Really old series.

I discovered it yesterday, and was binge watching today.

Got to about 2/3 of the way through episode 8, of the first season, and turned it off.

I'd had enough.

When blondie strutted around saying "no one talks to me that way", that was the last straw.

I've never said anything like "suck it up, buttercup, and do your job", to anyone before. But I said it to the screen just then.

She claims the job. A job that someone's life could depend on. And then she refuses to do her job, because her widdle feewings were hurt by the way he talked to her.

Like her feelings equal someone else's LIFE!

Yeah, it was just a cut. And problably won't amount to anything. And yes, he has been a royal arse. I'd have knocked him out, half a dozen times already. But come ON!

Watching this has helped me to see how so many people are projected to die within days of something like SHTF happening. Yeesh!


I won't be watching the rest. Aside from all the ridiculous things they say and do, I just don't need some tv show, making me THAT angry. I can live without courting an aneurysm, thank you.

Most of them are only still 'alive', because it's a show, and they have a contract.

IRL, almost all of them would have been dead in a couple days to a week. And Mike is not one I would count on surviving. He is just as bad about the feelings thing, as the snowflakes are. He just turns his to anger. His attitude and actions would get him dead by someone else's hands, pretty quickly, no matter how good he is at making things. No one would have time to find that out.

I get the idea behind it, but when it came out 'reality tv' was gaining steam. So I wonder how real it really was. If I was on the show I think people would have died. If you are there to take it serious, take it serious. If anything else it was food for thought for folks looking to prep, get into prepping, or for the prepper who thought of everything. I think I liked season two better.

So I had just started watching Colony on Netflix and I think it is something completely different.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4209256/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1470018/

I think one of them has Don Johnson in it. Not sure.

I THOUGHT I was going to be watching the first one. I ended up watching the second one. The second one is a reality show.

Don't watch it. You'll end up shooting the screen because of the snowflakes.

The first one, I'm on the 3rd episode. I guess it's a little interesting. Corny as raccoon poop in Iowa. They better show me the aliens soon!

I love how Hollywood is full of people who wouldn't survive a week without modern conveniences...yet they create shows in which only mentally tough, well prepared, and heavily armed people do well when the s***house goes up in flames.

Make sure you can call your own shots (there's a few different meanings wrapped up in that phrase in this context) and never become a refugee...

I don't get it
Why would you spend more time on this than the time it takes to move past it?

We did it JUST to confuse you. And make you ask questions.

What took you so long?

Colony about a future - post "alien invasion" and they won, welcome our overlords is decent enough viewing, but you have to suspend a bunch. I'm well into season 1.

Shit ain't got crazy yet. At some point, your corn meter will go off, but the plot remains interesting enough. There is some messed up shit coming up.

Episode 7 so far.

Same old lies deceit and betrayal. And now, the same old hooey about religion. They're ALL fanatics. Weirdos.

The plot does remain interesting enough.

When am I going to see an alien?

Keep watching, at least there is some respect for the "old religions". The sister gets initiated. Hey is the mom, the wife - is that Rick Grimes (dead) wife from Walking Dead? Yes Sarah Wayne Callies, right?

Plot twists, keeps going - curiosity........

Hahahhaaha well............sabotage, gone kinda wrong..........

In a moment, someone will pop in and say we have terrible taste and the show is crappy. Hey I know what I enjoy.
