*This post discusses plot lines through the most current episode. This is your friendly warning. Phyllis. What can we say about Phyllis? We only knew her briefly and never even learned her last name. She was taken too quickly when Broussard was appeared in a ‘Blind Spot’. Yet in that time, she made a huge impact on the series COLONY and its fans.
She was oh so smart and cunning. Just look how she “played” Katie at the Homeland offices. She said just enough to make Katie nervous and unsettled before eventually quietly confronting her at The Yonk. And she used Bram’s tapes to make Will nervous, not an overt threat, but enough to give her the upper hand.
She was compassionate but had the courage to look at the greater good. She suggested that the Resistance could be reckless and do more harm than good. She made tough choices that definitely were not popular.

She was a smooth talker. And I literally mean a soft, smooth orator. I do not believe we ever heard her raise her voice during her arc. Her tone may have become firmer at times, but she never yelled. This keeps people on their toes. It is usually the calmer party in an argument that wins. You cannot argue with someone who does not argue back.
She was committed and motivated. We can see that she took her job very seriously. And now we know why. Her dearly beloved was obviously very ill, possibly from a stroke or ALS, and in need of ongoing care. She refused to let him down.
Think of all the characters in COLONY and what motivates them. I believe these different motivations drive the story to impressive heights and engage viewers all the more.
I hope the storyline continues to address the personal side of each character’s actions and gives us rich back stories to understand their motivations. What better than an intelligent story with heart??
Here’s to Phyllis! Thank you, Kathy Baker, for your insightful portrayal of Phyllis. We are grateful that you deepened the story for us. We are sad to see you go.
But cheers to COLONY for making such wise casting decisions and here’s to Season 1 and now Season 2 as well!
Please be sure to share your thoughts about Phyllis in the comments section.

If you have not yet visited the ColonyTV.com website, you are missing out on some awesome interactive features. The site takes you inside the Los Angeles bloc and allows you to set up your own security profile. But do not stop there.
There’s much more! You will have the opportunity to choose your side as a Collaborator or member of the Resistance movement. Changing loyalties makes you a double agent. Switching allegiances also allows you to unlock classified intel from both sides. Earn achievements by completing missions and other interactions with the site.
One of the most insightful features is the map of locations throughout the bloc. You can explore areas in the Green Zone as well as the Flats and learn about characters in those areas. Not all locations on the map are available yet depending on which episodes have aired. So check back regularly for new locations and available features. And if you are leaning toward the Resistance, be sure to keep your eyes and ears peeled for secret Geronimo broadcasts!

We have seen images of Carl Weathers in COLONY promo pics. But we do not yet know the context of his role. Fortunately, we now know he will be around for awhile! Mr. Weathers shared the following tweet today sharing that he would be in the next 8 episodes of the new USA Network series after the COLONY pilot.
COLONY pilot broadcast tonight, 10:00PM. You’ve got to WATCH to get context ’cause yours truly will be in the next 8 episodes. #BePeace
If you have not watched the COLONY yet on early release, be sure to tune in tonight at 10:00 p.m. EST to get on board. The show is quickly gaining a large and loyal following, so don’t miss out!
In the new series COLONY from USA Network, the Los Angeles area is now under a mysterious state of occupation. The ColonyTV website gives stories of the arrival of the new regime. There are tales of mayhem, separation of families, and threats of violence.
After the initial shock, “Colonists” begin their new lives with new rules and far fewer privileges. Some join a Resistance movement. Others enlist in the new “Red Hat” militia and enforce the laws of the Transitional Authority. Some keep their heads down and hope it all blows over sooner rather than later. Perhaps some try to play more than one side.
So, how would I respond? How would YOU respond? It’s certainly easier to envision how I would hope I would respond rather than have to consider my actual fears.
However, it is these questions that make said story so engaging. This story makes you think outside of your safety net and consider your own strengths and weaknesses.

Once again, I have turned to the growing number of COLONY fans to find out their thoughts on the best way to navigate the travails facing our survivors on screen. I posed three options to fans:
Lay low
Join the Resistance asap
Enlist with the Red Hats
But leave it to the very intelligent fans of COLONY to provide much more creative options. Consider the following ideas shared by fans!
@TalkColonyTV First, lay low, observe and assess. Then join the resistance and enlist with the red hats as a spie. ^__^ I’d do it all. Lol

What can I say? COLONY fans cannot be limited to a mere 3 choices. They are too smart for that!
Complex scenarios and really tough choices already have viewers engaged in COLONY, even ahead of its official premiere this Thursday, January 14th, on USA Network. Thank you Carlton Cuse, Ryan Condal, cast and crew for giving us such a complex story to sink our teeth into! Fans are ready to immerse themselves in the mystery and intrigue of COLONY.
