Colony Season 2 Episode 7 Recap - DR61

Summary: Last episode we had bookend scenes concerning Simon and his poor mum. This episode, we had another storytelling device (foreshadowing), but they tweaked it a little to keep the audience guessing. The sequences of Frankie prepping that nameless dumbass for his day in the sun and Maya's get-ready routine with Bram were mirrors. Caroline and I agree that a storytelling opportunity was missed though by keeping Bram in the camera's focus without a break. Wouldn't it have been a little more exciting if the ship had exploded and we didn't know where Bram was? We think so and wouldn't have required much more than more clever editing.<br> <br> We also got to see what Will's new work situation is -really- going to look like with Bob "the jerk" Burke as his partner. If the constantly looking over his shoulder and needing to keep one hand on a firearm at all times don't appeal to him, there's the executions and torture to look forward to. I'm convinced Burke was a complete nobody before the Arrival. I don't want to denigrate any specific loser-ey type profession by saying Bob was a fill-in-the-blank, but... I think he's getting a chance to work out a lot of pent up aggression from a previously unfulfilling career. Homicidal, insane vocal inflection-filled aggression.<br> <br> I mean, really! Did he think just putting the emphasis on a different word was going to yield a different result? WHO leads your cell? BLAM. Who LEADS your cell? BLAM. Who leads your CELL? BLAM. It's fair to say Bob was only 1 for 2 on the day's total interview count.<br> <br> In all, peeves aside, a LOT happened this episode. The Resistance blew up a ship! Yay? LA was already on probation from that "Total Rendition" vote. How's that going to play? AND... Will is ready to throw in with the Resistance. But really, I think regardless of affiliation, Will's first plan is going to be get the family out of the bloc. I bet that's what we see in episode 8.
