It take three season but we finally get it . A god dang alien on a show about aliens invading god dang solid ground . God dang this is great !
Colony — about a home fight to survive on an Earth colonized by aliens who seem to use humans themselves as a natural resource — has had a uncollectible substance abuse of fluff its aliens without actually showing them . Instead it ’s prove us drones and mechas that can turn the great unwashed to gory red mist with a blaze . The aliens , and all of their reasons for being here , have remained pretty mysterious .
But not any longer !
Two episodes ago the show teased us again , giving us a glance of a gelatinlike mass in a space ship . It was concentrated to make out anything beyond a panicked prop designer ’s ingenuity , and was , in fact , kind of irritating . The alien was n’t just badly shew , it was also not even representative of the aliens that are the focus of the show . or else , the characters suspected it was from another faction in a war .
This theory was confirmed this week when we see our first full shot of one of the colonizing alien .
And it is … a robot .
Yes , automaton have invaded Earth and are using mankind as trade union movement to build up weapons to be used against the gunk aliens . This was hinted at in the season premiere and is only a little revelatory .
What ’s shocking : The noncitizen ’s insisting that the human - exotic relationship is a collaboration . Up until this point , the premise has been that the alien are callous colonizers who view humanity as “ savages ” that are to be corral , enslaved , or both . Whether this particular outlander is too low down the pole to know what ’s materialize to the human race , or the robo - foreigner have a dissimilar view of equal partnership , remains to be seen .
Either way the world of Colony has just expanded on a stellar scale and it ’s pass to be reasonably toilsome to cover the noncitizen going forwards — which is completely okay by me .
