hosts been in contact considering there seemed to be a solid apparatus in place when Arrival was already nearing. Who's paying all those recruiters?), did Humans actually make the choice to partner with the Hosts or was it sort of a coerced relationship where the Hosts say either we kill you all or you let us enslave you and we fight together to win?
2. what happened to Maddie? Was that scene at the end of season 2 where the gate gets taken over by IGA supposed to mean that they weren't in fact being released to San Fernando but had in fact been renditioned? It was a little unclear I thought and never mentioned again.
3. why did the IGA go about collecting outliers in the worst possible way? Why would they kidnap people, freeze them, then plan to release them at some front line at a later date having given them zero info about their enemy? The Chinese guy and Persian lady were so easily blindsided because they had zero clue what to even expect. Also how did they keep that enemy alien in that room to use for war testing? God that would've been cool to find out more. Also they look vaguely humanoid right?
4. why did the Hosts need human labor? Why not just use robots?
5. why was bram so annoying toward the end of season 3 like what was with all the gaslighting Gracie?
6. why did the Hosts want the most incompetent people in charge of the new world order? So that they'd never stage any insurgency and be fattened by the bureaucracy?
7. was Snyder actually a good person or was he purely a pragmatist?

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?

When I first started watching I wasn't sure I was going to continue as it seemed just to focus on a family and their journey. But after watching for longer it's explores a lot of the occupation themes of V. Where there's a resistance movement and collaborators getting killed. V was also based in los Angeles, it seems to get used in a lot of American series.

Some parts of it reminded me of the film overlords where Aliens had overtaken London, they had marshall law and drones patrolling the streets.

I've seen thoughts that it might have all been a hoax and there was no actual aliens but the tech used in the formation of the walls and advanced tech of the drones is far beyond what we have at the moment. You would have expected them to also have more surveillance techniques.

(English is not my main language, sorry for poor grammar !)

I just finished the show and i'm so sad it got cancelled with so many unanswered questions ! But i really enjoyed it especially the 2nd season for the screenplay (i found the camera work to be the best at season 2, the handheld camera combined with so many uncut combat scene was such a great choice !) And the 3rd one for the deeper explanation concerning our hosts and the story evolving in general with every characters facing inner dilemmas was really cool even if the screenplay wasn't as good anymore.

But, i have a regret : I was way more empathic toward Charlie than Gracie because i thought that she was just a weight for the whole familly and except from being a child to protect she had no purpose

(now that i finished the series i guess it was just to make Braham becoming more of an adult with some more responsabilities especially now that Katie and Will were not around as much as before)

Anyway, i think Charlie would have been way more useful than Gracie because he was basically a mini-Will, that's maybe why he got killed aswell but he could have been more of an important character imo.

What's your thought on this guys

With AI technology getting better and better by the month, one day we will have the ability to ourselves make the 4th season we were robbed of.

It could be next year, it could be 10 years, if there's any big brain colony fans reading... keep this idea in mind, help make it a reality for at least some of us in our lifetime.

Found the show after scrolling through Netflix reading descriptions, this quickly caught my attention, and after an episode I was hooked. Think this is the quickest I've ever binged a show. Took me about 5 days to watch all 3 seasons.

I think Season 1 & 2 are better than the third, I still enjoyed the third season but something about it just felt off to me.

After finishing season 3 and looking up a season 4, my stomach sank and I was on the verge of tears learning that season 3 was 6 years ago and there are no plans for anymore.

Honestly a top 10 show for me, such an interesting concept that focuses on areas that I've never really seen other sci-fi shows do.

Really, really bummed out, especially with how it ends and knowing there's no closure to be had.

If I was a billionaire or had ridiculous amounts of money to throw around, I'd use it to continue shows like this that deserve more. Marco Polo is another show that comes to mind.
