Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi

Inside the Occupation, the Resistance, and the Cost of Survival Season Two of Colony deepens everything that made the series one of the most compelling dystopian dramas of the last decade. Set in a fractured, authoritarian Los Angeles under alien rule, the show sharpens its focus on loyalty, rebellion, and the impossible choices ordinary people face when their world is carved up by occupiers and collaborators. Interviews include: Josh Holloway as Will Bowman A former Army Ranger and FBI agent, Will is now working inside the Transitional Authority. His job gives him access, leverage, and danger in equal measure — especially as he uncovers the truth about the Hosts’ plans. Sarah Wayne Callies as Katie Bowman Katie, owner of The Yonk — a New Orleans–style bar — remains deeply embedded in the Resistance.  🧩 Power Brokers and Survivors Season Two widens its lens to explore the political and personal forces shaping life under occupation. Adrian Pasdar — Nolan Burgess Pasdar portrays Nolan Burgess, a key figure in the Transitional Authority’s upper ranks. Burgess is a master of political maneuvering — a man who understands that proximity to the Hosts means power, privilege, and peril.  Amanda Righetti — Madeline “Maddie” Kenner Righetti plays Maddie, Katie’s younger sister, whose journey reflects the compromises ordinary people make to survive.  Tory Kittles — Eric Broussard Kittles discusses stepping into the role of Broussard, a former U.S. Marine Recon officer and CIA paramilitary operator who later worked as a private military contractor.  Peter Jacobson — Alan Snyder Jacobson breaks down the psychology of Snyder, the Proxy Governor of Los Angeles. Snyder is a master of survival — a collaborator who answers directly to the Hosts, navigating ambition, fear, and the shifting politics of occupation.
