Will tries to make up for this difference, also acknowledging Charlie's disappearance, except he tells them the truth about where Charlie actually was, including Will's and Charlie's journey climbing over the wall and odd drone experience they had, but MacGregor, being much too smart for his own good, puts together that Will must of worked with Occupation for any of this make sense. Things fall apart fast when Gracie (Isabella Cramp) admits Charlie had "come back" from somewhere, which she claims is just the Greenzone. As mentioned, MacGregor's decision to destroy the Click puts the more level-headed and nurturing Vincent in a bind, as he, being overshadowed by MacGregor, interrogates Will, Katie, and Charlie & Grace, while Bram as usual takes things into his own hands, as he hides materials needed to detonate the bomb.

He is now willing to send the Click on a train to another block with explosives! Vincent not knowing what to believe, outside of knowing that MacGregor is hothead, goes back and forth trying to access the Bowman's, whom have lied about their back story by trying to hide the fact that Will was once an FBI agent and made a deal to work with the Occupation in exchange for finding his lost son, Charlie (Jacob Buster).Įpisode 4.05 is then one of the most politically complicated and emotionally-charged episodes in Colony's history, proving to the audience it can be a dead serious show with real-world truths and consequences. As turns out Macgregor has a Host, or a Click, as this block likes to call them, and they finally use the Gauntlet so it can speak, but what the alien tells Will (Josh Holloway), Katie, Andrew, and the camp's mediator, Vincent (Waleed Zautier), is that they really are not the enemy of the human race, but rather they were being chased across space by another alien race and they were using Earth and inhabitants as slave labourer's so it could build a defence grid by the time the other aliens arrived!īut MacGregor, having a dark history with the former US Government, decides that the Click is lying and that Katie and Will are double agents working for the Occupation. The remainder of Story A brings the Bowmans and Snyder into the political turmoil of resistance leader Andrew MacGregor (Graham McTavish). The story moves forward as Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Will (Josh Holloway) discover a new kind of alien ship crash down to Earth, causing IGA troops to descend on the area, once again disrupting the Bowman's life, prompting Will to take Katie's and Bram's (Alex Neustaedter) earlier suggestion to reach out to the resistance and barter with Gauntlet. The season is divided in a Story A and Story B structure, kicking off the season by catching up with the Bowmans in the San Bernardo Block, hiding out in a cabin in the woods with new concocted story that includes their dearly beloved "Uncle Alan" in case either the IGA or San Bernardo resistance come a-knocking in effort to protect the Gauntlet, while viewers know Alan Snyder (Peter Jacobson) is still on an IGA leash and could betray the Bowmans at any time.

It literally feels like a different show. The acting and dialogue are a vast improvement, along with some much better directing and cinematography. The story telling from the first episode out has become much more nuanced and serialised.


An "USA Original" Series, Colony comes back for its third season as a cable-worthy show it struggled be in its first two seasons, as production moved from California to Vancouver.
