Colony

Colony is a TV series (action, adventure, SF) on USA.  Anyone watching?  A repeat of the pilot is airing right now.

Set in the near future, it's about outsiders called the Occupation.  They took over Southern California (later we learn it's the entire the West Coast, maybe all of the US, maybe even the world). They're believed to be aliens, but few people have seen them.

The show is about to air it's last two episodes of ten. It's already been approved for Season 2,which will have even more episodes. The main character is ex-CIA agent Will Bowman, played by Josh Holloway (Sawyer on Lost).  Will was hired by the local government to find the resistance (those against the Occupation), and stop them.  One of those persons is Will's wife; last episode Will realized that she's involved.  He killed the man who could have told his boss about her. She doesn't know that he knows. I think that showdown happens Thursday at 7 PM.

I *love* this show. I've seen each episode several times, because I love the premise, and I'm always hoping to glean something new. It's must-see TV!

Seriously, no one here is watching Colony? Well, I still love it, except for one thing: After the last episode of the season aired, a voice-over said that there would be new episodes in 2017.  I had known all along I'd have to wait for season two, but NEXT YEAR??  I didn't expect that.

Sorry Mel, don't have cable anymore so I can't watch Colony. Maybe check it out at some point on DVD or Netflix, but I follow so many things already and there's only so much time.

I can totally sympathize with the long gap between seasons though! I think at least one of the Breaking Bad gaps was like that.

Hope they plan on some reruns in 2017; by then you'll have forgotten what happened!

Thanks, TK. I kept all 10 episodes to enjoy them later on. I kept the last couple of The Last Ship for the same reason -- and to help remember where it left off. Looks like USA decided to give Colony 13 episodes instead of 10; I was hoping for more than that. Oh well.
