As it’s an American show I’ve gone with the US spelling of colonisation above, well it is an American city being colonized 
The new USA Network sci-fi-ish drama series Colony is due to broadcast the first episode on Thursday of next week (the 14th of Jan).
For the past few months the station has been releasing posters, teaser trailers, interviews with the key cast and crew, behind-the-scenes videos, Tweets galore and even the whole first episode as a preview. Much has been said about the nature of the colonisation of LA. Is it aliens? Are other cities in the US or elsewhere across the world similarly walled in? A likely ‘yes’ on both counts. No doubt in the coming few days there’ll be a lot more.
One thing that we’ve not heard anything further about since the news broke last August of Kathryn’s recurring role as Charlotte is anything further about Kathryn’s recurring role. Adrian Pasdar (Heroes), who is said to play a politician and is Charlotte’s husband, has gone equally unmentioned. Their parts are not listed on the show’s Wikipedia page and have not come up in any of the publicity so far. There have been no spoiler leaks on any of the major gossip sites either.
This lack of discussion could be a worrying sign of a significant change in the story lines or the production team have done a good job in keeping things locked down. Perhaps the press have largely agreed to go along with the secrecy for the sake of the drama. Who knows?
What we do know is that Colony starring Josh Holloway (Lost), Sarah Wayne Callies (The Walking Dead), Peter Jacobson (House), Amanda Righetti (The Mentalist) and Paul Guilfoyle (CSI) is just a week away. There are ten episodes in the series. Will you be watching?
