Who has been watching Colony on USA?

I'm finally all caught up. The first season of this show had a rough start, in my opinion. But I stuck with it, and now this current season? Every episode has been pretty fantastic, I think.

Total rendition

This season was one of attrition. It starts with the both the Occupation forces and the new Red Hand resistance doing their worst. One has upped on mass surveillance state and even slightest show of compassion becomes a weakness to be eradicated. And there is only a black and white choice of serve or be eliminated. Report on any infraction. Kill anyone even suspect of being subversive. Jennifer couldn’t take it. Will couldn’t do it. We are led to believe she committed suicide. He becomes a fugitive, along with the whole family, and part of Resistance.

But the other side is not much better. It becomes ideology run on sacrificing its believers bent on raking up casualty numbers. They use young people they convert as suicide attackers sometime even without their knowledge. But all it does it kill their fellow humans. True they are collaborators but they are also workers who just try to survive, the people in worker line, the ones send into camps. All they do is kill fellow humans and then cause even more killed in retaliation. The razed camp. The dead kids. The refusal to even consider other option. They would kill everyone in the block who isn’t as fanatical as they are. And when they die is by the hands of the other Resistance. Broussard and the Bowmans have come for the gauntlet.

Most people are pressured by these try to find a way to live. The side to sick to and a way to live one’s life without surrounding too much. A way to navigate both sides. But it’s hard finding the way. Bram becomes a terrorist. Maggie and Katie end up betraying each other and Maddie is being sent to the Factory. It all ends with total rendition of Los Angeles. Because the aliens don’t care about human loses - they only care about disturbances in the plan. Sometimes it just too much trouble to keep things running. L.A. was causing too many problems and factories on the Moon need bodies. And all the suicide bombers and scheming of Nolan, Alcala, Snyder and even Governor- General meant nothing. Neither of them had any real power over this. We may cheer Broussard on but he condemned this whole block. Or at least made them lose it all faster (maybe those 2 years would’ve made a difference). I’m hoping the gauntlet was worth it.

It seems like it controls, or at least, gives access to all of the RAPs systems. The aliens would do anything to get it back. And death and betrayal follows it. The tech team who acquired it, the pilot from the beyond the wall resistance, the guy holding it. And finally the whole Red Hand and even L.A. block. All pay for it falling to unauthorized hands. The RAPs recovered the host it was taken from. Now they want it back. Badly.

We still don’t know what it does but the pilot from beyond the Wall said they have one of the RAPs on their side and they know how to use it. But she is dead and the Bowmans are out of L.A. but have no idea where to look for help. And we still don’t know why Will and Broussard were spared by drones. What the men in black do with the special prisoners on the list. Most people send to space go to Factory but the special ones - where do they go? Broussard stayed in L.A. so will we learn if they capture him?

And for a moment I though Snyder was for real. He did save Bram when he didn’t have to and he kept his deals with Will and Maddie. But he’s the man who gave up on humanity before the Arrival and he did lie about everything to get to the best possible position. He manipulated people to get an edge and survive but also to be in power. He likes it. And they offered him everything.
