How do you like your Devon? Pulp? Or no pulp? Episodes like this one are fun to watch. A little heartbreaking, sure, but still fun. Alas, poor Devon. We hardly knew her. She never Landoed Will, like I was suspecting she would. She helped him out, kept on eye on his flight-risk kid, and taught him how to survive in Santa Monica. Now, she's just one bloody smear among many on the Santa Monica side of the wall. You can't get too attached to mentor-ish characters in Colony. They don't last. Although Colony's propensity for dispensing with mentors remained consistent, we also experienced a pleasant change this past week in the form of Katie taking some responsibility for her actions. Well, kind of. She really passes the buck to Jennifer on whether or not she's actually held accountable. That is, if Jennifer can bring herself to turn in a grieving mother and maybe widow. Nice way to back into responsibility. "If you say I am, then I will be." I for one loved to see former Proxy Snyder in action and with a little of his old swagger back. The office desk on the far side of a concrete room is classic Snyder. One way or another, he is not staying in the prison any longer than he has to. Next week it looks like Katie and Will have a much needed come to Jesus moment - under the watchful eye of Jennifer and Homeland Security. Can't wait to see how that turns out!

Tons of action and Action Jackson was nowhere to be seen! This one was all about Will and Proxy Snyder trying to survive an ambush, Broussard trying to perform that ambush, and Katie trying to fit into the middle of the ambush without Will ever finding out about it. Given her natural talent for disguise and espionage, it's hard to believe Will could ever find her out. And by that I mean it's just a matter of time because she -doesn't- actually have any natural talent in those areas and I have serious doubts about the integrity of the resistance's training program. I sure love great action scenes, but even more I love when light is shone upon up until now unknown nuggets of info about the Colony universe. You wouldn't expect an action oriented episode to have such meaty exposition, but it does and it really works. The pace of the show didn't drag as a result of the three or four gut-spilling sessions our characters had. Congrats, Colony Creators! This week, my sister joins us on the podcast, and be on the lookout for a mid-week mini-cast with listener Paul Rabenowitz as he and I discuss Colony, some of our favorite TV in general and the book Flatland as it relate to Colony.

Will's team is shaken up after the murder of their former boss and everybody's going to have to get used to the new guy being in charge. If I was Jennifer, I'd be all like, "Anything he can do, I can do better," but I doubt it would work on Proxy Snyder. At least not right now. Phyllis' death has him very nervous and all of the sudden it doesn't matter that he doesn't have the right Geronimo in custody. In cases where a public example needs to be made, any Geronimo will do. Other Geronimos may surface (they do), but they don't quite look the part quite like poor, under-represented Luis (I guess certain rights, like legal representation, have been suspended during the occupation). This was a fine episode, and one that helped add texture to the levels of human bureaucracy above the proxy level, but overall it was meant to serve up next week's episode (which looks action-packed). We end on a cliffhanger and a preview promising a gunfight, so stick around and we'll catch up next week! Direct iTunes link. More on Nostromo. More on bulletproof defendant's boxes. More on the statue in Echo Park. Other times the "words are stronger than guns" idea has been used in history.
