I'm guessing this is just phase one or something.
The only thing we've seen them use people for (other than law enforcers, aka "red hats") are working in The Factory which is either on or orbiting the moon. That scene from last season showed that the factory workers were getting radiation poisoning, so, to the invaders, people are pretty much dispensable...like worker ants.
I think we'll have some answers if/when we learn what the heck is going on at the Factory.

Come to think of it, the fact that the people working in shipping are in what they're calling "labor camps" and the Moon people are at "the factory", that tells us something already.
"Labor camp" just means they're doing menial work.
"The Factory" implies that they are manufacturing something.
Maybe they're building some kind of portal that will bring in millions more invaders and once that's accomplished, they won't need "disposable" human laborers or manufacturers anymore.

Or they don't need them now but are performing a sick genocide.

I had a dream this morning that I was in a big auditorium of some kind and I realized that the people hosting the show were aliens and were keeping us there for a food source. I kept trying to convince all my friends that we needed to get out or we were going to die. I blame this show.

Thats weird. A couple of weeks ago I had a similar dream! I was trying to urge the people I was with on a trip to go back, to run away from our 'hosts' because they were going to kill us and eat us! It may be this show or some other outworldly things I cannot resist watching.

OK at the end, who was the woman Bram was talking to.. in the preview, that is? I looked twice but don't know.
Putting the cam on the drone was pretty cool.

It is a wonder more humans didnt kill themselves rather than face life with aliens in control. Everyone is separed from other cities and parts of the world by being walled in and watched day and night. I'm surprised that group who managed stopping the drone for a few minutes succeeded at all.

Seamonkey, I kept rewinding that scene and I *think* it is Kate's sister (but it was hard to tell).

I never watch previews. Won't remember them by the next week anyway, plus I don't want to know.

I'm 99% sure it was "Van Pelt" (Sorry, I can't remember her "Colony" name, so I often think of her by her "Mentalist" name!)

SFJF... who is "Van Pelt?" Is that another character that Kate's sister (Maddie) played on another show?

Yes. I can never remember that her name is "Maddie" on Colony!
I watched The Mentalist for all 7 seasons and that actress played a detective named Grace Van Pelt (one of the 5 main characters) Link....maybe if Colony lasts that long, I'll finally start to see her as "Maddie".

So.. we see a brief scene in England.. I assume this will be important later??
Looking like the second in command proxy and Kate's sister could be in jeopardy now that the former proxy ratted on him.
And he only showed an empty pod, which I guess means people are being shot up to the moom/factory in pods? Odd since I would think they'd go in groups.
I think Bram was right to not take the goodies from his aunt.. it would just put a target on him.. not just FOR the goodies but more for the favoritism assumed.

Sea, that scene in England was confusing and I could be wrong but it looked like the guy in the picture they showed that woman, was the guy in the Resistance in Los Angeles. I could be wrong because they "flashed" the picture but they looked alike to me.

And you hit it.. from the recap:
quote:We open in Northern England, where it looks like Jennifer McMahon’s lie that Resistance member Simon Eckhart was her source might have far-reaching implications. Back underground, Simon is climbing the walls after weeks of being cooped up
.
and
quote:Half a world away, Simon Eckhart’s mother is rounded up at a refugee camp. Is she going to pay for the sins of her son?

and I definitely didn't realize it was his mother on the posters...

Wow! All of that went right over my head. Absolutely no idea. Why do they put such obscure references in these TV shows? I would never catch any of this without you guys and the recaps. I have a hard enough time remembering who everybody is from week to week.

Sea, I totally missed that it was his mother's face on the posters. It's a good thing I have y'all to help me catch stuff.

So the resistance has found out for sure that their 'colony' will be emptied of humans in the near future. And what was the woman in the pod about? It reminded me of the Matrix they way she was coughing when she spilled out of it. At some point I hope Will murders that evil partner of his.

I think Will will soon be fed up so much with his job and the Administration that he will leave and join the Resistance. I was surprised that he gave his wife his OK to go back to Resistance work.
