Colony continues to shock us on every level in this week’s jaw-dropping episode.
Here’s our review.
This review ofColonycontains spoilers.
Its simply too cinematic to be enjoyed on smaller devices.
And Im sure most others at that time will, too, becauseColonywill have become a diehard cult favorite.
In from the Cold, this weeks episode, is a good indication why.
Confrontations that felt far off suddenly blew up, writing out certain characters in the fallout.
(Not that it ever did.)

So why did Will snap and pull the trigger?
My theory is, hes tired of being lied to.
That was a clever way to gauge his wifes reaction, and she played right into it.
I didnt realize that this side of his nature was so strong.
It fuels the mans new personal crusade for simplicity in his life.
But, ultimately, he has to get shady and manipulative himself if he wants to survive.
Its not just Katies betrayals that Will is tired of, though.
Hes also fed up with Snyders games.
During their rendezvous with Quayle, he let it slip that multi-colony transpasses existed.
This is information the proxy governor withheld from the Bowman family just so theyd keep playing along.
How could Will continue to be loyal to someone who treats him like this?
(At least he has Beau on his side.
Beau will never let you down.
Its because he understands her on a basic level.
Yet all of this is based off of subtext only right now, so its best to move along.
(Another moment lifted straight out ofWayward Pines.)
Ultimately, her character served as a foil for Katie.
Like Miss Bowman, she was a mother that served the Resistance.
But instead of lying to her children, she told them everything.
Was the show trying to punish her for that by killing her off?
The other huge reveal from episode eight is that The Factory is on the moon.
However, Id be just as content if the show continued on as is.
