8 Quotes about USA’s COLONY That Sums up the Appropriate Reactions
The debut of a new show of course came up in Slack conversations, and we have the appropriate responses to USA’s Colony.
The USA Network has debuted a new alien-occupation thriller series for the masses to ingest and become anxious over. Giving a sense of mystery ala LOST, the series shows some potential, but hasn’t exactly hit the sweet spot with a few of us, especially Sarah Wayne Callies character and acting as a whole:
Regarding Callie’s acting and “range”
J – I watched Colony with Sawyer, Parsons was right—Lori is Lori; or the doctor from Prison Break
M – It’s like she’s playing the same character isn’t it? It’s just not me, right?
J – No, i think her range is “boiling under the surface”
Director: give me angry!
her: I have simmering resentment under the surface
director: SIGH. Whatever
M – And she does the EXACT same thing and faces in every sex scene she does.
And she always had a look of uncertainty. Like she’s not sure they’re still filming or not.
J – “am i supposed to be enjoying this?”
The likely appropriate response to this conversation
W – In guessing TV guide won’t be using your quotes for the launch issue.
You’ve definitely convinced me to hold off.
And what could be considered the “official” review of the pilot.
J – Well, the pilot was ok. A lot of setup. It’s just that it seems like some characters are in it and some are cashing a check
W – I’m only interested in cashing checks if it involves breaking necks.
We’ll toast to that!
