In this episode, Katie stows away on a bus, only to discover that - *gasp* - the people onboard are being transferred to another bus. Edge-of-your-seat stuff.
What turns out to be the only interesting scene in the entire episode - Broussad and Dr Woman get their hands on some mysterious technology - is ruined by Dr Woman asking: "if this isn't human technology, then where is it from?" Broussad keeps quiet, but his look says "well, we have been, y'know, occupied by aliens for two and a half seasons..."
This latest travesty of an episode just confirms my suspicions: Colony thinks that it's clever, suspenseful writing, but in reality it has simply taken a well-worn, overused sci fi trope and stretched it so thin, it's transparent. This is why not much plot progression has taken place over nearly 30 episodes - the defining hallmark of that other more-questions-than-answers show, Lost. Wonder why that is?
I know, I know - I should stop watching this junk, but given the shameful paucity of other sci fi alternatives, I'll probably bite the bullet and keep watching
