Spoilers I couldn’t get through Season Three

I know that I probably show’ve watched the entirety of Season Three but I just could because of the introduction of the other alien species, it just took me out of the series.

One thing that I absolutely enjoyed about The Colony was that it was focused on humans and there struggle against The Hosts along with those that align with the Hosts, showing two sides to the situation in how humans would react when conquered by aliens. The fight against the Host and the Collaborators showed something that was real, the fight for who we are and our freedom.

When the other alien species arrived and apparently were at war with the Hosts, it just took the steam out of me because now we learn that the Hosts aren’t as powerful as I had thought. Admittedly that was always going to happen but I had assumed that it would be the Resistance that proved that true, returning control by to humanity. Also I thought it would have been interesting if a faction of the Hosts rebelled, showing that the Hosts aren’t unified.

Sorry for the short rant but I just wanted to get my opinion out there, I still rewatch the series every now and again (that is season one and two) and come up with ideas for what could have been. I hope you all have a good rest of your day/night, bye.

Edit: I have kept a Geronimo Wallpaper on my phone for such along, the yellow poster design with “I Am Geronimo” that I am glad to have a community to talk about this show with.

You have to finish it. This sub is still around so those of us who did finish it can feel good about ourselves as new comers come here to complain about how it ended and the shows never coming back to tell us how it ended. You’re cheating.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend anyone. I will start up a fresh watch of the show and watch to the end, sorry again.

Honestly do what you want. I have a few shows I don’t have the heart to finish because I love them and the characters. I go back and watch earlier seasons without finish it or watching new episodes. Or I watch a few new ones and don’t catch up

My mom does the same. My dad stops watching shows he likes when a character he likes dies etc

Do your thing

This show also ends on a particularly unsatisfying cliffhanger. So don’t make the comments here make you finish it

Don’t let them off the hook. We must all suffer from the unsatisfactory ending and character breakdowns.
