The Colony

Recommended Posts

Anyone been watching this show. I think it is fascinating. It will be interesting around 5 weeks in.

http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/colony/about/colony.html


What would you do in the wake of a global catastrophe? How would you find food? Water? Shelter?
The Colony is a controlled experiment to see exactly what it would take to survive and rebuild under these circumstances. For 10 weeks, a group of 10 volunteers, whose backgrounds and expertise represent a cross-section of modern society, are isolated in an urban environment outside Los Angeles and tasked with creating a livable society.
With no electricity from the grid, no running water and no communication with the outside world, all the volunteers have to work with are their skills and whatever tools and supplies they can scavenge from their surroundings.
Experts from the fields of homeland security, engineering and psychology have helped design the world of The Colony to reflect elements from both real-life disasters and models of what the future could look like after a global viral outbreak.
Over the course of the 10-week experiment, the Colonists must work together to build the necessities of survival, such as a water-filtration system, a battery bank that powered their electricity, a solar cooker, a shower system and a greenhouse – and even some niceties (a coffee maker!).

Why did you post an exact repeat of everything that was in the first post?
Oh I see, you made the web reference clicky.
Couldn't you have just done that and removed everything else?

The show seemed like a neat concept, and I watched the first episode, but wasn't too impressed. I missed the second show. Is it getting any better to where I should try it again? It seemed more like a "monster garage" show, with tinkerers putting things together with scrap parts.

Sorry I didnt really think of it as a spoiler and wanted people to see it is worth watching. The second show was good. It can only get better. These guys are starting to feel like it is reality to them. In a few weeks they will be way beyond an experiment

Terrible show. End of the world and no guns? :| Defend myself, defend my family, defend my home and the food/water.

Oh yeah... I forgot, it's Los Angeles, where only the crooks and criminals will have guns.
