USA Network's "Colony" thread

[KalKal]

Agreed about the liitle girl. She was pissing me the fukk off acting like a little scared bytch. Couldn't run right or anything. It's almost unrealistic how sheltered they've made her. Like you've had to climb through woods, hide underneath the city in sewers, and you're still this useless? Yeah, and I never felt like Charlie integrated back in with the family. Plus for this show to be the way it is the Bowmans have suffered almost zero loss. It was time.

From what we have seen of Seattle, it's ruled by The Greatest Day cult. So they probably need her character in order to give a way to explain to the audience what The Greatest Day is really about.


Watching this after watching last weeks "Westworld", I think I might be getting an idea what this is:
Snyder mentioned that the human elite speculated that the Hosts (just noticed that both shows use the same term for A.I.s) were either created by organic beings, or the uploaded minds of organic beings. He also mentioned that they don't care much if a "drone" machine gets destroyed, but kill one of the sentient AI cores and they're willing to nuke your whole city in to a glass parking lot.

So, it sounds like the Hosts don't have the technology to actually create new minds. If they're on the run from organic beings, those beings are probably their original creators/slavemasters trying to get their property back.

I'm thinking that Seattle is the center of their process of digitizing human brains and uploading them into new AI cores. The Hosts need to do this because its their only way to replace units that have been killed off in the war, but they're selling this idea to the humans as The Greatest Day when they'll "ascend" to a higher spiritual level of existence and become immortal.

That's would also explain why they won't kill certain humans. The "toughest" humans with the best survival skills are given increased priority to turn into potential Host officers.

Trailer for tonight's episode

Snyder couldn't stay out the game for long, already back to scheming . If I was the lady he worked for, I might be concerned he would take my spot down the road. He got his own butler too .

Father who was driving the car should have let Katie ride with Gracie, Will wouldn't have had to pull out the gun

I can already tell the Seattle Colony is going to be on some fukkery

Good seeing Kellog from Continuum in the opening scene with Wayne Brady

 

[KalKal]

Glad they're back in a colony. Running through a post-apocalyptic wilderness has been overdone.

I guess they figured that they couldn't get Vancouver to pass for LA, so like many other Sci Fi shows they moved the setting to Seattle. That way they save money by being in Canada, but not seem too "foreign" for US audiences.

Broussard only good for one ep this season?

I'm saying where is that breh. Teasing like hell with his plot line.

Last time we saw him was a flash forward. We probably JUST caught up to it.

CHARLIE NO!!!!!!

 

[CookDat]

Holy SHYT they just clapped that boy Charlie

Damn that shyt was raw ASF.... I just caught up.....

It really got to Snyder. I think he'll try to secretly help out the resistance if he gets control of those two blocks after getting the other Proxies replaced.

Damn that shyt was raw ASF.... I just caught up.....

This show really does just hit you outta nowhere with the violence sometimes. Shyt was poppin off on s2 randomly without warning. Had me shook when they were in Will's house havin shootouts.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

bump for new episode tonight.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Episode felt tonally different with the time jump.

New names and new jobs for the Bowman family. Will doing PI work and driving a cab, Katie helping facilitate newcomers to Seattle. Graham doing Meals on Wheels. Their marriage is breaking down though and obviously things aren't as they seem with the disappearing people. Katie waking up to that realization at the end and a clean-shaven Broussard paying Will a visit at the end .

With the opening scene w/Wayne Brady I wonder if he made some kind of deal with the Raps. Where the colony would have more freedom seemingly, but they would still have to give up a certain percentage for labor or whatever special projects they would need .
