The Colony

[d_hawkins]

Has anybody seen Discovery Channels "The Colony" (also on netflix)???
I just want to start a topic about this show. A lot of the stuff on there is good information, not sure how much of it is useful thought. I see their priorities change and jump all over. We all know water, shelter, security, and food are the most important. Just want yalls input.

Season 1 was great, 2 started to smell almost like reality tv, but it was still good.

I hope they do a third season

Season 1 was much better.

I watched season 2 first, then found season 1 on netflix. I think it does a good job to raise awareness, but im not sure if their priorities are survive and thrive, or make good tv to make a name/ and or money. Just wanted some input, on the episode i watched tonight (S1E7) one of the things presented to them was their faith, which will play a big part of
my survival. It seamed as though they we not really concerned with the important things, such as WATER!!!

I learned one thing from that show:

be careful who you let in your group. Some of those super liberal women just pissed me off the whole time and wanted to give stuff away to anyone who asked.

That is a very good point. How many is too many, are their skill-sets valuable to the group, are they a risk, these are all questions you have to ask yourself.

Me personally, i think the 2 groups first to go are the Rambos and the Hippies. The Rambos walking around with guns and guns and guns, probably wont be able to boil water, or lay low (OpSec), and when they run out of ammo-they are done. The hippies who want to love the world by sharing their resources are just asking to be over taken. My faith will play a big part, i feel that after TEOTWAWKI the world will rebuild itself. We have all heard that history repetes itself.

I watched Season 2 just to look at my old stomping grounds. It was funny to see some of the places they went where you know they crossed traffic.

About 6 episodes into The Colony LA and I find myself wanting to strangle some of these idiots.

I mean some of the things they do are neat. They clearly are being told what to do and have some sort of schedule though.

However IMO the most important things that they would have to do they cannot replicate.

Like dealing with the big ass dude and his girl that show up. Actually harming the looters etc.

It's interesting but hard to take serious.

Anyone know if they are making a season 3?

No, someone died on the set in season three. The series is DOA.

I think one of the "raiders" smacked a guy in the head and he fell down a set of stairs

That is what i heard as well.

From what I read a Raider was swinging a weapon, it unintentionally struck the colonist in the head and as a result he fell down a flight of stairs.



I also read the families attempt to sue(of course) was dead on arrival considering they sign an absolute complete waiver of death and all other injuries with the producers. Supposedly that Waiver is VERY extensive and complete.
